I think someone at WB mistakenly thought the first Joker's success was because of Todd Philip's creative genius and not because of the general popularity of the brand and the novelty of the whole thing. Making it a musical where the Joker is a simp loser who gets BTFO by a foid was never going to sit well with its main target audience.

They should have made a musical with Joker killing random people while singing about living in a society. It would've still failed but at least it would've made more money than this :marseyshrug:

Making it a musical where the Joker is a simp loser

That's the first film minus the musical part. He was an incel simping for Zazie Beats (whatever her name is).

Joker (2019) is "what if Taxi Driver, but set in Gotham City".

It should have been left as a standalone, any sequel would pale in comprise t to the success of the first film.

In the first movie he was a delusional simp who realised what he was and chimped out. I think that's more palatable for most people than dying as a delusional simp.

Only really two options as how this happened:

1. Phillips and his writers legitimately do not understand why the first movie was popular

Or

2. Phillips and his writers legitimately hate the audience that they found

Im leaning more towards 2, one of the themes seems to be that people idolize others for all the wrong reasons, and divorce the human from the idea of that human. Either way this shit is gonna bomb

Jump in the discussion.

Can't be 1, definitely 2. The "media" that Hollywood creatures pay attention to spelled out who the audience was while they were trying to magic spree killings into existence because lonely young men had the audacity to see a movie they related to.

C) The initial success attracted the attention of the corporate suits who insisted on sticking their fingers in the pie and ruined it. Tale as old as time.

This is the one I'm going with too, if you combine the fact that over the last 5+ years almost everything movie and TV has a distinct "not for straight males" vibe. I'm not saying our gaybros are rolling in decent kino lately either, but since some of their tastes align with the prime media consuming demo (wimmens), they're at least catching some strays like those pilot fish that swim alongside of big fat sharks.

Based Joker 1 was pure slop. Its not shock this one is bad. Its just a shitty clone of taxi driver and fight club for people who only watch superhero movies (woah it has the name of le comic book guy but its a shitty version of Taxi Driver instead of an action movie :marseysoyhype:).

Everything about it is obvious and stupid. The movie is so generic with its politics you can easily interpret it as left or right wing. Idk why chuds think its about them outside of memes when you could easily say joker is a based antifa anti capitalist smashing the rich (thats the point Arthur is a fricking crazy loser who is doing this out of personal beef which everyone projects their politics onto). !kino to all joker fans just watch one if the movies Todd is inspired by :marseyxd:

Okay I'm reading all the spoilers and apparently the joker gets r*ped by prison guards and stops going by the joker because of it (???) and then some other prisoner is implied to be the "real" joker.

I don't really get why they'd make this joker not the real joker, either. They already built him up to be a killing jokeesque joker, to the point it'd have been way easier to just make this movie a standard joker vs batman story but from the joker's side of things. Timeskips exist for a reason.

I respect them tbh for going a completely different route even though it's inevitably going to be a fail. A lot of producers would have wondered how much money there is in a film that turned out to be fairly popular and just tried to repeat the formula until people got bored of it kind of like how Marvel have been doing it since forever.
