Here's a quick recap of what's happened since Suicide Squad came out five days ago: Method actor Jared Leto gives out gifts to help (?) his method acting (opens in new tab). Suicide Squad gets bad reviews (opens in new tab). Fans are pissed at the bad reviews (opens in new tab) and that Method Actor Jared Leto is hardly in the film. Method Actor Jared Leto has more screen time as the Joker in a garbage Rick Ross video (opens in new tab) than in Suicide Squad. Method Actor Jared Leto thinks his cut Suicide Squad scenes deserve their own movie (opens in new tab).

But what happened to all those scenes of Method Actor Jared Leto's method acting? According to Leto, they were just TOO good for the movie. Which totally makes sense if you're Method Actor Jared Leto. But Margot Robbie, whose performance as Harley Quinn was one of the few redeeming qualities of Suicide Squad, has a more logical theory.

Yeah, you know, storytelling and what not?
