It's the Muddled Message It Sends About Our Times" https://time.com/5688305/joker-todd-phillips-review/ "'Joker,' starring Joaquin Phoenix, sparked an incel controversy because it's hopelessly hollow" https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/joker-starring-joaquin-phoenix-sparked-incel-controversy-because-it-s-ncna1062656 "Joker – the incels, the incitement, the ending: discuss with spoilers" https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/oct/04/joker-the-incels-the-incitement-the-ending-discuss-with-spoilers There was controversy surrounding the moral ambiguity in the film of having you empathise with a man that becomes a terrorist, hence the parallel with incels/school shooters... but that's not the same thing as MAGA. None of those articles mention "MAGA", and only one mentions "alt-right" which is the following quote: Quote it isn’t quite the alt-right manifesto some of the pre-release discourse suggested. It’s really just a drama about a mentally ill man with no friends who is targeted by bullies Did you even watch the film? It's messaging is very pro-socialist/anti-capitalist/eat the rich (even if it's in a superficial Hollywood way) which is diametrically opposed to the values of the MAGA crowd. Your assertion that it's a "MAGA fest" continues to makes no sense. Edited February 23, 2023 by DoctorIce
