Consider the following:

If Inside Out 2 wins Best Animated Feature at the next Oscars, then a movie with traditional animation in it will have won the Oscar two years running.

Joker 2 just got the worst cinemascore of ANY comicbook movie ever with a D.
Anything below an A- is considered bad for this kinda movie.
D is utterly ****ing dreadful

Lowkey feels like a movie that was made because they accidentally attracted the wrong audience, so they overcorrected it in the opposite direction but other audience hated the movie too so now nobody likes or wants it.

Ironically, I feel The Batman was the same, they accidentally had people agreeing with the Riddler and him picking off the corrupt elites, so The Batman 2 is just gonna be copaganda.

I'm upset they made a musical with Lady Gaga and then they didn't use her.
Gaga was pretty much doing piano and gold digging simp work

never watched Morbius, Madame Web, and especially not Fant4stic…but after watching the movie I might have to watch all 3 of those films to cleanse my sins and regrets

Imagine if instead of making MvCI, Capcom had made a follow up to Marvel Super Heroes and just made a Marvel fighting game.

Honestly I think that would have gone over better.

Am I crazy? Cause neither of those things sound like they would ruin the script if properly executed.
1. Yes

2. If those scores and critical responses are to be believed, it clearly wasn’t.

3. I’m afraid to ask how you would see a SA on the protagonist causing a mindbreak being executed well but are you seriously trying to defend a gross narrative decision like this? Snake this is not a hill you want to die on

So Coyote Vs ACME had a positive test screening with audiences before it ended up being shelved and yet WB did no test screenings for the Joker sequel at all before it was completed?
Don't forget Batgirl testing well. Clearly, we need racists who don't actually watch or play the things they pretend to care about as the next focus group for all movies

Not if no one pulls up for Joker 2

...is what I would like to say but David Zaslav's business strategy has proven many times to be totally incomprehensible

So an update on my life
This next week is my dog's last week of life. Putting him down next saturday. It's gonna hurt like a mf, but I'm ready for it. He's been suffering for a year or two; started with him struggling to walk, and as time progressed, he can't control his "accidents", struggles to keep food down, and also forces vomits a lot. It's been tough watch him deteriorate like thay, but now I know it's time for him to go. He lived a good 14+ years, but I can see pain in his eyes on occassion.

I'm gonna cry like a baby when it happens. Not going to the animal hospital because I just can't handle those. At the very least, I'm prepped for this, unlike my other dog who just unexpectedly got extremely sick and had to be put down within 24 hours.

I'm gonna miss him.
So that day has finally arrived.

Not feeling upset or anything, I saw him a couple days ago and spent hours of whatever he could muster up for playtime. Was bittersweet, totally didn't breakdown and cry as it was happening.

It's the right move. I'm gonna be with the fam, but if you're reading this past 10 CT, he's more than likely gone. Thanks for all the kind words the other day.

So like… have you never heard of Law and Order SVU? Or like… any modern crime drama?

Like, I agree movies can and should push boundaries when deemed needed for the sake of story telling but didn't you have an issue with Starship Troopers for similar reasons, only for Joker 2 to not be deliberately goofy and satirical?

Snake there is a difference between a crime show having crime and a Joker movie having a scene where the Joker gets the evil ***** out of him.

One feels a bit more out of place to me.
Fair. It just sounded to me like people were upset that it included SA at all instead of the specific execution. But that's probably just how I was reading people's posts.

Fair point. Starship Troopers made me sad.

I mean male SA causing a mindbreak and mental destruction can be executed well, but it has to be handled with tact. Joker 2 didn't handle it with tact.

Just gonna layout Invincible for doing it much better.
When Invincible adapts that moment in animated form, it’s gonna cause chaos…especially for the thirsty men who want that.

I'm starting to think Doctor Doom is not as benevolent of a leader as he claims...

For real though, I love giant raid bosses in basically anything. This is what the end of Chapter 3 should have been. I like how we have Mini-events in addition to the full on end of chapter events.
