"X Task Force" easter eggs and plot analysis

The

film unfolds slowly in the song "Folsom Prison Blues" composed specially for a prisoner friend by country singer Johnny Cash , "scholar" Brian Delin (Savant) first appeared, and the use of precision The calculated bouncing ball killed a bird, suggesting that this character is extremely clever and extremely cruel at the same time.

starred in the "scholar" Brian Delin actor named Michael Luke , also played the role of Yongdu in " Guardians of the Galaxy ". Since the film’s director James Gunn also directed "Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and 2" (was fired by Marvel for improper remarks), he did not hesitate to use a lot of him in the Marvel universe. The old squad, such as Sean Gunn, who starred in "Silver Guard" and "Rocket Raccoon" in "Silver Guard", starred in the film by motion capture; "Mantis Girl" actor Pang Clementine starred A dancer in the bar; and of course Silves Stallone who voiced "The Shark King."

This film undertakes the plot at the end of the upper part "Suicide Squad" . The 2016 team caused great damage in Midway City, but the person in charge Amanda Waller was not affected by it. Dealing with it, because she has a list of superhumans at hand ( "Flash" , "Aquaman" , etc.) and "Batman" Bruce Wayne made a deal to obtain the other's asylum. This allows Amanda to continue to select suitable "supernatural persons" from "Sweet Dream Manor" to serve "American Interests" . In fact, they are all extremely dangerous suicide missions outsourced by the government.

Amanda has prepared two teams for this "Starfish Project" . Team A was used as cannon fodder to attract the attention of the Kotomatis government forces on the southern beach. The members include Halle Quinn , Colonel Rick Freig , "Boomerang Captain" , "Scholars" ", , "Black Guard" , , "Breaker" , , "Mongo," , , "Javelin" , and , "Yellow Weasel" . Among them, "Black Guard" should have been instigated by Amanda before secretly selling the team's whereabouts to Kotomatis government (it is very suspicious that he can communicate with the outside world in a heavily guarded prison).


Corto Maltese (Corto Maltese) is a fictional country in the DC universe. Its geographical location and culture are close to Cuba in the real world, so the tragic and ridiculous failure of Team A is a replica of the "Bay of Pigs Landing".


Harley Quinn

Harley Quinn was originally rescued by the clown at the end of the 2016 version of "Suicide Squad" , but in the subsequent "Birds of Prey" , she couldn't stand it. The madness and fickleness of the clown chose to break up with it. Recently, because of a bank robbery, he entered the palace for the second time, and Amanda Waller was re-carried into "Manor of Dreams" .

has a small detail. In the 2016 version of "Suicide Squad", Harley Quinn was originally tattooed with a clown tattoo, accompanied by the text "property of Joker" (property of Joker). In this film, you can see that the text has changed to "property of no one" (property of no one), which indicates that Halle has got rid of the clown's control over her and has begun to move towards independence.

As the members of Team A were killed one by one by the opposing firepower, Halle and Rick Freig finally realized that their team’s mission was just to attract attention for another team. Team B, which landed safely on the northern beaches, is the “Task Force X” that really carried out the “Starfish Project” . The members include "Bloody Movement" , "Peace Messenger" , "Shark King" , "Poka Dot Man" and "Second Generation Rat Catcher" , compared with Team A, Team B’s The members all have quite powerful abilities.

Regarding the abilities of these members and the background of the comics, you can read the author’s previous article, the link is at the end of the article.

z14 Sexual character (based on her earlier performance in 2016 "Suicide Squad" and later "Birds Squad" , this is not surprising), not only treated her courteously, but also planned to marry her, showing this to the world The country’s anti-American stance. However, Harley Quinn once vowed to kill all the boyfriends who "stepped on the line" after breaking up with the clown , so when Silvio told Harley that he would When the opponent’s family was imprisoned in "Jorgenheim" for human experiments, they touched the bottom line of Halle , and the latter shot and killed him.


"Thinker"

was captured by the team along with "Thinker" Gaius Greaves . They learned that the so-called "Project Starfish" was actually an experiment manipulated by the US government, NASA's space flight The crew captured the alien species Staro from outer space to the earth, but in order to avoid the catastrophic consequences of the experiment, the US government simply transported Staro to the pro-American Kotomati at the time. S, used living people to conduct cruel research experiments in the underground of Jorgenheim Castle , "Thinker" was the chief scientist in charge of the project at that time. However, now that Kotomatis has suffered a coup and the military government that came to power is extremely anti-American, the US government has to consider removing clues to the plan.

"Thinker" is not actually a character in DC comics, but a collection of several high IQ villains. Their common feature is that they want to develop their brain abilities to the extreme. In the fourth season of the TV series "The Flash", there was a "thinker" character named Clifford Dewo, who also possessed mind control and other abilities in the play (but the "Flash" series does not belong to the DCEU world view ).


"Project Starfish"

Jorgenheim retains the full video of the capture of Staro by American astronauts at the time. You can see that the size of the first Staro is not large, and its spores are parasitic in several places. After the astronaut, its body shape immediately changed significantly. In the comics, Staro can indeed absorb consciousness from the controlled prey to expand its size and ability. It also hints at why the Staro at the end of the film has become such a huge monster.

In addition, we can also see in the clip that Staro is tied to the bulkhead of the spacecraft, while other astronauts take selfies around him in a playful manner. One of the female astronauts also made a smoking cigarette. Gestures, this is satirizing the infamous incident of prisoner abuse by the US military in Iraq. When the mystery of

was revealed, the "peace messenger" also showed his true identity. Among the X task force , only he knew the real goal of Amanda Waller's "Starfish Project" , and that was to cover up the United States at all costs. Crimes committed by governments in other countries. For this reason, when "Bringer of Peace" killed Colonel Rick Freig, , and also planned to start with "second-generation rat catcher" , "Blood Movement" appeared with a "smaller" "The bullet" defeated it in the duel.

but at this time Starro from YorgenHeim broke free from the underground prison of , and began to release spores frantically attacking the people of Kotomatis . The remaining members of the X task force gathered together and used their respective potentials to finally bring this huge Monster uniform.


Finally, the author would like to say that although "Task Force X" is a restricted movie, it is full of blood and violence while discussing a warm theme, how do we face those family members who have hurt us? And friends .

"Bloody Movement" is actually the dead shot in the previous "Suicide Squad" ( Will Smith cannot continue to play because of the schedule conflict). Because he is a killer and cannot give his daughter the correct guidance, The grievances between father and daughter led to a rift in the relationship; but when Amanda Waller tried to use his daughter to blackmail him, he immediately angered him, indicating that his daughter still occupies an important position in the minds of "bloody movement" .

"Poca Dot Man" was infected with different-dimensional virus because his mother working in "STAR Lab" (STAR ​​Lab) regarded him as a test subject, so he could not forgive his mother for the rest of his life. Everywhere I saw was the illusion of that woman. In the end, he regarded the monster Staro in front of him as his mother, and released all the grudges from the past to it, and he died like a real superhero, just as his mother expected.

The "second-generation rat catcher" has a good relationship with his father, but the other party died early due to drug overdose, leaving her in a trance all day long (she may be so sleepy because she was able to see her father in a dream), In the end, it was relying on her father's ability to control mice that allowed "the second-generation mouse catcher" to control the city's mice flocking to Staro .

"Peace Messenger" 's father is an extremely extreme person, and has serious Nazi tendencies (the film only briefly mentions his father, but the ending egg shows that "Peace Messenger" is not dead, and Warner also recently confirmed that his father will appear in the personal episode of "The Messenger of Peace"). This is also the reason why "peace messenger" extremely advocates violence, and even does not hesitate to use the name of peace to justify its violent behavior.

Even "Shark King" , a monster who has no friends (family information is unknown), also found a sense of belonging in the laboratory of Jorgenheim , and regarded a group of alien jellyfish as his own kind/friend, but I was bitten all over by them.
