    Waiiiiiit but I loved most of the live action flicks (Cinderella, Beauty & The Beast, Little Mermaid def my favorites 😍).

     

    The Little Mermaid is good, I didn't really like the other 2. I don't really like live action Disney movies released from the 2010s to the present (with some exceptions of course). I saw the trailer for the new Snow White and it looks like crap to me. And not because Rachel Zegler is not white.

    Still unsure of this whole thing @Lilja K

     

     

     

    To be honest, I don't like the idea of live action remakes of Disney cartoons. This is not necessary and the main purpose of this is to make money. This movie is definitely. Daisy is too good for that.

    Also...whyyyyyy

     

    She is a sex symbol and therefore needs an "ugly role" to be perceived as an Oscar-worthy actress. It was the same with Charlize Theron

    I don't really recall the exact names of these comics, it was too long ago.  Yes, you are right- like other franchises the different artists & writers develop their own interpretation of the characters and create their own stories but within boundaries of their publishing house.  I think there is a general tendency to stay within certain boundaries.

     

    There are different origin stories of the joker as well.

     

    "the Killing Joke" is often considered one of the best if not the best take:

     

    Batman: The Killing Joke Deluxe (New Edition) TPB - Read Batman: The Killing Joke Deluxe (New Edition) TPB comic online in high quality (readcomiconline.li)

     

    read comic online has tons of batman content, if you search for it you will find a huge collection.

     

    This series features Harley Quinn as a good girl for instance. 

     

    Batman: White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn comic | Read Batman: White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn comic online in high quality (readcomiconline.li)

     

    Batman: White Knight comic | Read Batman: White Knight comic online in high quality (readcomiconline.li)

     

    The Killing Joke is considered cult classic and I understand why. I even have a physical copy. I like the "human" view of the origin of the inhuman Joker. In the end, "just one bad day" can happen to everyone.

     

    I'm not familiar with White Knight, thanks for the recommendation🌸

    The relationship between Harley Quinn & Joker is meant to be dominated by the Joker.  The Joker never plays second fiddle nor does he ever really 'listen' to Harley.  Harley is a totally enthralled follower, and obsessed with him.   She does break up with him from time to time but always manages to relapse some how, and her break ups tend to intwine her with the Batman, which she has sexual tension with.

     

    💯 accurate.

    There are scenarios from comic book writers where the Joker does revert back to his old identity though.  I think the mainstream audiences don't know that.

     

    Please tell me which ones. If I understood correctly, there is no general canon of the Joker's origin. And over time, there have been different interpretations depending on the series/universe. The robber who fell into chemicals is the most familiar to me. But I'd be interested to know more.

    Part 1 was def great :thumbsup:

     

    💯

     

    I'm a little skeptical of sequels by default. But I will be glad if my skepticism turns out to be wrong in this case😁

    I really wonder what's happening here and why everyone is hating this movie so much. I really have to watch it 🤣 @Lilja K @Matt! @Cult Icon

     

    ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ Drops Record 81% in Second Weekend

    ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ has had the worst second weekend decline for any “comic book” movie ever. The film earned $7M this weekend, that’s a miserable 81% drop. It’s only made $51M domestically since its release.

    In fact, that drop is worse than ”The Marvels,” worse than “Morbius,” and even worse than the infamous “Halloween Ends” decline. What do all four of these films, including ‘Joker 2,’ have in common? Well, they’re just not good. Quality sometimes matters.

    ‘Joker 2’ earned the same in its second domestic weekend as ‘Beetlejuice 2’ did in its sixth domestic weekend, and ‘Beetlejuice 2’ is already readily available to rent on VOD. This all makes me wonder how soon ‘Joker 2’ will be sent to VOD? I would bet as early as the next Monday.

    Just to keep track, that’s $51M domestically for ‘Folie à Deux’. Its estimated international total stands at $113.7M, and estimated global total stands at $165.3M. The budget for ‘Folie à Deux’ is said to have been $190M. Hard losses are coming for Warner Bros.

     

    I heard that it just didn't meet the expectations of comic book fans and those who liked 1st movie.

    Probably a smart move @Lilja K Funny thing how Howllywood is aware netflix movies haven't much impact 😆

     

     

     

    The impact of the theatrical release is still strong😌
