I love your videos how do you keep making such amazing content

Monica and Chandler

Feminism is cancer.

Love your videos! Could you do one on Bring It On? That movie was actually deep and it hardly gets credit for that.

I want to point out a few things. 1. I have watched Harley for a long time an the love part seems to always get misunderstood. The love Harley is suppose to have is suppose to be one sided. The way it comes off as you describe it. Is both sided. As for 5:17 hearing that voice sounds pleasant. Then when you see the movie she sounds like this. 6:33 That deeps voice is what bothered me. I do not like her for the role. An as for the actor who you keep showing as Joker. The problem i had with him is. He hardly smiled and when he did. He had braces. Which the cool factor just dropped off the scale. When people take too many liberties with characters it makes people less likely to enjoy them. This was one of them. Also i hated that she was always out of costume. That clown costume is signature. I do not like the Whore outfit she wares. yes you think its liberating. News flash. Most of us do not like it. We want the original costume. A costume is suppose to make one stand out. Not wearing one. Makes you less important. This includes the Thick lipstick. 7:58 Whoa,whoa, whoa, whoa, Batman the Animated Series was meant for Teens to adults. it was not meant for kids. They just considered it safe for kids. Lets be clear. A kids show is BARNEY. Not Batman.

do you know what show that clip was from?

The best guess I can think of would be Batman the Animated Series,

@@ashlynburns9046 it's the episode mad love

@@ashlynburns9046 😀

Raquel Garcia I think it would’ve been better if she wore something similar to her OG jester costume. That way it’d be showing no skin and still keeping with Harley’s personality cause think about it, if she’s becoming more childish then wouldn’t it make more sense for her to wear the childish Jester costume?

yesss

@@tylerjames805 I don't believe Harley Quinn's classic jester costume would translate well into live action. It would look too cheap and gimmicky. I love the OG body suit but it only really works animated.

Raquel Garcia Thats why I said something similar. I agree that the original full costume would look silly in live action.

@@tylerjames805 Well maybe one day we can see something similar to the OG costume. I liked the outfits in this movie though. 🤷‍♀️

Except your statement implies that men can't write relatable, flawed and likable women. All of the great female characters in pop culture past and present were predominately written by men. Not to mention that in Birds of Prey, every single male character is a rapey misogynist because to female writers, men have to look bad to justify a woman's reaction to them. It's misandry really.

Harley was created by a man

Joshua Watson harley was created and developed as a character through the collaboration of both men and women

@@xengar I'm sure some could. Too bad they barely do it

@@ShelbieMua You call Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Wonder Woman and Xena barely doing it?

Amen 🙌🏼

your comment really hit me haha

Yeah you got that right

That is a fantastic way to nutshell it, thank you.

Happened u too huh

The animated show?

Wait the 2019 show? Idk but I heard it was good

@@ives6622 im currently watching it, it's good but as the og commenter said, her child-like personality is gone. They portray her on the show more crazy

@@ives6622 it's pretty good yeah! but for me it serves as a kind of revisited version of the character, kinda like an elseworlds story, mainly because harley's missing so much of her core characteristics

The animated Harley Quinn show is sooo good?

B_Potassio i kind of want to take my mom to watch it too bc she’s been in toxic relationships

This is so wholesome wow

Y'all can we be friends😭

yes! when i saw Jared letos Joker i inmediatley saw my ex abuser and i almost had to leave the movie, made me tremble to m core. Ive always felt a pull towards the joker- harley story and right there realized why. when i saw birds of prey it made me feel so powerful and validaded, seeing the raw suffering yet poweful outlook harley has reminded me of myself. loved it and love margot robbie for putting that into her character

Box Office says otherwise. No one is seeing this movie.

well he's more old (speaking of creation) than her and have a lot of movies too, so people know him more and for a long time. harley just need a chance and people don't seem to want to give that chance right now, that's bad cause the movie it's perfect.

Joker is an iconic villain, he's always going to be remembered as the bane of batman's existence.

It's just bc men babies can't handle a woman being strong and fearless so they only like Harley when she's half naked being sexy 🙄

@@beasttitanofficial3768 I'm a girl and wasn't really interested in seeing this movie tbh. One thing is because, like I've heard from other comic fans, Barbara Gordon(batgirl), should be the main focus in a Birds of prey movie. She's the one who started the team and she's also a woman. Harley Quinn doesn't have anything to do with this team.

Wow, cool point!

Wow cool informational tidbit.

Well no, it IS for the laughter, Harley had the hyenas (originally) because they were Joker's pets, but they attached to Harley and she loves them so they stayed more with her while Joker didnt care.

Seconded, their analysis of Regina George is what got me hooked to their channel!😻

Same

Why not a male character?

@@misscute580 they do all kinds of characters and shows ya know

@@fire2fireable No, but I meant that why does Vy Nguyen only click when The Take is analysing a female character. Maybe I am wrong, but it seems to be implied that Vy Nguyen only clicks when they are analysing female characters but not male characters.

Mystique Dreamer the comics are conflicted. Some say she slept her way to her doctorate, others say she got her degrees legitimately. Just like how no one seems to be able to agree if she’s a psychologist or psychiatrist.

@Mystique Dreamer Shes still insanely smart she just hates being all button up. She could have slept her way thru college and still earn it properly.

Mystique Dreamer also Dr. Light is a villain. Didn’t know if you realized that since it seems you thought he was a superhero.

@@klausoshaunacey8429 Doctor Light is also a superheroine.

@Mystique Dreamer She also was on her college gymnastics team, dependent upon which version you go for. And I wouldn't say she slept her way through college, per se, as much as she slept her way to better grades than she would've gotten... hard to say what those would've been, as she is actually a pretty decent doctor, insight-wise.

Get you a girl that can do both

Beeech the Bitxh turns out, she says that in the movies

꧁༒planning gaily༒꧂ She actually does say that. She starts off by saying that she needs to graduate, get a PhD, work as a Psychiatrist, break patient out of Asylum, fall in love with said patient and then begin a life of crime. That's what she says in the movie

YES

She dropped a new single like 2 days ago. 'About Love'.

ELECTRA HEART WALKED SO THAT HARLEY QUINN COULD RUN

HaleThePanda that’s what i thought of when i saw that, glad other people thought of it too

It's also something Emilie Autumn did before that. She was doing it at least as early as 2006, but she didn't get as much widespread popularity despite being actually a really talented musician and singer who is really good at evoking emotion.

Glitter punk is the coolest phrase I've ever heard

Lol......(watches movie)

Buddy and lou

@@nicholasmitchum4902 he doesnt die in the movie dude

@@KazzieBB I think he was referencing how he's only in the film for like 2 minutes

Yes! I'm not a gamer nor a comic collector, so was unaware of just how much her character was destroyed until seeing promotional stuff for Suicide Squad and was enraged. *That* was not Harley Quinn! But seeing the trailers etc for her Fabulous Emancipation has me intrigued and hopeful. The fact that she's finally left her abuser is interesting enough on its own.

OMGSTFU I totally agree

I think birds of prey has a lot of similarities to the 90s Harley

ForeverSunny tbh, i feel like harley fans sexualize her more than she’s sexualized in cartoons and movies.

ForeverSunny suicide squad sexualized her character so much that the actor margot robbie has to ask them not to wear sexualizing outits that’s why in birds of prey we dont see so much of her skin. im glad they bring back the childish personality. also in the NEW sucide squal by james has me hype because they brought the original color palette of harley which is black and red

Yes! You get it!!!

Savannah S absolutely. I’d like to give a massive hug to the person who invented hair ties

Still isn't

That's because Ledger's Joker never got to have a Harley Quinn. That would have been electric and worthy of a movie about just them two. Who wouldn't turn from Harlene to Harley for Heath's Joker? He was pure awesome.

@@gypsywoman9140 I don't know how well they would have gone together. That version of the joker kind of needs no backstory. They made a big point of it in the film. Giving him a gorlfriend would have hurt the character. Something between Ledger's and Phoenix would be better. She obviously wouldn't fit into Phoenix's Gotham City, but put a modified version of that character into Nolan's Gotham and have Ledger play him and you'd have a dream setting for Robbie to thrive in that role.

Sam the new 2019 joker movie was a hit so I hope they stick with him and not the suicide squad one

@@peaceyisrael7386 I don't. It was a great movie partly BECAUSE it was a stand alone not connected to the larger DCEU. I don't think they should make another one with that Joker. But they should experiment with other standalone stories based on DC without trying to build the EU that they've failed at so miserably. They aren't Marvel, they should stop trying to be Marvel. Their characters are more interesting. Their stories are not. Explore the characters.

Go back and watch the award winning 90s-00s animated series for the original iteration of Harlely and arguably the best. She's always been a complex character, even when they began to sexualize her appearance more over the past decade.

Interesting take? Thats who she is, its not a fan fiction or something

Soirema you can’t blame them, their first discovery of her might be from Suicide Squad

I agree. She comes off as a male fantasy, in my opinion. He can treat her as badly as he wants and she still sticks around. The relationship between her and joker is an abusive one. I'm glad they are, hopefully, taking her character more seriously and moving beyond her childish demeanor. Which honestly, again my own opinion, I find creepy that her acting so much like a child is sexualize. Reminds me of Lolita. The hypersexualization of childish behavior.

@@saraheerie Yeah, but at least in the animated series she actually got her own licks in on the Joker when he went too far... like almost shooting him (and would have, if the gun weren't a prop gun that had "rat-tat-tat" come out on little signs). I hate when people look at her and only see a helpless victim, when there were times that Joker was legitimately scared of what she was capable of, too. Which is why I love in the original Suicide Squad where Waller says she's crazier than he is.

Harley did become a mother. She left Joker and hid her pregnancy in fear that he would kill the baby. She later left the baby in the care of her sister and visits when she can. She supports Black Canary with her pregnancy after Ollie dies.

@Glenna Smith It doesn't--at all--but jeepers in my professional career I've seen motherhood talked about with such derision by professional women I had to do an internal double take

@@cc4670 Oh wow, did not know that! I'm not up with canon Harley in the comics tho but that is super interesting to learn!!!

Glenna Smith it doesn’t but modern feminism has created this idea within us that we should want so much more than that. It’s almost as if you can’t be a feminist if you want to be a mother and a wife, it’s really sad it’s gotten to this point

@@kay-leighlewis9322 It's an endless source of frustration to me, especially because the level of hypocrisy is unreal. These women say they are "for all women" and yet they deride when a woman makes a decision that she wants to be a homemaker etc. WAT?? They aren't for all women then?! Something's gone very wrong here

Yes! This is the best thing that came out the DC Black Level so far, and the author did wonders to her characterization. It's nice to see that people (including this chanel) are recognizing Harley's complexity.

Just as a correction, it's titled Harleen, not Harley, and the author/artist is Stjepan Sejic.

But I can't read comics or else I'm a "cool girl trope"

InstantSilence -Just corrected it. Thanks!

YES. I have the first comic and I absolutely love it

In the movie they acknowledge that Harley is bi so horray!!!

Exactly ahahahaha

It definitely does!!!!

It was really good!

its so so good!!

It was amazing. Highly recommend.

It doesn't. They completely ignore the abusive relationship other than stating the Joker didn't love her.

I'm gonna miss Todd.

Wait, what!?

i find it amazing how different they can be while so fascinating

Azula is a lawful evil Harley Quinn is chaotic evil I like diversity in my female villain they both great and adorable.

@@jackyoh971 Harley's actually Chaotic Neutral, properly played. She has moments where she chooses to do the right thing, and times when it's just, "Let's blow this place up."

Ikr👌 but Harley takes a strong second

Yesssss

It's the best thing ever

Pixel Smile okay? and even if it is venture brothers is a good ass show too.

Do you know When will it be available for DVD and International Netflix?

And I'm so sad that it got over. :(

@@pondering-princess There's a third season coming.

Agreed. Honestly, the way she originally was, short of "showing the Joker," or being stuck in a life of crime, I think without the Joker, she'd probably, realistically, just try to get her life back together, like she did in the one episode where she was pronounced "sane." She was literally only into crime because the Joker is.

Yes, i am not a fan of the "insane" thing. Like if no one could do bad things because other thing that insanity. Of course when you go big with the villains (doing genocide for example) is not like is a normal person, but you don't have to go writing that he was "expose to the edge of the time and space" or something like that. Thanos for example was "not insane", he obviously suffered trauma and we could talk for hours about "God complex" or things like that, but the movie didn't did of that a whole thing. The same goes for the good ones and the Asperger thing, there's not detectives that work hard or are reasonable intelligent anymore; all is "he is a genius, finish the university at age 10".

My problem is that they're trying to make Harley an Alpha when she's not and never has been. Harley is a groupie, she likes attaching herself to more assertive people like Joker, Poison Ivy, and even Batman.

@@xengar Good point

@@xengar Well isn't getting rid of her 'groupie-ness' the plot of the movie? She's gonna from being Joker's groupie to being her own person. Otherwise what's the point of Birds of Prey?

TheLeah2344 you do realise Harley doesn’t love him? It’s more of an obsession, Harley Quinn has Stockholm syndrome, and she is abused. If you relate to any of this, you would get help, likeee lol

We've all been there...

Erin Brown cat women’s not in it

@@madelynbisset1962 Oh my bad.

But it would be super cool to see Cat Woman on the silver screen again

Did you like it??

catdog valid but god tier harley quinn is the one who moves on

In actually really love the new animated show. King Shark is delightful.

And I love just how casual the prospect of superheroes and super villains are in this world. Like, I love that the Joker and Bain are just attending co-workers kids Bar-Mitzvahs and it's not even that big a deal or that Harley and Ivy jus thang out on the couch and watch the Today Show. It's probably the closest thing to my Mindy Kaling She-Hulk show I want but will never get.

That's the thing with codependent relationships, people just don't want to leave, even if it get bad.

Exactly. Captain Marvel still struggles for a while but Rey is shown as this perfect person. Things just happen for her without struggling. Filmmakers need to understand that "a strong woman" is not the same as "a flawless woman".

Preach!!

And mera

CAMARA MAN I feel like it shows that Harley will always choose joker when push comes to shove she’ll choose joker bc she can’t deny that she loves him and will always have a connection with him and maybe if she gives that up she gives up everything she is “she serves” and she’s grown so close to that title that she doesn’t know what to do without it

It's genius and funny af

SDJJFKFFJJFFJ TRUE

i really loved margot but thinking there is no more actreses who could portray Harley is stupid, again I LOVE MARGOT

It flop so stop acting like you don't

@@iskindersam4899 Wtf do you mean?

Ron Funches portrayal turned one of the most savage and brutal characters in DC into a cinnamon roll. And I'm ok with that.

ShannenMakesVideos Margot was legit made for this role. So good.

Stephane Généus the 2019 Harley Quinn animated series sucks

do it!! its amazing :D

I liked him better than Heath Ledger's... actually. At least he looked a little narcisstistic... though I hated the facial tats... I don't think Joker would've done that to himself... body tats? Sure... but not facial ones.

We already do that.

@@ChaoticButterfly deluded joker Leto d!&krider alert!🚔🚔🚔🚔🚔🚔

@@l3k446 Hardly. If I ride ANYONE'S dick, it's Joker, himself. I know the Joker well enough that I realize he wouldn't let himself look shabby. Hell, he had stated as much in his canonical appearances. Salvation Run is one such example. I simply thought a grungy, ill-fitting suit and greasy hair was less Joker than the updated gangster that Leto played. Hell, I could picture him easily, in that scene from Crisis where Lex tells Alexander Luthor that his biggest mistake was not letting the Joker play.

Unpopular opinion I love Leto's Joker. He was unhinged and intense. I thought his Harley had great chemistry Tbh. Don't hate me

One of my favourite line from her

@@fire2fireable It's possible to have psychological therapy without psychiatric medication. However some meds really help people function (there are always exceptions of course). Don't be so dismissive.

@@DrT0705 The ironic bit is I am in fact a student of psychology just poking fun; I do hate the system it is mediated in though because it pretty much created the opioid epidemic.

currently she actually is, her comics sells a lot even though the stories are silly and meant to be like that

@@jeanbutinfrench I remember liking some of Connor's run in the new 52. I think I stopped reading her newer things though. Iunno, it was just too much and no arcs were super memorable. Remember when she had Black Book, Gang of Harleys, and starred in SS? Harley overload lol

@@Chandasouk thats what happens when a character get popular haha, overload is the constant state of batman, I think people like her comics when they are silly and disconnected, because universe following all the time gets tiring

Loved the 2000's title. I hate how DC tried turning her into the answer for Deadpool. -.-

@@ChaoticButterfly me too. She was suddenly fourth wall breaking. I admit that Red Tool was such a silly Deadpool parody that made me chuckle though lol

you're safe

Nothing from the movie to spoil in the first place

That one ‘quirky’ nerd Captain marvel sucks, she’s not a “clear cut role model”

she is meant to be flawless in every way and better than every man in her field. This is also represented in the fact that they use the feminist agenda as the main selling point when advertising the movie. She is meant to be the preferred female role model strong, brave, and no emotional depth or vulnerability to hold her back.

@@yazminrobinson1184 you are contradicting yourself and not even realizing why.

Digging Truth? I’m not contradicting myself, there’s just nothing more to her personality other than she powerful and female which is what most people care about and not whether she is well written or poorly written.

@@thatonequirkynerd2794 I don't know if that's a good thing

OH. MY. GOD... RIGHT!? THAT is probably the BIGGEST bloody joke of the damned movie. The girl was a speechless assassin who could read body language so well that EVERYTHING a person did was telegraphed, and she kicked serious ass, with no problem killing, initially. I HATE that about the movie.

@@ChaoticButterfly Why? She hasn't undergone any special training at this point. They can set her up to be a trained badass in a later film, this is basically just how she got mixed up in this mess. Its not a bad idea and characters get different origins all the time.

Pfft, I liked Harley Quinn before 2016, before 2011 (fuck the New 52), before 2000, when she got her first solo series, and from the very first episode, and then her first appearance in the comics. T-T I cling to that bit about Joker actually potentially developing the hint of feelings for her, only to try to kill her, because he doesn't like feeling that way.

yes!! the new movie us amazing :)
