Honestly while we can all agree this movie isnt the best I saw a kind of Joker theme in it of it being the story of the sad fall of some one whos down on there luck into madness through fame. Now of course they are not exactly the same. Outcomes. Actions. Execution of the movie. Public opinion. All of these things factor into it. But you cant deny there are some similarities. Does that make this movie good? Hell no. This movie is by far the greatest Mediocre travesty of a Success to come out of Disney in recent years but is it fun? Sure!

I love how hard Disney tries to romanticize irredeemable villains while completely misunderstanding why Joker succeeded as it's own antagonist origin story movie. Pretty sure not that many people out there can relate with rich, old women who are pathologically obsessed with flaying puppies because "muh parents were killed by dogs!", like that isn't the most easily generic reason the writers could've came up with to drive the character's motives.

[@AsteroSloth]

Again. She doesn’t kills the puppies, not even the grown ass Dalmatians raised by the woman WHO DID killed her ‘mom.’ She actually loves dogs, so much that the friend she has the soonest and still with by the end IS A DOG. It is NOT trying to be a villain story.

[@ablosch2452]

If you ask me, Joker really sucked because they tried to humanize one of the most inhuman DC villains (and plus the movie was boring too). Joker’s history never mattered, he could be anyone or no one, all that matters is his inhumanity and how it’s all a game to him. It’s like the read Batman The Killing Joke and completely glossed over how Joker was freakin wrong. Plus the Batman series has so many other villains who fit the bill of a tragic villain way better than that. It would’ve worked better with ones like Mr Freeze, Two-Face, The Mad Hatter, or even Egghead. But no, I guess it had to be Joker because make recognition.

[@BaronSterling]

@@AsteroSloth Except it literally is. It is the origin story to a villain. A character who is cruel to her underlings and who literally embraces the name "Cruel Devil," and whose story ties directly into the story of the original movie.

@@ablosch2452 But that's kind of the point, it's just supposed to serve as an example of how even the most seemingly innocent of men can have their morality and sanity entirely stripped from them by the conditions of modern society. It doesn't justify what he did but it serves as an explanation of how he would eventually stoop that low. Also why can't Joker have his own origin story? He's literally the most iconic villain in the history of superheroes, and you know we've already seen the origins of Batman enough times to count the amount of breathes we took in our lifetimes, so I think it was about time Joker got the spotlight to himself.

Okay the comment above me is cringe, I have met several guys who do the exact same thing, when you do stuff like saying girls can be worse and you group a entire gender into "them" then it just seems wrong. You literally said "They have to assert their dominance". I'm presuming some girl had done that to you or a friend in the past but legit your comment goes directly against the original comment which is the fact that both guys and girls can be terrible people and that ANYONE can be bad and that grouping a certain gender as worse is wrong. And no saying "sometimes" at the start of your comment doesnt get rid of you basically saying girls act worse.

@@digitalfantasies4570 tbh from what I've seen, girl are often worse than boys, mostly because they can do it so much more subtly and unnoticed, compared to boys.

Not that it should be a contest of who bullies better, both girls and boys should just stop, but I'm just saying that I've only ever found out about girls bullying other students once the victim came out about it or something happened to the victim, while I, for example, saw a boy pull off another boy's shoe and backpack and throw them away on the playground, _literally yesterday_ They had no subtlety whatsoever.

I agree with the rest of it but you didn't need to say the psychopath part. Stop demonizing the mentally ill and just hold people accountable, sociopaths and psychopaths suffer enough from chronic boredom. By generalizing a whole group of disabled people you're not being good in any way, you are silencing the victims of abuse that have ASPD and it's disgusting. Even if you were abused by someone with ASPD and not just diagnosing them because of how they were then it still doesn't mean all of them are like that, would you say that people with depression and PTSD are all abusers? because that's equally shitty and stupid, people were abused by people with those disorders and ASPD but they don't go on saying all of them are like that, there's also psychopaths and sociopaths that are abused by neurotypicals, simple as that. You can still have compassion without empathy, and lacking empathy does NOT mean lacking morality. Ted Bundy might have had ASPD but that doesn't mean murderers can't be neurotypicals too, and that victims can't have ASPD. By saying that all psychopaths are like that, you're being extremely ableist and offensive. You could have used the word murderer or something but psychopathy is a disorder, not an adjective.

This movie should've been a portrayal of falling into insanity and delusion. It should be grotesque and enraging just like the original character of Cruella was. Such a movie should show how she never had compassion, to how brutal extent she'd go o achieve her goals, not a gram of mercy.

Just changing her hair color alone from black and white to red and back to black and white throughout the movie doesn't make sense to me. If she grew up having red hair then chose to change it to black and white for a fashion statement or to hide her identity then I can understand that. Plus if she would wait the dog could crap out her mother necklace.

[@AsteroSloth]

Ok so. This isn’t explained cuz… you guys should be paying attention? She DOES make her *natural* black and white hair into a fashion statement. She changed back to red using a wig that LOOKS like her hair when painted. And she does it to be able to monitor the baroness. It makes sense in all the ways you claim it doesn’t.

@@brunnokamei9623 Yeah, honestly Hades is probably one of the gods who's most respectful of humans. Has one of the more stable relationships with his wife too (ironic, since many interpretations have him trick her into being stuck in the underworld most the year with him as a way to explain changing seasons). Hell, the role Hades has in the disney version of the movie if anything just kinda has Hades take the place of Hera, since it was Zues' wife who had the murder boner for yet another kid born from a woman other than her. Honestly, someone like Ursula funny enough would have probably worked better as a redeemable female villain in general if they're so dead set on it. Her actions when you actually look at it isn't anywhere near as horrid as other villains, you can kinda get why she hates the king, and like Hades she's not even the villain in the original story the disney version is based on. But you know, using villains who are conceivably easy to redeem requires basic thought so-.

As everyone else has said, the original Hades himself was arguably one of the most respectable gods. He didn’t even antagonize the mortals for no reason! The guy simply loved his wife and took care of his three headed dog, while running his crappy job
