Joshua Kern said:The idea that Harley Quinn even struggles with issues regarding violence or morality isn't really supported by anything we've seen in either of the two films. It isn't that she has a problem with violence; it's that she genuinely enjoys it, and as for morality? She doesn't have any to begin with.
Well, it depends on which version you're looking at. You've got the first one back when she was still human, the second version who emerged from the acid, or the third one running around Gotham City.
In the beginning, she cold-bloodedly killed a man. Whether he was torturing her with electric shocks before or after, I'm not sure—the comic book experts would know. Then there are those memories of her in prison where they were injecting stuff up her nose, I don't even know what it was. It's hard to track the timeline between her circus days learning gymnastics and those years spent in psychiatric care. The chronology just doesn't quite line up.
She definitely shows an issue with violence when she's beating up those robots in the USA; it's total overkill. There’s even that scene where Deadpol shows up and tells her to stop because the guy is already dead. 🤣
Then there's that scene in the car where she loses it and shoots the roof—same thing. Or how she could find a knife underwater and pretend to be unconscious... and of course, that elevator scene where she gets interrupted while fixing her hair; any woman would lose her mind there. 😁
Honestly, this colorful movie feels so overplayed and bland to me. I don't even know what to say. The Huntress and that little girl were the most annoying parts. The whole movie is just silly—it feels like it was made specifically for kids.
I have to disagree on the morality part, though. How can you say she has no morals when she used to be a psychiatrist? In the USA, she had some pretty normal moments; it's mostly just her PTSD acting up. Besides, she isn't inherently violent or rude to everyone. In Birds of Prey, she’s actually more grounded. She looks out for that kid because of the mess she accidentally stumbled into. She could have easily just taken what she wanted and left, but instead, she ends up playing protector. 🤣
I mean, I doubt she even killed anyone while she was on the force. With all that confetti flying around, it’s hard to tell. 🙄
