I really wonder what's happening here and why everyone is hating this movie so much. I really have to watch it 🤣 @Lilja K @Matt! @Cult Icon

 

‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ Drops Record 81% in Second Weekend

 

the previous film grossed over $1 billion & the director, lady gaga, & phoenix were given 8-figure salaries for the sequel.  It seems like this will the final film given what I've read about the ending.  Besides being disliked by people who saw it but the premise & ending goes against what is established in the comic book universe.

 

The relationship between Harley Quinn & Joker is meant to be dominated by the Joker.  The Joker never plays second fiddle nor does he ever really 'listen' to Harley.  Harley is a totally enthralled follower, and obsessed with him.   She does break up with him from time to time but always manages to relapse some how, and her break ups tend to intwine her with the Batman, which she has sexual tension with.

 

There are scenarios from comic book writers where the Joker does revert back to his old identity though.  I think the mainstream audiences don't know that.

 

From what I gather the ending of Joker 2 is kind of a response to the controversy of Joker 1 in which critics were complaining that the film was glorifying lone-wolf violence & acts of terror.  So it is a cop-out in a sense, and self- protective of the filmmakers.

I finished listening to the audiobooks for the Witcher novels for a second time.  It's too bad that the franchise is on the decline- only a successful Witcher 4 can save it.  It's faded so much on youtube.

 

Silent Hill 2 & the remake are amazing games & story.  It is definitely one of the best written games ever made, with the most psychologically deep characters and scenarios.  It is high emotional IQ compared to Resident Evil.   I regret not playing it when I was a teen, and instead playing the SH3 which has an average story.  No wonder this game is seen as a classic for 2 decades.

💯 accurate.

Please tell me which ones. If I understood correctly, there is no general canon of the Joker's origin. And over time, there have been different interpretations depending on the series/universe. The robber who fell into chemicals is the most familiar to me. But I'd be interested to know more.

I don't really recall the exact names of these comics, it was too long ago.  Yes, you are right- like other franchises the different artists & writers develop their own interpretation of the characters and create their own stories but within boundaries of their publishing house.  I think there is a general tendency to stay within certain boundaries.

 

There are different origin stories of the joker as well.

 

"the Killing Joke" is often considered one of the best if not the best take:

 

Batman: The Killing Joke Deluxe (New Edition) TPB - Read Batman: The Killing Joke Deluxe (New Edition) TPB comic online in high quality (readcomiconline.li)

 

read comic online has tons of batman content, if you search for it you will find a huge collection.

 

This series features Harley Quinn as a good girl for instance.

It looks like youtube is starting to de-monetize onlyfans girls for being 'too sexual' on the platform.  They've been making good money for so many years and now youtube responds lol.

 

Youtube is also shadowbanning & de-monetizing Ukraine war content after promoting it aggressively for about 1.5 years

The Killing Joke is considered cult classic and I understand why. I even have a physical copy. I like the "human" view of the origin of the inhuman Joker. In the end, "just one bad day" can happen to everyone.

 

I'm not familiar with White Knight, thanks for the recommendation🌸

Finished watching the Silent Hill 2 remake story.  It's pretty much one of the best video game stories ever- perfectly written, devastating, and very memorable.   The game has already sold 1 million copies after a few days.  I won't be surprised if years down the line it gets made as a film like the Last of Us- it is actually very filmable.
