Going through the thread for a bit and I'm still unsure why people are rating it so poorly
Did y'all think he was going to be fighting Batman or something?

I thinks this was the first time they mentioned Gotham, NY
No, we didn't think it would be a two and half hour drawn out summary of the first movie, littered with off-key singing and a terrible ending that makes the whole first movie pointless.

I saw it as clarifying that Arthur was just a man with mental illness and shouldn't be seen a martyr or a symbol of anarchy. People worshipped what they wanted him to be not knowing who the man underneath the makeup truly was. Arthur was never going to be the criminal that the comic Joker is. He was just a man that got pushed too far and killed some people. Harley is basically a stand-in for the people that thought otherwise.
It makes me the of the reason why Frank Herbert wrote Dune Messiah after the response to Dune
It's a comic book character in the Batman universe. The movie is literally called Joker and it takes place in Gotham. The director already ripped off Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy, he doesn't need to be teaching moral lessons to some losers on social media. It's not that serious, let the fans have fun and enjoy the ride.

I thought at some point he would break and we would see the Joker.

The first movie was not a musical....don't be an idiot

Joker was just an act to hide behind and bring attention to himself.
when he was cross examining Puddles you saw he trying to keep up the act but breaking character. The illusions was further broken when he was listening to the younger guy in prison who was a joker follower being killed

And we knew the direction it was going to take over two years ago and the musical numbers were basically how I predicted
Having musical numbers play in his head isn't off for the comic character either
Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
No one thought he was going to be fighting batman. Maybe people just didn't want a musical with a shyt plot. Is that too much to ask for?
