Tumblr was upset during the final season.

But the finale was a rushed mess and featured a major asspull.
I don't have problem with that just the weirder reasons for their frustration even I had a lot of problems with the second half

That Ivy account is run by a loon, best not pay too much attention.
Eh recently while don't agree i can sort of see unlike poison ivy due to D.C. recently building her up outside of joker and becoming more independent and her recovery from domestic abusive relationship
In Suicide squad ....。... She's quirky?

I got around to read Doom Patrol vol 1. by Gerard Way & Derington this evening. Would have been last night but I watched Kong instead (which was really awesome!). Yea, I really liked that. Totally new to Doom Patrol so not only was I navigating the kooky plot and delivery, the characters in general were all new to me, so it was an interesting experience. What I loved is that on one level, it's this twisty dense heady at times kinda meta story-within-a-story that you can really take in page to page and unpack, and pick apart. And then at the same time it's just delightfully wacky, very heartfelt and colourful and it's saying to you - hey, this is pretty confusing right now but just roll with the broad strokes, don't worry about it too much. It walks a tight rope between the two, and it goes a long way imo to placing your trust in the team that they will pay everything off if you are feeling confused. The whole team work brilliantly in tandem, and the art just brings the whole thing to life, I don't think I could garner the same enthusiasm for this book without the right art to drive and deliver such a energetic world, but Derington & Bonvillain kill it.
2 for 2 with YA then, really great stuff. I would probably pick Shade (or Megan) in a knife fight, but honestly why pick when you could just have both these books.

Injustice Harley is probably the best way to go about it. She's secretly the best Robin.
"You ever gonna trust me 100%?"
"I don't trust anyone that much."
"Riiiiight....I'll settle for 80."
There is escaping from an abusive relationship and there is allowing yourself to be dominated by a psychopath and being a willing accomplice in his crimes.

The Scaramouche subplot was pointless and the off-screen death of The Guardian.
Yeah I don't care for suicide squad
Jason Aaron Legacy interview from a little while back: http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/08/15/witness-the-avengers-1000000-bc-assemble-for-the-first-time
he confirms that there won't be a
reveal and gives tiny teases about his next book.
Those people either have issues or don't really know much about the characters.

Miracleman

That and the second half or at least third felt rushed

It's a shame, because the final season had an impressive start, but it all went downhill when the story focused on Jack and Ashi's short-lived and abrupt relationship.
I'd argue she is doing way more harm than good to Ivy.
They aren't going to change that team while is sells like it does.

Yes, because Harley Quinn is so vital in a fight against Doctor freakin' Manhattan.
Come on now.

We have Renee Montoya, Batwoman, Cassandra Cain, Supergirl, Superwoman, and Lois Lane, but nope it's Harley and Ivy who are the true heroines of feminism.
I'm not asking for a Harley to jump back into an event. I simply want a Harley Quin ongoing that Gels with how she is in simply very other book in the dc line. I want something akin tTo that Harley/Ivy webcomic that Sejic made.

To the kind of person who thinks that, that list would be "Who?", "I thought it was Batgirl.", "Who?", CW Show, "Isn't that the same as the last one?" and Not A Batman Character.
The webcomic that is completely at odds with how Harley is portrayed in suicide squad? That's the main DC Harley and I love that webcomic but no.
I like suicide Hsrley too. I just want an ongoing that's a bit more serious, it'd not like they couldn't run them in tandem.

Wonder Woman was so obvious though. Donna Troy deserves a mention.

This is weird. Her fans really want her to be an anti-hero like Harley.

Emma Frost and Mystique are fine examples of positive female role models.
I think the movie put a nail in that coffin fairly well
Mystique is a psycho.
Emma Frost is good at heart, she just hides it behind a veil of bitchiness.
Emma is my favourite X-men character so I am biased though.
How do you think it compares to Umbrella Academy (UA was Way writing Doom Patrol without it actually being Doom Patrol)?
Doom Patrol and Shade both exist in the same place where if they had different art teams I don't think either would be near as good, Derington/Bonvillain and Zarcone/Fitzpatrick both bring such strong visual identities to their respective books.
And Casey has the single best origin issue of any superhero ever. That entire sequence was just pitch perfect amazing.

Emma has mind raped people and committed mass murder.
I'm gonna have to ask for a source on the mass murder.
Steph in the back there.<3
That is a lot there on that cover.
Yanick Paquette is pretty good.Guys it's obviously the Queen Carol Danvers
What about Starfire
Yeah why is Wonder Woman instead of Donna who fits there
So you're saying she's a member of the X-Men.

Everything there is a hotmess.
Like, I can see the positive aspects of her: a woman in complete control of her sexuality and how sexual she is, not too mention dominant nature of that. The problem is that it mind-control is typically involved and there's some incredibly dark implications there.
It's the abusive relationship aspect, but in ordwr for that to work you then have to ignore how she's a psychosexual, hypermanipulative, homicidal maniac who knew exactly what she was getting into and stayed in it knowing full well what it was. She willingly committed herself to an abusive relationship, causing a lot of intentional damage to others. She's a psycho.
Mind rape is also questionable.
There is nothing heroic about her.
Vixen and Black Canary

She didn't kill any. Attempted, though.
For the casual fans it would be laurel and Vicente is a decent side character on legends
