    If you feel that CGC's services are a "rip-off" - no one is forcing you to pay for them... I'd call CGC directly if you have questions. Assuming you want to pay for their service, that is...

    Oooh. 10% off. Congrats!

    I don't think any of this holds water: Arthur suffers from more than delusions. Just because 2 people have delusions in common does not make them related. Who's to say she was single when he was adopted? Likely manufactured by Fleck's delusion. This doesn't matter. What? Joker being related to Wayne makes his character much less interesting. Not everything/everyone has to be relative in stories. Joker's status as an independent villain makes him more compelling than Al Ghul being his martial arts master, or Bane being what's left of that, or Riddler being an ex-employee, etc etc etc.

    DC had Zack Snyder. Then WB blew it.

    While I don't agree, I also can't say that he's entirely incorrect... MCU films are typically great entertainment. Great escapism. There aren't many messages that can be taken away from them, though. I think he's looking at it from an old-school perspective - that movies should be meaningful. Some of the earlier Marvel movies had some meaningful stories (despite unrealistic actions). Iron Man trying to make up for the horrors that he was ignorant of. Thor being humbled. Captain America always trying to do the "right" thing, etc. As the MCU got bigger in scale, and more unrealistic cosmic stories were told, messages just got harder to come by. It's basically all been "work as a team". It all became about compelling characters going through unrealistic trials. That just comes with the territory.

    That makes no sense in the context of this movie. Batman also doesn't murder outside of TDKR. That's why TDKR helped revolutionize comics. Punisher is an anti-hero. So is Deadpool. They have "heroic" motives, though. Joker doesn't. Again - Joker is a straight-up villain. There are no "mitigating circumstances" leading to him murdering 3 people. You can brandish a gun to establish self-defense. This is why Joker is a villain. There is literally no correlation to Bruce Wayne. Fact: Bruce Wayne grows up with empathy for the lower-class. Literally. Nothing. To. Do. With. Bruce. Wayne. Simple - you don't need to portray Bruce Wayne in a film in which he does nothing. His inclusion was pointless and I rest my case.

    Lara Lor-Van says it in the movie Man of Steel.

    5.0ish IMO.

    People don't hate what they envy. Hate and envy are 2 different emotions.

    If the Batman doesn't exist, then the host cannot be mocking the Batman. Murder is not vigilantism. This 3rd paragraph makes literally no sense. Those 3 Wayne Enterprise employees have nothing to do with Bruce Wayne. There is no correlation. They're the tools that represent the disparity between empathy of the upper and lower classes. Nothing more. This movie doesn't exist to tie-into The Dark Trilogy. This movie occurs in the 1980's. TDKT occurs in the 21st century.

    I'll let revat answer that for you.

    Yes, because it would've been better. The Waynes don't need to be part of a Joker movie. In fact, having them involved in his "origin" waters down the quality of storytelling. Not everyone has to be related in every comic book movie. I don't think that a single sane person thinks Joker potentially being related to Wayne is remotely interesting. I rolled my eyes when I heard the rumor, and the movie was almost ruined when it seemed like it was possibly true. How can the host mock Batman when Batman doesn't exist in this movie...? That makes no sense. Joker is not a vigilante. He's a historic villain. Joker doesn't fight crime. He causes it.

    "All it takes is one bad day..." That's the point.

    Um... What...? If you take Bruce Wayne out of the movie, nothing changes... So, there literally does not "have to be a mention of him". The lie of Thomas Wayne being his father doesn't need to exist. At all. His adoption is what threw him over another edge. She could've lied about anyone being his father. The Waynes ultimately have no place in the movie other than an "ah, I get this reference, he's part of the Batman universe!" The second bold statement is wrong on every level. You can reference those losers working for Wayne without having the Waynes in the movie. It would change nothing. He did not kill his mother because of Thomas Wayne. People don't want a Lex Luthor origin story. See: Batman v Superman outrage. Casual fans want the same old BS. Superman origin? "Nope, Man of Steel sucked!" Nobody has patience or an open mind anymore.

    You're comparing apples and oranges. Alfred has ultimately nothing to do with the movie. No thought required. He's part of the "Waynes shouldn't be in this movie" point I posted.
  21. theCapraAegagrus
    What's there to think about? He was in the movie for less than a minute.

    Just remember: Thanos was right.

    Avoid Friday afternoons. Too many shenanigans.

    What? You don't like Iron Man's dialogue? That cringe-worthy writing isn't good enough for you!?
