Notably, he seemed to get this from Creator/WarnerBros themselves too, as, despite the film's AcclaimedFlop status, not only did they greenlight [[Series/{{Peacemaker}} a spinoff streaming series]] which received similar acclaim, but they eventually put Gunn in charge of ''all of DC Films'', with him spearheading a full DCEU reboot and directing the first film in the new universe, ''Superman Legacy'', to widespread anticipation from fans.

He also chatters his teeth (bruxing) to express happiness at the end, another distinctive show of rat body language.

* DiagnosedByTheAudience: Ratcatcher II has many traits of people with autism and can easily be seen by the audience as on the spectrum. Amongst other things:
** To start with, her fascination and love for rats is clearly what people with autism call a ''special interest''. [[note]]Liking something--it can be anything, but usally something "most people" would not really like--almost to the point of obsession, and having the need to talk about it a lot to other people who do not share the interest, and sometimes aren't even interested in having such detailed discussions about it at all[[/note]]
** There's also the fact that she so strongly believes that people totally misjudge rats and are wrong to believe them to be [[YouDirtyRat vile creatures]]. She seems genuinely hurt by this. People with autism often feel strongly for "the underdog" and can be prome to call out they are judged/treated unfairly.
** She's naive. Bloodsport at one point even calls her a "little idiot".
** HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She completely misses that King Shark, during the first half of the movie before they become friends, would gladly eat her (or her teammates), and when he almost does, she initally stands up for King Shark against her fellow team mates who saw it happen--until her rat Sebastian communicates to her that King Shark in fact did try to eat her.
** Her subsequent interaction with King Shark where she asks to become his friends, is weirdly transactional. Most people would not ask someone to be a friend as a condition for not being murdered by them.
** LiteralMinded: When Bloodsport and Peacemaker drop the expression ''"eat dicks"'' during a discussion, she genuinely wonders why people would put penises all over the beach, missing that it's a figure of speech.
** She's referred to as being in her early twenties [[note]]The movie is set in 2021 and Peacemaker refers to her as a millenial, so she must be at least 22 years old[[/note]], but looks way younger and acts like a teenager. People on the spectrum are also often OlderThanTheyLook.

* QuestionableCasting:
** The cast was very well received, but many were confused by Pete Davidson's involvement, given he's regarded by most as more of a stand-up comedian than a good actor, and his usual slacker type characters don’t fit into this kind of story at all. [[spoiler:Though the fact that his character is the first to die gives the impression that his presence was intentionally jarring]].
** Michael Rooker as Savant was also considered a baffling choice for fans of the character, since the comic character is young and very conventionally attractive.

** The landing at the beach starts out dramatically, but some of the deaths are so stupid, it makes it hard to watch: Mongal trying, and failing to bring down the Helicopter, Savant randomly freaking out and swimming out to sea, with Waller caring a lot more than she should have[[note]] especially since they were all supposed to die, anyway [[/note]]. Her saying, "Dammit" makes no sense, since he was part of the team that was not meant to survive.
** Bloodsport's fight with his daughter starts out sad... then devolves into them lobbing f-bombs at each other. Especially since Storm Reid is screaming as high as possible while Idris Elba starts teasing it. Also when he calls her out for getting caught stealing something as stupid as a TV-Watch her response is: [[LameComeback "It does other things too!"]]
** Harley's escape is cool. Her meeting up with the team right as they were planning to rescue her is hilarious. But then, Gunn feels the need to drag the scene out with Flagg looking and sounding as embarrassed as possible, while Bloodsport just stands there, with only his mask on. Even cringier still, is that he started the mission with his entire suit EXCEPT for the mask.
** Flagg's death is tragic... but the inside shot showing his pierced heart comes out of nowhere. Almost like Gunn felt the need to emphasize that he was dead, in case people weren't sure.
** The final battle with Starro has the squad facing a bunch of mindless drones. Since they are already dead, the Squad have no reason to feel bad about killing them, but they're so weak, that even six of them can't hold down Bloodsport. They don't try to attack, beyond clumsily grabbing people, and because of the Starfishes around their faces, they can't bite. They're like the definition of crippled zombies.
** The fight against Staro himself has its moments. Bloodsport being an expert marksman who can split a bullet, fires at Starro... and hits everywhere except the [[AttackItsWeakPoint giant Eye]].
** Polka-Dot Man's death is kind of stupid. Not the death itself, but the execution. After wounding Starro with his powers, he gleefully declares himself a superhero... then turns his attention away from the giant, now very angry Starfish to say it to Bloodsport. He's promptly SquashedFlat. It doesn't help that no-one in the squad even tried to warn him.
** For all of Starro's power, he is taken out... by rats. Yes, Harley pierced his eye with the Javelin, but even before that, the rats were causing him pain. For something allegedly so powerful, it's a pretty pathetic way to go out.
