Many book friends reacted fiercely to this point. I read those two chapters again. It’s not your problem. I have to apologize. It’s because I didn’t write it clearly.
What is missing is the unfavorable environment she was in when she was eating Fatty: her green light energy defense level is eight, and she is at the critical moment of reaching level nine.
As you can see, Harley had level 8 green light energy defense very early, but never upgraded to level 9, because when she turned on the level 9 upgrade, she absorbed too much energy, and the movement must have been huge, attracting the attention of the little blue man.
Let me sort out the order of her actions for everyone:
1. The energy of the green light has been upgraded to level eight, and you can move freely;
2. Found Fathead Shark and invited him to merge with it. Fathead refused because he knew that after giving power to Harley, she would destroy the Green Lantern Corps;
3. Parallax Monster offered to merge with her. Fatty advised her not to listen to Parallax Monster. Harley agreed with a smile. In fact, what was she thinking when she sat next to Parallax Monster and absorbed the energy of the yellow light?
She has decided to eat the Parallax monster.
She needs strength, and the Parallax monster can provide energy, but the Parallax monster is not trustworthy. He is not an innocent person like Fat Head. I don’t know if you have noticed, but Harley’s inner activities and little tricks were going on when she first met Fat Head.
In Chapter 501
****************
It did not listen blindly and believed blindly, and was not a fool; it doubted but did not question it, which shows that this big green shark is a kind person!
Harry felt confident and stretched his limbs, making his body appear soft and non-aggressive.
At the same time, her already beautiful face opened up with a friendly and sweet smile, "Hi, I am Harley Quinn, from Earth.
I have seen many sharks on Earth, and you are the first shark that I feel close to.
My dear, you are so beautiful and cute, by the way, what is your name?"
****************
It can be said that Harley's "cunning and cunning" character is always online.
When she meets Fat Tou, the first thing she does is to analyze the other person's character, and then decide her attitude towards him based on his character.
She saw that Fat Tou was a kind person, so she became friends with Fat Tou; when she saw the "similar aura" on the Parallax monster, she decided to eat it.
All her behaviors and activities were not decided on the spur of the moment.
With the idea of devouring the Parallax monster, she temporarily gave up absorbing the green light energy and sat next to the Parallax monster to increase the yellow light energy defense. With this defense up, she could eat the Parallax monster.
4. When Harley is at level 8 defense with green light and level 7 defense with yellow light, Darkseid invades the earth.
Note that she only has level 8 green light and level 7 yellow light. Obviously, this is not the best time for her to take action, but she has no choice, Darkseid has arrived.
5. Because of the crisis on Earth, Harley decided to leave Oa early. She wanted to quickly complete her plan, and she had to eat the Parallax Monster first.
6. After eating the parallax monster, she deceived the fat head and tricked it into her belly.
7. Harley lets go and activates the ninth-level defense expertise upgrade
8. Harley consumed part of Fathead’s body
9. Harley's level 9 green light defense expertise allowed her to control the yellow light. Finally, she was no longer afraid of the Green Lantern Corps. She rushed out, hacked and slashed on Oa, and quickly returned to Earth.
Everyone has opinions, mainly on the sixth thing to trick the fat head into eating, and the eighth thing to eat the fat head.
Why do you want to trick fat people into your belly?
The answer was implicitly given in the article, but I didn't write it out clearly, which caused everyone's first misunderstanding.
There are two reasons; first, Harley only has level 7 yellow light defense. She can't withstand the parallax monster's counterattack. Her stomach bleeds, and she may even rupture her intestines. She needs the help of Fat Head to suppress the parallax monster. This point is directly stated in the article.
wrote.
Second, please take a look at the third thing about Harley's activities, her analysis of Fatty, and Fatty's attitude.
To put it simply, Fatty considers Harley a friend, but his stance has always been clear on siding with the Green Lantern Corps.
It even refused to merge with Harley.
In Chapter 502, there is a passage where Harley asked Fat Head, have you been imprisoned by the Green Lantern Corps for billions of years and don’t feel any resentment in your heart? “Of course it doesn’t resent it. Its will is forged by the spirit of the Green Lantern. It is the spirit of the Green Lantern.”
Representative." Suddenly, an extremely weak mental wave came from the deepest part of the battery, "Witch Harley, we are a perfect match! If she doesn't want to, forget it, I am happy to create glory with you!"
Have you ever thought about what would happen if Fatty was allowed to roam outside?
First of all, Fathead is the "soul beast" of the green light's central energy battery, the Dinghai Shenzhen. With it, it's difficult for Harley to even destroy the battery.
Secondly, Fat Head may unite with the Green Lantern Corps to encircle and suppress Harley in the battery.
Harley stuffed it into her belly, not only to protect herself, but also to protect Fatty himself. At the beginning, stomach acid poured on Fatty. Harley later explained that it was accidental and she had no intention of hurting it. This was true.
When the earth is in crisis and her own life safety is not necessarily guaranteed, if Harley is a kind woman and believes that Fat Head will not stop her from killing the Green Lantern Corps and destroying the central energy battery, then she will probably be scolded even more by readers.
awful.
******************
Now that the reason for swallowing Fat Tou is explained, let’s take a look at “The 8th Event of Harley’s Event.” Harley really hurt Fat Tou, but she still said she regarded him as a true friend. Is she being hypocritical?
To answer this question, we have to look at Harley's own situation, level 8 Green Light Defense Specialty!!!!
This level eight is too life-threatening.
After the 8th incident, there is the 9th incident where Harley makes a big fuss on Oua.
Why does she make such a fuss on Ouaxing?
The yellow light energy can only give her the strength of a legion leader, which is slightly inferior to Sinestro and a long way from Ganser. Why should she make trouble?
With the full level (level 9) green light defense expertise!
The green light can't hurt her, but she can hurt the green light. This is what gives her the confidence to cause trouble in Oua.
But before she consumed Fathead, she only had level 8 green light defense expertise.
Did she just look like a fat friend from the beginning? Did she lie when she said she considered him a friend?
Not really.
Harley has long regarded the central energy battery as her specialty upgrade target.
When she entered the battery, she didn't know there was a lampbeast inside.
When she became friends with Fat Tou, she knew that there was no fundamental conflict of interest between them and she did not need to rely on Fat Tou to upgrade her expertise to level nine.
At this time, Harley has not lost her character, and neither can Fathead!
It is a Green Lantern Beast, a heroic beast. It is impossible to watch the destruction of the Green Lantern Corps and remain indifferent.
So, it said to Harley, I will give you the source of green light energy, but please don't destroy the central energy battery.
Can Harley relent?
Her level 8 defense expertise is waiting for help, and there are three thousand Green Lantern Corps outside. How can she support it without level 9 defense expertise?
Or, exchange your merits from heaven for teleportation and run away?
More importantly, if you miss this shop, it will be difficult to find an opportunity to upgrade your expertise to level nine.
Therefore, she did not reject Fatty's offer of "sacrifice one's life for righteousness".
At that time, she was even a little angry and wanted Fatty to suffer.
****************
Let’s talk about why Fat Tou wants to protect the central energy battery.
Batteries can be reforged, that's for sure.
But once the battery is destroyed, the entire Green Lantern Corps ring will be useless.
There is a plot in the animation: Sinestro uses a yellow light to break the central energy battery of the green light. The next moment, the green light ring rains down back to Oa. Because of the loss of green light energy, the Lantern falls to his death, dies in outer space, and dies in the hands of the enemy.
In short, except for Hal Jordan's bug, all other Lanterns have to lose their green lantern power.
What Fat Head saved was not the battery, but thousands of Lanterns.
***************
Finally, are Harley and Fathead a plastic friendship?
No, look at what the fat head said and the choices it made. It is obvious that it is not stupid, but also very good. It quickly understood Harley's nature and was a "bad species", but it still took advantage of her.
Be a friend.
Harley is very cunning. Even the process of making friends with Fat Head was full of calculations and tricks. However, she really didn’t want to hurt him. After completing the upgrade of the ninth-level green light defense specialty, she stopped digesting it and later fulfilled her promise.
, let the fat head be free.
*****************
These explanations were actually in my mind at the time, but I couldn't write them all out. Maybe I always felt that Harley's behavior was reasonable at the time, because I was the author and knew what she was thinking, and there was some implicit foreshadowing.
As a result, readers could not find a clear reason for her actions in the article, and misunderstandings arose.
