    That joker sequel is such a slap in the face. I despise musicals, and equally despise overrated nepo baby gaga.

    It would be like Peter Jackson deciding to make the two towers into a musical and hire Mariah Carey to play Arwen. It doesn’t fit the first one in any way, and I just hate the entire concept of it

      😭 noooooo you can’t expand upon the entertainment industry themes of the first by including musicals along with comedyyyyyyy

      The difference here is that LOTR is actual literature. The Joker is pulp from an era where villains were really silly. You’ll be okay, I think.

        I wouldn’t be so bold as to walk into to conversation about genre fiction and start categorizing them as “literature” or “pulp”.
