No one wanted to see Jokers character development undone, him beaten, humiliated, gang banged and killed. All while Lady Gaga sings and prances around.
You don't understand this movie. Joker finally murders Arthur Fleck and let's go of his ego entirely. The Arthur Fleck we knew was not a man devoid of empathy. He didn't kill senselessly. He killed people who bullied and hurt him. His brief interaction with puddles and Leigh were the last things holding him to his ego Arthur Fleck. Without that empathy he is Joker. The new Joker that killed Arthur in the end is free to kill without empathy. The end of the second movie is actually the end of the first movie. Without empathy he's free to kill the social worker who's completely innocent. Did you notice how they didn't even acknowledge her death in this movie? Arthur killed seven people in the first movie, not six. Even Arthur doesn't acknowledge this because it didn't happen yet. The visitor waiting for him was the social worker. Now's he's free to escape and fully immerse himself into his shadow. He has nothing left to care about without Leigh. The Folie a Deux is you; it's the audience. Finally, either the man who stabs Arthur is a fabrication in his mind or he's the real Joker. Maybe let go of your desire to have everything spelled out for you and try to see things with a little bit of subtext and subtlety. It makes art more enjoyable when you can do this.
Speak for yourself, I loved the first film and adored this one. don’t get upset because it’s something alien to you. Go watch Venom or other MCU movies if what you want is predictable, crowded movies that lack depth, Better yet Don't I Invite you to Branch out and watch Movies that have Any actual Deep character develoment.
@mfliminal If someone can follow along with the first Joker, they certainly can with the second. Also, if you think that either Joker requires deep philosophical thinking to follow along then you've got a very simple mind. Both Jokers are pretty easy to follow and I can think of a dozen movies off the top of my head that require actual thinking and neither Joker is even close to on that list lol
If you don’t concern about DC arc and the fans, then don’t take advantage of DC’s Joker IP and make your own clown movie. That is the bold move. Don’t cowardly hide behind the mask of art and creativity.
WTF are you Going on about? How would you have approached this film? Joker 1 introduced us to a character we've seen thousands of iterations of, And Todd Phillips ambitiously took pieces of that and made them work in a real world context. This film delivers realism and true depth, with meaningful exploration behind every scene, rather than relying on shallow cameos to elicit crowd reactions. This narrative may not be for you at least, not yet. The musical aspect in this installment was beautifully executed, blending seamlessly into the story. And that ending? It was powerful.
@mfliminal Majority of fans disagree with you and the second movie ruined so much of what the first film established. There shouldn't have been a sequel in the first place. Don't even get me started on the casting of Gag as Harley Quinn. It's like they found the person who least resembles the beautiful Harley Quinn.
@@mfliminalyou are a joke and probably one of the only people on this planet that enjoyed that garbage of a movie. There will always be people like you defending trash no matter what. This movie sucked and that’s facts
Please retire, you have destroyed one of the most iconic roles in film history. Even the Joker in Suicide squad was better. What the hell was that fever dream on LSD . I'm going to watch The Dark Knight now and cry myself to sleep.
Movies can be art. But they are always a product. So matter what you might be trying to induce in the observer, if the consumer is unsatisfied you failed.
I'll never understand why they ruined the first Joker on purpose, but it's not Todd's fault. In fact, I have a feeling that he got forced to make this unnecessary sequel.
I hope I’m around in 10 years time to watch and read people eat their words… when they finally realise that Joker: FAD is a great follow up to an exceptional movie.
OH MY GOD YOU CAN SEE IT. What an utter fucking masterpiece this movie is? What the hell is going on? Gaga deserves an Oscar. Brilliant film and it stands on it's own away from the Scorsese fetishism of the first. Phoenix's utterly broken humanity when the mask slips and he starts crying in the courtroom for what he's done to Gary, his one and only real friend. This film is heartbreaking and also weirdly joyful at the same time. Harley Quinn is monstrously evil in this movie. She makes Margot's Harley look like a cartoon. The ending that elevated Arthur from gun toting psycho to 'the ORIGINAL Joker', a god among maniacs, a religious figure the Bat can never dislodge or capture and who was most likely his brother. I like it more than the first. This is actually scary, that a film so brilliant can be released to such bitter disappointment at not being spoon fed Batman/punch/Joker/punch drivel.
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one defending this film it definitely feels that way, lol. Absolutely, this film was such a cathartic experience. I appreciate your Brain.
Lol. The film makes the 1st movie obsolete. And I have a few fundamental gripes about the 1st movie....but it was a classic. The sequel didn't have to be made. It should've just been called "The Tragedy of Arthur". The Joker didn't actually show up in the sequel.
Please. Can I get some likes so that we can open a thread for those of us who see what an utter fucking masterpiece this movie is? What the hell is going on? Gaga deserves an Oscar. Absolutely EVIL in this. Brilliant film, almost better than the first. I said it.
The film was literally called Joker therfore it could never be labeled a masterpiece. Literally call it joker origins or Arthur and it would have been a good movie but set people up to see the Prince clown of crime and produce this? Atrocious
@@thebakedjake_ He's beyond a title such as 'clown prince of crime'. Arthur is the ORIGINAL Joker. The first to stand up and defy the society that spurred them. His death isn't the end, it's his coronation. He's the myth, the legend. The man who shot dead a talk show host who abused mentally ill people for ratings on live TV. Joker is the man who stood up for those nobody stands up for. He was murdered by a demented fan, somebody who wanted to BE him and now is, only lacking Arthur's humanity. After THAT Joker is taken care of, there will be another, and another and another. Forever. The chaos goes on an on and will never end as long as Arthur's legacy stands. Arthur Fleck is a symbol of mentally ill chaos worshiped by razor mouthed psychos. It's so fucking epic, but squares just want 'mUh JoKeR tO kIlL mOrE pEoPlE" "sHoOt MaN jOkEr FuNnEH!"
Leigh Gill or Phoenix would be worthy of an Oscar. The film was ok, not great. I enjoyed the cinematography and the usual visuals expected from Phillips, even though they seemed a bit cliched. The musical idea was ridiculous and the film was anti climactic. Todd Phillips had a golden opportunity, but he dropped the ball.

Nice humiliation ritual
i loved this movie, it was a brilliant masterpiece and I'm happy that no one understands it. It makes it even more special.
Care to explain?
🙄 yeah you're the intellectual alright lol. everyone who didn't like it just didn't get it
Thank you Todd for having the balls to make something original. Just saw it for the second time in IMAX. Brilliant!!
The guy hates the fans of the first movie.

He makes fun of mediocrity, i love this movie
no

This man is so obsessed with Disney music that he forgot joker existed.
So the lesson hers is…
Don’t let this man do sequels to his own movies
Na I liked the Hangover sequels
TODD YOUR LEGECY IS GONE
How to ruin a billion dollar franchise: The Movie
💯
The Musical*
It was good tho
Look at you focusing on money instead of art. Both movies are fantastic
@@ManifestScrutiny you can make an argument for the first one but the sequel is considered not good overwhelmingly by fandom, gen public and critics 🤷
Please retire, you have destroyed one of the most iconic roles in film history. Even the Joker in Suicide squad was better. What the hell was that fever dream on LSD .
I'm going to watch The Dark Knight now and cry myself to sleep.
Hilarious and very sad to see this bot comment trolling

It’s Warner bros and their endless lust for money.
@@フランクランドン Do you think making a sequel was unnecessary from a beginning?
They could have always gotten another director. Didn’t need to be Todd Philips.
Phht. How did they ruin it?
I liked the movie :)
Same
Yeah me too
Oh wow, he was sincere in making the sequel, that’s sadder in a way. When Arthur Fleck becomes the script writers.
He created sooooo much art...
Only to destroy that art in the sequel
I hope I’m around in 10 years time to watch and read people eat their words… when they finally realise that Joker: FAD is a great follow up to an exceptional movie.

From a narrative standpoint it was pretty bad. 15 years from now it'll go down as one those cases of the "sequel jinx".
Guy tried to make a movie about a clown, ended up making a clown movie💀
Atleast I know to never watch a Todd phillips movie😂
Betting Todd Phillips has seen both AT LONG LAST LOVE and ONE FROM THE HEART.
0:50 You can't concern yourself with those pesky fans and what they've come to expect of something they've been a fan of for decades.
Joker 2: The Squeakuel

‘Creating art’? I’m sorry but this guy’s deluded
Pretty sure Todd Philips had AI write this brainless script
🎸👍🤙
Is that you fk up "joker" this classic character?
$$$
I knew he would do something unique with the sequel. Great job
🤓🤓🤓
Elaborate
We never asked for this 😢
