He does? This is the guy made Watchmen sexy and violent for no real reason other than that's what he wants superheroes to be. I'd say the real difference (other than Gunn actually knowing how to write and direct) is that Snyder puts a dour artsy spin on his exploitation. And as of recently really bad, out of focus zoom-ins.
Welp, all my motivation to watch the Harley show when out the window.
A growing fan base will do that to a character that has been an ensemble darkhorse for two decades. There are a many a girls/women that love Harley too. I know Harley got an even bigger fan-base. especially from the teenage girls, because of Robbie's portrayal in SS1 (2016).
I think there's enough in the show to make it worth watching. But I'd wait till season 3 to see how they sort that shit out. I personally really enjoyed Kite Man and Ivy's dynamic so when they just threw it away I was pretty annoyed.
People can like what they want, but I was pretty annoyed that Harley's popularity means other characters like the Birds of Prey don't get their time to shine. Why the directors/writers felt the need to plaster Cassandra Cain's name on a throwaway character is beyond me. I'd take an Oracle movie over another Harley Quinn romp any day.
I can't argue with you there and see where you're coming. Though all the ladies in the film gets time to shine, Cain was a complete waste and should been called anything else. I would not mind a solo Huntress movie or Black Canary movie. The respective actresses for each character definitely got it.
I don't hate ET, but I find this one of the funniest hot takes ever made. I've always been indifferent towards the movie after the age 9. I would watch plenty of over it. Especially The Thing (1982).
I don't think Harley gets Ivy to cheat, it's pretty much a mutual cheating. When they first kiss it's a 'heat of the moment' sort of thing, and afterwards there's zero attempt from Harley to try and sabotage Ivy and Kiteman's relationship. Even after they jump into the sack together and Harley asks her if this could work, Ivy says no and Harley doesn't pursue it. They even give Kiteman the final word going 'screw this, I deserve better'.
Also, Ewan McGregor couldn't play an intimidating or hateable villian to safe his life. Sorry dude, you're just too sweet and charming.
It's implied to take place in the same universe as The Transporter. It might as well take place in the same universe as Heat too. Heat starts at the train station and ends at the airport. Collateral starts at the airport and ends at the train station.
One of the best shootouts in film history. I saw this movie when I was 15 at the Star Theater.
Well there is a not-insignificant subset of the fanbase, especially women, who often like characters like Harley, simply because "she's a *****." I've actually heard this, when I've asked women over the years why they liked a particularly rude/violent/abrasive female character. The answer I often get is "she's a *****." Nothing further, that's it. I think it's because that personality type, is the one most often used, and allowed, at least when referring to female characters, to speak their minds, and say things that will often piss off guys. An outlet for female frustration, if you will. People expect Harley, and others like her, to call out the asshole guy in public for being an asshole, and they don't get shut down by society as being rude or whatever. For a group thats been conditioned for generations, to be polite, be nice, don't speak out as that's unladylike, etc, even if it's a justified speaking out, these characters are of then the exception to that rule, so they become a huge draw, and have a huge appeal.
Similar reason why there are many women that love the characters Panty and Stocking. They're characters that bring out your inner biatch, even if you're a guy.
Yeah, in the HQ movie, they have that scene where's she's shooting giant "Rubber Bullets" at cops in the police station and it feels like a way to get away with shooting up the police station without getting your movie boycotted because "Well, no one died!". Except it looks really stupid considering she has to reload each round before firing again, "Rubber Bullets" can put you in the hospital, and there's no reason Harley cares about sparing the lives of cops considering her history or personality. This is basically "Family Friendly Massacre".
I only know Claire, but only from reputation. Never really played the RE series, just watched someone else play RE 2 back in the day. They are still very rare, especially in western media, in particular in big ticket action stories. If they're in it at all, and it's not just a sausage fest, they will likely be a grade A bitc*. That's one reason I liked Cora in ME: Andromeda. She was more than capable of standing up for herself if someone challenged her. But she didn't have to resort to being a ******, constantly aggressive and confrontational to everyone around her.
