Shameless ripoff of King of Comedy, deserves zero merit, also propaganda

Rating: 1/10 (6 October 2019)

So Hollywood basically wants to use comic book characters to push political subversion now. I get it. In Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos wants to reduce the population by half for the greater good. In the comics, he was doing it to win the love of a female version of Death. In the movie, Thanos all of a sudden cares about managing the population through controversial means.
In the Joker, somehow, WB wants to turn this character into an anarchist and terrorist; he's basically Antifa. This movie makes no secret of the fact that he's being depicted as the good guy here. That's why I just didn't like this movie. I think it's dangerous. Do the rich get away with too much? Yes. Does this movie have anything to do with the character or the Batman universe? Really and truly, no. This movie is a one-sided political statement in favor of Antifa. I'm not dumb.
Worst of all, is this even canon? Is Phoenix the new Joker? Did they basically just make Batman the bad guy? It seems so to me.
I would have to say that if this is an origin story for The Joker, it's the worst one they could have come up with. I could have written this as a kid. There was no nuance in the film. This is what any eight-year old would have come up with watching Batman as a kid. Real life isn't like this.
This was terrible, it will be forgotten in a year or two, max. I guarantee it.
I have to add, I've just seen the King of Comedy and Todd Phillips shamelessly ripped it off. He has fooled people into thinking he made something original and artistic when it's glorified rehash of that movie with the Joker name slapped onto it. I'm glad I didn't pay for this, really and truly. This does not deserve Oscar consideration.
