Harley Quinn is a TV series that on paper shouldn't have worked and yet not only did it work out really well it's also spawned three seasons with a fourth on the way and a spin off show that's currently in development. The show has also just spawned it's very first special and it's a holiday special that's tackling a holiday that not alot of TV shows tackle and so then join me as I review the special that is the very kind of special that you'd expect from this show with the special in question being called simply just "Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine's Day Special" enjoy.
The plot of this special is Harley wants to give Ivy her best valentines day ever all the while Bane just wants a date. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad with this specials plot being the kind of plot that you'd expect from an episode of this show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this very special is this shows executive producer Kaley Cuoco as Harley Quinn and Lake Bell as Poison Ivy. Also starring in this special is Alan Tudyk as Clayface , James Adomian as Bane , Chris Diamantopoulos as Aquaman , Josh Helman as Captain Boomerang , Michael Ironside as Darkseid , Vanessa Marshall as Wonder Woman , Natalie Morales as Lois Lane , Jim Rash as The Riddler and James Wolk as Superman.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty really good. With all of this specials cast turning in some really funny performances which really shouldn't be all that surprising since this cast has been playing these characters for quite a few years at this point in time.
Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and he greats that are currently over at Digital eMation and Maven. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad with this specials animation being alot better then what it really had any right to be.
As to be expected this special does has alot of romance in it and as to be expected it's done in a way that is very in keeping with this show. In that it's done in a way that's both incredibly funny and incredibly sweet and at the same time both adult and childish which really does make the romance in this special seem all the more sweet and honest because of the fact that it's done in a way that's true to the show and that also means that the characters can also act in character and not act out of character just fir this one special.
While Bane's plot line is incredibly fun and is perfect for this take on the character it's also a plot line that's not really needed for this special. Since it adds nothing to the actual plot of the special and is there just for the sake of being their which is a shame because his plot line is incredibly funny and it's his scenes that I actively looked forward to since I knew that I was going to get a laugh out of his scenes but just because his plot line is entertaining it doesn't mean that it's needed in this very special and as such this very special could have done without this plot line at all.
The comedy that we got in this special was really good for the most part since there was alot of really good jokes in this special. However at the exact same time tho there was alot of really unfunny jokes as well like for example this special does a parody of I think the american office which is not only not that funny but it's also incredibly dated as well but when the special does indeed tell a good joke you really do know it like for example there's a really funny censorship joke in this special which just suits this special perfectly.
Now then this special has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty four minuets and fifty nine seconds. While this special really doesn't have alot of story their to cover that large amount of running time it does make as much use of that running time as it possibly could do which was something that made this special feel just that special and not just another episode of this show and i;d like future episodes to have this longer running time just because it would allow the show makers to tell more epic stories.
So now then since this is an action special that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in sll honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that thew actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad. Since this specials main focus isn't the action it's the romance having action that's just OK does oddly enough make alot of sense but when we do get a really cool action scene it is something that's wildly inventive and different from what we've seen before in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this special is quite easily alot better then a certain other adult animated series that's also airing on HBO Max but at the same time there's nothing about this special that advances the overall storyline of the show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very special in this very review and as such that means that this special earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Harley Quinn fandom wiki page , the official Scooby-Doo fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the official Harley Quinn fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official Harley Quinn fandom wiki page are all really fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being really very fairly freaking high in definition.
