This ain't no Director's Cut or Ultimate Cut, it's just a normal dvd release with a lot of deleted scenes. Ayer had already revealed in an interview that the TC was his version but there's about 10mins of footage that they can add.

Maybe. We'll see. I also don't think it'll be drastically different. But they have to do SOME editing to make all the new scenes work. So it's not necessarily like they're just inserting deleted scenes. They have to edit the music and sound to make it flow.

Well, for all we know, Ayer could have been lying for the studio's sake. At least, it's pretty clear that there were some important scenes cut from Suicide Squad. The version released in theaters had some very poor editing.

Even though I'm excited to see the extended cut (I still liked the theatrical cut and I won't be trashing it even if the EC is miles better - you can tag this post to hold me to my word if need be), I am also pounding my head and rolling my eyes.
See. If this kind of $h!t becomes a regular thing for WB, what's the point in even seeing these movies in theaters? I mean, seriously.
"Sorry, we admit the studio cut stunk so here's our extended cut that will likely fix at least a few problems."
Well, then why didn't you just release THAT cut in the first place? F#%#%ing idiots.
Look, BvS was one thing, Suicide Squad is pushing it, and if they do it again with Wonder Woman and Justice League, that's when it's officially over for me. Because I'm not paying 10 dollars to see an inferior cut of a movie only to have the supposed "better" cut of it come out on DVD four months later. That is the biggest cash-grab sad excuse of moviemaking there is.
Lord of the Rings had the extended cuts and granted, they're superior to the theatrical cuts, but they didn't release deliberately inferior products to cash in on "better" versions. It was more like "You like our movies? Here's a little something for you to EXPAND on what you already loved" as opposed to "What? Had a problem with our movie? Here's a fixer upper for you. Enjoy!"
WB can take a bucket of piss and call it Granny's peach tea. But they won't fool a fly or me. I'm not going to drink it. Not again.
How does it feel to be deconstructed? -

To be fair, that's just how we're interpreting it. The reality is that most fans liked the movie. It made a lot of money and it had good legs at the box office. The fact that the critics hated it is mostly irrelevant.
And it's only 13 extra minutes. It's not the "overhaul" (if we can even call it that) that the UE of BvS was. That was a slightly different version of the movie. This might literally just be a longer version of SS. It looks like they're just adding most of the Joker/Harley stuff back in.

Yeah, I don't know if it technically qualifies as that. It's not like they weren't going to release the TC on home media anyway. I suppose more people will buy this now, but no one is forcing anyone to buy anything. If you didn't like SS, I doubt these extra 13 minutes will change your mind.

big deal, there's another extended cut seriously who cares? at worst you get more scenes to dive deeper into the world. people blowing this out of proportion are like people in politics that making everything 10 times more than what they are.
