Ah, kinda figured theyâd never ship Harley x Ivy in this show, the red herring about their relationship in the s2 & s1 trailers were just that, red herrings. It irks me to a degree that they baited something from the comics that they had no intention of following up in the show in any shape or form.
That being said, Kiteman x Ivy does work for what this show is going for, even though I do agree with Harley that Kiteman is a scrub and she deserves better, but their relationship DOES work in the context of this show. And I like how despite Harleyâs issues with Kiteman, she does support her BFF Ivy, and wants to see her happy.
But more importantly, Frank is back. Always need more Frank.
Now the rest of the episode continues the same level of quality youâve come to expect, and it doesnât disappoint. Also loved the B plot with Psycho and Riddlers, that was great.
Though, it does bother me a little how they race-swapped Catwoman again. I understand why theyâre doing it, theyâre trying promote the new Catwoman in the Matt Reeves Batman film. But I donât see why they feel the need to push that in a show that has nothing to do with that movie, but EVERYONE seems to do that when thereâs an upcoming movie featuring a particular character. Itâs tiresome, but I get it. However, with all my gripes, I do like Catwomanâs look & personality in this show. Itâs that young Audry Hepburn-look that Adam Hughes uses whenever he draws Catwoman. And I liked how Ivy was fangirling around her. That was funny.
If there was an emoji of the Look⢠Selina gave Harley while Ivy was babbling (lovingly, of course), that would be my response. Since thereâs not, this one will have to do:
She dumped more chemicals into the water, though. She wasnât just making them swim in the water. She was dousing them with chemicals while over the water. More poison was dumped into the water. That the water was already contaminated doesnât really make it okay to dump more.
@J3D28F.17202 How do you know itâs âmoreâ? And not just barrels they already dumped? Barrels that leak, rust and degrade, mind you.
They were poisoning people, animals and plant life w/o consequence or accountabilityâŚplus (the most important detail): Sheâs a villain! Her moral correctness is skewed a bitâthatâs the point.
As I remember the episode, Ivy poured chemicals on the men while dangling them over the water. She separated the chemicals from the water, put them back in the barrels, and poured them on the men, introducing the chemicals back into the water? I feel like it makes more sense to assume that she poured new chemicals on the men. Also, I now sheâs a villain, Iâm just commenting on the apparent hypocrisy of dumping chemicals yourself in order to punish people you blame for dumping chemicals.
@J3D28F.17202 Fair enough. Obviously I didnât view the scene the same wayâbut thatâs ok, right? I just hope those details you noticed donât dampen your enjoyment overall. Laughing is good for the soul.
I LOVE this show!! I love how petty these big name characters are. I love how Catwoman is all about herself and how Ivyâs insecurities took off. The friendship between Ivy and Harley is so organic and real. I didnât know Frank had a butt!! And, yes, Kite Man grows on you. Itâs true. Heâs just cute in his dedication to Ivy. I was happy when Ivy made him propose one last time.
Iâll be totally flustered if I met Catwoman. Iâm not a big fan of Kiteman and Ivy together, so Iâm just patiently waiting for the Harley and Ivy relationship to develop further.
Honestly, I thought they where going to say they dated before lol. Im glad she didnt dump Kite since they been through a lot and ugh im so happy with how it ended
Dumping more chemicals into the water will only further harm all the algae and undersea plants beneath the surface, something which Ivy would never willingly do. Itâs a characterization inconsistency, a âwhoopsâ on the writersâ part.
One thing I wasnât expecting: the Egghead cameo in the museum. Like, I was under the impression that DC wasnât allowed to use the characters originally from the Adam West show because of copyright issues with Fox/Disney.
All the nutrients Ivy needs right there!
Barrels that leak, rust and degrade, mind you.
