And they did it so successfully that literally no one is defending it. Many of the rags and Woke reviewers so far are also shitting on it because it is just that fucking bad of a movie all around. Not bad because "the message" alone but actively bad on all accounts.
Which means that they are failing to get the audience necessary to pick up this bludgeon they've made and beat it into us. Its hard to feel humiliated by something when its currently bringing people together to mock it.
Though it is getting the rats to scurry out to be like "the first wasn't that good either" now that they think they won't get grilled for it. Including the absolute woman moment line I saw of "Arthur was creepy, that's why bad things happen to him and I couldn't feel bad for it."
i can't recall where i read it, might even have been on this board. where someone explained that the joker was a chick-flick just with a guy inserted in the role of the woman.
Considering it involves a guy saving himself from his troubles and not a mystical prince coming to save him/her, I think its far from a chickflick.
It certainly has the misery porn aspect of most chick movies, but the way it goes about it could only happen to a man because if it was a woman people would have lost thier minds about how evil everyone is.
Instead you get people arguing that Arthur was "evil" and "creepy" for standing up for himself.
"Arthur was creepy, that's why bad things happen to him and I couldn't feel bad for it."
"Women are more empathetic", my ass.
