Video Description

Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy are some of the most iconic comic book characters of all time. They're often regarded as one of the best romantic couples in comics...but according to YouTuber JesterBell, they're the worst relationship of all time. Worse than Mary Jane and Paul. Worse than Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. So...WHY? Why does JesterBell feel fans and writers have ruined this character? And why is the runtime for this video so long? Special thanks to @LadyEmilyPresents because I definitely cited her video on Harley and Ivy a few times making this.
