    Robyn was WHACK! You don’t take a child out of the country without sitting down and having a whole conversation! Mia has a father, although he may not have always been present, he was active in her life and provided for her. Robyn didn’t do it alone.

Why do they have to throw that in everything raise a boy right to be not to be penetrated in his behind by another man bad enough in the real world Magic Johnson got a big gay son now we got to do this initial it’s not even necessary just let manly men and women be women even in the show, I feel bad for Jordan, taking her career is more important than sitting down and having a husband and children at the episode four I was done

    Robyn is the villain. Harper is ambitiously selfish but Robyn blindsiding him with taking his child to Ghana was beyond cruel! Especially considering what they both went through to have Mia. She is also complicit in their failed relationship as she did not communicate with her husband. Harper and Robyn both settled for each other. This is exemplar of so many folks that marry have no business being married.

      I would go even further than that. Robin hitched her wagon to Harpers star from way back and took the ride on a gamble. (1) She knew she wasn't his ideal since she read "Unfinished Business" (2) She got no response when she expressed her feelings in the hot tub from film 1. (3) She suppressed her true feelings of unfulfillment in the relationship for years and even had the man's baby. She knew exactly what she was getting into but her PLAN ....was to change him. He on the other hand was trusting his eyes this whole time and doing what it is that he does.
      From film 1 thru to the end they are right, Harper is EXACTLY the same person.

      Harper was right when he said Robyn's actions had been selfish after filing for divorce. I applauded her for finally going after her dream, but blindsiding Harper with relocating his daughter to Ghana was such a callous move. But I think everyone jumped on him because he is consistently selfish and they were fed up with it. Even if she had communicated her dissatisfaction with their marriage, do you believe he'd truly listen to her? Years later and Harper still doesn't know what he wants. I think he really does see everyone in his life as characters in a book.

    Harper settled for Robyn because he knew from the start she loved him more than he loved her and that she was more invested in their relationship. I never felt like he proposed from his heart in the first film way back in '99. He knew she'd seen and had enough of the drama surrounding Mia and Lance and all their college friends, especially when she realized he was in love with someone else, namely Jordan, who was (and still is) "the one who got away." But if he hadn't proposed, Robyn would have been another one who got away, so he made the move he made to keep her around. Harper has been pretty self-serving throughout. It's a kabillion years later, and it's still all about him. I was happy to see Robyn go after her dreams and live her life.

      What dreams ? Because let's be honest she knew what was up but given all her " passions " she always failed and moved on using harpers success for a bufer. Lets not pretend she isnt self serving . When every passion you have falls through isn't it fun to just blame your partner and take no accountability( in the second you know why they were struggling? Because only one person was paying for everything. ) She was never gonna make something of herself and she won't now. Maybe a year in ghana and off to the next passion that will fail.

  • @minkki5656
    @minkki5656 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    The dynamics of their relationship was off from the beginning. Harper, a future writer, had big dreams of success, which entails being out in the forefront. Robyn was more behind the scenes. Career woman, but more into staying low-key cooking, and learning about the motherland, and helping her own people. She didn't care about the million dollar home in the suburbs like Harper. Neither one was wrong on their individual routes to success, their ability to communicate, pay attention to the wants and need of each other, was a downfall for both. Harper was more compatible with Jordan, whom he was always in love with. So in my observance, neither one was the villain. They didn't move like a married couple should have, the moved individually as a married couple.

    Since the first movie Robyn seemed like she was all over the place when it came to what she wanted to do. He had her use his kitchen to cook for catering events, which he supported her in her dreams, which she seemed like she moved on to something else. The 2nd movie they went through some financial hardship, which she had a magazine or something that wasn’t doing well, but he invested in that. In the Final Chapters she wanted to move to Jamaica because she felt more free and she was dealing with the female cook.

    I'm not sure I would call either the "villain" until Robyn wanted to take Mia to Ghana. They had different goals and ideologies... and failed to communicate. Robyn did not adequately communicate her needs until she was completely frustrated. Harper was simply oblivious because he was focusing on his career. I thought the opening night compromise was great... thought they were getting somewhere. That being said, Harper was communicating with the wrong person... when no one else was at the after party, he should've went home. I do not think Harper and Jordan should have ended up together... they were each married to careers.

    The villain will always be the person the viewer related to the least. In truth, neither of them was a villain, just human. Your hurt always feels the most relevant and only after you heal and move on can you really see what part you played in the relationship not working. Harper was incredibly selfish, not intentionally, but because his dreams were always his real love. Robyn intentionally put her desires on the back burner in order to make her relationship work but over time realized that that wasn’t enough. Once Robyn was fed up, she started becoming more selfish because she decided to pick herself. She really just gave him the same energy back but hers was laced with hurt bitterness.

She already had a made up mind about what she wanted to do and was looking for a reason to exit the marriage. Nobody was going to let Harper live down his mistakes. Like they were kids in college!! I feel Robyn has always been combative from jump scene 1 in the 1999 movie. We will never know if Jordan was for Harper. As Jordan stated they only seem to connect out of drama. #TeamHarp #AndYesIamAWoman P.S. that mess Robyn pulled with their daughter was out of order. I was pissed his friends took her side at the Spivey's crib. SMH

      I disagree. Go back and watch the first movie. Robyn wasn't a pill...she was protecting her territory. She made it clear she wanted Harper but it gets messy when 'the one who got away' (Jordan) never went away. I saw Robyn as trying to get on solid footing in a relationship but Jordan was always around. It was messy because Harper couldn't get Jordan but she was always in the picture and Robyn wasn't happy.

The this black father wants to be in his child's life and you wanna move his child to another country... not another city or state, but another COUNTRY!! That is selfish, ignorant and evil!!

      EXACTLY.
      After the "almost was" night between Harper & Jordan.....Harper messed up.
      He should've chose Jordan. But he was likely still reeling from the "moral lesson" butt whipping Lance put on him.
      He chose Robyn over Jordan while he was still moralizing over the guilt of succumbing to Mia all those years ago.(in addition to the size 12 in his bottom)
      He was "moved" by the moment and stepped out on faith. One of two things should have happened:
      (1).Harper shoulda broke it off with Robyn
      (2) Robyn should have rejected Harpers proposal.
      Then we could see how Harper & Jordan may have turned out. But probably not. (they've had SOOO many chances)

    Did nobody notice how Harp gave her full custody (before he found out she was moving to Ghana)? When i saw that part i was like, Why would he give her full custody?
    2. Both are villains in their own ways. Harp should’ve never married her but he did try to work on the marriage. Robin was wrong to give up on the marriage so quick I feel, but I guess we couldn’t see her hurt over the years idk, but i felt it was too abrupt. Robin shouldn’t have taken their daughter to Ghana. Harp and Jordan wouldn’t have worked either tbh, i can’t see them having a successful romantic relationship. It was always built on what if and mystery.
    P.S. Harp has been selfish forever. Always his career, he couldn’t take a vacation to Ghana for a little bit to save his marriage? It’s like he tried but not enough.

    I think all people can use on Robyn is her decision to take their child to Ghana. No, I don't think that was right, but overall, throughout all the movies and the series, Harper has made all his decisions for himself. Even with his own friends. He had a pattern of "bad decisions" that he always benefited from in some way and another. I think Robyn took so much of his selfishness throughout the years and was so selfless that she did what most resentful people do, which is to make a decision totally for herself. That was the only decision she made for herself.

    Theyre "villains" in their own way. The gave u whatever you want and the house. U can't show up the day off and say I'm moving to Africa with our kid. That's going way to far. IDC if it's mom or dad... Nobody should do that. Harper works hard and the particular profession he chose comes with a lot of responsibility, unfortunately. But he did it all for them (and himself of course) to achieve great things. A person wanting achieve as much as they can shouldn't be held against them but that person also has to find balance. Harper and Robin both know what it's like to be broke, he wanted to make sure they never have to worry about that again and that does take sacrifice. Robyn should be more understanding, but so should Harp. Different professions and I get she tries and gives up easy but his success has afforded her the opportunity to be able to try and fail until she finds her thing. Should be a gift not a curse, cant hold that against her that's why I worked to become successful. Harp downplayed his own value or power at times instead of stepping up and saying no my wife needs me on these dates.. he should have been more bold for his family. They both made mistakes and in some ways harbored resentment because of it.

    Robyn is awful. I get Harper's struggle at times and his ambition. But wtf do you want, a guy without it and to deny being it? A giy to not try? A guy to not be a guy? His instinct was to #1 provide and his ambition was also driven by her support when he was down. But her character was totally solipsistic and mean. Harper... not perfect but not awful. Robyn... the passive aggressiveness, selfishness... 👎 👎Edit - the daughter to Ghana was absolutely evil and the gaslighting truly showed her narcissism in all its glory.
    I don't know about 'villain'. The character was just an awful person that Harper would do well to NOT invite back in his life when inevitably she'd return.

    I don't think either was the villain. I just think that Harper wanted his career more than his marriage, his dreams keep going up and down so much that Robyn was sick of it. Her only fault was expecting him to know that she wasn't okay with the way things were, she just rolled with him and his dreams so much that that became the dynamic of their relationship. Harper was wrong for not being able to compromise, at least not enough for them both to be happy.
    He could have just held off on his writing to live in his wife dreams for once, but instead he wanted to further his dreams and sadly that cost him Robyn. I was sad that they couldn't hang on or that Harper held off on his ambitions for once. But that's how it was meant to be, maybe it was a better set up for them to split and become the people they want to be. I'm just glad they did things amicably in the end even though Harper did snap for a minute.

    Jordan and Harper would have made a better match and friendship.
    Harper expresses himself more and better with Jordan than Robyn..
    They both saw the red flags and chose to go with the flow until it was a disaster...
    Also aside from Jordan being ambitious in her career, she makes a better friend and partner with Harper.

Put his money where her mouth was. Robyn turned into a liability no longer an asset, shew never listened to reason and just popped things up out of thin air.
    she was about giving so he agreed to give just for her to throw in his face he did not support her. because of his bank acct she has an entire eco system in place in harlem NYC and she ups and just leaves out of nowhere. Had he been unsuccessful all these years she would have never found her luxury new found calling.
