Incels after watching Joker:
I kid, seriously stop the concern trolling over a damn film.
I really liked that movie. I think that would be another exception to the rule though.
Nope. Just me
Fortunately I'm a trained actor with a degree in Performing Arts
Neat. I could go for a less bombastic power trip comic book movie.
Please continue then. You're one of the best posters.

so so tired of some press attached to this movie, with some guys crowning this film as an incel love letter, annoys the hell out of me, blaming movies for deep rooted issues
it's as reductive as the right wing blaming violent video games ( which even have higher engagement and time spent ) for violent behaviour,

I agree, but to be fair, Todd Phillips also had Scott Silver co-writing the screenplay.
Scott Silver has a history of writing/co-writing good serious dramas. Like 8 Mile and The Fighter.
Ah, okay. I'm not too familiar with him or his works.
He also got to work with Scorsese's crew (the same people worked on The Irishman) and producer Emma Tillinger Koskoff (Scorsese's protégé since The Departed).I agree, but to be fair, Todd Phillips also had Scott Silver co-writing the screenplay.

Some of the best people in the industry worked on Joker, the stars were aligned.
I feel like Travis' costume literally being his jacket from Vietnam is the film's way of saying it's very much a part of him and how he's behaving.
That is very interesting. Very similar to the Joker in fact based on spoilers that have been confirmed by the recent trailer and reviews.
MAJOR JOKER SPOILER
Joker's red suit belongs to his mother (adoptive) who he murders after finding out that she tortured and neglected him when he was young.
Apparently there are about 3-4 laughs. They evolve throughout the movie and the one when he's full Joker is "the one" so I'm excited to hear that. (This was mentioned in a video I posted yesterday)
That... Jesus.... these trailers do not set you up for. And that's awesome.
Do people not realize that the "incel flavoring" being complained about can simply refer to the movie experience not being enjoyable?
If someone complains about incel vibes it doesn't have to mean they think the world is going to suddenly get worse as a result, it can just mean it made the movie worse.

Seems silly to think the film will provoke violence. It's more likely to just be the sort of polished edgy mediocrity guaranteed to sell a lot of movie posters to college kids like Boondock Saints before it. Tacky but socially harmless.
Yeah, this is like someone saying "could Doom Eternal cause mass shootings" like no, we've been over this.
The crazy thing is I think Leto had it in him to pull a Heath Ledger caliber Joker, he was just roped into the awful schlocky world that David Ayer crafted. Obviously molding that Joker into that image. As cringey as it was.
As a gamer, lover of hip hop and lover of horror films any day I should be forced to go on a murder spree according to people. Any day now.
Seriously though these conversations are stupid and the pearl clutching on a video game forum is fucking weird.

With Todd Philips behind it I was very skeptical. But hopefully this turns out great and makes money so we can get different kinds of Marvel/DC films. Deadpool proved rated R comic movies can work, but if this actually does result in awards I could see it leading to far more interesting projects using comic characters.
Blows my mind how high the scores are for this thing considering how many review blurbs I've skimmed through follows the compliments with sly jabs.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing this but less so to all of the cringey counter culture shit that Joker stuff seems to spawn.

I'm not saying we should blame media over gun control, but studies have shown a link between prolonged media exposure and an individual's perception of "reality" becoming aligned with the frame of the media. With that said, I have been looking forward to this film ever since it and its casting was first announced, and I am sure most here won't go on a rampage due to this film.
Seriously. Vietnam being a horrific thing that alienated and atomized those who went there is most certainly a salient undercurrent of the film. What its relationship to Travis is - if he's just the kind of fucked up person who wants to go to war, if he got fucked up by what he saw there, or something else entirely - is of course debatable, but the fact he is propelled by a microcosmic version of America self-appointing itself the world's hero is not merely incidental.

I have a B in GCSE Drama, I'll be your understudy. I've already been practicing your lines:
"Wherefore art Thou mine wrestling-shirt? I must Don you hence before I can endeavour in a round of sparring with The Knights Of Choke, for I amst a villain!"
Much, much better reviews than expected. I read some of the script and wasn't too impressed with it so glad to see the movie worked out.
Was concerned it would just be overly-edgy and dark. Seems not.

The difference between top critics and all critics is pretty interesting.
Yes. I know that nobody looks at top critics.
Edit: but the top critic average is still 8,33 wtf lol.

Yes, still a super high rating there as well. Also some fresh reviews are missing from that.
Yep, it's strange lol. Seems like it's a very well-made film but it's gonna be controversial as all hell.
Was going to point that out, not often that the score aggregate is higher than the tomato rating thing.
A lot of the 98-99% fresh movies are often in the 8/10 range.

For sure. It was a huge gamble on WB's part, that's for sure.
