Fanboy Rewrites "Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)"

Hey everyone, I know a lot is going on in the world right now, and it's kind of a strange time to be posting a video like this. But I figured that sometimes a bit of escapism from the insanity and the horror is a good thing, even if it's just for... holy shit 27 minutes?? I made a 27 minute movie review in the middle of a fucking pandemic are you kidding me??? In all seriousness, I know it's all really scary right now. It can be easy to forget what's important in the middle of all this worldwide pandemic stuff. Remember to take cake of yourself and be safe. Stay indoors unless completely necessary, practice social distancing, and wash your hands (and your phone) after you touch a surface that could potentially be infected. But in addition to that, take care of yourself mentally too. It's easy to ignore, but this is all going to strain every one of you emotionally and I think it's important to be mindful of the things you care about. Take a second to breathe and relax. Remind a loved one that they're important to you. And for the love of god, stop buying all of the GODDAMN TOILET PAPER. Love you guys, and it's all going to be ok. I promise.

I think birds of prey and Harley Quinn should have been two separate movies

The emotion when you are about to talk about Black Canary? M O O D

Imagine if Condiment King was in this. Played by “Weird Al” Yankovic, of course.

Dude, in the comic scene of Cassandra Cain you're talking about, she became one of my favourite comic character ever. She deserved so much more. To me she should have been our Cass in the movie. Pretending to be an "innocent" girl to take out black mask, before in the end, with no one noticing while Harley and the BoP would have been in danger, changing into her batgirl or orphan persona to destroy black mask and his goons

The point about heroes and body counts is so true. Lots of movies have their heroes care about avoiding casualties one second, then kill a bunch of nameless randoms the next. One of my gripes with Black Panther (otherwise a movie I love) is T'Challa switching on a dime from "we can't afford a shootout" to "let's leave crushed and mangled body strewn across a major city".

"I wanted to see more of Harley, more of Montoya, more of Huntress, more of Black Canary" Cassandra crying in the corner for being absolutely inaccurate

Honestly big changes would be either get rid of Cassandra Cain, rename the character, or make her actually Cassandra Cain. Because that is not Cain, which is really annoying. Spoilers: Don’t kill Black Mask, like wtf

I agree with you man as a birds of prey movie it's okay but as a Harley Quinn movie it's fun

I really didn't like this film. I had some faith that the movie would've turned out better, but I was wrong. Cassandra Cain shouldn't have been in this film because they got her character completely wrong. Also, the marketing wasn't that great either(I think this is the main reason a lot of people don't support this film).

There NEEDS to be a Green Arrow and the Black Canary video game. Something open world like Spider-Man PS4 and with a joint character system like Assassins Creed Syndicate so you can walk around as Green Arrow or Black Canary. There can be side missions where it doesn’t matter which character you play as and main missions for a specific character. You can have custom outfits, and each character would have different play styles, combat moves, vehicles (like Canary’s motorcycle) powers and talents. There are so many Green Arrow and Black Canary villains that could be used to keep the game fun, and honestly, Black Canary and Green Arrow just deserve better. They aren’t in that many pieces of media beyond Birds of prey (the movie and show) the Arrow verse show (which wasn’t that good for like half the seasons and Oliver doesn’t even end up with Dinah also he was so uptight and one note the dude was Batman with a bow) and they appear sometimes in the animated shows and they’re like never in the movies. Idk I’d play it I’m sure lots of other DC fans would play thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

We can hear Troy’s excitement when he talks about black canary. It’s like a second Christmas morning

I didn’t like this movie that much, I thought it had a few great things in it but was overall pretty mediocre. However, calling it an “SJW movie” or “feminist propaganda” is completely ignorant and intellectually dishonest. Edit: Holy shit, you watch My Hero Academia?! Hell yeah!

To be honest, having Harley Quinn as A feministic character and The Main Character overall felt unnecessary. Since The movie was supposed to focus on the Birds Of Prey group, Wouldn't it be better if Harley Quinn was replaced with A more appropriate choice for A lead character? It should be some DC Hero we haven't seen before on the big screen, Some hero who can help The Birds Of Prey to take down Black Mask while Batman's probably busy. My choice as the lead character to replace Harley would be Barbara Gordon/Batgirl. I think that Batgirl can fit and work as The Main character, especially since DC to me should use her in a live-action Batman Movie, If it's done right, of course. How It would work is that we would see that Barbara Gordon is often overshadowed by the men in her life. I don't mean it in a full-feministic way, but sort of exploring Barbara's life as Batgirl and out of her hero persona. We would see how She's considered an Amateur sidekick to Batman and also explore her relationship with her father Jim Gordon, Played by JK Simmons to be exact. That casting choice for JK Simmons as Jim Gordon was badass to me, it's A damn shame he made one appearance in Justice League though... Black Mask would be after Batgirl's Barbara Gordon persona but not her Batgirl persona because Roman Sionis wants revenge against Commissioner Gordon and The G.C.P.D For the many times they attempted to take him & his criminal empire down so He goes after his daughter to break him. The Birds Of Prey team would consist of The Huntress, Black Canary, and Thea Queen/Speedy. The reason why they're in the film is that they want to take down Black Mask's criminal empire as well so Barbara Gordon/Batgirl would sort of convince them to work with her to take Him down together, which would be a big break for Batgirl and the Birds Of Prey group. As for Commissioner Gordon, he doesn't know whether or not to trust the Birds Of Prey team since he thinks they could be a threat but eventually discovers that they're on the good-guy side. Also, I find Batgirl to be a far more appropriate choice since she's In The group after all and I think Batgirl would be a better character For A "Girl-Power" Kind of DC movie. What do you think of that Idea for the movie instead? To me, It would mean that The Birds Of Prey can feel more complete and we can forget about Harley and Joker's awful performances in Suicide Squad...Also, I think it would feel like an ACTUAL Birds of Prey film. Plus, We can explore Harley Quinn-focused stories later going forward, Maybe In A Gotham City Sirens movie which I think would've been better. What do you think of that?

Dude Black Canary had a sexy voice when she sings.

There isn't a single review of this movie that trashes it based on the fact that women were the stars, or in the director's chair.

I’m gonna say that you can’t rewrite The Birds Of Prey because it has no value. In a cinematic universe. You need to tell a full story through different stories.

If I could say something that bothered me in that amusement park action scene with Barracuda in the background is that it's just a decently well choreographed action scene with a good song thrown in there, I feel like action scenes should have a better connection with the music, like the pool cue scene in Shaun of the Dead with Don't Stop Me Now(or any scene ever made by Edgar Wright) or the Church scene in Kingsman with the Free Bird solo in the background

This man literally just denied cannon just because.

You say your a Birds of prey comic fan yet You say huntress is good even tho she acts or looks nothing like huntress and Black Mask is not acurate and you write up all the criticisms as sexist nerds okay dude suuuure
