Birds of Prey - The Impostor Deadpool Jack Sparrow | Anatomy Of A Failure

- Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn Birds of Prey movie is the first DC film of the new decade, and by the quality of it it seems DC is up to its old habits a'la Suicide Squad/Batman v Supeman/Justice League. But the interesting thing about Birds of Prey's failure is that its pretty much a copy paste of other successful movies: Pirates of the Caribbean and Deadpool. The character of Harley Quinn is a straight ripoff of Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow, whereas the narrative and the wonky world of Birds of Prey is a straight ripoff of Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool. But despite copying cinematic greats, Birds of Prey still manages to fail, because it completely misses the point of what makes Pirates and Deadpool great. So, in today's episode of Anatomy of a Failure, lets see how that happened and how DC/DCEU looks once again to be taking a backseat to Marvel/MCU.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
Director Gore Verbinski and the crew set sail once again for this, the third chapter in the swashbuckling Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is hopelessly trapped in Davy Jones' locker after a harrowing encounter with the dreaded Kracken, and now Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) must align themselves with the nefarious Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) if they hold out any hope of saving their old friend from a fate worse than death. The East India Trading Company and its fearsome leader, Lord Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander), have taken control of the ghostly Flying Dutchman and its captain, Davy Jones (Bill Nighy), and now the baleful Admiral Norrington (Jack Davenport) has taken the helm in a relentless bid to destroy every pirate ship in his path and bring the Age of Piracy to a violent close. Meanwhile, Will, Elizabeth, and Captain Barbossa navigate treacherous waters and face bitter betrayal as they set sail to gather the only army that can stand up to Beckett -- The Nine Lords of the Brethren Court. But Captain Jack Sparrow is one of the lords, and as long as he's stuck in Davy Jones' locker, Beckett and his nefarious armada are sure to emerge victorious. There's still hope, however, if the heroic team that includes Tia Dalma (Naomie Harris), Pintel (Lee Arenberg), and Ragetti (Mackenzie Crook) can reach exotic Singapore and convince vulpine pirate Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat) to provide them with charts and a ship. But even the powerful Brethren Court may need a bit of help from volatile sea goddess Calypso in order to weather the coming storm. With the entire future of the pirate way at stake, everyone will be forced to choose sides while drifting precariously to the edge of the earth for one final, spectacular battle. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
"You are without doubt the worst pirate I've ever heard of"
"ah but you HAVE heard of me"
love that line
For her he should have said, “You are no doubt the worst.”
It’s painful seeing the word “pirate” and “Heard” in the same sentence.
it looks like a monkey island's quote.

So Harley Quinn trying to act like Deadpool? Meanwhile, Deadpool already went back to the DC Universe to stop Ryan Reynolds from reading the Green Lantern script.
Wait what.that did happened?
Makai Ridah it happened at the end of Deadpool 2
Makai Ridah watch the credit scene of Deadpool 2
So one was being an impostor the other doing the lords work
Ryan Reynolds regrets that stint as Green Lantern I see.
It's actually funny how many movies come out worse due to re-writes when the original script seems to be so much better
ikr
The re writes are because the studio want to market it worldwide, you can’t watch a direct reference to homosexuality in mainstream movies because some countries may freak out
@@giovanyzegarra1452 so they compromise and cheese everyone off. This is why comic book movies have a hard time working. They are pigeonholed in the comics for a particular demographic. They try to dilute this down to appeal to the lowest common denominator in movies.
DC darkness will always struggle here compared to marvel lightness. It's the edginess that gives DC it's flavor that they're trying to dilute.
It's curry without the heat. An unappetising bowl of slop....
I actually really liked the original script where Black Mask was trying to get the diamond because it had evidence that he was gay. It's a unique, personal villain motivation that it's actually refreshing. Most of the time people just write villains that they just want to be powerful or something (ala theatrical Birds of Prey). Black Mask's motivation is just to save his ass and stop people from people knowing he's gay.
@@giovanyzegarra1452 I thought the reason was that the movie would be attacked because the villain was insecure about it and some would see that as a bad thing, but yea maybe your right
"Not only do they give you a movie that doesn't work, but also they flip you off with the potential of what it cold have been..." Is the most accurate description of every DCEU movie to date. I hate you for saying it.
Not Shazam.
@nikolai 1939 nah shazam was actually pretty decent
Writer: *Makes a good script*
Warner Brothers: Okay, but what if we make it bad?
I hate him for being right about it
Wonder Woman, Shazam, Man Of Steel. Hardly a universal truth.
Jack's whole thing was that he wasn't the main character of Pirates 1-3. Will and Elizabeth were always the protagonists and the stories were about them. Jack wasn't supposed to have a backstory. He was supposed to be there for his own reasons and his whole arc was him starting to go out of his way to help the main characters without ulterior motives.
My man.
Finally, someone who speaks English. Jack was always supposed to be the funny side character who was just there to support the main characters and his own shinnanigans were what made everyone attracted to him, honestly the perfect example of a near perfect character. Without Jack, pirates is doomed, and to hear that the people who made the are gonna make the new one is proof that the franchise is gonna die for good
Yes, exactly! 😭
Basically pirate Loki (original Loki, not Marvel)
Never knew this! I always thought he was the main character… in case you could tell I’m obviously a casual
Also making Harley dumb completely dismisses the fact that she is a psychologist with a PhD. So she should be able to outwit her enemies. Even being under Joker’s spell they needed to show what her value to him was.
She's been seen to use that to her advantage in every appearance though? Has she not?
To be fair there are plenty of people who don't have a full high school education that can successfully navigate the criminal world while well educated people are only their victims.
@@bobson3014 exactly.. But filmento Doesnt care much about Context.
I was thinking that too. Why make her a dumb drunk? Shes written like a teenager or something. :P
Thats what I don't get, show her brilliance. Some of the smartest people in the world are eccentric, DC could have easily played off of that. When she was tied up I was waiting for some crazy escape showing how she is always in charge but it turned into nothing.
Of course the greatest character of the movie is Kenobi.
He acts his butt off for this role and that’s why I believe it works
He always has the High ground
Well, hello there.
You are a bold one
@@BigPuddin General Kenobi
The really sad part is the whole faux fool thing would actually be a great fit for harley. Maybe repaint it where she still perceives the world incorrectly, but she still makes intelligent capable decisions within her own perception. Just because a character is delusional doesn't mean they have to be a nonfunctional child
I hate how they completely forgot that Harley is genius psychologist that was allowed access to the joker
not really, she had a lot of psychology-related scenes. You also forgot that she's a PSYCHIATRIST so your point is invalid.
John Cena Depending on the continuity she just slept her way to her degree. Most people don’t actually know or follow the continuity where she actually earns it (she supposedly even went to the same school as Bruce)
MsTriangle in the suicide squad is was their intention that she was manipulating everyone around her but they showed in very sloppy
Anthony Garner she probably did both
John Cena Did both in the movies or comics? Cause when she slept her way to her degree in the comics is expressly shown that she was failing her classes before getting the A.
My only note is that the chemical factory wasn't jokers headquarters, it was basically their first "date" location.
People keep thinking the movies are like the comics...in Marvel comics Hank Pym created Ultron not Stark it would be dumb if they chemical plant was a base it's to easy to find in reality
@@jasonbarkley4586 It would have been cool if Pym had made some earlier version of Ultron, or laid the groundwork for the first AI and then Tony based Jarvis on that.
@@VogtTD yeah marvel ficked up with that to Tony stark pym means nothing
@@VogtTD ppl think of pym oh you only made one invention a d it's really irritating unlike the comics
@@matthewstanley8295 I'm not against Ultron being made by Stark, it works within the context of the events of the MCU up to that point,. However I think trying that story back to Hank would have been a nice nod for the fans, and a simple mention of his name as the person who laid the groundwork of the tech would have been the perfect way to establish Pyms presence within the past of the MCU to set up his eventual appearance in Ant Man.
this movie should have been about harley and harley only especially considering how in the comics (prior to this movie coming out) she never associated with the birds, quite the contrary she was a rival and had her own gang the gotham city sirens
This movie NEVER should've been in the first place! NOBODY gives a shit about Harley Quinb or a forced all female "superhero" movie. Seriously, NOBODY gives a shit about her.
The studio is run by fucking morons. They would've been better off making a Deadshot movie, or a Rick Flag movie, or an Enchantress movie. Harley Quinn is not good enough to be a solo lead. Plus they went on and woke casted a bunch of those BoP characters. Dina Lance being a black chick, Cassandra Cain being some chubby asian girl etc etc. None of them look like actual heroes. It's fucking stupid. They should've cast Katheryn Winnick as Dina Lance
@@PermanentHigh You made some points that I definitely agree with here, but imma have to disagree with people not liking Harley. Over the years Harley has become a popular villain among the younger generation of DC fans including myself. But Yess Harley isn’t that good of a character to have a stand alone Film surrounding her, she’s always been a sidekick to the Joker because im pretty sure that’s how we got to know her
@@xolqi3394 You're part of a very small minority. Nobody cares about her, and she's not interesting enough of a character to warrant a solo movie.
Enchantress has far better character design and potential.
@@PermanentHigh who the fuck is Enchantress?
How are you going to say Harley Quinn, literally one of the best known, best loved, iconic characters from the Batman Universe, isn't cared about?
You're literally just invalidating your own opinion.
@@twojointsjay7330 She's not good enough as a solo character. She's not interesting. She's a sidekick at best. It's why her movie flopped. Nobody fucking cares about Harley Quinn. Face it. They keep trying to force her in people's faces, but nobody cares. She's not interesting in the least bit. She's wack.
Enchantress at least has cool powers and a cool backstory. Cara Delevigne was Enchantress in Suicide Squad. DC should've developed HER more.
I reeeaallllyyyyy hope the new batman movie won't be as bad
DC really likes casting incredible actors for terrible movies
That because WB always trying to interfree with the script, tone of the movie, etc.
@@smharyanto4660 we'll see if that statement holds up when the Snyder cut comes out meet me back here soon
Well given that Matt Reeves of all people is directing the movie, I have a lot of faith in The Batman.
@@Notjacobsilvestri WB had nothing to do with the Snyder Cut. They axed it, then hid it and buried it to keep the fact that they fucked up a brilliant film from coming to life. Then in 2018 AT&T bought their shitty little studio, and twisted their arm into giving Zack another $30M and later $70M to finish the VFX and release it.
And to nobody's surprise, it's the best DCEU film, and among the best DC films.
@@TheStraightestWhitest best DCEU movies? Probably. Best DC movies? Nowhere near. Snyder cut still have a lot of flaws. DC have lot of better movies above JLZS for example Batman Nolan and Joaquin Joker
Birds of prey, also known as Pirates of the Pool
So that's it? What, we some kinda dead suicide bird pirates?
Lol
I don't get how this is related to pirates of the caribbean like at all... but okay XD whatever people are weird they like to always downplay certain characters specially female if they get a chance and comparing to johnny depp is a little uhm too much XD specially jack sparrow I honestly think they are two dif characters and that's that.
This is quite poetic
pirates of the pancreas, because id need that organ cut out of me if i was actually gona laugh at this movie
Goddman dude, this video is going to be aging really well. Not only is Margot Robbie going to be cast in a new Pirates of the Carribean movie, but it's going to be the same writer who worked on this movie.
Oh Christ!

@@Hewhois82 Damn, don't tell me that.
At least you addressed him as Captain Jack.
He will kill mera
the annoying thing about Harley being an idiot is that she wasnt always one. She literally used to be a psychologist and in the OG comics she had some level of wit and intelligence she used to be a witty trickster and it baffles me how she isnt today
The crazy thing is that when DC did a Harley Quinn TV series on their streaming service they got everything right and told an incredible story.
Their animation is usually pretty great, but their live action is a bit lackluster. Marvel usually has the opposite issue.
Well, they aggressively forced lesbian romance to conquer all towards the end but until then it was good.
Captain Doomsday agreed 💯
And the characters are way likable than anyone on this movie. Never thought in my life I would ever see goofy Clayface and King Shark and sassier Poison Ivy without trying to be sexy and seductive like she always does. And the fact, they introduce Kiteman and Dr Psycho is actually good refreshment. But, I feel like the love triangle between Harley-Ivy-Kiteman is so unnecessary. And the fact that Season 2 shows how "Healthy Joker" looks like.
@@margarethmichelina5146 I mean, considering how hard Kiteman got discarded, they shouldn't have even bothered with him. If he was an obstacle to their agenda, why introduce him as a character?
Remember, writers: when you write female characters, it's more emphasis on CHARACTER and less emphasis on FEMALE.
I don't understand why so many people are saying this. The movie didn't do that for any moment, the character's focus wasn't in being females (like in Charles' angels, from what I know), the problems of the movie were explained in the video, like excessive edition, not likeable characters or things like that. No one complaining about Batman vs Superman says that one of the problems was making the characters too focused in the masculinity.
@@apenasmaisumdiogo.7115 "If you don't watch this movie, you're sexist"
After the movie flopped:
"The movie failed because of mysoginistic men criticizing it"
Yeah, maybe if they didn't MARKET this movie as FEMINIST, maybe noone wouldsay shit like this.
@@apenasmaisumdiogo.7115 Also, noone talked about that Superman and Batman because this shit has been done by every franchise ever, it's over masculine, that's fine. Literally no man ever has complained that the Male heroes are too masculine, yet almost every feminist ever can't stop bitching that female heroes are over feminine.
@@apenasmaisumdiogo.7115 thank you! I see them doing it too, it's like they didn't watch the movie or breakdown.
Reaper Z erm yes they have, the whole reason we don’t have the classic overly masculine action hero nowadays is because it’s a pretty bland boring character and audiences have grown beyond that. We want flaws and depth in all characters. The problem some women led films make these days in removing the flaws and giving us more of the ‘toxic masculinity’ characteristics in them ironically. However as you saw in this video essay that isn’t the problem with this film and in fact the opposite, with one of the big problems being that they actually didn’t show her strengths/motivations enough and made a weak shell of a character.
What made Jack Sparrow great for me was that he was not the main character, that role went to Will and Elizabeth. He just existed within the story and involved himself in the main narrative to his advantage whenever necessary to get what he wants, then abandoned it again.
Making him the main character took away all of his charm and why he stood out so much in the first place, Harly Quinn was Sparrow as the main character.
making jack the main like in the trash 4th film and the dissaponting 5th film
The funny thing is that Harley Quinn as a character is Very Smart and Athletic and knows martial arts.
but in this movie, but they craped all over that.
Ikr! It's literally in her name: Harley Quinn, which comes from Harlequin: a character from _commedia dell'arte_ that pretends to be forgetful and silly while actually being extremely astute, witty and agile on his feet. It's the kind of character that even if you managed to capture him, you'd have to go through hell to keep him locked up.
Same thing with Harley. Her overall personality is that she does get the short end of the sticks sometimes, but you better believe it that she ain't gonna play the _damsel in distress_ game and that you WILL get your ass kicked. It's like trying to catch lightning in a bottle.
Well this Harley kicks ass in combat so: martial arts - check
Aaaaand the move is still worse than it should have been
I agree Margot put A LOT of time and effort into learning the skills to perform kicks and flips like we see in suicide squad and its a shame we don’t see a lot of it here. Btw I love crapes
No they didn't,she adapted to every situation well. And the fights were awesome.
@@dusathemaid Actually, this Harley DOESN'T kick ass in combat. Yes, she wins every fight she's in, but it's yet another example of where this movie took shortcuts. The actresses VERY OBVIOUSLY don't know how to fight in the slightest degree and the stuntmen are directed to act as if each blow strikes with the force of ten men, even if it's from six feet away and can't possibly hit. Even for the first Charlie's Angel's reboot (the semi-good one) the actresses trained for literally three months straight. It's obvious in this movie they were just told to act tough and win. So instead of giving the impression that she's a keen and slippery fighter, we just come to understand that all women are strong and all men are pathetic. It doesn't work, like so many other things.
"When presenting herself as a dumb drunk" Dude this is the EXACT problem with Movie Harley Quinn! Harley is a GENIUS. She BUYS IN to Joker's fallacy that "Chaos is the only truth" and she's the only other human on Joker's level of understanding of that methodology. She PRESENTS herself as slutty bimbo moron because it gets her a massive edge over everyone else. She is in truth extremely capable and intelligent, but she plays The Fool and The Rake as characters to lessen her open threat. She's a terrific character in the cartoon and her later comic adaptations, but the movies all make her an ACTUAL Bimbo, or an ACTUAL dummy, and neither is her character.
Even When she wear slutty this have a point.She can use this for distruct heroes or others. But in dceu she is just a eyecandy without function.Even in Porn version Harley seduce Batman and poisened him.This means even porn version better than this.
@@TheJanissary90 The Problem is that the whole plot of NSFW Harley I seen was smart enough to even seduce Wonder Woman and superman at the same time
Even smart people can be dumb drunks.
İnsomnia
My man just exposed the type of porn he’s watching. Nice
I think Filmento's point was that she was never presenting herself as a dumb drunk, but just being one.
Moral of the story: they should've just made a Harley Quinn movie and saved Birds of Prey for another time.
Edit: Thanks for the interactions guys 😊
The movie was renamed as Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey.
So this is a Harley Quinn movie... 🤔
Or they should have made Harley Quinn a side character and make The Birds of Prey the main focus.
100%. And a ton of her character choices and actions are based and driven around the actions of the Joker and that just goes unresolved and he never shows up, it's like one act of another movie just plopped in this one.
Sounds about right.
That sum's it up. Also the marketing was clearly pushing an agenda that most superhero audience, males, are not going to support. Funny how a female empowerment movie of Harley Quinn was easily bested by a deep character study of the Joker.
im so glad a movie about a blue alien hedgehog did better than birdpool
Birdpoo*
This comment right here. I love this haha
You mean the loveable blue hedgehog?
Almost as if people like being listened to
The audience is Harley Quinn and the potential was the sandwich. We were so close but ultimately we watched as it splatted on the ground.
If birds of prey was just a Harley Quinn movie about Harley Quinn on her own, this might’ve actually worked
I think a Birds of Prey movie without her might have worked too.
Hell to the no. No eye candy or comedy
I actually really enjoyed the idiotic stuff Harley did in the movie in the 1st act. Didn't like the other characters much.
it was one at first in pre pre production then margot pushed for more women and birds of prey in particular and dc had just lost cavil(kinda) and affleck(definitely) so they really couldnt afford to lose one of their other draws with robbie and cow towed to her thats why she's a writer and producer
i mean the poster already makes me confused, the Biggest title logo is "Birds of Prey" , the sub title has Harley Quinn with smaller font size, BUT, Harley Quinn's faces is bigger than the birds of prey themselves? Judging from the poster itself makes me confused. After watching the movie, i was right. Also that singing scene is very useless imo, im half asleep during that scenes.
The PTSD from Dead Men Tell No Tales' Jack is relatable.
Same
Why would he have PTSD? Nothing from the 4th film led to that.
@@ferran273 they're referring to the PTSD the viewers endured
@@PootNewt Thanks for clarifying
Dead men tell no tales was fine. 🙄 bandwagon cinema snobs always crying
I love Harley. And I’m in a minority where I’d prefer Harley to lean less like an anti hero or overall goody guy and more like season 1 of the Harley Quinn tv series where she wanted to become the biggest baddest villain of them all taking out all of the bad guys. But even as a fan of hers I also wasn’t crazy about the movie. Why did everything in the movie center on women = good...men = bad. Did every guy in the movie have to be a jerk?
"emancipation of Harley" right there in the title. Sorry, they were gonna fuck it up. I wanted to see what you're saying, but we got this idiotic bullshit instead.
I'd like to imagine the show took some of this movie's ideas and made them work
I recently saw this movie with my mom and she also noticed all the men were bad guys, I didnt notice that until she mentioned it. She liked it but wouldn't watch it again
It's absolutely genius how you find flaws just by understanding plot & character structure. I've learned watching these 15 minute videos than multiple screenwriting courses.
Me to Filmento as Dr. Strange to the Ancient One: "Teach Me!"
Hahaha
Meanwhile the in the animated Harley Quinn show, Harley actually has a real motivation. She doesn't want to eat a sandwich, she wants to become a great stand alone villain on her own, join the Legion of Doom and get a worthy arch nemesis.
I love that show!
@@underaminutewalkingvideos7349 Speak for yourself. Sandwiches are bomb 😎🖕.
I'm a ''I'm not a kid I don't watch cartoons'' kind of guy. I bit the bullet and watched it. It's fucking awesome! Why DC doesn't make movies like this??
Marcin Widz you should see their animated movies
@Azal 423 the live action shows on the other hand...
There's also another important part to the Sparrow/Deadpool aspect here. In there respective series, those two are the only ones who are crazy. Jack Sparrow had Will and Elizabeth to be normal people to amplify just how bizarre Jack was, but also to keep things ground and prove that he was the weird one. Same thing with Deadpool. He's surrounded by normal villains and straight laced X-Men, but he himself is basically insane.
Birds of Prey doesn't have that. They all suck and Harley sucks just as much as anyone else.
That's also a pretty good point, the other movies show they're more... odd than the average person by having an average person being with them, which may also lead to conflicts between their ideas, the way they perceive the world, and such.
@@Mike14264 I think part of it is also that there is more to Deadpool and Jack Sparrow than just being crazy. Jack Sparrow may be crazy, but he's also intelligent and very strategic in everything he does. Deadpool maybe in saying, but use also fiercely loyal and empathetic to those he cares about.
@@raptoid2518 yeah, they're not 1-dimensional, they're more complex than just being oddball characters with dumb luck on their side. Harley is just a quirky character with dumb luck on her side.
@@Mike14264 Exactly. It could also be debated that Jack Sparrow purposefully acts like an idiot to catch people off guard. That it's a way of showing him to be cunning. They make reference to that with the ongoing joke of him being either the best or worst pirate that different characters have ever seen. Deadpool is closer to how she acts with him being quirky and funny more often than not, but that also works because they never try to push the movie as anything more than just a fun superhero movie to watch. Deadpool set out to be fun popcorn entertainment and ends up being an extremely enjoyable movie to watch because of it. This movie tries to follow Deadpool's formula but also wants to be taken seriously for social messages brought up within. It doesn't know what it is and instead copies other movies and characters to make up for that.
Yup
Jack Sparrow is like the drunken master kung fu fighter. Harley Quinn is just a drunken club girl.
I would've liked this movie a lot more if it put full focus on its premise (harley dickin' around in Gotham city), and executed it in a way that made it feel like you were trapped in a joyride with a heavily drugged hippie

Now, this critique I can get behind.
I enjoyed the hell out of Ewan Mcgregor's performance in spite of the movie. Dude is an incredible actor. Even with forgettable writing his charisma shines through.
But I definitely saw the Deadpool rip. And the Jack Sparrow comparison is obvious in retrospect.
If you want good female characters, do what Jrr Martin did: write good characters, then make them women.
Any time “being a women” is their main feature, it likely won’t work. There are no good male characters based on “well, they are a man.”
He-Man (Joking of course, couldn't resist)
Chuck Norris. Jk jk he is just god.
that's also what happened for Ripley in Alien and for Lara Croft. I agree 100% , the problem is the bias , they intended to do a feminist movie very hard (witch is a total turn of for me "look how feminist we are , booo bad men , booo" ), but they just made a huge pile of sexism and condescending .

Hey Filmento I just want to thank you for what you do, I feel like I would rather watch your critiques of these new movies than actually watch the movie. Your plot corrections are always perfect! You are the best !!!
I just hate when they take decent villains and down play their abilities to favor the protagonist. Making Victor Zsasz a boot licker who is easily disposed of and Black Mask an over emotional man who never shows why he's in charge in the first place was just disrespectful. Dude put on his mask finally at the end, drives to the fight, drives away from the fight gets his mask taken off by a child and dies. Why the hell was anyone afraid of this guy.
finally someone who shares my thoughts, people keep saying the villian was great. but i just dont see it, there is literally nothing threatening about him
Gotham did zsasz right, change my mind
Yeah, fuck this movie. Black Mask is such a badass, an old school gangster in every sense of the word, and they turn him into some worthless, flamboyant douche. Literally everything about the way he's portrayed is a disgrace to his name and character. There's no way I was going to ever watch this movie anyways, but yeah, now I'd just burn it if I ever saw a copy lying around.
I don't know much about Zsasz, but I really liked how he was in the Gotham tv show, reminds of a funnier version of Agent 47, I really liked him.
@@jacobbenns6090 no I definitely agree, I typed my comment before I read yours, he was awesome in that show.
The "Why not? Because I'm a girl?" trope ruins the attempt at elevating the strength of women characters. If the story is constantly hounding on the fact that the character is female, the audience automatically goes into eye-roll mode.
Eye roll mode lol

I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel today. These reviews are not only spot on, but well made. In some cases I've found you explained to ME why I couldn't stay focused on a movie or in this case, confirmed that I wasn't crazy being mystified by the setup of the bad guy being in the closet but then giving no reveal.
So you saying instead becoming Jack Sparrow, she became Jar Jar Binks.
KiNA Suki jar jar binks is no accidental clown
Jar Jar is the key
Carlos Harley wishes she was jar jar
Jar jar is no clown
Jar jar is the key
No. Jar jar is pretending to be dumb. He is indeed a force user but it is not known if he is a sith or a jedi.
KiNA Suki yup 😆😂🤣
Say what u want about Jar Jar. But at least he had a personality of some kind. Harley is just a lucky nimrod who has everything handed to her!
They couldn't make him officially gay in the Movie, cause China would've never allowed that in their cinemas..
I actually thought the film did a good job of portraying a male friendship that didn’t shy away from showing some intimacy, like so many films do to the point where we need the term “no homo” in the same sentence as “I love you, man” without breaking masculinity laws. And then I found out it was supposed to be a gay relationship and I immediately went “of course”. Ugh.
They could have just make a China cut a leave the more realistic and in tone version for the rest of the world.
Movie says Chinese restaurant guy is Taiwanese. I wonder if they changed that for the Chinese version.
No, they didn't made him gay because the Western leftists would attack the movie since he's ashamed of being gay etc.
Thanks Obama. No, China! Thanks China! China is the excuse for everything nowadays, it's the current year.

@Ali Saurus so voice over is only stupid if dc does it
@@LOLimalexx it's only stupid when the character doing the voice over is stupid but trying to act cool. Deadpool is stupid, but he knows that, the movie knows that and the audience knows that.
THB Nam how is Harley trying to act cool in this movie? She’s crazy as fuck throughout lol. What? She didn’t make enough jokes about masturbation and sexy like a 12 year old? Or she didn’t randomly drop movie references(in the hopes that anyone would even remotely consider that to be a joke)?
How many movie failure's will it take for studios to realize that having a femme fatal theme/character does not make your movie automatically successful.
@TheVirusSoftware I'm talking generally.
It Makes The "Fanbase" Extremely Toxic
@@zambiekiller360so true. honestly this whole "female empowerment" shit that's shoved down the throat of every movie these days serves as nothing but bait for women to praise it on twitter. its honestly useless and stupid especially since this whole "girl power" thing is outdated in western society, women aren't oppressed in America so when a generation of girls who aren't even oppressed are basically
told that they are superior they'll start acting like they are. What i'm trying to say is why is Hollywood putting millions of dollars into female superiority propaganda that will reach an audience of women who aren't even oppressed? and if you think im overexaggerating here's an actual phrase from the Hollywood movie Charlie's angels "its actually considered an advantage to be a women" imagine hearing that as a girl. and now that I think about it why don't men deserve "empowerment" we all go through sexism believe it or not. It's honestly just stupid, and a disgusting way to get people to watch your movie.

@@hehe-sy7vt one of the best comments I have ever read.
Thank you for doing this video, this should be studied for the next years to be honest. Excellent work 👍👌
Yeah when you said that bit about the ending they rewrote it kinda saddened me. They had this amazing character of a villain, with perfectly realistic motivations, and scrapped it off for the most cliched thing ever. And whats worse is that I can very clearly imagine the executive producer being like "ohh no we cant use his sexuality against him, that would be bad lgtb representation". When instead it could have been veeeeery easy to manage. Simply make the bad guy fail to recover the pictures, and force him to embrace his sexuality and let the world know his secret so he can *defeat* Harley. Not only it makes for a pretty darn good climax, taking harley's advantage over him with the pictures, but also completely cements the character as a 3 dimensional being capable of growing.
I mean, just look at the promotional material, almost everything is focused on Harley Quinn, but the title is Birds Of Prey. That's when seed of doubt starting to grow in me
Seed was a very wisely chosen word when the movie is called Birds...
This movie was renamed as Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey. That makes sense
Yea but....couldnt they just made a stand alone harely film? For fuck sakes man, who is calling the shots so we can replace them.
@@amalka_ari officially no, it's just the theater's doing
@@Cinna3unnz Apparently there's a rumour that Margot actually wanted to do a solo Harley movie but WB told her no so they gave her the options of 'Birds of Prey' or 'Gotham City Sirens' and she chose BOP because if she had have picked GCS Margot was afraid of potentially being outshined by whoever got cast in the iconic roles of Poison Ivy and Catwoman.
Isn’t it crazy how Ewan McGregor is always they best part about bad movies.

It’s proper british acting. Can make anything work.
@@hanniffydinn6019 wtf are you talking about neither McGregor or Evans are British

Gene Kim stop being dumb I obviously mean british isles, nobody in U.K. thinks Scottish are a separate county dumbass, not even the Scottish! They are trained Shakespearean actors living in London. So stop with the Scottish, Irish , Welsh bullshit, they all live and were trained in London! So they are literally british. 🤯 they wouldn’t be seen dead in Scotland .....
This is the best youtube channel for movie reviews. Thank you.
I personally loved Harleys depiction in the Birds of Prey Movie. It was very close to the character that was shown in her solo comic series (which is also set in a post Harley-Joker-Breakup Scenario). The hole point of her character there was, that she did what she wanted, when she wanted without having to explain herself to anyone... So the comic Version (which I assume to be the source material for Birds of Prey) was basically a chaos queen with a lot of dumb luck. Many depictions of Harley Quin show her stumbling through events and somehow not dying... The point of Birds of Prey was to show how she learned, that she needs her own agency and can't rely on men... Which is exactly why she tries to replace the Joker with Roman for the first 2/3 of it...
And the fact that Roman fits Harleys world best is quite unsurprising: both of there characters motivation, agency, etc. relys heavyly on them being crazy!
The Problem with the Birds of Prey was not, that there Story was told by Harley, but that they weren't the actual Birds of Prey (replacing Oracle with Montoya was a choice... ... ...) so the biggest issue of the movie is the title... It's called "Birds of Prey" without an focus on the Birds of Prey and without the hole team present...
But none of this makes it a good or a bad movie. I'd say it's an enjoyable movie and a great Harley Quin adaptation!
(I do agree, that it would have been a better movie if the McGuffin had been naked pictures of the villain)
Harley Quinn doesn't even have medium awareness so it makes no sense for her to break the 4th wall. Deadpool has medium awareness so it makes sense for him to break the 4th wall as it is an actual ability he possesses and not just a writing tool for the movie.
Excuse me for being a dumb-dumb
But what do you mean by medium awareness in this case?
@@raj4myo Deadpool knows he's fictional so he use to break the 4 wall and use it as advantage. But Harley don't know that.
@@raj4myo Deadpool possesses medium awareness as a superpower. He's fully aware that he is a fictional character in a fictional universe. It allows him to break the 4th wall, skip ahead in the story to see what's gonna happen and even rewrite parts of the story sometimes. There was even an instance at the end of Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe where he hopes out of the story, kills the writers, then looks through the 4th wall directly at the reader and says "I'm coming for you next.". You're not dumb-dumb. I'm just a Deadpool nerd.😁👍
Oh ... Thanks for the explanation guys.
Now that makes so much sense!
So it's not just a comic gag.
Sure helps me understand the character much better.
@@raj4myo I would have liked a Harley Quinn movie done like Joker.

an r-rated movie made to inspire little girls
... brilliant
Don't hold too much stock into ratings. i grew up in the 90s in the era where ratings were becoming a thing more. And many of the movies with guns, muscles and tits did inspire me. Different elements all rolled into a thought. Men should be strong. Men should perceive. men should be aggresive. Men should understand and learn from their mistakes...romance movies and such. And men can blow off steam and just have fun.
This movie was a "blow off steam, say fuck it and have fun" type of movie. ..and it has a female lead. Who would have an easier time relating to that character? Males or females?
Nothing hard to understand there
@@agonleed3841 real females dont relate to this bullcrap. I read your little diatribe. Its crap. "Blow off steam" movie? Vicariously through aggression... Like men?

@@underaminutewalkingvideos7349 you know what im gonna say.
@@agonleed3841 if your movie is r-rated, you're going to have less kids watching it. it's a basic fact.
@@agonleed3841 After leaving the theatre, I basically described it as “Rambo for Women.” My Mom loved this movie and I hated it and worried it would teach her “toxic femininity”-basically a role-reversal of when my Dad or I would take her to a very masculine movie. Most of my problems with this movie have more to do with the storytelling-if women want a “woman good, man bad” movie, why not give it to them, so long as they’re not under the delusion that I’ll enjoy it too.
The sad thing is in the Animated DC Movies involving Harley Quinn, she's extremely witty, capable and a skilled fighter. Where in the DC Live action, she's portrayed as careless, arrogant, full of dumb luck, and is bad just because she's bad. She's very 1 dimensional in Live action so far. Her Animated and Comic Book counterparts, are much better!
She's so different from suicide squad Harley the actress even changed the voice. I feel like they could have worked with suicide squad Harley and tweaked the character a bit instead of changing it so much where its seems like its two different characters. I wonder if she will go back to acting like she did in the first suicide squad for the second movie or act like captain Jack sparrow. And you gotta love how a character who laughed of a guy hitting a women cause she talked to much in suicide squad to all of the sudden a feminist icon in this movie.
@@Ilovegrunge123 I don't think shes gonna change back, im pretty sure the point was that she was different without the joker
I agree but in comics she relies on her luck A LOT. And does dumb things just for the sake of it.
Yea true
Because you fail to grasp nuance of her character does not mean the film failed. Your brain failed.
It's funny that Margot Robbie is in the new Pirates of the Carribbean movie when this one is called an imposter Deadpool Jack Sparrow movie 😂
Jack Sparrow is, of course, essentially a genderswapped Harley Quinn in the first place.
I always like how you gave them logical suggestions when it came to bad parts of the movie. I'm having a good time here watching.
It really pisses me off that we finally got the right actress to play the live-action Harley, she does a great job, and the scripts are completely unworthy of all her effort. Knowing this doesn't make it better, it just means we blame the right people now.
Blame the actress Margott shes the one who chose a director who doesn't have much credibility because she wanted to give a women a chance to direct and a writer who has temper tantrum's on twitter
@@Ilovegrunge123 Which makes the whole thing even sadder. Margot is a phenomenal actress who could portray the shit out of an actually interesting interpretation of Harley, but all she cared about was a dumb genderflipped action film. She shouldn’t have to rely on herself to get her to her full potential, and she should definitely be above working with an agenda. If she respects her own talents and this amazing character she’s portraying, she could do a hell of a lot better than this.
@Mark Just shows how small minded you are
I guess we can all agree that DC is trash, and it tries soooo hard to be Marvel, but fails every single time... They should stick with making Joaquin Phoenix's Joker movies, because that's basically the ONLY thing they got going on.
She sure as fuck ismt the right actress
Ewan McGregor before Birds of Prey: I promise I won’t get political.

Yeah I remember loving this movie while watching it, the visuals were really cool, Harley was fun, but then when it ended I was just like “. . That’s it? Wait no really that’s it? They’re not pulling my leg?” Cause when it ended it felt like it had just started. The entire movie feels like an hour long beginning half or even quarter of a movie. It’s all build up. Also I hated the kid. She was just annoying.
Same, I had a fun time watching it but the ending felt so rushed, and the way black mask was killed off just felt kinda boring
Harley: "I think it's time to get drunk now."
Jack: "That's my secret: I'm always drunk."
I actually liked the portrayal of Huntress. She's a woman with a tragic past; she lost her entire family during childhood and since then had trained to become a highly skilled fighter and seek vengeance on those who murdered her family. However, because she was so preoccupied with that, she lacks the right social skills. This is proven when she loses her composure in front of Harley and others when trying to sound tough. She even awkwardly practices her own badass one liners in the mirror. It's quite interesting seeing a strong, determined woman be sort of the awkward one in a group. It's something different that just didn't get enough screentime.
So kinda like Endevour form My Hero Aka. tough, brutal, scary exterior covering awkward personality not fitting in.
I loved huntress in this 😢
YOU SIR ARE SAFE!
She is Ramona as well
I also loved her
It could been a good movie if they showed the abusive relationship of Harley Quinn and the Joker, which leads to the break up and than makes her fight against the Joker or Batman together with Catwoman and Poison Ivy.
I mean if it plays shortly after Suicide Squad the Break up doesn’t make sense since Joker breaks Harley free, kills people who insults her and shows affection to her. Also Suicide Squads Harley Quinn is introduced as one of the murderers of Robin, so why doesn’t she just kill the girl?
Another movie where people hate on it just because it's the trendy thing to do. MARK MY WORDS,this movie will be appreciated with time.
Well I hate the movie and it has nothing to do with being trendy whatsoever they took some of my favorite DC characters and turned them into forgettable and unfunny characters don't mind Margot Robbie even though she is really cringe in this film but the rest are dumb adaptations of otherwise great characters.
@@claytonveno3710 hmm real women with real issues instead of the usual super natural trash marvel does is cringe and forgettable. okay :D
I also heard that in the original script, Black Mask doesn’t die. Instead an explosion melts his mask permanently to his face.
@@Niop_Tres yeah when I saw him get blown up in the cinemas I was confused. I hadn’t heard of or read about any changes the ending
My advice:
Just watch the Harley Quinn animated series on the DC streaming service.
Or any DC animation for that matter. They rock, all of them!
That's one of the best animated TV shows I've ever seen! Avatar The Last Airbender and Castlevania are right up there as well. Holy Shit, what a great TV show.

@@jakelee7083 That's fair. Perhaps a rephrase is in order--I thought it was really weakly written and structured *for the company it was placed in*. Compared to your average movie, it was fine.

Birds of Prey:
"Suggested for lesbian audiences".
This is the tag that will move us forward as a whole.
Truly one of the great performances of cinema. His character arc, Shakespearean. His social commentary, on par with Henrik Ibsen. The tragedy of his inevitable downfall rivals the destruction of Valhalla. All given by a masterful actor of such versitily and nuance who captivates the audience with a daring attack on the scene I have yet to see duplicated. Such an inspired performance and character that tackels the very essance of humanity is nothing short of transformative.

For some reason the final action scene where the entire team assembles to fight random goons was the most boring, uninteresting, uninspired fight scene I've seen in a while.
Honestly though, with Harley's character it's entirely possible to right an interesting movie with a running gag of Harley not getting to do something as simple as eat a delicious sandwich. Think about Harley's Holiday, a delightful Batman TAS episode that exploded out of a released Harley Quinn trying to buy a new dress on her first day out of Arkham Asylum.
They did every member of the Birds of Prey dirty in this movie. Harley goes from a doctor obsessed with the joker to a drunk idiot. Black Canary goes from a young woman trained by her detective father to become a police officer turning to being a vigilante to being a bar singer. Renee Montoya goes from being a young capable police officer who eventually takes up the mantle of The Question to a middle aged woman obsessed with 80s movies. Cassandra Cain was butchered so badly that it isn't even worth talking about. The only one who is even remotely close to being as good as their original character is Huntress.
