I meant to type animation not comic.

And the New 52 comics were so godawful and widely hated. Of all the comic iterations to pick they could have picked literally any other one.
I've seen cooler Harley redesigns on Twitter since the movie came out.

Wow a whole 5 minutes!! Poor guy. Ok, but take the feeling you had seeing that and times it by a thousand. That's what women have to put up with watching a lot of 2 hour movies. *points to a certain recently released movie*

Oh good lord are we really going to get into this again. Christ I do not have the strength. Original animation Harley Quinn is a wildly complex character and beloved but women for a reason, movie Harley Quinn was reduced to a quip spouting literal-manic pixie dream girl, filmed more like a pinup than a person by a

Gay porn?

There are a handful of examples where men are cast for looks and sex appeal specifically over everything else, but they're a handful in an ocean of serious and meaty roles. When men are put in those roles, they also tend not to be exploitative either, it's done with a good dash of tongue in cheek humor and stays on

Until we see oily 25 year old twinks in ass shorts turning up in movies as sex objects in place of other guy characters then I shouldn't have to explain the difference.

I'm pretty sure that's sweat, not oil. It was ridiculously hot in Rio last night.

Of course women are able to take big roles that aren't horribly objectifying. And lots of serious actors, both male and female, dance in between deep dramatic roles and big blockbusters nowadays, that's nothing unusual or anything to criticise. Amber Heard was wonderful in The Danish Girl and Magic Mike, next year

Seeing Jennifer Garner on all fours talking to a cat in this movie makes my soul cry. Someone please help her.

I have so much trouble comprehending the fact that this surely must have been the only offer on her table. Are things really that bad right now, Jen? Can we send donations somewhere?

Babies and a' raisin' em. Hard to get back into good roles when you're a woman who left acting to be a mom. When you come back that's all they'll let you play.

I knew I recognized her! She's a little cutie. I can't wait for that series.

Oh god she's his wife in this movie? I thought she was meant to be his daughter or his house keeper! Hollywood can't even cast age appropriate love interests in a talking cat movie.

An actress can choose to objectify herself, yes. Robbie has been making those choices, which are hers to make.

Define "looks"? Looks are subjective. Anyone can be objectified when the power is in the hands of the viewer rather than the viewed.

No, empowering vs objectified usually isn't that hard to work out if you have even a small amount of common sense. There are grey areas, but it shouldn't be that hard to know when someone is being exploited over empowered.

Suicide Squad needs to make over $800 million to be profitable and may not being playing in China, which would be a disaster. If WB don't restructure again after Suicide Squad inevitably fails to get close to a billion I'll be very surprised. If that Harley Quinn/Birds of Prey movie ever happens I will even more

Mhum. I've heard of other actresses turning down roles or walking out of auditions they weren't comfortable with. An actress will be in communication with her agent and having conversations about the kind of image they agree they want to create for her. It's not like actresses have to take literally anything that
