Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn: Fan Reactions About S2 Harley Quinn Ending

Harley Quinn Season 2 ends with a bang. After a Blake Edwards style mess of a wedding Harley and Ivy decide to run away in pursue of hapiness and love together (while being pursued by the GCPD!!!). Expect a ful review as well as a lot more coverage to the show soon! 

According to a SYFYWIRE interview with the show producers their plan is to keep the relationship in future seasons and not erase/remove it.
"Yes. Yeah, absolutely, If we're lucky enough to get a Season 3, and we truly don't know yet, but if we are, we're not going to walk it back. They're a couple."
This is an important step forward in a time where DC Comics has come under heavy criticism by LGBTQ+ fans for erasing Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy as a romantic couple from their main line comics books like Harley Quinn and Batman and editing out mentions of their relationship from product descriptions and comics.


If you like the show and want to see more, remember to tweet #RenewHarleyQuinn at @HBOMax and @TheDCUniverse to voice your support!

But what do LGBTQ+ fans think about the finale? It's important to give fans a platform to express their feelings and thoughts in a non hierarchical way with respect and equality. The article will be updated with your opinions, so enjoy the ride!!!

"I've been waiting for that kiss since 1993.
Not innuendo. Not nudges and winks. Not gay for the stay.
Fully engaged unambiguous romance between two principal female characters
It's not a ship we have to defend. It's canon now. It's normalized. That is so huge."

"It was a long time coming, but seeing it actually happen like that, on screen with the grand romantic trappings we've all been writing headcanons about for years made me tear up. Feels like a massive victory #HarlivyisEndgame #RenewHarleyQuinn

"Ivy finally acknowledged her feelings for Harley and agreed to be a couple with her. This was expressed through their first meaningful kiss. And I was so happy when it happened"

"It made me feel so happy to see their relationship finally be official on the show like it was in the comics before the bullshit happened. It was a moment in this season filled with queer content goodness that gave me hope in my own life as a queer woman."

"The fact Ivy finally wanted to kiss Harley out of pure love made my heart skip a beat. Now she knows Harley really cares about her so the fear finally broke apart and let the "romantic" love flow to Harley. The kiss just confirmed it.
Thank you for that."

"As someone who is bisexual, this entire season gave me hope for proper LGBT representation and the final episode made me cry not only because I was very much rooting for Harlivy, but because LGBT representation in modern TV and movies is usually very inaccurate."

"Not to mention, they almost always have the same storyline:
They’re messy, unhealthy, complicated, always on the ropes, usually done just for the sake of sex, and in the end they almost always end the same way.
Death, divorce or breakup. 
All of which are unhealthy tropes."

"Exactly. This one ended on a happy note, which is how all LGBT romance stories should end. I don't mind if that's how they start, but they shouldn't end the story like that."

"EXACTLY!!!!
And in the DC universe nonetheless, which is HUGE. Because we all know how dark and gritty the DC universe is.
And I’m a straight guy saying all this. I’m sick of a one-sided romantic view.
It’s time we got representation like this FAR more often."

"Not to mention, we’ve gotten confirmation that this relationship will not walk backwards. They’re not gonna break up, and they’re not gonna divorce.
They’re a couple, and they’re gonna stay together. Which is an extra grape on the double-fudge cake."

"The kiss meant a lot to me. Not just as a Harlivy shipper but also as someone who is bisexual himself. The whole build up to this kiss was so beautiful. I personally believe that your soulmate should also be your best friend and that's exactly the case here."

"It meant the world to me.
I was a fan ever since that episode of the animated series.
While reading about is nice to see it fully voiced, it to actually become canon,
was a dream come true for me.
They are characters that need each so much and now they are together.
Love wins"

Some fans disagreed by the way things turned up for Kiteman, we will post our thoughts in our review

"I felt like at least in this universe of Harley Quinn we kinda got to see a really complicated relationship with Ivy and Harley we don't really see in normal comic media, Harley trying to get back her Friends & Ivy especially.
The part I don't like though is I felt like ivy was justified in not wanting anything to do with Harley especially after a lot of the stuff she pulled, she recognized that Harley was a horrible influence and still had attachment issues with joker so she left and decided to pursue kiteman in a relationship because that's what she wanted at the time, they had a fight over her not wanting to be seen with him and she realized she was being incredibly immature about the situation so she went to apologize personally to him Harley responded with basically stalking her and then it all concluded in kiteman just saying "no, this isn't right." Because he realized that ivy still loved harley more.
tHEN H&I RESPONDED WITH GETTING BACK TOGETHER AGAIN completely screwing kiteman imo."
