Should I Watch Birds Of Prey Before The Suicide Squad

So, You're Diving into DC? Smart Move!

Confused about the order? Feeling overwhelmed by the Suicide Squad universe? Don't worry, it happens to the best of us.

The question looms: Should you watch Birds of Prey before The Suicide Squad? Let's get into it.

The "Correct" Order… Is It Really?

Technically, Suicide Squad (the first one) comes before both. But let's be real. We're ignoring that one for now.

Most people will tell you to watch Birds of Prey after the first Suicide Squad. Seems logical, right?

Well, prepare for a mildly controversial take. I say: nah.

Here's My Wild Suggestion: Birds of Prey FIRST!

Yes, you read that correctly. Watch Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) before diving into The Suicide Squad. Gasp!

Why? Because it's honestly more fun this way. Hear me out.

Reason 1: Harley Quinn's Glow-Up

In Birds of Prey, Harley's figuring things out. She's newly single. She's blowing things up.

You get to see her find herself after the Joker breakup. It's a journey!

Then, in The Suicide Squad, she’s already a chaotic force of nature. More confident, arguably even crazier.

Reason 2: It's Just a Better Introduction

Birds of Prey is contained. It's got a smaller scale. Think of it as Harley Quinn 101.

The Suicide Squad is...a lot. Characters exploding. Starfish aliens. It's sensory overload!

Birds of Prey eases you into the madness. It’s a good training ground before you face the big leagues.

Reason 3: Because I Said So (Just Kidding...Mostly)

Okay, maybe I'm a little biased. I just genuinely enjoyed Birds of Prey more.

It's got style, sass, and a killer soundtrack. What's not to love?

Plus, seeing Harley bond with other women? Amazing. It’s empowering and refreshing.

What About Continuity?

Okay, fine, there might be minor continuity things. But honestly? It's the DC universe. Don't think about it too hard.

Just enjoy the ride. Trust me, you won't be scratching your head in confusion. Probably.

Besides, are these movies really aiming for airtight continuity? We’re here for entertainment!

The Bottom Line (My Unpopular Opinion)

Forget what everyone else says. Give Birds of Prey a shot first.

Think of it as dessert before dinner. A fizzy, sugar-fueled explosion of fun before the more "serious" superhero stuff.

Worst case scenario? You watch two awesome, slightly unhinged movies. Not a bad problem to have, right?

So grab some popcorn, settle in, and embrace the chaos. Start with Birds of Prey, and thank me later.

Just remember, this is all just one person’s opinion (mine!). Watch them in whatever order makes you happy. But seriously, Birds of Prey first. You know you want to.
