History YMMV / SuicideSquadKillTheJusticeLeague

* MemeticLoser: Brainiac developed this reputation due to his OrcusOnHisThrone tendencies which got his Justice League defeated due to him not intervening sooner to help them. While his capture and brainwashing of the League sounds impressive, the fact it mostly happened due to Superman grabbing the IdiotBall means Brainiac didn't truly defeat them. ([[spoiler:However, that pales in comparison to Brainiac actually being defeated by The Squad, who by design are supposed to be a team of disposable B to C list villains mostly armed with guns, which makes him look even more pathetic. Finally, the reveal that there are 12 other variants of Brainiac that the game expects the Suicide Squad to defeat, means Brainiac is going to lose to the same team for a grand total of 13 times!]]) Not a terribly impressive track record for a galactic conquerer.

** Tonally, it draws a lot of [[FollowTheLeader inspiration from the edgy, irreverent demeanour of superhero deconstruction stories]] like ''ComicBook/TheBoys'' and ''Series/GenV'', with a plot revolving around killing famous superheroes gone bad and a bunch of nasty AntiHero protagonists constantly indulging in profane and wacky antics. However, while those works use {{Corrupted Character Cop|y}}ies of classic superheroes, meaning audiences have no attachment to them, this game instead uses the actual Justice League, a group of beloved comic icons subject to brainwashing. Audiences are going to be considerably less interested in doing as the title suggests and putting them down, especially as a bunch of irreverent press-ganged supervillains who'll gloat about it.
** As an adaptation, it's based mainly on ''Film/SuicideSquad2016'', one of the worst reviewed DCEU films, and post-Flashpoint ''ComicBook/SuicideSquad'' comics, which are infamous for kick-starting a massive AudienceAlienatingEra for the team as a whole. Suicide Squad fans are tired of seeing the Squad made of A-listers who engage in generic superhero missions instead of being the anti-heroes they were conceived as, and ''specially'' of SpotlightStealingSquad Harley Quinn. This is specially jarring considering it follows the acclaimed ''Film/TheSuicideSquad'', which [[RevisitingTheRoots was precisely beloved for bringing a much more faithful adaptation]] of the CultClassic Jon Ostrander run.

** Another Suicide Squad piece of media that spotlights only A-list Squad members (despite... you know, them being dispensable [[CListFodder C-Listers is kind of their point]]) that pits them against an existential threat to humanity, in contrast to the team's original political nature, and [[BewareTheSuperman vilifies the JLA in yet another attempt to make Superman evil]]. This is especially bad considering the success of ''Film/TheSuicideSquad'', which was praised for its CharacterRerailment to the Squad's original roots.

** Even Amanda Waller gets into this. Her use of a nuclear bomb as soon as the skull ship's shield is down (with the squad and a lot of civilians in the blast zone) is supposed to be a MoralEventHorizon. However, given the [[GodzillaThreshold threat level]] against the entire world, it seems to be the obvious tactical choice. If it had worked and destroyed the core of the invasion fleet, it might have even ended the war right there.

* BileFascination: The immense backlash to [[spoiler:Batman's]] death has caused an increased amount of interest from people who actually enjoy just how far the game is taking RefugeInAudacity and are now more interested than they were before. Though this ultimately didn't help initial sales, and, at least on Steam, the game [[https://www.pcgamesn.com/suicide-squad-kill-the-justice-league/less-than-1000-players ended up having under 1000 players]] less than a month after launch and would continue dropping to under 400. This downward spire would continue until the game wounded up with less players than the already abandoned [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFrI8hUezb8 Marvel's The Avengers.]]
