Lady gaga is the only good part, even if she isn't really Harley Quinn. Her singing "Close to you" to Arthur in the visitor center is memorably creepy.
@@LeonMackenzie-w9t Yes, shes legit scary. I imagine she'll get more crazy chick parts down the road. That scene is already kind of iconic, ironically enough. It was all over tik tok Too bad its surrounded by such an ass movie.
If he makes £1, he'll make more money than the film 🤣 The film is still about a hundred million in debt when you look at the overall budget, including marketing.
@1000000man1 don't forget about the theater's take. Got to make twice the budget, and additional 50 to 100 million depending on how much you spent on marketing. At the bare minimum they needed 450 million to break even. Didn't even get half that.
@@Jester_Jingles Yeah, I was taking that into account. Joker 2 cost 200 million in production and about 100 million in marketing. As of now, it's Just about made back the production budget, so in terms of actual profit, it literally hasn't made anything. It's still about 100 million in debt. Yeah, for any film to be considered a success, it needs to more than double the whole budget. That's why it's laughable when they claim Joker 2 is "dominating the box office" 😂 You know what film actually dominated the box office last month, in terms of making profit.. Terrifier 3, an unrated, low budget indie film that Hollywood refused to finance. It cost 2 million in production and half a million in marketing. It's now grossed about 87 million worldwide.
I've been going through your videos Despot & it's been a hilarious laugh [AM I RIGHT LADS?]. I look forward to getting to this one, do what you gotta do to stop the filthy UA-cam with their copyright demonitization tricks.
To be fair, the Joker getting killed by some guy would not have been a bad ending if the movie itself was not so boring. In Batman the Animated Series revealed getting killed by a nobody is the Joker's biggest fear.
The problem is that the relationship between this movie and good is so distant that the Joker being abducted by martians could not be a bad ending if this movie were good.
Me neither, I wish I had known that when I went to see Jim Carey’s scrooge, thankfully a drunk driver hit a lamp pole that made the whole towns power go off in the first act
You breaking down the time dedicated to the courtroom scene (8 minutes) versus the original killing of whats-his-face (30 seconds) was pretty shocking to me. It really puts into perspective how reactionary the 2nd movie is to the first movie's legacy. It's astounding to consider how badly Todd Phillips fumbled whatever kind of mandate he had after the first movie. Truly astonishing self-own, an unparalleled unforced error. I hope this movie goes down in the history books. Seriously. Todd Phillips is like some deranged ouroboros.
@@theflyingkaramazovbrothers6 That's an interesting perspective. If I'm being honest, I don't have a strong opinion on any of this. I'll forget Phillips' name and face within a year, and there's a good chance I'll see another movie of his if it appeals to me. Your interpretation of the situation certainly fills me with bad feelings. I think I hope you're wrong because of that, but that's just an emotional reaction. Thanks for sharing, dire though it may be.
@@JoakimOtamaa It's a hardcore symbol and piece of imagery. I love the idea of an ouroboros. I think I also recently likened a discussion I was a part of as being like a "human centipede ouroboros". It's just such a beautiful concept to apply to different things.
What is it with Phoenix playing impotent, mentally unstable manchildren in like everything? Commodus, Theodore (Her), Napoleon, Joker, he’s always some meek frustrated dope.
What's with Johnny Depp playing weirdos? What's with John Wayne playing cowboys? What's with Humphrey Bogart playing hardboileds? It's called typecasting. Some actors escape it, some don't, some get typecasted as something cool that they do naturally and then there's a match made in heaven. I think Phoenix played that character in 8mm too

It’s crazy how accustomed I once was to expecting new, original films 20 years ago. Things have progressed into such a machine over in Hollywood that it’s no longer realistic to hope for that to be a norm. I keep hearing these movies are bombing but they keep getting to production. Either the production companies are going to go broke in the future or there is an audience somewhere that is making this all possible (I.e. children maybe? Or some foreign audience such as China?). There used to be some pride behind making something new that can hit the top of the box office for the next few months. I don’t think that exists anymore. Movies are a business more so than they once were. The first question will always be to ask what will give us the highest probability of returning a profit. Nothing more. That is the only incentive I would imagine. I don’t have a better hypothesis as to why sequels and remakes are the norm.
I agree with what you say, minus the kids, they are an audience with some brains and can handle some seriousness like the lion king. Maybe it is made for children, but for 4 year olds.
@@dogg-paws They must be both. I do not want any more remakes. And I definitely do not want anymore part 2's or 3's. I am not saying everything has sucked that comes out. The part 2 and 3s are getting stale. The remakes can be good, but there is something to be said about knowing the outcome of what you are watching going into it. I live for the movies that want to do their own thing. It was unfair to call the people who enjoy sequels and remakes kids. There are plenty of adults who also enjoy them (no matter how flawed it is in my mind). By the way, random movie recommendation: Suburra (2015 Italian film).
The Despot of Anthrim stands as a powerful testament to resilience, strategy, and the pursuit of dominion. Celebrating this monumental figure is to honor the intricate balance between leadership and audacity. Anthrim's despot forged a legacy through unyielding determination, exemplifying the mastery of statecraft and the delicate art of survival in turbulent eras. This figure not only shaped their domain but inspired generations to embrace the challenges of governance with wisdom and strength. The Despot's story reminds us of the power of vision and the courage to act decisively in the face of uncertainty. Here's to the enduring legacy of the Despot of Anthrim-an icon of ambition and leadership! #AnthrimLegacy #Leadership #HistoricalFigures
Outstanding, good sir. This movie would have been better if we got 2 straight hours of Harvey's casting couch. I know I am an asshole, thank you for validating my identity.
You need a comma after the word "Hollywood" to make it a little clearer that you're telling Hollywood to try rather than stating that's what they're doing.
Hollywood doesn't seem to understand that a movie like the Crow was only popular because of the Zeitgeist. The event with Lee happened shortly after Cobain. That is why it resonated. Also the first J movie didn't just resonate with men. A lot of people who are alone and struggling with mental health issues related to it.
I've been watching Joker 2 for an hour now, and I'm starting to think Billy Eichner is never going to make an appearance. Am I just wasting my time? wtf
Congrats on 100k I never understood why you hadnt blown up long ago. As far as long-form modern media roasting, you're the king. I have rarely laughed harder watching your videos and derived so much joy from them it's crazy. I've even stolen some of your go-to's, like the mock misogyny followed by an exaggerated "Am I right boys??". First time I heard that I laughed so hard it hurt and I shamelessly use it in real life. I hope the despot will understand. Best wishes from Boston from a fellow Irishman whose ancestors ran away during the famine and made it here. *Bows to the despot*
Omfg, I can’t either, I found despot this past summer and have watched his entire back playlist, so great! I have chills for next years Oscar’s as well as Grammy’s (just despots award shows, I haven’t watched the actual ones in over 27 years) Have a pleasant weekend, wherever in the world you are
Never forget Robin Williams performed “blame Canada” live on stage at the Oscar’s, and they just barely lost to Phil Collin’s for Tarzan. The South Park movie is a masterpiece and Matt and Trey are geniuses
Honestly, I feel like one of this movie's biggest problems is just how imperfect the first movie was. I know that there's fans of the first, and while the 2019 movie had its pros, I can’t ignore its flaws. As giving Arthur Fleck/Joker a reason to be Joker, is both the movie's strength, but also its weakness. You see, while a majority of Batman/Gotham lore goes into great detail about the pathologies of his rogue’s gallery of villains, explaining what made them resort to their messed-up actions, with Joker's case, what makes him work is that he DOESN'T really have a pathology, let alone is suppose to have one. Sure, he has certain traits such as his obsession with circuses/comedy, his sadistic sense of humor, and his distaste for people not understanding what he's doing (“It’s part of the joke!”). But why Joker is a psychopathic clown is never really explained or really even hinted at, even in The Killing Joke, which Joker (2019) was inspired by, but this was THE WHOLE POINT. He was written as less of a fleshed out character and more of a manifestation of evil itself. A good example of someone like this too, is Judge Holden (Blood Meridian). Someone who's beyond logic or explanation, not a puzzle that can be solved. He just is who he is. Batman literally calls him out for this when he makes his argument about “One Bad Day”. Therefore, adding in so much sympathy to the character, strips from him this disturbing ambiguity, contradicting the entire essence of his character. It doesn’t even help to that the Director stated how he was inspired by a similar movie The King of Comedy. But those who have seen that movie would actually understand the fact that the main character, Rupert isn’t really all that sympathetic. Sure he has a plan and motivation, which may be some can be empathetic about. The dude is narcissistic, disturbed, and kind of psychotic with the way he’s going about what he’s doing. As well as the fact that the people who comes across him, call him out for his dishonesty, but he claims to the contrary, which leads for us the audience to wonder whether or not he’s even telling the truth or not. Just like most unreliable narrators. So to see the sequel, try to downplay all this, instead of trying to find a way to work around it to actually make sure that we see that Arthur is 100% in the wrong of his actions, but is already far gone, really feels like the reason the sequel shouldn’t have existed in the first place.
Also, Warner Bros would rather greenlight another season of Velma than making a new Venture Bros season... I wish I was a WB exec, imagine half assing a job and still be paid and hired to do it again? Bad decisions seem to be WB's secret motto.
Why are you so late with this? And only 1 hour? WTF ami gonna do with that? You cant get me used to 4 hour videos and skimp out on me. Im not mad, im disappointed. Ill watch out of spite 😂 Love the channel bro
While Madame Webb, Borderlands, and The Crow are not good movies in their own right, I don't think they have the active contempt for their audience the way Joker 2 does. Argylle, I felt I was sold a false bill of goods, would not recommend.
I watched your original video several times and I will rewatch this one several times as well. I never thought I would enjoy The Despot yelling F you at me so much, but here we are!
Gaga ruins everything. She ruined American Horror Story back in the day too. She is a terrible actress. I don’t understand why people continue to put her in cinema.
I LOVE your rants! More than 3 of your videos are on heavy rotation, saved my Dirty Pleasures Playlist. However, I care so little about the Joker sequel that I could even finish this one.
It's a crime to have Arkham Asylum gameplay imposed over that movie. Arkham Joker is one of the best written villains in any piece of entertainment (at least for the first 2 games) and penned by the DC comics writer who created Harley Quinn, modern Holywood doesn't hold a candle to the talent of old comics book writers.
❤the thumbnail, and your introduction. I might borrow the DVD 📀 from the library, just to see how bad this is, and so the studio makes as little money as possible
When I first heard about what they were doing with the sequel I knew this movie was going to suck. I can only watch a sickly skinny joker not knowing what he should do. Random dancing and a super odd relationship with Harley Q. Ugggggggg😫😫😫
Started watching the South Park movie because you made me want to lol. I shit you not, I had the same realization about the name of the movie. I'm 34 and have seen the movie at least 20 times, never realized the joke behind it until last night.
Thanks Despot. Nice to see this one back. I might have gone to see Joker 2, if Arthur had told the guards that they only thought they were great because they had BOATS !
I'm leaving a comment just to bolster engagement as I let this video play at 0.25 speed. UA-cam's demonetization nonsense needs to be pushed back wherever possible.
My tinfoil hat about this movie is that it was made to be as awful as possible just to make Warner Bros lose tons of money on it because they wouldn't stop begging for a sequel to be made

I'm sure I commented this on the orginal video but I'll re-comment it for anyone interested.. To get across Just how big a flop Joker 2 is, it cost 200 million in production and another 100 million in marketing. As of now, it has grossed Just about 200 million, worldwide, making it still 100 million in debt. A film needs to make about 2.5x its budget to be successful and Joker 2 hasn't even made its money back, but Warner Bros' will tell you it's "dominating" the box office 🤣 In reality, the most financially successful film that came out last month was Terrifier 3, a low budget indie film that Hollywood refused to finance and the MPAA refused to rate. Terrifier 3 cost 2 million in production and half a million in marketing. As of now, it has grossed over 80 million, worldwide. That's well over 30x its budget.
What's the worst that could happen? You can barbecue them, boil them, broil them, bake them, saute them. Make shrimp kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo.

By the way, random movie recommendation: Suburra (2015 Italian film).
They used to be art, now they are product.
The Despot of Anthrim stands as a powerful testament to resilience, strategy, and the pursuit of dominion. Celebrating this monumental figure is to honor the intricate balance between leadership and audacity. Anthrim's despot forged a legacy through unyielding determination, exemplifying the mastery of statecraft and the delicate art of survival in turbulent eras.
This figure not only shaped their domain but inspired generations to embrace the challenges of governance with wisdom and strength. The Despot's story reminds us of the power of vision and the courage to act decisively in the face of uncertainty. Here's to the enduring legacy of the Despot of Anthrim-an icon of ambition and leadership!

Lincoln himself could not have written a more beautiful homage.
Outstanding, good sir. This movie would have been better if we got 2 straight hours of Harvey's casting couch. I know I am an asshole, thank you for validating my identity.
When it was revealed that it was going to be a musical……I said FCK!……..then I calmed down and said FCK!!!
Hollywood try not to destroy good films with shitty sequels
I'm not sure that's warranted. Look at Gladiator 2
@@TheNotoriousMrDee I'm personally not a fan.
@@Aureus_ That was a joke 😆
@@TheNotoriousMrDee My apologies then friend 😭
You need a comma after the word "Hollywood" to make it a little clearer that you're telling Hollywood to try rather than stating that's what they're doing.
Hollywood doesn't seem to understand that a movie like the Crow was only popular because of the Zeitgeist. The event with Lee happened shortly after Cobain. That is why it resonated.
Also the first J movie didn't just resonate with men. A lot of people who are alone and struggling with mental health issues related to it.
This is a Joker 2 Review number 2, electric bugaloo.
I've been watching Joker 2 for an hour now, and I'm starting to think Billy Eichner is never going to make an appearance. Am I just wasting my time? wtf
😂😂😂😂
You make hands down the best video essays on youtube, IMO. Keep up the good work you Despot.
I am a little bit pissed, that this feature is shorter than the actuall movie!😡
Congrats on 100k I never understood why you hadnt blown up long ago. As far as long-form modern media roasting, you're the king.
I have rarely laughed harder watching your videos and derived so much joy from them it's crazy.
I've even stolen some of your go-to's, like the mock misogyny followed by an exaggerated "Am I right boys??". First time I heard that I laughed so hard it hurt and I shamelessly use it in real life. I hope the despot will understand.
Best wishes from Boston from a fellow Irishman whose ancestors ran away during the famine and made it here.
*Bows to the despot*
Can't wait to see your worst of 2024, Des!
Omfg, I can’t either, I found despot this past summer and have watched his entire back playlist, so great! I have chills for next years Oscar’s as well as Grammy’s (just despots award shows, I haven’t watched the actual ones in over 27 years)
Have a pleasant weekend, wherever in the world you are
Never forget Robin Williams performed “blame Canada” live on stage at the Oscar’s, and they just barely lost to Phil Collin’s for Tarzan. The South Park movie is a masterpiece and Matt and Trey are geniuses
Thank you from someone who never intends on ever watching this film. You’re doing the lords work.
It's rare that a movie makes me as angry as this one did, and actively loathe it with all my heart!!! 🤬😤😬
You unironically have a far more beautiful singing voice than Joaquin Phoenix, and you weren't even trying.
Joker: Folie a Deux was a middlefinger ̶t̶̶o̶ from the audience.
I didn't even make it through the first one.
Putting Lady GG in it was the 1st sign it was going after the audiences... and in a not so good way.
Honestly, I feel like one of this movie's biggest problems is just how imperfect the first movie was. I know that there's fans of the first, and while the 2019 movie had its pros, I can’t ignore its flaws. As giving Arthur Fleck/Joker a reason to be Joker, is both the movie's strength, but also its weakness.
You see, while a majority of Batman/Gotham lore goes into great detail about the pathologies of his rogue’s gallery of villains, explaining what made them resort to their messed-up actions, with Joker's case, what makes him work is that he DOESN'T really have a pathology, let alone is suppose to have one.
Sure, he has certain traits such as his obsession with circuses/comedy, his sadistic sense of humor, and his distaste for people not understanding what he's doing (“It’s part of the joke!”). But why Joker is a psychopathic clown is never really explained or really even hinted at, even in The Killing Joke, which Joker (2019) was inspired by, but this was THE WHOLE POINT. He was written as less of a fleshed out character and more of a manifestation of evil itself. A good example of someone like this too, is Judge Holden (Blood Meridian). Someone who's beyond logic or explanation, not a puzzle that can be solved. He just is who he is. Batman literally calls him out for this when he makes his argument about “One Bad Day”. Therefore, adding in so much sympathy to the character, strips from him this disturbing ambiguity, contradicting the entire essence of his character.
It doesn’t even help to that the Director stated how he was inspired by a similar movie The King of Comedy. But those who have seen that movie would actually understand the fact that the main character, Rupert isn’t really all that sympathetic. Sure he has a plan and motivation, which may be some can be empathetic about. The dude is narcissistic, disturbed, and kind of psychotic with the way he’s going about what he’s doing. As well as the fact that the people who comes across him, call him out for his dishonesty, but he claims to the contrary, which leads for us the audience to wonder whether or not he’s even telling the truth or not. Just like most unreliable narrators.
So to see the sequel, try to downplay all this, instead of trying to find a way to work around it to actually make sure that we see that Arthur is 100% in the wrong of his actions, but is already far gone, really feels like the reason the sequel shouldn’t have existed in the first place.
Copyright claiming is just part of WB strategy to recoup investment
"You just hate Joker 2 'cause it's gay." Well, okay, sure, but... Okay, yeah.
I'm so glad this thing bombed and even happier I didn't see it.
2:36 😂😂😂 I love this addition to the video! Very nicely done my friend!
Joker 2 : "All the cultural impact of a fart in a hurricane." Despot's movie reviews are concise yet brutally correct lol
Also, Warner Bros would rather greenlight another season of Velma than making a new Venture Bros season... I wish I was a WB exec, imagine half assing a job and still be paid and hired to do it again?
Bad decisions seem to be WB's secret motto.
Why are you so late with this? And only 1 hour? WTF ami gonna do with that? You cant get me used to 4 hour videos and skimp out on me.
Im not mad, im disappointed. Ill watch out of spite 😂
Love the channel bro
Thanks John!
Rewatching and commenting. Screw demonetization.
Thanks Timmy.
It's a pity that demonetization happened, because this material would have earned more than 2 Joker :D
Hey it's my birthday today. And here's a gift finally!
Happy birthday man!
While Madame Webb, Borderlands, and The Crow are not good movies in their own right, I don't think they have the active contempt for their audience the way Joker 2 does. Argylle, I felt I was sold a false bill of goods, would not recommend.
The crow was carrying contempt for the audience from what I seen.
6:55 thank you Despot for saying the joke knowing full well 95% of your audience will never see Honker 2 🙏🏼
I watched your original video several times and I will rewatch this one several times as well. I never thought I would enjoy The Despot yelling F you at me so much, but here we are!
I've seen the original in full, but I'm going to rewatch this one just so your majesty gets paid
Thanks man, I appreciate it.
The despot has blessed my feed once again
Gaga ruins everything. She ruined American Horror Story back in the day too. She is a terrible actress. I don’t understand why people continue to put her in cinema.
I LOVE your rants! More than 3 of your videos are on heavy rotation, saved my Dirty Pleasures Playlist.
However, I care so little about the Joker sequel that I could even finish this one.
Thank you for reupload because I wanted to see the review two times.
It's a crime to have Arkham Asylum gameplay imposed over that movie. Arkham Joker is one of the best written villains in any piece of entertainment (at least for the first 2 games) and penned by the DC comics writer who created Harley Quinn, modern Holywood doesn't hold a candle to the talent of old comics book writers.
Sooo it’s basically just a joker version of Glee
I did a 6 hour review on this movie. It still doesn't make sense after watching the movie 4 times.
I checked out your channel. I like your room set up, I'm gonna give your Velma review listen later today.
@DespotofAntrim just keep in mind, the video is a sarcastic joke. But thanks! Love your channel and opinions.
❤the thumbnail, and your introduction. I might borrow the DVD 📀 from the library, just to see how bad this is, and so the studio makes as little money as possible
Currently watching 80s/90s movies/shows 👍👍😎. I am fine if Hollywood goes away for 20 years (especially Lucasfilm) 🙏🙏
When I first heard about what they were doing with the sequel I knew this movie was going to suck. I can only watch a sickly skinny joker not knowing what he should do. Random dancing and a super odd relationship with Harley Q. Ugggggggg😫😫😫
Started watching the South Park movie because you made me want to lol. I shit you not, I had the same realization about the name of the movie. I'm 34 and have seen the movie at least 20 times, never realized the joke behind it until last night.
Thanks Despot. Nice to see this one back. I might have gone to see Joker 2, if Arthur had told the guards that they only thought they were great because they had BOATS !
Congrats on 100k!
"FUCK YOU!"
- The Despot, probably 😂
It's just a bit ironic to me that two last big fimls with Phoenix turned out to be giant fuck ups.
Wow Despot, just another unnecessary sequel.
Calling Todd Phillips a sellout is pretty rich now.
Worth watching the whole thing twice. love your humor.
If you re-upload i am gonna watch it the third time!
Joker: nasty ah poo
I typically watch your videos dozens of times. I will watch this one a few more just to make up for the lost views.
I'm leaving a comment just to bolster engagement as I let this video play at 0.25 speed. UA-cam's demonetization nonsense needs to be pushed back wherever possible.
Second upload, but FANTASTIC video ♥♥♥
I had this playing in my bedroom and forgot about it until I heard 37:53. The voice of an angel.
My tinfoil hat about this movie is that it was made to be as awful as possible just to make Warner Bros lose tons of money on it because they wouldn't stop begging for a sequel to be made
Arise, arise, subscribers of The Despot!
Feel deeds awake, fire and laughter!
Teeth shall be shaken, gut shall be busted!
A video day, a red day, here the video rises!
Play now, play now, play Joker 2 is overrated!
That intro was pure comedy gold.
Always a banger from you dawg
I'm sure I commented this on the orginal video but I'll re-comment it for anyone interested..
To get across Just how big a flop Joker 2 is, it cost 200 million in production and another 100 million in marketing. As of now, it has grossed Just about 200 million, worldwide, making it still 100 million in debt.
A film needs to make about 2.5x its budget to be successful and Joker 2 hasn't even made its money back, but Warner Bros' will tell you it's "dominating" the box office 🤣
In reality, the most financially successful film that came out last month was Terrifier 3, a low budget indie film that Hollywood refused to finance and the MPAA refused to rate.
Terrifier 3 cost 2 million in production and half a million in marketing. As of now, it has grossed over 80 million, worldwide. That's well over 30x its budget.
I'm so looking forward to this year's Worst of Woke Awards 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Oh boy, I sure hope there are no shrimp living in my attic!
What's the worst that could happen? You can barbecue them, boil them, broil them, bake them, saute them. Make shrimp kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. You can make them pan fried, deep fried, stir fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich, and that's about it...
Oh no, how terrible, i have an excuse to watch this fantastic video again.
The Despot has returned.
👏🏻...👏🏻...👏🏻...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'll comment to appease the UA-cam overlords
Me too
For the algorithm ✊
