Reminder that Harley Quinn is not actually a qualified psychiatrist.
>>143338671Makes sense. Wasn't this retconned?
>>143340095I don't know that it was ever officially retconned. More that writers never read her original origin and so they write her she did learn stuff in college and wasn't just trying to become a celebrity like Dr. Oz or Dr. Phil.
>>143340128This. And her dyke writers say absolutely retarded shit like “she has three phds in neuroscience” (which has nothing to do with psychology) or have her yell at Dr Fate and tell him how he’s pathetic for calling himself a dr without a degree when people like her had to “earn” it (for reference, Dr Fate actually is a doctor and actually does have a degree, in actual medical practice and not pop psychology, they retconned that to make Harley look good)
>>143340095It actually makes less sense, getting doctorate isn't like a high school term paper guys.
>>143338671Has Harly ever been a demon or possessed?The Harlequin archtype comes from the comedia de l'arte, and wad based on demonic or devil characters from medieval Passion Plays. The hat is supposed to be horns.
>>143340095I never subscribed to her sleeping all the way through college. It's more believable she used it to get a better grade here and there. Too many different classes and teachers that she'd have to seduce and do so for years without being caught. Sounds more believable in a porn comic where everyone is horny and corrupt with no exception.
>>143338671>>143340095>>143340128>>143340299>>143340609Read Harleen by Sejic. Actually has a good comprise
>>143340277>for reference, Dr Fate actually is a doctor and actually does have a degree, in actual medical practice and not pop psychology, they retconned that to make Harley look goodSure, but would Harley know that?
>>143338671I prefer a bit of both. Legit psychiatrist but had to cheat to get good enough scores for a placement at Arkham.
>>143338671What do you call a doctor who was last in their class?
Harley was intended to be a dumb blonde that easily fell for Joker's bullshit because she's an actual dumbass. She was always a gullible quack.
Same story where she murdered 6 million metropolians and got away with it for having a vaginaSomeone torture this rancid whore already, please
>>143338671Reminder Capeshit comics are dead.
>>143340299>"philosophy" doctorate>real doctorship
>>143341289She's not getting a doctorate in philosophy dummy.
>>143340095This was only ever BTAS canon and there was nothing to retcon because the cartoon cut this scene for time/content reasons.
>>143341289>Anon thinks psychology is philosophyNice gif
>>143341340No, her first series had her make up for her dogshit grades by seducing the head of her school’s Psychiatric program.
>>143341635Sort of. When Paul Dini introduced her, he had her say she slept her way through med school. Then when Kesel wrote her solo he ignored all that and had her blackmail her professor with a recording that made it sound like they were having an affair.
