[@Typhoidlazzy]

Sheera has been really good at calling it so far. This version of Harley has *always* been a mess but just had a brief moment of "normalcy" in her life.

[@seanwilliams7655]

I really like that. Joker didn't "create" her. He just released what was already there.

[@fghjgfjgfhjgfh]

She is SO right. You have to be in a toxic mental state to be attracted to someone like Joker or be romantically manipulated by him. Especially if she grew up with terrible parents. Just because she’s a Doctor doesn’t mean she’s flawless.

[@LitLounge]

Sheera has a much better track record than any of them. Lupa's always wrong due to worrying about comics. Each project is its own and it takes intuition to theorize correctly

[@deazy6453]

yeah. it's cool. still not my favorite, but it's funny

[@artyom-ovsepyan]

@Ayjop it was already explained in “Mad Love” comic. Harley basically fucked her teachers to get a better grades. She never really was a professional psychologist.

[@SubzeroBlack68]

According to Paul Dini and Bruce Timm who created Harley Quinn, she was always psychotic or crazy . She knows how to act like a "normal person" and attempted to fit in with the rest of the world. But she eventually channeled it to her obsession with the Joker. The chemicals also effected her mind as well

[@danielwhyatt3278]

I really love that aspect about her character. It makes her stand out a bit more obvously from the rest of the characters.

[@Otisboy121]

That tracks.

[@jacquesmassard9226]

We can ignore Bruce Timm who really get credit for a bunch of Dini's Good ideas.

[@LadyDoomsinger]

Basically she was a bit unstable, then Joker made her completely unhinged.

[@lifeisberserk9566]

Perfectly portrayed in Harleys Holiday

[@danielwhyatt3278]

I seriously can't wait for season 3.

[@jaredohlstein7355]

And now there's a 4th in development

[@nekosmith2800]

They’re a several versions of this character so there are some origins stories where she was always crazy and the joker awakened her and then there others where she was turned by the joker

[@SubzeroBlack68]

Well in one of the most recent iteration is she always had issues and was a bit crazy, BUT she was conscious enough to try to be normal and live a normal life. Also, when she was treating Joker as a patient, he always lied about his origin story (he kept stealing other people's origin stories). But you find out that the main Origin story he told her that made her sympathize with him, was actually Poison Ivy's origin story. He stole her origin story to trick Harley into falling in love with him. While Poison Ivy at the time had just turned into a villain and was actually seeking psychiatric help in Arkham and she was about to open up to Harley (when she was a psychiatrist) but at that point Harley was already infatuated with Joker that she missed her chance at helping Ivy and realizing the truth of both Ivy/Jokers origin. So bad timing and the Joker fucked over Ivy and Harley's chance of a better life. Also, that the reason Harley fell in love with Joker, she was actually falling for Ivy without realizing it.

[@yermatedave4930]

"Awakened" "turned"... mental illness is Illness, period. It isn't some kind of spiritual or personal rebirth anymore than getting cancer is. Trust me.

[@JBurnz001]

Well her OG creators had it where she was always crazy and the Acid just made it to where she could no longer switch it off n on.

[@alecLogan]

@@yermatedave4930 Having a mental illness and playing second fiddle to someone like the Joker are also two different things.

[@yermatedave4930]

@@alecLogan yep. Being emotionally dominated by an extreme sadistic narcissist is not a mental illness in and of itself, but the trauma it causes could very well trigger an illness or compound one that's already there.

[@kingnickg4268]

There was a comic called harleen that shows how she was before meeting the joker. Sheera was pretty right about how Harley was.

[@ChromaticEagle]

Apparently there are different origin stories for her.

[@TheMadhatter1313]

Sheera was on point about Harley. Even in older comics before reboots, they showed that Harley wasn't that good of a person. She didn't kill any animals or anything like that. But she did show signs of toxic traits. Like when she seduced her professor to finish getting her PhD.

[@thedernboy]

Tech the first version of Harley was manipulated by joker if you watch the Batman animated series she was literally a doctor that wanted to help ppl but since she was young and naive she was easy to manipulate which joker took advantage of. but with each version writers make their own story to fit narrative. Her first true creation and appearance was in 1992 Batman: The Animated Series

[@zthemartian616]

Yeah Harley has always been a doctor that wanted to help people. New 52 relaunch of DC Comics is what added the layer of, she was always messed up. But it doesn't mean Joker wasn't a manipulator who made Harley into a criminal. It just means there is more to her character then just the innocent victim of the Joker.

[@SleepySlann]

I am not so sure about her wanting to help people. The episode depicting her backstory, hints that; 1. She always had an attraction to extreme personalities and 2. Hinted that she was just digging for good by working with the famous inmates, in the hopes of writing a paper or book on them.

[@abadyr_]

Except she was a phony doctor. And she wanted to write a paper on the inmates (and joker in particular) to write a paper on their issues and get rich quick... It was latter retconed to make her a more "legit" psychologist.

[@JBurnz001]

Paul Dini who you should know if you know the animated series has said she was always crazy. The acid just made it to where she couldn’t turn it off n on anymore.

[@アキコ2003]

Doesn't matter if it wasn't stated. Liking killers and psychopaths is a disease.

[@Saphthings]

Sheera isn't wrong. In most versions Harley was always in somewhat of an edge. The Joker just "released" her either physically or mentally depending on the origin story. But you always sort of have to have the propensity to become that to become that. It's like giving in to your intrusive thoughts.

[@mrshadow4007]

11:31 Sy Borgman is hilarious in the comics. Harley is nice to him and when she finds out that his family doesn't visit him in the nursing home she kidnaps them only to find out that they visit him all the time and Sy's dementia was making him forget.

[@KuzinPennywise711]

Originally she wasn't dipped into the vat like Joker was. That was added in the New 52. Originally she was just manipulated by him and busted him out of arkham. You can read the story Mad Love to get her original origin.

[@cooleopard50]

Harley's transition from Joker's side kick to her own thing has many reimagining's. In some comics she's depicted as a goody two shoes before meeting joker, in other's she was banging her way through college, in her original Mad Love Story, I don't think she even got tossed into chemicals, but she instead got her super athletic abilities, and an immunity to all toxins and chemicals thanks to ivy giving her a syryum for it instead. (Which sucks cause I don't think she's immune to toxins anymore) This however is personally my favorite imagining of "Harleen" before she meets joker. I like her as a little rascal who grew up to be a bit of a rebel lol❤🖤

[@danielwhyatt3278]

I totally want to explore aaall of the aspects of her back and future stories. You know, when I can actually spare THAT MUCH TIME. lol

[@goldenpepe]

This show is 10x better with you guys watched other reactors but with you guys I laugh more and harder lol

[@paul-juniorblack6151]

Jewish Lightning being Black Lightning's Israeli cousin is one of my favorite jokes from season 1

[@AlanSizzlerKistler]

The original comics showed she was always corrupt and toxic, Joker pushed it more and also pushed her to be dependent on him for validation. There were no chemicals in her original comics, that chemical bath part of her origin only entered into the comics in 2011 and explained her skin tone changing mostly. Some comic writers have indicated the chemicals increased her aggression and atypical thinking/reasoning, but again most of her psychological make-up was already there, so the cartoon is being pretty faithful to the spirit of her character here even while expanding it by cementing that she made a choice to jump rather than being forced or pushed.

[@internetgoat4831]

Sheera was kinda right that before becoming Harley Quinn, Harleen wasn't as normal as you think before he even became a Doctor.

[@thatkidsavage_1154]

I still find it crazy how Harley the PSYCHIATRIST who is trained to understand the inner workings of the psyche was manipulate.

[@TheMadhatter1313]

Harley's graduation speech makes me wish that I had been Valid Victorian for my high school.

[@Beamken]

Bro it’s valedictorian

[@sexyscorpius]

Yeah Sheera is right again. Before meeting joker she wasnt as bad as she is now but she always had issues joker just enhanced them. Thats kinda an integral part to her story because she's shown to get a lot better without joker around but still some wounds never heal.

[@TheMadhatter1313]

And yes. That really was Frankie Muniz.

[@digimonalvatrax2738]

There are different origin stories of Harley Quinn, but ALL of them involve her falling in love with the joker, either running away with him or falling into the vault of chemicals. I think the most relevant one is her having a dysfunctional family and wanting to know why they were this way (thus her interest in psychology). It is implied in her childhood that she was severely bullied and misunderstood and that she often craved attention and understanding in which Joker picked up on seeing her. I think she was a bit wild and troubled as a child, but not crazy. She just had an intense way of getting back at the people who wronged her because that was like taking justice into her own hands.

[@dracowavern]

Whoever wrote this show needs all the money ever invented ever

[@lizabell6782]

Harley’s backstory has some room for interpretation. I know in Batman the Animated Series where she first appeared she was just a doctor but they didn’t give any more details. It’s fine to interpret that as there being nothing of note but I’m with Sheera on this one. To me, it makes way more sense that she already had something going on to do the malpractice of romantically pursuing your patient. I personally wouldn’t go the overt angle that the show went for but I also don’t think it’s totally out of line. Besides, fucked up people get PhDs all the time.

[@tofu_golem]

I just finished season 2, and this show is so good. Movie Harley is crazy for the sake of being crazy so that they hey can do the same "Look! I'm crazy!" joke over and over again. This version of Harley has reasons for being the way she is.

[@somestuff7876]

Didn't movie starts with her explaining her backstory and that's includes being sold by her father for a pack of beer (maybe cigarettes) and growing up in some overly strict catholic school?

[@EmperorChaos468]

Poison Ivy is my favorite in this show, I love Harley but I feel Ivy could have her own show also or something. This show will have you laughing every episode.

[@doneekdiggs1211]

I can understand what sheera mean about her being a bit crazy to fall for the joker before she fell into the acid. I mean guys..she worked in a mental asylum in Gotham! Where are the bad guys go to. She had the Joker file and knew what he did. So yes she had some crazy in her. Joker just brought out that part inside her that she knew was there but ignored it

[@Kskillz2]

1:48 when you switch from sub to dub anime

[@Cassandra6]

Harley has always had some screws loose in my opinion. Joker definitely influenced her but the potential of crazy was always there

[@LP3Customs]

She actually was kind of always nuts. In the Batman the animated series comics, Harleen slept with her college professors to get her doctorate

[@kadylady9364]

why is the only thing you point out about her origin though

[@justindixon1586]

Harley wanted to help people but she had an unhinged side to her which increased when the joker began manipulating her turning the less sane parts of harleen into the current Harley Quinn

[@Benxall]

Smh my girl Harley was a hard working doctor Shera doing her dirty

[@internetgoat4831]

She's not wrong in some ways tho

[@danielwhyatt3278]

You guys got it spot on here. Many different versions of Harley over the years from what I've seen, and yet they all have the same defining traits and interconnect to make a whole which is what's soooo wonderful about it. Would definitely recommend the other animated films and series where she appears as they are all so well done.

[@MonkeyDCeddy]

Unlike anime\manga stories, characters have many different versions of themselves so it all depends on whatever form of media you want to follow.

[@MonkeyDCeddy]

@Warlok I'm talking about origin stories, not spin offs or continuations in the same universe. You don't see multiple different versions of Naruto, Inuyasha, One Piece, YuYu Hakusho etc. In American comics one character can have over 50 different origin stories.

[@froziac3509]

From all the youtube videos/tv shows and movies, your channel is the only intro i never skip

[@grownmannn2]

Damien came in on the hoverboard

[@Kree8ingMusic2]

i dont know if you know but ill say it anyway Sy Borgman or Ivy's landlord is actually Harley's landlord from the comics, after DC launched The New52, Harley broke up with Joker and went to live alone and bought a building on Coney Island, she also changed her style of clothing. So the show definitely took heavy inspiration from those comics witch is very cool in my opinion, serves as a great starting point for new people while also giving something new to the old fans, so taking that for a show is pretty dope. Sy is pretty funny in the comics also so they did him justice as well. I highly recommend reading those comics cause the showrunners took a very small part of them from the beginning, the rest of the comic is pretty good, Harley tries to be a psychiatrist again, tries out roller derby, also teams up with Power Girl for a bit. Its so fun and insane and its so Harley. Thats it for my TedTalk, thank you for your time.

[@konnieb9319]

Harley was always insane in her head due to her fascination with criminal mind and at one point during her first party she jokes with a guy about one of the bullies to be hit by oncoming traffic. So she's already had that the transformation made her completely out of touch of reality after that so she became more insane.

[@grownmannn2]

[@IceMetalPunk]

My favorite part of this episode is the message: you don't have to define yourself by your past, you can always decide who you want to be moving forward.

[@dodiswatchbobobo]

These remain the highlight of my week

[@Sinvare]

The "suicide cult" thing Sy is talking about is the real life CIA affiliated Jonestown incident where 909 people, mostly Americans, committed suicide or were killed at a nearby airstrip in Guyana South America. One of the people killed was a Representative to the US House, one of only 2(of 12,415 total) US Congressmen to be to be assassinated while in office, while there have been 4(of 46) US Presidents assassinated. Jonestown is linked to MK-ULTRA (probably) and that is a CIA black ops involving mind control, drug testing on college students and other cold war shenanigans done on US soil and abroad. It is a crazy rabbit hole to look into but it did happen, though obviously it's impossible to ever know for sure what was a part of it and what was done. When congress tried to get the records to perform oversight on MK-Ultra, the CIA and others involved destroyed most of the documents.

[@nicholasjohnson6919]

The New 52 did this whole "Harley has always been crazy" thing, but it ruins the original story so I ignore it. It's funny in the show, but in the comics it's basically saying that she always would have become a villain, but the original was a much better story about a young doctor who was a little too ambitious and got manipulated and psychologically (and eventually physically) tortured into becoming Joker's sidekick. The new version underplays Joker's role in it all and makes her leaving him and facing her trauma through him way less impactful

[@brycelacy3545]

Yeah I prefer her original iteration in BTAS too, initially she wasn’t made to be such a big character, she was simply ‘Joker’s girlfriend’ and never had an origin story before she became a psychiatrist. Her becoming Harley Quinn was part of her intrigue into Joker’s mind and his manipulation. She was never thrown in a vat of chemicals I do like that she has more of her own identity now as anti-villain but tbh I just like her original version more.

[@hermeticallysealed1]

Dini and Timm stated that she was always messed up. She was just able to hide it around others. They created her, so I imagine they know her character better than anyone else.

Yeah when DC New 52 relaunch is what added so much more to Harley backstory. Lup probably hasn't read her New 52 solo run. From her being messed up from a kid. But Joker was always a manipulator who brought out her inner insanity. The show is just translating from the comics.

[@JBurnz001]

Harley has always been somewhat Harley before the acid. She could turn it on or off(pause). The acid just made it to where she could never turn it off.

[@Merilirem]

Like with most superhero etc characters the canon is stretched across an entire multiverse of writers and reboots. When it comes to this you need to just consider every version of a character its own thing in its own universe until otherwise stated.
