The Lord of the Rings x Suicide Squad
Most of my picks this round were a little silly and a whole lot seemingly-improbable. This one, however, is perhaps the most of each category. When the J.R.R. Tolkien-adapted classic is blended with one of this summer’s most anticipated anti-hero films, you get something that isn’t traditionally “cool” per se, but is utterly incredible in the realm of geekdom. The rad battle scenes are made next-level with Queen’s most beloved song and the cheeky humor that already exists in LoTR pairs perfectly with the punchy trailer backtrack. For my part, I know I’d be among the first to catch Ring Squad on opening night.
