What else are we to base it on?
Joker Origin Story Announced
- Thread starter Starbreaker
- Start date
How about waiting till the movie comes out and base it on the actual movie?
Sometimes I wish the hardest of critics here would be handed a huge pile of money and be tasked with making a TV show. The failure would be spectacular.
That ship sailed, sank and rotted long ago.
Well, I've been mostly complaining about the trailer for now. Though the fact that that flying through the air scene is even in the movie already suggests that the movie will have the MCU trademarked CGI battle at the end. Maybe the first 3 quarters of the movie will be more interesting, who knows.
Those are pretty fun. Great cast.
...and Joker still has its acclaim, its nominations and success, no matter how much someone wishes that was not the case.
None of which would've happened if not for the MCU doing all the legwork for it first. Joker getting it's Nom was merely the result of all the hard work Black Panther did before it.
Serious question - are you delusional or does Disney pay you? How much would it take for someone to agree to lose their dignity like this?
I started doing that a long tine ago.
Come on now - the MCU must have been nominated for something.
Perhaps the coveted Best Hairstying award?
Nah, it just got the Best Pic Nom before DC could. And they did it without selling out.
And the Playstation is way better than X-Box! And don't even get me started on that lame Star Trek, Star Wars kicks it's ass!
It's rather astonishing that comic book movies generate such a polarized atmosphere where discussion is swamped by all the "DC sux" and "MCU is crap" and "X-Men movies are ashamed of comics" and so on.
They're COMIC BOOK MOVIES. Sure, some aspire to something a little deeper than a Silver Age story from the 50s (some are even successful, like Joker). But none will rank in the ten best films of all time.
No.

I’d rather Oscars go to the real art films, whether or not they are accessible or in English. But I’d give them to the comic book blockbusters long before I gave them to to bloated historical biopics and sanctimonious issue dramas that usually get them.
I thought a few years ago everyone said the award shows were a joke and critics don't matter. I guess that changes when a favorite is up for an award.
Skiffy fans say this a lot because their favorite shit usually doesn't impress non-fans enough to make the cut.
It's like democracy.
The guy you like wins, "The System works!"
The guy who don't like wins, "Democracy doesn't work!"
The Oscars are fine as long as you realize what their audience is. Effete retirees who have been watching films for decades. People who want films that are smart but not challenging and cover familiar history and their own politics.
I’d like separate award shows. One to reward the pure fun movies like Endgame. One to reward the real art films, whether or not they are in the English language or are three hours of reflective tracking shots with strictly intellectual appeal and zero entertainment value.
Have a Best Picture for every audience so we can stop arguing about gate keeping the nominations.
