I am reminded of Joker and Harley's first breakup in the comics. Were Joker tried to launch her into the sky in a rocket, under the grounds he felt he was starting to feel stuff like empathy for another person, and he hated it, so he decided he would blow her up. She managed to escape and survive, and later came back for revenge on Joker. When she cornered him, he just said "Would it help if I said I was sorry" and she pretty much instantly forgave him and joined up with him again. (Note he did not actually apologize.)

New episode is good. Frank is an absolute homie and I hope we will see him becoming a plant of mass destruction in the next one. Oh and continues to be one of the best characters in this show.

The 'acrobatic number from Harley's youth' callback execution thing was very forced and should not have made it into the final cut of the episode, because otherwise wow, this series keeps genuinely surprising me. I did NOT expect the showrunners to make her family THIS hosed up instead of the regular expected 'completely unlikable, but we can't have the offspring actually react to them as such and will play it for laughs instead, because family values in television'. That's pretty daring for a work of Western animation, even nowadays. I cannot repeat it often enough: I do not like superhero stuff, but I really like this show.

Looking at IMDB, Harley Quinn has no sole showrunner. It's directed, produced, and written by multiple people across different episodes. On the one hand, this makes me sad because I can't point to one auteur making an amazing television show so I can follow them to whatever they used to do or whatever they're doing next but on the other hand, I'm floored by the talent being put on display here. I loving love this show and I hope it manages to go for many, many seasons. I don't really care about comic book stuff in general (I'm a Watchmen/Transmetropolitan fan and that's about it) but I've watched more Marvel than DC stuff and this show really makes me wonder what a Marvel version would look like. I supposed it would basically be a Deadpool show starring Ryan Reynolds, right? Dude should take some of his Mobile/Vodka investment and try to get an adult cartoon show for Disney+.

They're doing a M.O.D.O.K tv show that if they do it how it should be done then it'd be something like this (in terms of it being about a comedy show about a villain trying to be move up and stuff, not the relationship aspects). There's a bunch of weird cartoons that Marvel has on the slate, Hit Monkey, Dazzler and Howard the Duck as well. thebardyspoon fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Feb 2, 2020 |

Megazver posted:Judging by the interviews, it's run by Edit: OOF they have matching Producer credits history on IMDB with "poo poo My Dad Says" as their longest running show at 18 episodes. Harley Quinn's supposed to have 13 this season so if they can get a renewal, it will likely end up being their longest running show to date. Which is why I'm really not sure if those 2 are the ones "responsible" for how good this show is. Edit 2: I means seriously, check this out:   A lot of people, it's hard to know where the talent is. Jennifer Coyle's got the most episode credits among the crew and her only other credits are a Scooby Doo TV Movie and DC Super Hero Girls. I'm kinda hoping she's the secret sauce breakout talent here. DaveKap fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Feb 2, 2020 |

DaveKap posted:They were very kind in giving credit to Dean Lorey, who gets co-credited at the end of the episodes and has the same # of episodes executive produced (4) that Halpern and Schumaker get. I've followed Jess Dweck on Twitter a while and she's pretty funny. Somehow I didn't realize she was a writer (I just thought she was a Twitter Person), so it was weird seeing her name pop up in the credits. Has it been established before that Harley was a teen competitive gymnast or that her dad is a low level Jewish gangster? Because both of those make sense in retrospect.

You know most of this is because people can't be bothered updating imdb properly, right? Paul Dini should be credited for every episode, but he's not. I'm not saying you're wrong, but you've not got access to the total information here.

Yeah, iirc she got into medical school on a gymnastics scholarship. It's quite a handy backstory for a character who's both athletic and intelligent, they do something similar for Batman and Robin's Mr Freeze. And yeah, I'm not the only one seeing Harley's parents and immediately going 'THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH'.

That's pretty daring for a work of Western animation, even nowadays. I dunno if that's even a hard and fast rule these days- a LOT of shows even children's cartoons have a lesson of 'lovely parents aren't going to change, what matters is the family and friends that actually demonstrably care about you'. Gravity Falls comes to mind with Soos finally giving up on his dad ever coming home for his birthday. 'Family values' groups don't really have any power anymore, and most have dropped the pretence and are just full on pro-bigotry. ed: Also just realised, Harley's dad is wearing her colour scheme, but inverted.

TVtropes of all places brings up that Harley's parents are basically takes on Peg and Al Bundy. With some realistic consequences; one child likely committed suicide in his teens while another became a famously mentally unbalanced supervillain. Feels like there's some feminist but also general themes with them; Harley realising how unhealthy her upbringing was, being expected to sacrifice her own accomplishments for her parents no matter how well she did and realising that theme continues into adulthood; she's considered a prop for their status and success, which they're willing to sacrifice her life for in the end, because she doesn't fit what they expect of her as their daughter. (and they're not particularly concerned about their parents either) In short it's a summarisation of what it's like to have Boomer parents.

I genuinely don't know but I mean it's no coincidence they look identical from this picture.

To be honest, it didn't sound like she was ever even deluded about that. Weirdly enough she seemed to be really ratio so about the merits and shortcomings of her dad. She took the fall, but not because he manipulated her into thinking it's best for he's or that it would be an act of love. She's kinda decent at heart and didn't want to let her rear end in a top hat dad be tortured by the mob. She didn't return home in the hope that she might rekindle familiar love with her dad and was absolutely appaled when he was there. I guess the Joker was just way better at gaslighting than that scumbag.
