James Gunn's 'The Suicide Squad' spinoff stars John Cena in the title role of a self-proclaimed superhero devoted to achieving peace at any cost, no matter how many people he has to kill to get it.
That “something sad” proves to be bruised heart of, beating from underneath thick layers of juvenile humor and self-aware snark.
Like so much else of creator’s work in the super-something realm, the series is equally interested in provoking giggles at exploding heads or dick jokes as it is in wringing tears for its poor tragic weirdos. And while it more or less succeeds on both counts, it struggles to stand out in a sea of other superhero content doing much the same thing — often at the hands of Gunn himself.
