Here we go!! Okay, so just immediately, the song and the voice over and the animated opening set the stage SO WELL. I was sold so quickly. #bitchesofprey #birdsofprey
I LOVE JOAN JETT AND THIS IS A PERFECT NEEDLE DROP. Okay, they’re all perfect. Every musical cue in this movie is absolutely perfect. #bitchesofprey #birdsofprey
Okay, two things with the Ace Chemicals scene. FIRST, this song is amazing. I& #39;m so glad they decided to turn Harley& #39;s theme into an actual song. Joke& #39;s On You really captures a LOT about the character. #bitchesofprey
SECOND, I don& #39;t think it was necessarily intentional (though if it was @CathyYan please tell me) but Harley blowing up Ace is more than just cathartic for the character. It& #39;s also cathartic for comic fans. #bitchesofprey
Harley& #39;s original origin didn& #39;t involve the chemical plant. That was retconned much later and took away almost ALL of her agency because Joker threw her in. It wasn& #39;t a choice. And now it& #39;s gone. #bitchesofprey
And now that that& #39;s out I can yell about how much I love the decision to use oners instead of cuts in several scenes. This movie is pop art noir and it& #39;s perfectly suited for that kind of motion. #bitchesofprey
More comic stuff! Roman is a great villain! He& #39;s bland as hell in the comics but he DOES want to run all of Gotham& #39;s crime families. #BOP gives him a personality perfect for that kind of need. It& #39;s angry rich white boy with a fragile ego. #bitchesofprey
Wanna talk about the non-linear format? I know it& #39;s by design to mimic Harley& #39;s scattered personality, but it also serves the purpose of spreading out the exposition and the action sequences. It& #39;s messy in a way that feels extremely intentional. Yay good plotting! #bitchesofprey
This movie is full of great suits. Someone get all of them for me. #bitchesofprey
I still don& #39;t know if they credited Black Canary and Jurnee separately on the soundtrack intentionally, but in my head she is backed by her actual band from the comics. #bitchesofprey
How hard is it to act drunk and slur your words in a different accent? Asking for a friend. #bitchesofprey
So I& #39;ve replayed a couple DC games since this came out (DCUO has a #BOP episode dropping next week) and it& #39;s weird that they all have subservient Harley dating Joker. Like, I get it, but also no. We& #39;re past that now. #bitchesofprey
THIS LEG MOVE THOUGH. #bitchesofprey
This. But also, this is so much what the #BOP comics were in their best moments. Huntress didn& #39;t like Babs but she respected her and would always help troubled kids. Dinah would ALWAYS stop someone taking advantage of another person, especially women. #bitchesofprey https://twitter.com/BitchesonComics/status/1249057898614804480">https://twitter.com/Bitcheson...
Everyone& #39;s favorite line is "These diamonds are my THINGS." But mine is "I LIKE crossbows!" #bitchesofprey
Oh, you mean the fragile misogynist twerp is also a colonialist nightmare man? I& #39;m shocked. It& #39;s like he& #39;s all the worst versions of people. #bitchesofprey
Wait, guys, I figured out who Roman reminds me of. #bitchesofprey
"I want to kill you, because without the Joker around, I can." THIS IS WHY HE& #39;S SO FUCKING SCARY. #bitchesofprey
Oh look, another perfect song. How many of these were written FOR the movie? #bitchesofprey
She nails this "no one is like me" monologue so perfectly. I almost had emotions. #bitchesofprey
The way Cass says "bathtub" makes me think that& #39;s the part she& #39;s confused about. Not the hyena. I have questions. #bitchesofprey

Hi, the word soothe is gross now. #bitchesofprey
I never identified with Helena in the comics, but boy howdy do I in this movie. "WHAT IS HAPPENING WHY IS EVERYONE SAYING SO MANY WORDS CAN I LEAVE NOW?" #bitchesofprey
So where are we gonna cut when Huntress is stabbing the dude in the slide? I dunno, how about when she and the dude COLLIDE WITH THE CAMERA OPERATOR. #bitchesofprey
CANARY. CRY. #bitchesofprey
I, too, am bad at compliments. #bitchesofprey
