Making her unhinged from the beginning is a massive upgrade to her character. Putting her insanity all on the Joker removes all agency from Harley and reduces her to nothing but a victim.

2023-09-25 23:44:29 +0000 UTCHarley deciding her own origin story is perfectly on brand for her. Evil lair acquired. This squad is coming together. If the whole concept of superhero bureaucracy tickles you, I might recommend The Venture Bros. 7 seasons and a movie. The whole Venture-verse has the situational premise that you can't just arch anyone without filling out the proper forms, be aligned with the proper guilds, matched up with your adversary to make it a fair fight, etc. etc. Lots of trope mocking, characters who are obvious knock-offs of popular comic heroes and cartoon characters, and just a hilariously dark sense of humor with pop-culture references sprinkled in. The growth of some of the characters is incredible as well. Fun show, stellar world building and lore weaving, the plot is absolutely captivating and the comedy is excellent. One of the few shows where I'd say it consistently got better as the show went on. BUT... The show started in 2003, and was part of the [adult swim] animation block, so the language in the early seasons (1-3) is a little... rough. Pejorative use of gay, homo, and queer. And there's a female villain with a deep voice who's frequently the subject of transphobic remarks, until season 3 when the reason for her voice is revealed. And they still use the R slur beyond that. I think the last use is season 4. So yeah... it really is an amazing show, but the culture it originated in was toxic.

2023-09-25 23:17:26 +0000 UTCIt was so satisfying seeing Harley face her past, (and beat the crap out of past Joker,) take control, and realise what makes her Harley, is what she decides. Her origin starts when she decides. Also, I agree, those child Harleens were terrifying. I think what it is is that little girls are normally a symbol of innocence, so when they're made scary, it's automatically amplified in our minds.

2023-09-25 18:42:37 +0000 UTCThere's always a 'inside their head' episode because writers love writing about what makes their characters tick, but in a visual medium you have to show SOMETHING. The most direct way to show what's in their heads is to just... DO it. If the world is wacky enough to support a literal trip into the mind, it's really hard to resist.

2023-09-25 18:28:33 +0000 UTCBeing Harley Quinn. Understanding Willow. Iβm sensing a naming theme here.

2023-09-25 18:26:48 +0000 UTCya Harley is not the sort to think things through. This will not change, but if it did Ivy would not get to be the sassy "I told you so" gem she is.

2023-09-25 18:18:36 +0000 UTCI get watching the first season and even a bit of season 2 how harley can be a bit overwhelming and frustrating but I've loved her from the start. She's one of those characters I've known pretty much my entire life. She helped me through discovering and accepting my own sexuality but also helped me overcome relationships similar to hers and jokers. This episode is one of my favourites of the whole show because of how much I love harley. They explore her character and her actions as an individual here a lot more than most of her comics do. It's also really cool that they include a couple pictures of her and ivy in her memories, subtlely hinting at their bond and the importance ivy has in harleys life. As much as I enjoy the rest of this season I'm just extremely hyped for when you get to season 2!

2023-09-25 18:09:15 +0000 UTCAnother banger episode. Yeah the little kids are some of the creepiest things in this show, great for up coming spooky season. Yeah could you imagine be a sassy red head giving good advice and then watching your gal friend just act on impulsive thoughts? It was nice to have Harley face off against her own past and come out stronger. I know itβs disappointing how Joker is still a big part of her brain but abusive relationships can really be like that. Now if only she could find a partner who is much better for herβ¦ if only.
