That's the entire subtext of Jessica Jones and Killgrave as well.

In both cases, it's not "her fault." It's just the big evil man who was so charming and irresistible that she'd dance to whatever tune he was singing.

Think about what this says about a woman's ability to make choices for herself. She has complete and total agency until a powerful man gives her vajayjay tingles and then she's effectively mind controlled.

Harley and Joker made sense in the context of her original creation. She was a bit of a ditz, and the Joker wasn't this hyper-abusive, disfigured, overtly sadistic freak. The Joker was a lunatic to be sure, and he didn't treat Harley well, but damn it, he at least did things to keep her around. Even if it was just being a manipulator, he played along with Harley unless it actually got in the way of more important things.

This doesn't happen anymore, and it's why they've sort of distanced Harley from the Joker as much as possible now. The Joker became edge and chaos incarnate with the success of TDK, and while you can write up an entirely lunatic edgelord Harley to match, even that doesn't really work as well as losing the original semi-innocence that made Harley a unique character.

You know, that page actually really does correctly explain why Harley is perfect. She's comics' most versatile character.

Because they hit a goldmine with her popularity and thanks to video games is probably the first woman in DC normal people think of. Can't have your top chick be presented as a bad guy. "Presented" being the key word.

I know this is sort of left field but people do the same shit when it comes to women. It's always someone else's fault.

She fucks someone, it's the man's fault. Two people get drunk and the women has consensual sex, she didn't know better because alcohol.

She has sex with someone outside of her race. It's propaganda and the partner's fault.

It's standard behaviour of being infantilsed and women feed on that shit, they literally like having someone else in charge because it alleviates them of all decision making.

I know it's sexist but it's the truth. I've been with a lot of women both in and without romantic relationships. Women are terrible decision makers about roughly anything. Feminist love that shit too, they love being treated like children who need to be coddled.

It's so frustrating because you want women to be strong and independent and of course there are other women who recognise this trend but the amount of women who love just being what they are now severely outweigh them. Both in size and in numbers.

I don't mind the ditz part being an act. Harley has to have some level of competence to be noteworthy in Gotham, after all, and she WAS a psychiatrist. Neither of those things would really make sense if she was a complete buffoon. And it's a pretty common trope for the stupid comic relief to secretly be smart.

Inb4 she slept her way to her degree, but that still implies a degree of social savvy and manipulation that a full retard wouldn't have

i always figured the joker literally warped her mind. Whether during or after his therapy I dunno. He's pretty good with chemistry, y'know?
I mean harley prime will always be DCAU, and she had episodes where she got outta arkham on parole and was still a complete airhead, if not moreso than usual. Yet we also saw she was totally okay beforehand, not even suspicious that she had that position
and when she's an old woman she's a hilarious old crank

it's still pretty bad even for her that she tortured the fuck out of tim, but that only endorses the idea of it being chemical mindfuckery on her part

make a blog, i am so sick of having to read posts like this when i just want to talk about comics and cartoons. this type of shitposting wasn't even prevalent until ~2013 but now i can't browse this board without having to scroll past people complaining about women.

if this is bait it worked because i am really tired of having my browsing experience ruined by posts that are stretching to be relevant.

also i liked it better when harley was in an abusive relationship but genuinely believed there was a kernel of love in him for her that would eventually emerge. the idea that she just went with it and in a way outsmarted the joker defeats her character - the whole point was that she was somebody who was equipped to see all the signs and still blew past them for 'love.'

It's really telling that Harley was everything that SJWs probably hated most in what a woman could be. Willingly abused, obsessed with her man, stupid and violent. Yet they take her at face value and adopt her as some kind of icon.

No, you misunderstand. It's not a matter of hate because of circumstance, it's a matter of her popularity excuse.

Batman is stupid popular and so are all associated properties. The only reason Harley is an anti-hero now is no fault of any in universe excuse but rather it's merely because people know who she is and they can't write her being an outright bad guy so they changed her alignment.

That's all there is to Quinn, she has no substance or traceable direction. She just woke up one day and decided that she's going to help the local Carnie folk or team up with other iconic super heroines. It's dastardly insulting.

It's from Injustice, where every character who wasn't Superman Strong got super-pills to make them strong enough to duke it out hand to hand with beasts like Doomsday and Lobo, because the whole comic was written to make a fighting game make sense.

There.

That's the only reason she didn't explode into chunky salsa. Because she took super pills in an alternate universe where Superman went dictator crazy.

Harley was an interesting lackey. She was literally made to compliment the Joker, and the way he sort of played along with her insane delusions of theirs being a romantic relationship was interesting. Any outsider could see he was just using her as a completely loyal yet expendable peon he didn't give a shit about, but she was so wrapped up in her delusion that she ignored all the obvious signs and convinced herself he loved her in spite of his abuse.

This attempt to remove her from Joker and make her competent ruins the interesting parts of her character. She worked as a sort of tragic battered spouse to a super villain, where she could disturbingly maintain some innocence but still do heinous things for him. Now when she does heinous things while acting childish, she just seems like a lolsorandomviolence xD character.

I dunno, I guess it's not a huge loss. Harley was never the most important character. But I feel like what was good about her character wasn't that she was a zany, random, competent female villain. What was good about her character is that she would probably never being doing this shit if it weren't for the Joker. She wasn't innately evil or criminally insane. Her form of insanity was just a total fixation on the idea love, and the Joker is the one who recognized that and exploited it to make her commit evil acts.

New Harley just feels like someone read her character description as "the crazy female clown villain" and based everything entirely off of that, missing the nuance that made her character at least a little interesting.

bullbullshitshit

it's explicitly spelled out that people can't resist Kilgrave's commands, complete with pseudoscientific explanation as to why. Their angst over being mind controlled stems not only from the fact he makes them do whatever he wants but also that while they're under his control they WANT to do whatever he tells them to do and once they're free they have to live with the horror of their experience and the self-doubt that comes along with your mind overruling the one small part of itself screaming "no I don't want this"

He makes you do something and you do it; he doesn't compromise your morals and then let you choose to do it

Its like people really try so hard to find this depth to her character to contrast it from how she's portrayed now when it was never there
>>
>>78764349

Yeah, even when she's off the Mr. J train in Harley and Ivy she's still a morally compromised goofy klutz who latches on to Ivy the same way she latched on to Joker
>>
>>78764465
Injustice Harley only perpetuated the feminism. I absolutely love the comic, but Harley's "I'm strong and independent" now angle never sat well with me. Felt like it was laid on pretty thick, especially since she just ends up jumping into the alternate Joker's arms.

So Harley is an expert martial artist now?
>>
>>78764497
>quoting the worst Mad Max movie

>>

That's not the argument at all.

What are you talking about? Even back in BTAS Harley had depth, or do you don't remember the "Harley's Holiday" episode of BTAS?
>>
>>78764497
It was part of her character, but not the whole thing, was my point.

Removing her relationship with the Joker unfortunately also removed almost everything besides that aspect because, yeah, she was never super deep.

My point wasn't that we lost a super cool or interesting character, it was that a barely-nuanced character became completely flat.
>>
>>78764576
She knew he was exactly the same. She just didn't give a shit until he tried to kill her again.
Then she snapped back to tumblrquinn. And you can bet she'd just get over it the second she started craving jokercock again.

I found it kinda silly that in one comic it stated that superman mastered every form of martial arts but doesn't use it because he can't properly hold back when using it.

Within the context of the narrative, yes. I'm talking about the subtext. What do these powers and weaknesses say about the archetypes that these characters embody?

Maybe it's just me, but that doesn't seem to fit at all.
It doesn't come off as quirky, clever or even absurd.
Just shoehorned lines from the old Harley combined with action that seems entirely wrong for her.

Umm, but there is a slight difference seeing as Kilgraves entire M.O. was using his powers to make people do his bidding. Jess wasn't herself, the entire span of the Alias series was her coming to realize she could forgive herself for what happened/occurred due to this fact... In Harley's case she was simply "playing along".

Even that's not right. Harley was -literally- just a background henchmen, Joker's number 2 that he could actually converse with so we as the audience could hear his plan. Even her voice and personality were just molded after Arleen Sorkin since Paul Dini knew her.

>>78765085

the subtext was "stalkers and rapists can seem charming and think they're acting out of love," not "women will wet their panties if a rapist looks like Doctor Who." The entire arc is about the horrible flaws and assumptions that drive people like Kilgrave and the damage they (and the tactics they use) wreak upon their victims and how survivors cope when they've been violated. How are you getting charm kills agency out of that?

Those problems affect everyone, yes. The difference is in how the people involved are treated by others.

When a woman stays in an abusive relationship, it's treated as entirely the man's fault for leading the poor innoccent victim astray.

When a man stays in an abusive relationship, he's treated as a dumbass who keeps on thinking with his dick instead of using common sense.

I've had to put up with both sides of this with the people I know, and the differences really wear on one after a while.

Renee Montoya, Lock-Up.

It happens more often than you think; Alfred owes his appearance to the live-actor who first played him (he was previously overweight), and both Batgirl and Jimmy Olsen were created for the '60s Batman series and '40s Superman Radio series respectively. Actually, Jimmy Olsen is interesting in that he migrated to the comics twice; once after the radio program and once again after the Aventures of Superman used him.

>>78791659
I'm just saying she's not retarded.

She had ambition, a plan, and the drive to get the psych degree and Arkham job she wanted so she could get access to the Joker. Her endgame was the Joker but he threw a wrench into all of that and since she had nothing else planned in-universe, her separation with the Joker just puts her in writing limbo as villian of the week which is why writers keep trying to reboot her and rewrite chunks of her so they can point their version of Harley to a new direction but it always falls flat.

Also why Harley threads devolve into endless shitposting about what is TRUE Harley. We should just get our own tvtropes entry for No True Harley to catalogue just how much of /co/'s shitposting is devoted to discussing how every Harley incarnation isn't a true Harley.

In the animated universe she was studying to get a psychology degree, slept with one of the professors to get higher grades, went into Arkam because she wanted to be a big shot and cure the most dangerous psychos, then she met the Joker

Then the solo canon book she got later retconned that she was a bit crazy since day one, killed her boyfriend by using him as an unaware test subject for experiments with Joker's poison, plus she didn't actually sleep with that one professor, only blackmailed him so she could get into Arkam to meet her idol

Don't argue the point
The people who are hating on new feminist Harley don't seem to understand the new concept of a new continuity so they will keep bringing up her sleeping her way to a medical degree as if its still canon

>>78792952
You can't waltz into a 4 year argument about origins and squeeze out a petty deflection like that into a neat little coil.

If Harley had a consistent push from the start, instead of shifting from yet another abuse victim/sociopath to a savvy, quirky, empowered bombshell in one big jerking motion, it'd be less glaring. If her new fans would stop bullshitting her new character into her old one, it'd be less obnoxious. Either of those two things are enough to argue about. Combined, and then paired with that general "no u" attitude her newest fans have, it's insufferable.
>>
>>78792952
Why can't people just question the character's new "feminist" (come on, this is barely about feminism) direction?

There's also the recent deal with the people claiming movie Harley shouldn't be depicted as a slut because NuHarley isn't (supposedly) a slut, and so old fans end up blaming this reaction on NuHarley herself instead of the idiotic new fanbase

Meh, I can understand that, seeing how close the two of them were and the power-level of Ivy, but it's a bit unecessary IMO. In TAS she wasn't about strength ; she was quick and agile, true, but her main advantages was her resourcefulness. She used guns, traps, explosives, vehicles, surprise, took hostages and attacked from behind. Also, pet hyenas.
I wish DC could get away from the "to make it better, just make it punch harder" logic.

1. Who said it was a good punch? For all we know he punched using the force from his arm.
2. Getting stabbed in the eye might have stopped the moment of it.
3. I think she is somewhat meta now because Ivy changed her body a little bit.
>>
>>78794723
Dude, the movie's Jacket on the back says "property of the Joker", the new one in the comic instead says "Owned" and there's the pic of a beaten up Joker in jail. As long as they're pandered to they ignore the problematic stuff

A similar example is Squirrel Girl's ass: the comic has jokes about the fact that it looks big and in the first issue there's even a guy staring at it, but it's ok because "it's just her tail in the pants XD patriarchy-crushing thighs! :-* "

SJWs and tumblrinas are kinda bipolar, when the new Final Fantasy's mechanic character was announced to be a woman they were like "yay, take that, sexist gamers!" and at the same time "why does she look like a slut? That's sexist"
>>
>>78794922

Anon, that's how abusive relationships work. The abuser whittles away at their victim's ego and self respect long before any physical attack, so that by that point the victim believes they deserve it.

That's not exactly contradictory. I like Sid and she looks hot as fuck but she's not exactly dressed like a mechanic. None of the previous Cids dressed like Winry, so it's indeed possible to be jazzed about a female Cid but roll your eyes over how she's dressed. Should make for some damn good doujin, though.

I always felt like outside of her relationship with Joker and her ditzy personality there's not all that much keeping her from being "girl Joker". Take that away and all you have is her design, which is probably most of her appeal since you can dress her up in all kinds of costumes and shit.

She really is the product of a cartoonier universe. Pull her out of that and the abusive relationship just becomes sad, and without that she's just dime-a-dozen quirky girl. She needs a straight man to play off of like Ivy or, ironically enough, Joker.

Impossible.

Deadpool has had comic runs worth reading.

>This. It doesn't make sense. If he wanted her to be a ditz then why did he constantly beat her up and demean her?
because he loves to beat up up a ditz

Morrison did write Harley in that Joker prose issue where Joker was killing all his own henchmen. He seemed to get her.
>>
>>78806323
Morrison didn't write her after that for some reason
I believe the issue was about Joker trying to kill Harley which is probably his inept takeaway from their dynamic
>>
>>78806760
It was Joker's whole "being reborn again" angle that Morrison likes. Joker was becoming something 'new' because of Batman 'shooting' him. In order to be something new he had to sever all his old ties. Harley included. He was going to spare her provided she let him disfigure her in the same way he was. She was going to let him too, out of love. In the end she decided he wasn't 'her' Joker anymore and shot him n the shoulder to prevent his escape.

I liked it, even if the prose wasn't great.

As someone who hasn't read any of the DC comics, whats a good collection book involving Harley?
And easily accessible/buy-able?
>>
>>78806939
I really think that was stupid but since Morrison didn't write Harley anymore after that I'll never know what he intended once everything was dialed back to 0
>>
>>78806974
To be honest, all her solo comics going as far back to her original series in 2000 sucked horribly.

Mad Love is worth owning. I guess if you were super determined then buying the Injustice trades would satisfy you. You could certainly read worse Harley in any case.
>>
>>78806974

There's a nice anthology of all her early appearances in comics
Batman:Harley Quinn is pretty much the starter kit for Harley Quinn
All the other stuff is different from it

That backup story was best thing to come out of Death of the Family desu.

My brain just died a little from reading this.

People say comic nerds aren't cringeworthy sexist douchebros, then I believe it for a while - until I find shit like this.

Do you seriously think that men never are in abusive relationships? What do you think relationship of Talia Al Ghul and Bruce Wayne is supposed to be, with him still loving her even after she raped him? What is Poison Ivy supposed to be metaphor for?

You're like next level of stupid, holy shit.

>Why can't stories just be stories to you people?
Because feminism keeps being injected into them and now we have to read about some tumblr shit we couldn't give one fuck about
>>
back when the cartoons were all I had seen, I always had the impression Harley WAS genuinly pretending to be the bubbleheaded spaz she was in order to appeal to Joker.

Then I later found out it was the opposite, she fucked her way to a degree and was only faking being intellegent.

Fuck off cuck. Go spend some time in some normalfag hobbies like sports or hunting. I think the level of "sexism" you'll find there would shatter your pathetic psyche, if you think comic fans are bad.

Fuck that, imma get blackout drunk, befriend some Africans and either get thrown out of the sleeziest strip club without even knowing i went to one, ride the train half a way across the country or wake up with most of my shit stolen near pusher street. And never remember how any of it happened.

you're saying that women think with their dicks?
>>
>>78763217
I wanna say women were raised for so long to be under a patriarchy-based institution that they love the loss of agency.

Similarly, men love the gain of agency.

the dialog is stilted because she is sleepwalk-er-fighting. She's asleep through that whole fight

>Design ruined
>Backstory ruined like twice over
>General character personality ruined
When Harley is a genius female Joker with shitty costumes and is also girlDeadpool what's the point?
>>
>>78805998

He really hasn't. Harley had a good run before she was ruined. Deadpool has never had any worth reading for anyone over the mental age of 14.

Harley's series was pretty crap desu

and this is different how?

>>78767217
It means sex now. Each generation takes it farther, as societal reasons not to have sex dwindle and exposure to porn at an early age increases.

why does she have a rash on her nose

>>78816655
Her nose is bruised from snorting to many nose clams.

Kiddo, take it to r9k, this is co. Either talk about comics or cartoons, or keep it to yourself.

Pretty much the only posts reading in this massive shitstorm.

Harley was designed as the counterbalance to Joker. They're both unstable, but they keep eachother in check.

Joker, being a villian, can always find other people to manipulate and exploit. Harley can and does work with Poison Ivy and the like.

But the original character of Harley Quinn was designed not to be able to stand on her own. So to have her playing her as a lone superhero without proper character development being displayed really does seem jarring, and more importantly than that, erodes the very basis of what makes the character what she is.

We admire people for their strengths, but we love them for their flaws.

Without them -- they don't even seem human. How can you relate to a perfect character?

maybe you should go back to looking at colourful pictures dear, the adults are trying to talk

despite the determined efforts of /co/'s mongs to misunderstand you, it's a good and interesting point that i'd never considered.

it's a good demonstration of pervasive toxic femininity.
>>
>>78767545
Intoxication raises a female's testosterone levels to he same as a male's (like 4x the usual level), though since they don't live with it every day of their lives they're overwhelmed by feelings of aggression, lust and general proactiveness. Conversely, a man's T-levels drop slightly.

Not excusing anything, just saying.
