I love that Joker: Folie à Deux sticks a middle finger up at incels
The Joker from the first movie (and the incel community who loved him) are symbolically put on trial in Joker: Folie à Deux.

Joker: Folie à Deux pulls no punches, and feels like a film made almost entirely to address the reaction and fans who celebrated the villain in 2019. In this film, the Joker from the first movie (and the incel community symbolically) are literally put on trial. Harvey Dent – the prosecution – says on TV: ‘There are people who are still willing to commit acts of violence in his name. They believe that he’s some kind of martyr. Well he’s not’.

Unlike Fury Road, the lack of plot in Joker 2 isn’t something you can laugh off because of how much fun you’re having; it’s a bit dull and hard to engage with on any level apart from rejoicing in the ‘f**k you’ message it gives to incels.
So is it good? Dramatically speaking it isn’t the best. But it made incels sit through a musical where the dance numbers ridicule incel delusion, a musical which deconstructed the character they had tried to claim as their mascot. It p****d off all the right people. That’ll sit just fine with me.
joker 2 might have tried to stick a middle finger up at incels
but in the end it's a lot like incels
nobody loves it
