“Joker” was released at boon times for comic book tentpoles, when the mere idea of superhero fatigue seemed laughable. But the genre has been proven to be less resilient in the post-pandemic era. “Joker: Folie à Deux” joins the ignominious trio of 2023’s “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” and “The Marvels” — all three are follow-ups to billion-dollar tentpoles that completely collapsed at the box office and became big money-losers. The sequel to 2018’s “Aquaman” tapped out with $439 million globally while the sequel to 2019’s “Captain Marvel” ended its run with just $206 million globally. Those misfires proved audiences will no longer show up simply because there’s a DC or Marvel logo in the title credits.

Because these kinds of movies have become blatent cash grabs. The market is oversaturated with the same formulistic plots reskinned with a different superhero. It's insulting to consumers to assume high profile actors, flashy cgi, and a comic book character is enough to overlook poor storytelling.

Unfortunately, there is a downside to allowing Trump to win. It's the trolly problem and yes I will help pull the lever that kills people to keep even more people from dying.

Iran has a right to defend itself.

I see where you're coming from but drug use isn't limited to addicts and even so addicts can be very wealthy.

I feel seen.

Agreed. I'd say being an "OF woman content creator" would work as a great way to weed out bigoted men too.

In this economy?

I wish my father would have. He almost immediately wrote them off as unnecessary and blamed insurance for not wanting to pay for surgery even though multiple doctors recommended physical therapy instead. He's now two or three years into the pian.

That comment was on the exact same article.

What I heard

I don't understand why you're getting down voted because I remember seeing that too.

The word won't lose it's meaning if Democrats refuse to use it so why not flip the script and use it to call out their own bigotry? The more both sides use it the more it loses it's power but I'd much rather see the word be applied to hateful opinions that can be changed than someone's core identity that can not be changed.
