Joker Wins Best Film At Venice

He did a convincing job walking on set and being himself, I guess.
He wasn't very compelling to watch, and I kept thinking how much better a character actor would have been.
I'm glad he worked for you, then. Every rewatch he's the lone sour spot for me.
I thought he was just...boring. He is normally charismatic but the role sucked all energy out of him. Sort of felt out of place with everyone.
Nobody cares about jobber Thanos now that Endgame is over.

Lol
DramaByte, have you ever have anything positive to say in a non Disney thread?
If he'd played that role I would proceed to headcanon that BR is the same universe as 'The Man Who Fell to Earth'
Based on a search of the hashtag it appears to be a handful of people hyped about the movie, Smash ultimate Joker players and a couple clown world weirdos using the tag. Seems like a whole bunch of nothing.
he's a bad guy, bad people like bad guys.

I don't actually. It's something that I've seen repeated here, but nobody ever gives any sources when I ask about it. Though not that it would matter much. White supremacist group has also seen themselves as Batman the hero of Gotham, when counter protestors were dressed as clowns and were seen as the villain like Joker. But I'd be interested to read about how incels or alt-right (which one is it?) have embraced Joker as their symbol, if you can provide links.
Well it's a good thing MCU villains are usually so badly done the only thing they inspire is me going to the washrooms during their scenes.
We are #JOKER GANG.
We are Clowns.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.
So targeted harassment is fine as long as it is against something you don't like. Got it.
Oof. Something something so edgy. Something something edgelord.
But nah I totally agree. Hope this DC elseworlds line takes off and they focus on R rated stuff. Now that Fox is gone we need something to fill that void.
Was there this same kind of concern trolling around V for Vendetta inspiring Guy Fawkes mask-wearing 4channers too?
That's a lot of bathroom trips for one movie.
I mean it's only the top award from the oldest film festival in the world and was the launching pad for Birdman, La La Land, The Shape of Water, and Roma. Pretty sure Venice films do better at the Oscars than selections from Cannes or Berlin.
I don't recall ever seeing concern trolling for a movie on this level before.
Movie critics actively participating in concern trolling is a first I think.
People wanted this to be shit/get panned really bad, for some reason. I don't buy the incel angle as Joker as the charismatic but deranged villain protagonist is not exactly a new concept.
In fairness, according to statistics Mad Titan attacks trying to commit genocide went up by 48% after the release of infinity war.
"This film is going to cause mass hysteria" has been a common saying for decades and decades now. Like literally dozens of films over close to a century of filmmaking. You know how many films legitimately inspire mass hysteria? Zero.
I swear some of you on this board have no awareness about the world outside your own little bubble. At least read a damn Wikipedia page.

Looking at the films he's done, I wonder if Todd Philips thought he had it in him.....
Truth. They even somehow got the crappy Lion King remake in the top 10 highest grossing movies, and I can never forgive them for that lol
Hahaha no. Even with the success of Infinity War and Endgame, the Joker is on another level from Thanos.
And so? Joker is also a symbol of silly gamer rise up and mocking edgelord memes. Do you expect DC to kill off the character and never use him again because some bad people make use of him?
Frankly it's kind of annoying how MCU fans are trying to bring up a moral panic over a film just because they're mad at critics/award committees for not properly praising Kevin Feige and his films. Marvel doesn't deserve awards for simply existing. No one does. The billions of dollars they've earned at the BO should be enough for them and their fans.
Which is all funny considering it used to be DCEU fans who were the ones raging at critics a few years back.
So does Era have a real issue with the joker being a legit good movie or what? Can't remember last time a movie got a thread for every new critic related media
Era doesn't have a problem with Joker being a good film. Just a few salty MCU/Disney fans seem to though.
