WE ARE THE COPS. WE ARE HARLEYThe first film was meh to me. Read all the spoilers here and feedback.
As somebody put it earlier, the movie does parallel what's happening right now. Arthur's fans in the movies are disappointed he didn't become the Joker they thought him to be and it's the same with the fans of the first film. Real life imitates art as they say. Maybe Phillips is a genius. Maybe him and Phoenix concocted this thesis that the real world fans will have the same reaction as how they wrote it. And y'all proved him right. Arthur got ***** in the movie and the raping continues with the memes, jokes, AI images, etc. Y'all are the cops because you were spited by Todd. Y'all are also the unknown Joker at the end because you defined what Joker should be.
I say this jokingly but hey, who knows?

I didn't like the first film. While I thought it was technically well-made, I remember describing it as bleak in a cynical, empty, nasty and uniquely post-modern way ... I've never re-watched it.
After perusing all this I'm definitely not wasting my time on the second. For me this all amounts to misery-**** and ... I never thought the character was a DC-style Joker, just a re-imagining of the concept, almost completely divorced from the source material.
I'm also sick and tired of watching Phoenix mug and grimace his way through another dead-eyed, dysfunctional loner character. It's turned into a schtick.

YEAH!
For y'all, he only lasted one film. Didn't even get y'all to climax for part 2! In love with the idea of becoming Joker but not the reality that he's Arthur.

So Phillips thought this would be an interesting character arc for Joker:
he only lasted 20 seconds. in *** with Harley. I counted. I went back to the scene and counted
How long he last with the cops?

He wasn’t pathetic at the end tho. And no one in this thread said they connected or related to the character.
Also that’s funny coming from someone with Jinx in there profile pic. It’s a FICTIONAL CHARACTER. A Comic villain.
How many people has jinx killed? She’s just as problematic as joker is so I don’t understand the whole “you shouldn’t like this character cause they did a bad thing” argument. Let’s just shut down half the threads here since we aren’t allowed to like flawed and villainous characters anymore.
I don’t understand the idolized argument either. The movie was a hit in 2019 and was never talked about again til the sequel . It came and went.
also I never got why people get so bent out of shape when people say they like the joker like he was an actual living breathing person lol

DC wanted this sequel. When you make the biggest R rated movie of all time on a $50 million dollar budget the studio wants the sequel- every studio would want that sequel. Phillips and Phoenix were the ones who told DC they aren't going to make it unless they have an idea they are inspired by, and why they demanded to have full creative control if they were going to do it- and were given it. Thats why they were paid $20 million each. They had the studio over a barrel because the studio wanted to make money, they made their demands, and the demands were met. This isn't rocket science or a conspiracy. The studio wanted a sequel to a very lucrative movie, just like they want sequels to any lucrative movie that's ever existed. It's not Todd Phillips' talent that allowed him to 'call the shots', its that they wanted a sequel to make money, and needed him attached to get Phoenix back. This is a specific scenario where he had leverage over the studio. This is fact not opinion.

Ditto. I wonder if time will be kind to these types of $equels, IP-(mis)handling$.
I recently tried to rewatch Ends, and shut it off. Some of the acting and story is godawful and so contrived. I know this isn't a Halloween thread, but I think it applies to this (not really the) Joker pair of movies. They seem to have been made by people who secretly wanted to de$troy them.
