Box office isn’t everything, not anymore. They’ll make it back in collectible trash they sell to incels
Are there enough incels who are willing to pay for Joker merch?
There’s a whole online industry dedicated to making more incels, folks like Jordan Peterson. It’s been depressingly effective.
Manufacturing weirdos that are disconnected from reality is straightforward, and the fascists are investing heavily in it because from there, they practically push themselves into voting against their own interests with hate, conspiracism, and memes. Steve Bannon has explicitly stated that this is a core tactic of his.
If only it weren’t a musical
The musical aspect was the only reason I was even a little interested
It’s enough to quash any curiosity I have about it. I wonder what the overall sentiment is for musicals.
Personally, I’ve always hated TV episodes that turn a non-musical show musical.
Clone High, Buffy, and Mega64’s musical episodes were all great top tier masterclasses.
I’m sure there are more I’m missing.
And Flight of the Conchords is a contender for best TV show of all time, IMHO.
Yes, same for me, maybe with exceptions, for example Supernatural.
Great song but they just end it when it’s supposed to be good!
That killed any interest I had in this franchise. The addition of Gaga solidified I wouldn’t be watching this. One of the best psychological, low key dramas of the last decade, so let’s make the sequel a musical and add a trendy pop star into it! Not to mention Gaga is an overrated, overproduced nepo baby. But that’s just my opinion
Interesting that it had no test screening. Would the movie have been savable with reshoots and re-edits?
Release the reddig33 Cut!
Only if they reshoot the entire film with another script, they practically did a Matrix 4 again, just because a minority of fans of the first film had bad takes they ruined what many normal people loved.
I liked it.
Same. It’s not a bad film. It is a fairly logical progression from the first movie. I was actually surprised it wasn’t more fantastical. There were several points where they could have escalated to a city wide musical caper, but they kept it grounded.
People spontaneously breaking into song isn’t grounded
It’s a conceit of the genre, it gets a pass.
Trying to explain why people are breaking into song doesn’t ground it any more, and trying to make it “realistic” singing such as part of a stage show or rehearsals just weakens the strengths of the genre.
If they’d put in double stair kicks this would have made $2 billion.
Because they have money to burn?
WDB is deep in debt, taken on when they merged. So no they don’t have money to burn.
They spent less than they pay their ceo
