The Joker discourse clamming up immediately was actually one of the few acts of self control I've ever seen in the media blogger class. People do really treat superhero movies like secular religion now though, like something that you should "stay in your lane" because of all the support-system fandom communities around it.

Twice I have planned to see The Joker and twice I have decided not to for reasons like “the brown line was going to be five minutes late” and “I would rather clean my apartment a little more before company arrives.” I’ll probably watch it on streaming, unless it doesn’t come to hbo and I’d have to spend seven dollars on amazon to rent it.

This concludes my viewless review.

I actually wonder if the Joker Discourse ending so quickly is a mix of not actually wanting to talk class politics and product is consumed, get excited for next product

the joker isn’t a bad movie it’s just unfocused. Like the writer had ideas but that’s it. Some people like it because it’s vaguely woke but it never really goes anywhere with it.

though you should check out the jokers last speech because it’s hilarious and so dumb

You're probably right there.

I do kinda feel like people get really bent out of shape now whenever the media discourse doesn't come to decisive culture war climax. Like the discourse hype that builds up around things becomes more "exciting" when you imagine it angering the chuds. There was a recent Kotaku article where the author could not enjoy the "sociopathic" goose game without imagining she was tormenting Brexiters.

Chilean protesters donning Joker make-up, while simultaneously not getting paid any attention to in the media, at least to me, says that people did get the correct message out of that movie.

And that it wasn't the message that all the pearl-clutching shitlibs thought it was going to be.

i started watching "succession" and this is like watching a documentary about aliens. setting aside the fact that i'm tired of media trying to get me to think that rich people have problems, i just can't understand anyone's motivations. the main guy loses his loving mind because his dad wants to keep being in charge and its like... okay?? who the gently caress wants MORE responsibility? these people are all billionaires, but they're cutting throats so they can do more loving work. is this mental illness? is it genetic? who wants to have people asking them questions and asking them to make decisions? that's the absolute opposite of what i want, and the idea that someone with more money than god would actively seek out more work is incomprehensible to me

yeah, michael b jordan is always cool. come of the visuals and costume design was sick. but then at the end the last fight looked like a ps2 cutscene and it was embarrassing

The big battle in Wakanda literally hinged on the duty bound all-female honor guard turning on Killmonger because he had GONE TOO FAR. And it wasn't planned for or anything, it was just a spur of the moment reaction that made them defy the one ritual combat that has decided who has the right to rule for all of Wakanda's history.

How these movies inoculate you against supporting ideas like this is show them as sympathetic but also an impossible dream that will get marginalized people killed because of how unserious it is.
