JOKER Official Trailer 2
- Thread starter Kenzodielocke
- Start date
In the script it's so fucking unnerving and awkward. Joaquin is going to kill that scene
If I wanted to watch some Tragic Hero tryhard (who was last really relevant in the 2000s) "tell it like it is" to the masses, with a script at times unsubtly pandering to the Nazis, I would subscribe to netflix and watch the new Dave Chappelle "comedy" "special"
I'm struggling to see it as anything other than a Taxi Driver / The King of Comedy imitation, but if those didn't exist as far as a person was aware I can understand seeing it as a validating, 'serious' treatment of comic book material, cringeworthy as that sounds.
Then you have an opinion that is the opposite of mine. Shit happens.
I hope this looks good.
A lot of talent in front of and behind the camera.
Joaquin will bring his A game tho.

Just looked up his twitter, oh man, he's really loves poking the bear lol

If I am guessing. Thomas Wayne is a politician who calls the folks In the opposition in the city as clowns for being so republican like, very similar to Hillary calling trump supporters as deplorables . The alt right like folks take up the clown mantle similar to how trump fans call themselves deplorables. Joker who is apolitical is not the cause but he the symptom of the chaos who becomes the joker at the end , thus representing the clowns in the street as Thomas Wayne called them
Joker = Trump as per the film makers
Clown masked folks = alt right
art immitating life

Joaquin Phoenix is still very relevant. He's turned down roles like Dr. Strange and The Hulk Thai past decade. He prefers working in smaller character based one-off films. The movie looks like a fun comic book meets Taxi Driver story.
^that's true, especially if it locks them into a role for a while like it does in the superhero genre(i.e. Chris Evans being unsure about locking himself in for Cap all those years back)
Having read none of the leaked scripts, I predict The Joker will kill Robert De Niro's character on live tv
Why are they trying to make Joker a sympathetic character? I'll watch it but this trailer did nothing for me.
It's like the most obvious fucking thing. The only question is whether or not they go full Dark Knight Returns
(as in go after the audience)
This is the most tryhard post in this thread lol. These "alt-right" posts are insufferable.
There's no CGI talking raccoons.
This is an all-time hot take.
It's honestly getting a little out of hand. Can't even have an enjoyable discussion about the film without it being brought up.
I love a post that tries SO hard to pander but also complains about pandering.
The Joker does not have a mental illness. He just cracks one day because of shitty circumstances. It's not because he had an underlying mental issue which causes him to snap.
He's supposed to represent that anyone of us having a shitty day can snap at any moment. Forcing this whole mental illness aspect onto him just makes him more sympathetic and ruins his character imo.

The only thing tryhard here is your post.
And another one...
edit: Yeah I'm out. Movie looks cool but this thread is unbearable.
Maybe he planted some bombs. Joker gas is too cartoony for this.
It's called showing nuance and backstory. Whether all of that makes you feel sympathetic to him or not is up to you. You may be shocked to find out that not everyone that does bad things is a bad person all of the time or was not a good person at one point in their life. Life has gray areas like that.
1. What makes Joker a compelling villain is that he's more of a force of nature than anything. There's a reason why he doesn't have a definitive backstory, much of a clear motivation, or even an identity outside of just being a Joker and it works because he's not the focus or PoV of Batman, so there's no reason to get into his head. It's like trying to give a natural disaster a backstory. It's stupid, needless, and you don't need all of that to get it and in fact getting that would ruin the mystique around the Joker. And I highly doubt they're going to go with the "multiple choice path" angle.
2. Have you ever met an edgelord?
Raimi's Spider-Man: When it feels like the whole world is shitting on you, strive to be a better person.
Todd Phillips' Joker: When it feels like the whole world is shitting on you, I guess it makes logical sense you become murderer.
I thought Joker's origins have been explored multiple times in comics?
