i don’t know how people feel about harley having actual powers but the idea of her being able to pull off ridiculous, “cartoon logic” things like in who framed roger rabbit or looney tunes or tom and jerry whereas every one else has to adhere strictly to “real world” logic is something that I very much want
things like her pulling her giant mallet out of no where or having endlessly deep pockets on her skin tight jester suit
or her having a wile e coyote and road runner relationship with Batman
Harley chasing Batman going through different doors in a hallway and coming out other doors like in scooby doo
Harley painting a hyper realistic alleyway on the side of a building, Batman cruises straight through it in the Batmobile but Harley tries to run through and gets flattened
That last one indicates that it’s a cosmic power that she can’t fully control and doesn’t even always work in her favor, and that somehow makes it even better.
Why is Poison Ivy always so hypersexualized she’s basically a magic farmer she should be wearing muddy boots and complaining about how corn subsidies are killing agriculture as well as flora biodiversity in the US
They want her to be a forest nymph instead of the stem field eco-terrorist feminist that she is
…I had to draw it.
It also fits because she’s a lesbian, and lesbians wear plaid jackets.
To be fair, the in-universe explanation is so she can attract rich men who devastate the environment to her so she can murder them.
…that would only work the first few times.
I think you’re underestimating the stupidity of horny men.
It has come to my attention that Aquaman (2018) is just a shameless ripoff of the Mattel classic, Barbie: A Mermaid Tale.
We have the child of a mermaid queen and a regular human guy
who was brought up in the human world as a free spirit,
who talks to sea creatures,
who is fated to take over the throne of an underwater kingdom (where all the buildings are round and mushroom-y)
which is currently being occupied by an evil, power-hungry relative
with an army of sharks
And their unique position, straddling the human world and the underwater world, is at first a burden but ends up being their greatest strength
… I’m just saying
So what you’re saying is, basically, Aquaman is a Barbie Princess. Fair enough.
I’m more interested in the fact that Barbie made an Aquaman story (Aquaman came first sorry) but didn’t call it “Barbie as Aquaman” because i watched all the “Barbie as” movies when I was younger and this would have been amazing
So someone asked me a million years ago to elaborate on what I’d do with a Wonder Woman TV show and I had an entire sub-section planned on “How do you solve a problem like Steve Trevor.”
This is definitely a better solution than anything I had considered.
In fact I’m even tempted to say we should do a whole run where he’s still her love interest despite this. Just, all of him, in aggregate, whichever one happens to be there. If one dies she freaks out and mourns and it’s like a South Park Kenny thing, she’s just back with the next one the next day. Her reaction to him never changes no matter who he is, like she doesn’t even notice he’s a person, he’s just a specific role in her story that could be filled by a sexy lamp if need be. See how uncomfortable we can make Grant Morrison.
