I had very little interest in this but seeing how bad the reviews are, now I wanna see it. It sounds positively deranged.

I was today years old when I found out that this movie is a musical and imagining finding that out in realtime in theatres sounds f***ing hilarious. The legit new Hollywood thing to do is NOT advertise when a movie is a musical because they believe "Less will want to go and see it", this was already seen with the Wonka remake, was a musical, NEVER advertised as one Because that will make audiences want to see your films more, LYING TO THEM!

So which happened: Joker 2 was always going to be a musical and they brought in Lady Gaga for it, or they hired Lady Gaga first and then made Joker 2 into a musical afterwards? I bet heavy money on the latter. I'm positive it's the latter given nothing about the first movie really makes you think the sequel would be a musical, the whole project always felt like chasing mainstream nerd appeal with a thin veneer of a serious artistic vision without actually having one, and and the marketing feels like they regret the movie being what it is.

Yeah considering the fact that Phillips is ALREADY jumping ship and the movie hasn't even been released, they know they f***ed up.

When Sausage Party came out, my local theater had signs on the front doors, on the cash registers in the lobby, and on the door to the auditorium itself saying “Sausage Party is rated R for language, sexual content, and drug use. It is absolutely NOT a movie for children. No refunds will be given if you take your children to see it.”
I want to see that happen with this movie, only the signs say “Joker: Folie a Deux is a musical. You have been warned.”

It's weird because if you looked online the first articles for the film everywhere said "THIS WILL BE A MUSICAL" so in that regard it's never actually been a secret like Wonka seemingly was
But it's barely if at all been said in public PR or in the Ads, so the internet revealing the plot is a musical months ago is only gonna travel so far to this result, but again, this is what Hollywood's trying to do now, I guess too many advertised Musicals are bombing lately and they're blaming it on being musicals and not... y'know, the quality of the films...

Maybe just maybe Hollywood shouldn't have made it a musical if they were ashamed to advertise it as one?

Yeah considering the fact that Phillips is ALREADY jumping ship and the movie hasn't even been released, they know they f***ed up. To be fair, Phillips wanted to jump ship after the first one and had to be dragged kicking and screaming back for the sequel. I wouldn't be shocked if he made this one as unappealing to everybody who loved the first just so he wouldn't be asked back for a third.

Even before the first one he was acting like it was beneath him and talking about how embarrassing being a comic book movie was, even though it's his script that has a part where Joker is hit by a car for literally no reason and then instantly recovers from it like some GTA shit.

Which is quite an amusing position to hold given how poorly his entire filmography has aged.

Said it before in this thread that I thought Joker was really boring, besides the last 20 minutes.
If Folie A Deux’s reviews are calling this one boring then hoo boy, jesus christ.

I'm holding out hope for a third movie titled "Joker III: The Marsupials."

So I decided whatever, I'm probably not going to see this, and looked up the ending. {Spoiler}Apparently it ends with him being murdered by someone who then theoretically goes to be the actual Joker. Which kind of just seems to render the first movie completely pointless but whatever I guess.

He was probably upset Warner Bros. and DC wouldn't let him have a Ken Jeong nude scene and a gratuitous Mike Tyson cameo.
