[@jackjackson2605]

@@zakzak5892 About humour/bathos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe AKA the basic human behaviour. They're never going to stop with the humour because it's more realistic and makes the characters more relatable. psychologically healthy people gravitate towards people and things that can make them laugh and feel like they're having fun. The humour is probably the only thing about these movies that keeps the audience coming back. Feeling like they HAD FUN!!! Humour is used to enhance drama because once you can make the audience laugh, you get them on your side. You get them to give $h!T what the characters are going through. This is why the Zack Snyder films are so horrible. Superman died and the movie had done literally nothing to make me like him. He was a moody arrogant moron for most of the film and they expected me to care when they killed him. It was the most I'd ever laughed at a movie and I was genuinely happy he couldn't hurt anymore innocent people. Think about the people in your life who you enjoy being around the most. They're probably funny. Also about comic book movie fatigue. When I went to see Endgame there were kids who weren't even born when Avengers hit cinemas. You don't have to worry about people getting bored of the MCU when new fans are literally being born everyday. Captain Marvel made 1.1 BILLION $$$ and has an "A" cinemascore. Angry manbabies on the internet affected nothing. There are at least 305 thousand scumbags on the internet according to Geeks+Gamers subscriber count. The MCU should never have been making movies for those kinds of people. If Ghostbusters (a film that's much better than any comic book movie) came out today, you'd have 35 year old man babies crying that there were too many jokes and demanding that if a sequel is made it should have the same tone as a Bourne movie. Ridiculous. I also love how people rarely give examples of humour undercutting anything. It's just a general statement like they're too lazy to think of a criticism so they just go with one that's been thrown around message boards: music not memorable, cinetatography bad etc.

I understand this is baked into the character, but alas, I just don’t think you can have your cake and eat it too in this regard. He should have been more of an irredeemable loser like Travis Bickle, since that was clearly the movie Todd Phillips wanted to make anyways.

I thought the Joker film was ok but something that really annoys me about it, and this sounds silly, the thing that really annoys me about the film is that itst called "Joker" and not "The Joker". Silly, I know, but it really annoys me

[@MarmaladeSally]

So refreshing to hear this. I thought I was the only one who didn’t like The Joker. The whole time I was saying to myself, “alright we get it! He’s down-trotted and pathetic!”

[@nemsimic]

It was honestly very contrived. I thought it was really stupid how it became this social commentary at the end. Shoulda just shot the late night host rather than preaching about society and mental illness

[@roboninja3194]

@@nemsimic 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️Go watch The Dark Knight. Was Ledger's Joker about society and mental illness? Definitely. Because that's a huge part of the Joker. Duh.

[@nemsimic]

@@roboninja3194 yes but I don't feel like it was jammed in there for some kind of political points. Heath Ledger's Joker seemed to be deeper and more archetypal. The other Joker ended up seeming like an extended mental health advertisement with his exclamation about society and mental illness.

[@atomicalien4]

@@nemsimic honestly I loved the movie but the speech where he goes "ur awful Murry" took me WAY outta the film because he's doing like child temper tantrum faces pouting his lips and shit and sayin things that sound like I wrote it when I was in my pretentious filmmaker phase "what happens when u cross a mentally ill man? YOU GET WHAT YOU FUCKEN DESERVE!" Which is literally such a shitty line I can't even begin. Ppl still quote that scene and I feel like im the only one who fucken CRINGED at that godawful dialouge it's like Todd Phillips gave a 12 year old the script for 10 seconds. I would've liked it if joker was more of an adult, if he was less "goofy" or maybe even less nice. Cuz they do like this weird thing where physically he is an adult but he has all these child like almost retard like qualities to him which I thought was a very lazy way to get the audience to sympathize with him. The killings and his more subtle ways of performance made it really good! All tho one last thing is it honestly doesn't have a whole lot of replay value.

[@juniorhernandez3347]

Spot on with the brutal “we’re normal superheroes” scenes in every marvel movie ever. Marvel is lame but it’s popular because the kids love it.

[@toddwareham]

I'm glad Louis compared The Master with the Joker. The latter is an insignificant film in comparison. I found The Joker to be trivial and overdramatic at best. Joaquin was amazing as always though.

[@juju-vl7oj]

I love all of the movies people say Joker is like but trivial and worse like The Master, Taxi Driver , King of Comedy etc. but I actually also loved Joker. I just of saw it as taking place in a half comic book/cartoonish kind of world that mirrored themes of the real world but it didn't take place in the real world like those other films , so I thought the material people describe as heavy handed actually was suited for the "world" it existed in. Perhaps it'll always just be my subjective interpretation of why the film worked but the divide on the reception of the film has intrigued me since its release and I'm interested in figuring out why it's objectively bad to people or why the commentary on mental illness in society was weak in your opinion?

[@toddwareham]

@@juju-vl7oj I think it just has to do with a superhero-villain fantasy movie being further removed from reality. A commentary on mental health issues in a fictional movie about realistic circumstances is more substantial than a commentary in a movie that has a storyline taking place in a purely fictitious universe like Joker. Personally I dont like superhero- villain movies or shows so Joker just wasnt interesting to me. Plus it relied solely on Joaquins performance so after a while the film felt stale.

[@andremachado3831]

Maybe you found it so trivial because you're a joker yourself
