Adult animation is a revenge, and DC is the most arrogant and never gives up.

What is the most wonderful superhero work in the first half of 2020?
Originally, the answer to this question would probably be the much-anticipated Black Widow, but an epidemic disrupted the plan. In the second half of the year, Black Widow changed its file and gave this position to the classic role of DC, harley quinn.
No, no, no, what Xiaowan wants to say is not the Raptor Team, which has an average reputation at the beginning of the year, but the cool launch of DC.The animated series harley quinn..
The first season of "harley quinn" started on November 29th, 2019, and 13 episodes were broadcast in February this year.Douban score as high as 9.0, IMDB score 8.4.
In April this year, the second season was broadcast, and the score was also 9 points, which can be said to be a rare big surprise this year.
Do you think such a high score is due to the halo of fans? Actually, it’s more than that
"harley quinn" maintained.DC animation works have always been of high standard.This time, not only the characters and plots are portrayed in place, but also the orientation of adults has greatly improved the visibility of the whole work.
Coupled with the ubiquitous spit and parody, this is simply the best choice for people who have to stay at home.
Before talking about this explosive animation, let’s take a look at Birds of Prey at the beginning of the year. This super-English film played by Margot Elise Robbie as clown harley quinn was highly anticipated before it was released, but the result was that.Except that Margot Elise Robbie’s shape is still perfect.Besides, there are few other special advantages.
The blunt theme of women’s independence, the uncharacteristic role design and the old-fashioned plot all make DC (once again) a bad start in live-action movies.
Fortunately, however, there is harley quinn.
The main plot and story background of this animated series are almost the same as those of Raptor Team, and the same is true.After breaking up with the clown, harley quinn decided to go it alone., not only to get rid of the clown’s control over her, but also to prove her strength.
However, compared with the Raptor Team, which forcibly uses the Raptor Team composed of women to promote women’s independence, the clown girl in harley quinn is the same.Facing the problem of how to find yourself after leaving the clown..
She formed her own small team to build trust among her peers little by little; She has her own best friend "Poison Ivy" Ivy, who always silently supports her behind her back; She also began to face her childhood and past, and stepped out of the haze brought by the clown.
In the end, I destroyed the clown’s exclusive Gotham plan with the strength of myself and my companions.
This road of "self-help" is far more convincing than the formal gathering of women in Raptor Team.
Of course, as a drama series, harley quinn has more room than movies.Show the relationships and details of the characters..
For example, we can see that harley quinn and Ivy have had conflicts and mutual understanding like good sisters; There are also "neurologists" who always complain impatiently, but they still care about Harry in their hearts; And harley quinn is clearly a villain, but insists on his own inner principles; You can even see the interaction between Harry and Batman …
All these together constitute the most attractive place of this play-
Harley quinn, a living girl with love and hate, is strong and fragile, just like what she said in the film:“I’m a bad guy, not a bad person.”I am a bad guy, but I am not a bad guy.
In addition, "harley quinn" as aAdult oriented animationIt has really made many viewers hooked up.All kinds of violent and bloody large-scale scenesEven in animation, it is enough to make people stunned.
For example, as soon as the first episode came up, the clown and harley quinn robbed the rich together, and they always staged a heavy-flavored story of human skin masks, corrosive gas and various kinds of plasma flying around.
In the whole drama, broken hands and feet, brains bursting and bloody massacres are also one after another. In the second half, the human-body modified car is very Cult, plus all kinds of swearing.This series is rated TV-MA.It’s not surprising (not suitable for people under 17).
It is also worth mentioning that it is in harley quinn.A lot of comedy passages and spoofsFrom classic movies to American social life, none of them has fallen behind, and friends who like to dig up all kinds of tributes and allusions should be very happy.
For example, Harry and his party are going to steal the stealth motorcycle from the top floor of Wayne Building. Ivy asks "How do we get the car down", and Harry replies "Using the method in Speed ? ? 7".
For another example, in an episode in which everyone enters Harry’s memory, a large number of childhood Harry attacks them. This friend who is familiar with film history can immediately see that it is a tribute to the settings in classic horror films such as The Exorcist.
These ridicules and tributes are full of the whole drama, plus various comic stalks from the original work. Although "harley quinn" has only 13 short episodes,The rhythm is compact and the amount of information is overwhelming.It is a cool drama that has been watched in one breath recently.
In the case of a real-life version of the street, this "harley quinn" has earned a lot of face for DC. After all,"Real people watch Marvel Comics, animation watches DC."The general trend has not been broken.
With the end of Marvel Comics’s ten years, the Marvel Universe has a huge momentum in terms of live-action movies. DC is not only slightly inferior in quantity and influence, but also slightly better in quality by relying on the recent swords of Aquaman and Shazam!.
However, when it comes to animation, the DC universe is gaining momentum. A few years ago,Teen titans series,Lego DC series, are quite worthy of attention, and the earlier animated series Batman is also quite popular.
In Marvel Comics, the series "The Rise of Marvel Comics" in recent years tells the story of young The Avengers, but it has always had a bad reputation because it is too simple.

In fact, whether it is a live-action version or an animated series, what the audience wants to see, or a superhero image that is consistent and different from what they think, such as "harley quinn", which can surprise us, the more we hope, the better.
