SMH
YOU IN THAT "MARVEL IS BORING" THREAD GASSING ALL THEIR NEW
GARBAGE ASS shyt AND GOT THE
NERVE TO shyt ON THE JOKER?
SIT DOWN SOME WHERE.
Absolutely.
Todd Phillips basically made a movie about a retard and hid it behind sparse batman connections to sell movie tickets and it worked, brilliant troll job. Worth a watch for the cinematography and some great scenes from Pheonix but still pretty slow, derivative and now seemingly going against the theme it laid out.
The intent was to sneak a 'real film' about said retard into theaters behind comic book movie fanfare without ever really letting "Joker" be THE Joker. Making a sequel, adding Harley into the mix while still being determined to be a 'comic book movie' for people who hate or are tired of comic book movies sounds like a bad idea. Yet I'm still going to check it out for those elements I enjoyed from the first and just to see how this musical thing will play out.
Sweeney Todd (which I like) is the best possible outcome I can envision for something like this.
