Official JOKER Thread (SPOILERS)

[Legalese]

Better than Heathe imo (rip)

 

[The axe murderer]

Oh and at whoever said they can't see this Joker going up against Batman.

Dude had the whole city behind him by the time the movie ended, he could definitely go toe-to-toe (not fighting, I mean as far as being a threat) with Batman.

It's a moot point though because this is a one off.

Fred.

Phoenix doesn't seem to do sequels

 

[The axe murderer]

I thought the " look who's laughing now" joke was so underrated

It was actually a good joke because no one laughed

He had his arms out n shyt

When he tries to be funny he isn't but when he doesn't he is unintentional comedy. The cinema was when he walked into that glass

 

[OJ Simpsom]

Waiting for a breakdown of all the scenes that were fantasy.

On second watch, I realized he was just imagining himself on the Murray Show when he was watching it with his mom. That went over my head the first time around.

 

[Brandeezy]

Very good watch, need a commentary with him and Phoenix for the blu-ray

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

I missed the first 20 mins....But...

Spoiler

Did he kill that sista(his neighbor) and her daughter? Or did they only exist in his head?

Even with the subway killings, only 2 out of the 3 kills are really justifiable. The first 2 were while they were attacking him so you can maybe argue self defense, that third one is where Arthur crossed a line and I thought the film did a good job at conveying that. That last Wayne employee was wounded, running, screaming for his life across different stops, yet Arthur still ran after him and gunned him down, shooting him in the back no less. That was a clear sign that Arthur had fully lost it and gone past the point of no return, because he didn’t just kill those guys in self defense or because they wronged him, he did it because he enjoyed it.

Exactly but if any of the killings were being framed as anti-hero behavior....I'd be willing to give a pass to those three even if it's a stretch.
After that though? Hell no. Dude smothered his adopted mom with a pillow. Anti-hero.

No need for spoiler tags, opening week end is over.

There's nothing to suggest he killed them.

The way the scene transitioned out, I felt like it was a lil subtle imply.He was all the way over the edge by that point..And you never saw the lady or her daughter again

Nah I dont think he killed them

She was pretty nice to him in that short space of time and asked him to leave peacefully

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Going back to watch again sometime this week. Tell you this, you don’t get this level of discourse with time travel

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

i didn't like the use of gary glitter's dr who tune playing..wish they chose another tune.

 

[mson]

I liked it. Felt like a mix of King of Comedy, TaxI Driver, and American Psycho. That scene in his apartment with the little dude

really? i thought it was great (and unexpected)

 

[Why-Fi]

he is an antihero but its never presented as anything other than problematic, from what i saw. outside of his issues as the central character, him becoming a hero that way was the biggest problem, seems like that was kind of the point. I don’t think whether people would root for him or not has a whole lot to do with the movie if you know what i mean. people can find any reason to kill, the problem is being ok with killing somebody in the first place. no reasonable person would root for him no matter how well its explained

anyway...i don’t think there will another origin story as well done as this. a man who has legitimately confused comedy with tragedy is the perfect way to see the joker. someone we’ve always known to think fukking shyt up is hilarious.

 

[Sensitive Christian Grey]

Saw it again with my friend and was still A1, couldn't feel tired of it


I saw his back again after he had the Murray fantasy and was like glad I've been working out my back at the gym the last few weeks


at Paper Boi getting outmuscled for the records


Was also a cool detail that Zazie Beetz only knew his name from being introduced at the comedy club. Still don't know if he killed her or not
