I love it, it's got decent politics (and is at least explicitly anti-cop, with Harley busting up a police station and calling them piggies, one of the only building numbers shown is 1312 , the cop character's arc being about how the force protects criminals and leading up to her quitting, etc), embraces the idea that Women Hot without being creepy about it (as opposed to the male gaze directorial work I'm used to needing to put up with especially in superhero movies), and it doesn't take itself too seriously.
It's a lot of fun imo, though I could see how the non-linear storytelling and its more heavily character-driven narrative could be a turn off for some people
Not great. But it was better than Suicide Squad. A lot more focus on Harley and a kind of weaving narrative type story. Ewan McGregor as Black Mask is excellent, though
Kate McKinnon is a horrible person IRL as well. I know writers who worked with her and she counted how many words she had in SNL skits and threw a tantrum if she didn't have the most. She also would demand more update characters and frequently said things like "people only watch this show for me " during rehearsals. This is how she ended up doing the Hillary "Hallelujah" opening and why she played RBG so often. Her jealousy is also why Lorne started using older outside performers like Alec Baldwin for weekly roles because she didn't complain about them.
She would also undermine other less confident performers by pulling a face whenever anyone else spoke to try and steal all the attention she could in the scene. I'm always surprised more people didn't pick up on her doing that.
By all accounts she was intensely disliked (idk if she's still there) by everyone except Lorne.
The tweet's wrong, the only Women Superheroes(tm) movie that exists is Birds of Prey
I just want to clarify that I mean this unironically, Birds of Prey is good folks
I thought BoP was horrible lol
That's fine, it's okay to not like things.
