The Suicide Squad: 22 WTF Moments

14. Harley (Almost) Gets Married...But Kills Him Instead

The Suicide Squad Harley Quinn

Perhaps the most bizarre subplot in the entire movie occurs when Harley Quinn is captured by Corto Maltese's dictator Silvio Luna (Juan Diego Botto), who has her put on a red dress and come meet with him.

Luna invites her to lunch and the pair enjoy a strangely romantic day, ending with Luna proposing marriage to her.

He further explains that his people think he needs to marry someone with as antagonistic a relationship with the U.S. as himself, and she was suggested.

The pair then have hilariously rough sex before Harley shoots him dead, telling his corpse that his megalomaniacal plans were a "red flag" for her, as she's trying to shed herself of toxic men these days.

As a thumbing of the nose at Harley's awful prior relationship with The Joker, it was great to see her establishing her own agency, though the resulting bloodshed reminded audiences of her prevailing psychopathy.
