Three good Quinnzels are dead.
One additional observation, those mob guys may actually be worse shots than Imperial Stormtroopers.
Yeah, based on what other people are saying, it seems like the herbicide weakened her abilities, which definitely makes sense. It would have been better if they had one measly little line making that part explicit, otherwise it really just looks like Ivyâs powers are a forgotten little detail.
Nah. Harley is legitimately hard to hit when sheâs juking like that (bullet dodging is especially effective in close quarters, where you must make more significant angle adjustments to fix your aim). Stormtroopers (and honestly most action movie villains) seem to have a hard time hitting stationary targets. Medium range is where itâs easiest to hit a target and youâre less prone to over- or under-correcting.
They largely failed to hit anyone, though, even when Harley remained stationary behind a thin wooden table that wouldnât have stopped a bullet and couldnât have made her that hard to target.
Now, THAT is definitey true. The table would not have been enough to protect her.
I havenât seen anyone else point out the table, but everyone in the first episode was like âwow, a pile of paper cash isnât gonna protect you from bulletsâ, but imagine trying to shoot clean through a block of wood THICKER than a whole tree.
Loved how Harleyâs Jersey accent came out when she went home. Iâm used to the Brooklyn one but enjoyed the strong Jersey one.
I also liked how they continue to build why Harley isnât a true âbad guyâ by looking at her family history. She doesnât want to be like her father which really explains why sheâs different than other villains. Theyâre keeping her character consistent as they build the story and I appreciate it. It creates a better, more immersive and realistic story.
If you follow the comic series like I do you were surprised by how Harleyâs family acted toward her. And Iâve got to say I was surprised by who was behind Ivyâs capture. As for who put the contract on Harley, not so much surprising as sort of funny.
Added funny. because he used Penguinâs LOD credit card and âBangâ said he should only pay cash for a hit.
Awesome episode.
Bane is the best. Really fun at the ending. I was dying.
Franks adventure was fun. And the crew at the amusement park was fun too.
The fun Italian jokes were nice. Had a little laugh at the Kmart scene.
Ivy and the kindergarten teacher was great. Enjoyed him switching from teacher to goon. And Scarecrow as the boss. Is he working for Lex. Is he doing this for his own gain.
Harleyâs family adventure was nice. The 80s intro was cool. Wonder what happened to the bro. Can definitely see how she ended up how she did. The dad and mom double cross didnât see coming but gramps dying when he mentioned the blood pressure I did see coming.
Overall an awesome episode. Canât wait for more. Really enjoying how what I thought would be a random fun comedy show is also delivering a really great story.
I thought it was pretty realistic to have bullet resistant tables at a mob owned restaurant.
I donât think weâre meant to overthink it. The end game from a storytelling standpoint is that Harley HAS to rescue Ivy to save their friendship.
Edit: Sorry, this is the first forum Iâve used in a decade, and I donât remember how to quote the post Iâm responding to even after messing with the quote buttons.
Really fun episode and surprisingly action pack! This show doesnât dissapoint.
Bane speech/lesson for josh was the funniest part of the episode.

As for your comment about not overthining the story? You might be right, I just think it was jarring that they have this guy talking with Ivy throughout the episode and didnât use that for more dramatic tension. Maybe a MacGruber like countdown? Something a little more exciting than dude just talking to Ivy.
Itâs only one episode, there are plenty more Am eagerly looking forward to next week.
Yeah, they used Ivyâs scenes for comic relief instead. Which is cool on its own, but considering that was the cliffhanger of last episode, itâs not as fitting as it could be.
Thanks!
Takes more than blood to be family. Especially if they are trying to spill yours. Loved Harleyâs regression into the accent. And FRANK!! If heâs appearing, sign me up.
After seeing Harleyâs family her former relationship with joker is making more and more sense. And I love how when Harley thinks to go someplace where people love her unconditionally her first instinct is Ivy. Because even though it becomes all so evident who her real family is Ivy is ultimately her rock, her best friend, her sister, her mother figure, whatever, Ivy is her rock.
I think this episode really just confirmed that Harley isnât exactly a super villain but more of an antihero. She has lines that she just wonât cross. I think her wanting to be a super villain in the first place just spawned from her trying to prove to joker and everyone else that she could be not because she actually wanted to be, That she could get into the Legion of doom and be considered an equal not because she actually wanted to be. I honestly think Harley still just has a lot of identity issues.
On a lighter note Bane is always a delight. Never expected little Joshie to be the one who put a hit out on Harley. Give me more Frank the plant please! Love the 80âs intro for Harleyâs family too funny.
I guess I can forgive the downplaying of Ivyâs powers because it was mentioned that she was probably weakened when they gassed her. But still that is something that shouldâve been clarified a little better. One line of dialogue couldâve cleared that up.
The school teacher being a hired goon just trying to make ends meat so he can fund his teaching job was too real.
Another good episode.
Why didnât she just us the plant to rain havoc on the factory?
You do realize that Ivy NEEDS plants to make her powers work right? Anyone whoâs actually read the comics, or even paid attention to the first episode would understand that. She also canât summon plants out of nowhere, there has to be one within 50yds of her for to manipulate it.
And the last time I checked, Ivy has average strength, so she ainât gonna be picking up cars anytime soon.
