Joker: Folie à Deux

[crows]

In the past two years?

I was just thinking of ruined characters

Indiana jones too.

Your own gif says it best...

The sad part is I watched them film Halloween Ends, therefore all the more insulting.

I don’t think Indy was ruined. I didn’t need to see a geriatric version of him, but I was still entertained. IDK, maybe it was because I can better relate to his situation now lol.

That’s pretty much the damn movie. What a mean spirited movie and a giant middle finger to the people that made it a success.

I loved it! it's like a meta joke on the naive audience thinking Hollywood wouldn't ruin your beloved villain character. A Joker move IRL

I wasn’t interested in Phoenix Joker to the degree of Ledger, Nicholson or what’s claimed to be the original shape from Halloween 1978 in these new garbage sequels.

So ultimately, I can just forget about this interpretation like Leto, though this version actually had potential that it never saw outside of the final act of Joker 2019.

i don't dislike the first joker movie but I secretly could never see how this Arthur could be one Batman's nemesis.
even in the first one, Arthur seemed frail and weakling.
yeah he killed people and everything but he didn't seem very smart or very evil.
he was an abused child, a bullied mentally unwell guy. he never screamed psychopath criminal mastermind.

I know what the red hood origins of the joker are, and his stand up. I get that. but this movie just continues the story of that frail sickly unintelligent poor guy from the first one.

South Park is way ahead of you.

no one really understood, how correct South Park was. .....

 

[Nick D]

Is that Lucas and Spielberg fighting over Ford’s Khakis?

 

[Wor-Gar]

That South Park episode is so horrifying. I can't look.

I can't believe there's people here who have not seen it.

But was the lesson learned? NO. In fact, it's gotten worse since 2008. Much, much worse. Franchises litter the cinemascape with only their torn underwear left behind. Only Back to the Future has been free of this cinephile assault. But I know it will come. One day.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'm still waiting for my Nicholson...?

You have the tool -- use it!

 

[jye4ever]

Can someone please inform the simpleton Tod Phillips that movies are a fantasy for the audience to lose themselves away from real life and if that fantasy involves enjoying watching villains causing mayhem chaos death and destruction that’s perfectly fine because it allows us to enjoy fantastical elements and watch heroes rise to counter evil in whatever manifestation it takes.

Hell sometimes we just enjoy watching people getting destroyed by great villains, that’s entertainment!

 

[Wor-Gar]

I turned Joker on just now on HBO... and I was immediately sucked in.

 

[Nyro]

Movie as a medium is dying so I doubt there will be another Nicholson or even Ledger in terms of long term impact. If there's potential as with this Joker it'll go to waste in Hollywood, which lost its cultural relevance a long time ago

 

[Wor-Gar]

Vinyl of all things came back.

Movies could come back. Need a new generation....

 

[Nick D]

Exactly, there’ll never be another Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, or another Nick Castle, Dick Warlock.

I’m tired of legacy sequels, tired of rebooting things, tired of overarching universes.

I’ll take more one offs like Joker but actually give me The Joker this time.

The audience shouldn’t have to hold the supervillain’s hand throughout the runtime. Give Joker some balls, like Ledger’s and Nicholson’s.

If Joker isn’t immediately in charge the moment he walks into a room, then honey that ain’t The Joker.

 

[MarkKing]

I had no plans to watch it befoer I heard how bad it was, now I'm furious at what I heard.

Why would I want any Joker merch now?

Their Jobs is to make peopel want the merch!!!

Can investors sue these guys for this? Not joking. Your job is to make money, not lose it. This was absurd!!! This movie didn't even TRY to make him cool again, instead they made him into a walking cringe fest.
