Controversial Opinions About Movies Part II
Okay bear with me here, I think Killmonger is a better Joker and I'm talking about 2019 joker.
I had this random brain fart today and I kind of want to rewatch both movies to see if I can find more contrasts and similarities.

i dunno killmonger is a radicalized militant leftist whereas joker is just an idiot who sorta stumbles into an ideology he only incidentally believes in

Which certainly adds another layer to the compare and contrast. They're both challenging their respective societies. One does it better than the other. Which is why I say Killmonger is a better Joker (2019). (I feel like I have to specify 2019 when I discuss this particular joker since it's such a departure from past iterations.)
Is he? I wouldn't describe him as an idiot. Chaotic with some sense of how to get the "right" kind of people to go along with his plans.
this is getting into spoiler territory but
and yes, i think the joker here is presented in a way to make him seem unintelligent. i thought it was sorta the point, that he's "simple" in a pathetic sort of way to provoke pathos.

you're not watching a movie because of a single negative article?MeLVaNoaTe wrote: ↑October 9th, 2019, 9:46 pmSpeaking of controversial opinions, and Killmonger, and why I still haven't seen Black Panther: http://bostonreview.net/race/christophe ... ck-panther
ok, what about the outpouring of support for black panther from the POC community who disagrees with that?

OK you're talking about this version of the Joker. I see. I thought you were talking about overall.
