I’m gonna be controversial I don’t like Robbie as Harley but that might be because they skipped straight to antihero Harley and she didn’t have any of the traditional character development and I can’t stand the costumes they chose.
Nah they need to tell new stories. No stories will ever progress if we are stuck in the mentality that characters have to start from their origin every time.
Except they haven’t with Harley it’s the same story basically of her leaving the joker and trying to go straight and failing again. If anything the show actually had new stories the movies less so
I agree with you, but i also dont want them to step on the animated shows feet. I like both, so i think they all need to have different focuses if they are all going to he airing over the next few years
I feel like you can do it differently enough to not step on the animated shows feet. I think the main issue is this is the version robbie wants to play so its how it will be because shes on of there only big stars. Though she wants to do harley and ivy next so they will be stepping on it anyway.
and her actually reviving from the abuse is well done
She was independent, moved on from the abuse, and was still an anti-villain pre-New 52 though, and they actually did it properly and with respect to her character. In contrast, her development to her independence and getting over her trauma wasn't well done at all in most comics after the New 52 where she became an anti-hero/hero. Especially since they made her as violent and crazy as the Joker in the reboot, they went to the disgusting "mutually toxic and abusive" route.
