I'm traveling at the moment and have some down time to watch movies On Demand.
Nothing too earth shattering, but I noticed a few woke themes that were new to me in the IPs.
I had seen the OG Joker before, but had completely forgot about Joaquin Phoenix' shoehorned delusional relationship with his single mom black tenement neighbor.
It really stuck out in a movie that was otherwise acclaimed as being representative of "incel rage". I likely wasn't as redpilled as I was now when I saw The Joker originally in 2019-2020, so I probably didn't notice it on the first run.
Still haven't seen The Joker II. All I know is that everyone else hated it and I, Hypocrite loved it, possibly as a troll.
I'd never see A Man Named Otto before with Tom Hanks, but remember the previews.
I watched the first half. It reminded me of a cleaner Gran Torino with Clint Eastwood, where a crotchety widower slowly gets won over by his DEI neighbors as they flood his white picket fence formerly White street.
Then I turned it off immediately halfway through when some pooner flyer deliverer on a bike tells Hanks that she was transgender and his dead wife HS teacher was the only one who was ever nice to her.
I remember watching A Man Named Otto and writing about it here on the board a while ago. I was expected the regular amount of PC leftist garbage but the trans thing shocked me. This guy who couldn't fathom his friend driving a different car brand or teenage workers at Loews just instantly accepts a tranny.
Joker, which I enjoy, is such a simple movie for the ruckus that surrounded it. Over a billion dollars for a pastiche of 3 Scorsese movies. And the fear of the white incel rage the media was terrified of.
The black single mother neighbor delusional love interest in The Joker at least makes some sense thematically because it is emphasized that Arthur Fleck and his equally delusional mother are struggling & poor living in Gotham's worst projects.
But I still had forgotten that the DEI love interest was completely crowbarred in there in the first place.
Then there’s the fact that it is later revealed that Arthur hallucinated all the affection with her in the first place. Which could either be considered a win against miscegenation. Or a wider commentary that a White disabled low class loser like Fleck doesn't even deserve attention from a single mother slay qween.
"Woke". "Slay". "Qween". If you hate niggers so much then stop giving lip service to their trashy, faux-rugged ebonics and slang. Doing it this much is not mocking the language, it is embracing it and normalizing it as part of the broader decadent culture.
Why are you telling people how to post when you post at the rate of Punxsutawney Phil?
Overusing the adjective "woke" as an insult is no better than using it as a compliment to toot your own horn and self-identify as being holier-than-thou, wiser-than-thou, and more awakened than the people who are not also on "your side" ideologically.
The thing about it is, the black single mother neighbor works because Arthur is a poor loser living in a shit neighborhood. The exact place you'd expect to find such a girl, with the only unrealistic part being she isn't obese. And her not being a raging bitch, as such a person would be, is likely part of his delusion that someone is nice to him.
Its likely that it was included to make sure to have a "positive black character" in the otherwise mostly white cast (as both the fat lady on the bus and his therapist are awful people) which is a Woke reason, but I don't think it was truly shoehorned as it would be even more unrealistic to pretend a poor ghetto in not-NYC doesn't have a nigger in every third apartment. I dare say the lack of them beating, robbing and attacking him (instead using rich white finance bros) is much more Woke through omission.
Its similar to how in the newest Batman movie, the random gang attacking people on the street is almost all white guys, except for the one black dude who is only half facepainted to make sure you know he is the black one and also the only one who is hesitant. The lack of blacks is far more Woke for the story they are trying to tell because its literally them whitewashing reality to hide what those areas are actually like.
Perhaps I'm biased towards it because I liked the movie, but I think if we are going to continue to have negros in films (we will) I can compromise on them being places they literally are in real life living the same sad existences they also are in real life.
To be fair, would you have taken Murray's "dey dindu nuffin" retort to Fleck seriously had the attackers been black? It would've been unintentional comedy.
If the attackers had been black it would be have such "business as usual" it wouldn't even have reached his attention.
The white boys work well enough because those types do exist, and are necessary for that plotline to work, but the lack of additional random violence from blacks/Mexicans sticks out like a sore thumb based on everything else represented in the movie.
I recall the kids who stole Arthur's sign at the beginning of the movie were third-worlders of some kind, but that's about it.
I honestly think you are reading way too much into the fact that some mentally ill loner has a delusional crush on his female neighbor who happens to be a cute mulatta negress. This is the type of post that SJW faggots will go hunting for and hone in on and single out to represent this community and broader movement in general to go "see? They just hate Black people for existing!" and then use that to justify raceswapping Cleopatra as being Black in a documentary that literally states that she was actually sub-Saharan African in real life.
Who the fuck cares what they think, they'll say this shit regardless of what we do or don't do, so might as well be right.
