The U.S. military has warned service members about the potential for a mass shooter at screenings of the Warner Bros. film Joker, which has sparked wide concerns from, among others, the families of those killed during the 2012 mass shooting in Aurora, Colorado.

also big lols that they literally made the joker an incel instead of some dude who fell into some acid

quote:

Rather than being transformed into the “Joker” after falling into a vat of acid—as the villain so often does in depictions of his DC Comics origin—a harsh life compounded by constant mockery and an inability to “get the girl” is what ultimately leads to his rise as the infamously batty executioner

I don't think incels are nearly as large or dangerous as people are making them out to be. To me, they appear to be just the news media's current favorite bogey-men, in which a statistically insignificant number of cases are vastly blown out of proportion.

I can't answer this question anymore because the studio forbid me after I kept insisting that the Joker have a scene where he spies on Batman and comments on his penis, both revealing he knows Batman's true identity and Batman's penis. I demanded that the public had a right to know all about Batman's penis. I was willing to get fired over it, but they compromised and told me I could have my penis out during filming if I dropped the Batman's penis thing. I think I made the wrong decision and am filled with regret because everyone has to know, everyone should know about Batman's penis. Why has there been nothing about it yet, nothing done about it yet?

I read a review that he isn't really incel, he has a hot neighbor who doesn't turn him away

Here: https://www.filmfreakcentral.net/ffc/2019/09/tiff-2019-joker.html


quote:

Phoenix is arguably the first actor since Cesar Romero to accept that Joker isn't just a psychopath, he's also a complete dork.
...

(Director) remains reluctant to interrogate the reliably white, entitled males who are his protagonists and primary demographic alike. Arthur is not an incel: his gorgeous, single-mom neighbour (Zazie Beetz) does not spurn his clumsy overtures, although the offscreen nature of this relationship (most of Beetz's role has been obviously and unforgivably left on the cutting-room floor) makes its purpose--to defuse a hot-button stereotype--painfully clear.

Idk man it looks like they poo poo up the jokers character as much as the new Batman’s poo poo up Batman’s character. But in a cool, ironic way that reveals.. the dark side of the joker. Which is like, he’s already p dark. So it’s not some fallen hero sort of melancholia poo poo I guess. :shrug:

Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia


also here's a stupid take
---------------------------->
doesn't the jokers backstory change constantly depending on the circumstance because he is an unreliable narrator and it doesn't really matter how he became insane

i think they are as large as they appear to be but i think the ones that are dangerous quickly become dangerous because of the insane game of chicken most incels play with suicide and / or murder. i doubt the joker movie has anything happen because of it in an obvious sense. im sure some one on the fence of inceldom will get pushed over into being a full blown incel because of it but maybe thats balanced out by people on the fence falling the other way.
