There would be debates about Gunn taking over the reins of the franchise from the oft-maligned David Ayer. Some fans wondered if this signaled yet another new direction for the franchise. With a cast this stacked and an ensemble of some of DC\u2019s weirdest and dearest side characters, it seems as though <strong><i>The Suicide Squad<\/i><\/strong>, as this new movie is so creatively titled, could bring a much-needed dose of bonkers to DC\u2019s big screen ventures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">And then, of course, there\u2019s <strong>King Shark<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Voiced by <strong>Sylvester Stallone<\/strong> and portrayed via motion-capture by <strong>Steve Agee<\/strong>, this movie signals the debut cinematic <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>earance of Nanaue, the humanoid shark with a high body count to his name and a semi-regular membership with the Squad. It should surprise literally nobody that it took about five seconds after the announcement of his appearance in <em>The Suicide Squad<\/em> for the internet to start thirsting hard after King Shark.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-690318 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/King-Shark-The-Flash-700x392.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/King-Shark-The-Flash.jpg 700w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/King-Shark-The-Flash-360x202.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"King_Shark_is_Hot_and_Everyone_Knows_It\"><\/span>King Shark is Hot, and Everyone Knows It<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">As seen in the first trailer for <i>The Suicide Squad<\/i>, King Shark is halfway between a maniacal monster from the deepest recesses of the ocean and a himbo darling who literally says \u201cnom nom\u201d after eating a man whole. He\u2019s got big hands and rage issues but remains oddly endearing all the same. He\u2019s even got a dadbod thanks to Gunn (he didn\u2019t think it made much sense for his talking man-shark in golf shorts to \u201chave such mammalian body structure\u201d), which only made people fancy him even more. If you were surprised that King Shark commanded such a gargantuan amount of thirst, then you must be new to the internet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Let\u2019s not beat around the coral reef here: King Shark has always had it going on and DC knows it. Practically every iteration of him, from comics to cartoons to TV, is depicted as having a great body, and it\u2019s not like they can justify that sort of muscle definition by claiming it\u2019s in some way accurate to shark biology. Moreover, he\u2019s a great character for stories of the tragic pull between good and bad that DC is so excellent at. In the live-action Arrowverse <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> of <i>The Flash<\/i>, King Shark is Shay Lamden, a marine biologist from Earth-2 who was transformed into his anthropomorphic form by the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator, which has left him tormented by his newly inhuman nature. He even has a romantic subplot with his marine biologist wife Tanya, who works to help him cling to his humanity, even after he makes the ultimate sacrifice to stay as King Shark when called upon to fight for the safety of Central City. It\u2019s classic Beauty and the Beast stuff, but wetter. Ahem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Hell, in the animated film <i>Justice League Dark: Apokolips War<\/i>, it\u2019s revealed that King Shark is the ex-boyfriend of John Constantine, one of the DC universe\u2019s undisputed sex gods. He\u2019s such a magnetic sexual presence that just being back in a room with him has Constantine blushing and trying to avert his gaze.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The idea of being sexually attracted to a shark is one so ludicrous that it became the central focus of a <i>Friends<\/i> episode, wherein Monica became convinced that Chandler liked to unwind to videos of shark attacks (really, he was just watching good old-fashioned porn and mistakes were made.) In the realm of sexy monsters, which the comic book genre knows a thing or two about, sharks aren\u2019t the easiest creatures to sexualize, even if they\u2019ve got abs for days and forearm definition that would make Henry Cavill\u2019s trainer lose a few nights\u2019 sleep.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-690320 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/King-Shark-Harley-Quinn-700x392.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/King-Shark-Harley-Quinn.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/King-Shark-Harley-Quinn-360x202.jpeg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turning_to_the_Beasts\"><\/span>Turning to the Beasts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Of course, such monster crushes aren\u2019t intended to be exclusively literal. The fact that King Shark is, well, a shark matters about as much as the Beast being lion-esque or every creature in a Guillermo del Toro movie being what they are. The sexualizing of the monstrous is a key way that many, especially women, have found a safe space to explore societally discouraged aspects of desire. The notion of female-focused sensuality is one that remains shockingly sneered at or outright denied by many facets of society. Consider how Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion singing a reasonably explicit song about sex inspired a deluge of horror and clutched pearls from the usual suspects, or how romance novels are dismissed as trash by literary experts. There is still something about the idea of women openly discussing what makes them tick, even in 2021, that is deemed utterly unacceptable to the masses. It\u2019s hardly a shock, then, that we\u2019ve turned to the beasts. If it\u2019s been written off as monstrous already, why not lean in hard to that aspect?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It\u2019s a trend that has literally centuries of context to its name. Greek mythology was built on the image of the wrathful and endlessly horny god Zeus taking various animal forms to force himself onto women. The Renaissance era saw the rise of the artistic motif of Death and the Maiden, wherein a beautiful young woman often found herself in the explicitly eroticized clutches of Death\u2019s skeletal hands. There are countless historical and cultural variations on the fairy-tale of <i>Beauty and the Beast<\/i>, a story that often stood as an allegory for young women in arranged marriages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">And this doesn\u2019t even scratch the surface of the trend. By the time we get to the birth of Hollywood and Universal\u2019s monster movies helping to birth a new era of horror, we saw a whole generation of audiences trained to view the beasts, the vampires, and the gill-men as figures of empathy and allure. Not everyone can relate to the suave perfect hero, but the tortured monster who represents a hunger for the darker side of life appeals to more people than you\u2019d think. Of course King Shark fits into that mold perfectly, whether he\u2019s the sweetheart version of <i>Harley Quinn<\/i> or the tempestuous husband who yearns for his humanity in <i>The Flash<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p><!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post --><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-690322 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/King-Shark-1-700x392.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/King-Shark-1.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/King-Shark-1-360x202.jpeg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Im_Just_a_Girl_Standing_in_Front_of_a_Shark-Man%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>I\u2019m Just a Girl, Standing in Front of a Shark-Man\u2026<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">It\u2019s not just about desire, however, when it comes to our friend, King Shark. His own unique physicality brings with it a much-needed sort of freshness to the over-saturated field of heroes and villains. The modern era of superhero masculinity is one defined by narrow constraints. We\u2019re used to seeing a bunch of white guys who all look the same (and are probably all named Chris) use the same trainers, get near-identical bodies, and use them in the most trope-heavy ways. It\u2019s not a physique that makes a lot of sense from a purely strength-based position \u2013 there\u2019s a reason that professional strongmen, for instance, are bulky and devoid of washboard abs \u2013 but it\u2019s one that feels aesthetically right. Deviate from that and a lot of people suddenly start complaining. Look at how some fans seemed genuinely outraged when Robert Pattinson joked about not wanting to work out to play Batman. It\u2019s become increasingly rare to see men who are allowed to be heroes and look reasonably normal, or at the very least, free to not dehydrate themselves for days on end to achieve peak muscular definition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">That\u2019s not the only reason it\u2019s so exciting to see a sweetie-pie dadbod shark in shorts, but it certainly doesn\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A big hook with <i>The Suicide Squad<\/i> is that they\u2019re an unruly bunch of sociopaths who fire bazookas at the idea of goodness and decency. They don\u2019t play by any sort of rules and live in a world of no-holds-barred chaos. In that context, it shouldn\u2019t be surprising in the least that we have an adorable maniac King Shark who\u2019s inspiring his fair share of fandom devotion. That\u2019s probably the most wholesome part of the entire Suicide Squad! Perhaps if things go well for the movie, James Gunn will let Constantine appear for another date with his big lug of an ex. It\u2019d probably be the most normal thing in the franchise.<\/p>\n<p>                            <strong>Cool Posts From Around the Web:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>                            <!-- \/post -->\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
