Nowadays, the key figure in Hollywood isn’t a famous actor or a movie executive, but an everyday movie fan. In recent times, these fans have displayed considerable influence.  When a movie isn’t good and gets bad reviews, it’s usually expected and not surprising, much like hearing about a dog biting a person – it’s a common thing. However, the fans of Suicide Squad reacted in a unique way. They got really upset, almost as if the movie critics had said something mean about their mothers. Those who criticized Suicide Squad received sudden and angry messages via email and Twitter.

Even before the movie critics could say anything, the super dedicated Suicide Squad fans were already forcing everyone else to like the DC superhero stuff as much as they did. It’s like they were saying, “We love this, so you have to love it too.” Even after 7 years these fans often point to its impressive financial performance as evidence of its popularity and influence. Fans also emphasize the charismatic performances of the cast, particularly Margot Robbie’s portrayal of Harley Quinn, which earned praise and even led to the character receiving her own spin-off films.
