Deadpool posted:Because Harley is a hard character to make work.There's a very fine line with that character and I think very few people have ever been able to get anything good out of her. The only time the character has really clicked well I think was in the original Batman cartoon she came from. I would agree with this. Add to it the fact that BtAS was a children's cartoon, though with a lot of mature elements, which let them keep things light overall. Arrow is a show that leans heavy on dark and melodramatic.

People tend to focus on either the sexualization or the goofy comedy while completely ignoring the pathos that's so vital to her character.

I have trouble even imagining a live-action Harley Quinn who sells the idea without feeling like a Sin City character. Having seen Chappie this weekend, I can pretty much only picture her as Yolandi from Die Antwoord at the moment.

Harley in the comics now is basically Deadpool from that really horrible period a few years back when he had like 5 on-goings.

Yeah, 'cause they remember to make her a pitiable character from time to time. Also, the running gag with the moustache is pretty funny.

I support having Felicity get together with every character on the show other than Oliver in order to mess with shippers.

I thought her character was pretty good in the Batman: Assault on Arkham movie, she stood alone well for most of it. However the Joker was a major plot point so I guess there's that.

Aphrodite posted:Harley in the comics now is basically Deadpool from that really horrible period a few years back when he had like 5 on-goings. There are lots of good ways to do Harley. That ongoing is not really one of them. I haven't read enough of her in Suicide Squad to see if she's also written poorly in that one (though I think she is)

Ollie should just get with Cupid. Once she gets what she wants she'll stop being crazy, surely. She certainly wouldn't kill anyone she thought might get between them.

Given Oliver tends to choose sexual partners based on who is likely the worst possible idea at a given time, I wouldn't rule out him sleeping with Cupid at some point out.

Sara and Ollie's relationship would have never lasted. They were too different. He a PTSD suffering vigilante, her a department store mannequin.

The casting calls suggest it's an ensemble, so likely a team. Probably with Dr Stein as the homebase mentor.

I'm currently binge watching this show on Netflix, and will catch up on this thread as I progress through season 3. Right now, I just finished the episode with Nyssa Al Ghul, and I just feel I should say...man, Laurel is just becoming annoying as hell. I hope her arc gets better, cause drat, I just don't care what happens to her at all right now.
