'I don't trust Margot as a producer.' Her work as a producer earned her an Oscar nomination and several other wins/nominations. Also: how dare you suggest she doesn't want any competition from the other actresses. She is supportive of other females, and said she wants Harley surrounded by females because that's how she is in real life with her girlfriends and she doesn't see that in movies. If you're keep on moaning about Joker, then just don't want the film.
You know the worst kinds of fans are the ones that cannot be critical of their faves. Margot is a human being, she can do wrong just because Iām critical of her doesnāt mean Iām the devil.Ā
Not to split hairs here, because an Oscar nomination is an Oscar nomination and good for her. But I, Tonya never got nominated for any of the major FILM awards. Yes, it got best actress, and best supporting with Alison Janney winning deservedly but it never got nominated for āBest Pictureā or any of those awards ever. The performances were what got nominated and that should go to the director and the actor themselves. Iām not taking away anything from I, Tonya but for a film about Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Hardingā¦ it just seems like a movie that the is a shoe in for the Oscars. Every year you just know that some films will be nominated for the Oscars. Like you know that a movie like Dunkirk is going to be nominated before a film like Mission Impossible. You know? Either way, youāre right good job Margot.Ā
Look Iāve always had a little bit of an issue with Margot because I do feel like sheās little miss princess all the time. Sheās clearly has never been told no ever in her life. So sheās always rubbed me the wrong way a little bit, however I will admit that she is a damn great actress. Even though sheās basically been typecast as āHarley Quinnā but whatever she plays a *good* Harley Quinn but itās not the Harley Quinn that I fell in love with. Yes, I understand that the characters have to grow and evolve and that as long as itās the spirit of the character that they get right, then thatās great. But I donāt even really see the Harley I know in her Harley Quinn. I mean I see the shell of Harley, because sheās crazy and a bad person but what else? Margot clearly doesnāt understand the soul of Harleyās character - which is Harleyās love for the Joker. So who is this person sheās playing?
Yes, Margot is supportive of women as long as she is in the one front and center. If Margot actually wanted competition she wouldāve gone the Gotham City Sirens route and casted Catwoman and Poison Ivy.Ā
Honestly, why do you think she got that long ass title with Harleyās name in it? And I donāt know if you know much about Birds of Prey and admittedly I donāt know that much but I do know that Harley Quinn is basically a non-factor in it. From what I understand itās supposed to be about Batgirl, Huntress, and Black Canary. Poison Ivy has even been in it at times, but sheās not in the movie. Curious. Margot/Harley clearly doesnāt want competition because sheās in the forefront of everything, her name is in the title, the other costumes look like they belong on a low budget tv show.
Again, yes, I understand that Harley is a larger than life character and has huge personality and is a scene-stealer to begin with but like Iāve also said, Harley is not really supposed to be in the Birds of Prey and she is basically stealing all of their thunder because sheās āHarley Quinnā.
āSaid she wants Harley surrounded by females because thatās how she is in real life with her girlfriendsā ok great you know I love getting more female roles but just because Margot WANTS Harley to be surrounded by women doesnāt mean Harley SHOULD be surrounded by women. Diversity is amazing and Iām all for it, but you also need a good story and a good reason to have them there. We wonāt know if the story is good until the movie comes out.
Also, whether you like it or not Harley was created for the Joker. Her obsession with him is what literally turned her evil. Yes, EVIL. A murdering sociopath not the sugarplum broken princess that DC seems to be going with. Obviously the Joker and Harley have a horribly abusive relationship that no one should ever want to have but theyāre amazing together. They light up the screen when theyāre on and in the Suicide Squad version, Joker risked his life for her, was clearly in love, and wasnāt abusive.
So why? I get it, female leads are all the rage right now. Female empowerment is awesome. But I have a feeling this movie is gonna open up with āAfter Harley broke up with the Jokerā¦ā when really all weāve seen is that heās (dare I say) loving to her so it makes no sense for her to leave him. If Joker had been abusive and awful to her then it would make more sense, but heās not. In the pervious movie that that the DCEU already established, heās not. So?
Also, I just personally think that Harley Quinn is and will always be 20x more interesting when sheās with the Joker. And it doesnāt matter if they are in a relationship or not, just to have him in the room is her kryptonite. Even if heās the worst ever to her - abusive, hates her, etc. - the Harley I know still falters when she tries to kill him.Ā
I donāt know who this Harley Quinn that Margot created is but sheās not my Harley Quinn. In my opinion, Margot doesnāt understand who Harley actually is.Ā
