Watch the opening sequence of Suicide Squad XXX . It is shot in a warehouse. But Braun uses colored gels—purples, deep reds, and that specific greasy green—to replicate the industrial grunge of Midway City. The props are custom made. The "June Moone" transformation into Enchantress actually uses practical eye effects.

But... if you are a fan of the characters; if you enjoy the meta-humor of watching high-production-value adult actors try to out-act Will Smith; if you want to see a version of Suicide Squad where the runtime is 90 minutes and the pacing is actually coherent—then yes, the Axel Braun parody is worth a look (and a laugh).

Braun writes dialogue that sounds like what the actors would say if they weren't in a PG-13 movie. Harley and Deadshot have a debate about whether killing is "therapy or sport." The Joker isn't just a pimp; he's a manipulative gaslighter. The parody actually leans into the toxicity of the Harley/Joker relationship in a way the 2016 film romanticized.

It’s trashy. It’s glorious. And unlike the theatrical cut of Suicide Squad , it never pretends to be anything other than what it is: a neon-lit, foul-mouthed, surprisingly respectful love letter to the losers of the DC universe.

Today, we’re diving deep into the neon-drenched, bubble-gum stained, surprisingly lore-accurate world of the Suicide Squad Axel Braun parody. Most adult parodies from the 2010s had a simple formula: put a wig on an actor, make a pun involving a sex position, and cut to the chase. Braun, however, has always been different. He famously spends real money on sets, costumes, and character actors who actually look like the source material.

Braun understands that comedy (and arousal) lives in specificity. When Harley smashes a glass case to steal a diamond, the sound design is punchy. When Deadshot lines up a shot, the crosshairs are overlaid on screen.

But while the critics were arguing about Enchantress’s choreography, a different kind of director was looking at that iconic baseball bat and thinking, "I can fix her... in 4K."
