I saw the film a few minutes ago. It was very good... better than the first one. But the hate is from the concept of what Joker have to do.  I understand.  And Lady Gaga was good, I expect more. If u go and see like a general person with no comics mind is a solid 8.

Imagine saying this to other human beings with eyes and a brain.

Her being the co-lead means it's HER movie but her being the co-lead on DWAS mean it's not her song.

 

The only thing less humiliating for you would be to just stop blaming this failure on the woman and prepare yourself for the draggings and fumes if the LG7 lead shows even the slightest signs of success. Because guess what Narid? You're doing the most and will be getting the most in return 

The fact you keep trying to make this about gender is sending me… Like you monsters don't target women all the time.

NY Post PANS Joker 2 and Gaga/Phoenix:

'Joker' sequel gets the last laugh as critical flop takes box office crown

Quote

The Todd-Phillips-directed psychological thriller, which The Post called "a pointless sequel," is a follow-up to 2019's "Joker," which earned Joaquin Phoenix, who reprises his titular role, an Oscar. It is also a musical — and The Post said Phoenix and his co-star Lady Gaga, who plays his love interest, Harley Quinn, "sing for no reason."

'I cannot take Gaga seriously with this song hahahaha.' 

Another did not hold back in their criticism of the Poke Face singer with: 'Totally sucks. Another flop of an album from Gaga. She'll probably ruin joker sequel too.'

Fans online didn't hesitate to poke fun at the film's emphasis on musical numbers. A lot of the buzz centres around Gaga's performance, with many feeling she was chosen more for her singing abilities. Some even argue that the film didn't make full use of her vocal talent.

It's a FLOP

[fridayteenage]

so it would be in close competition with Renaissance for most frontloaded opening day this decade (for a $20 mil+ OW).

Renaissance 53.5% OW from Friday

 

20/$37 million would be 54.1%

20/$38 million would be 52.6%

 It's kinda hilarious, it's like "maybe if I write this in Wikipedia it will change the narrative!" 

For real. 143 flat out says "negatively received" and the FAD score is even lower.

[Price of Fame]

yeah, highly doubt this is even hitting 200 million WW 

 

the drop next week will be something

[wastedpotential]

I've been hesitant to make the comment for fear of jinxing it but it really does seem as if JFAD won't even be the top grossing MPG-led musical film of the decade. Eras did 267M, so I guess we'll have to see where this lands in the end

I don't know **** about joker and don't think I ever watched any dc movie, yet I knew that this will bomb the moment they announced that it's going to be a musical, like dc as a whole has been box office poison for God knows how long and they expected a musical to not continue the streak of disasters?

I didn't know my ass was deadline.com! The Flash made money money from streaming and home rentals. FAD will not, realistically.

 

Not to mention Flash sells merchandise. Seeing how the soundtrack bombed, nobody will be buying anything from FAD.

Because this thread is being a shitshow even worse than the movie itself. The amount of people taking their wishes and fantasies as they were facts lol.

[Mamamo]

I still can't believe they manifested the FAD title into existence. Stefani, her power 

[OnlyManInTheWorld]

Hope they make Todd Phillips cover the losses with his paycheck.
