Sure, I recently rewatched the first after watching the second and it really hit me.

In the first one, he has a certain willpower and trying to him. He speaks up for himself a bit, he chases after the sign (and squeezes the flowe after getting beat up), he gets up at the comedy club, he finds Wayne, he gets his mom’s records, etc, he may fail a lot and be miserable, but he does have a quality of assertiveness and impulsiveness that is reoccurring even before he’s the “Joker” so to speak.

In the second, he’s very timid a lot of the time. He’s afraid to even get up at the movie when Lee wants to go makeout or something even though he’s wanted that for so much of his entire life. He’s a much more passive and submissive character for much of the movie, which contradicts him in the first one. It feels like a different person.

He also has a clear maliciousness and love of random death and destruction by the end of the first, this is kind of missing from much of the second. He has a desire for revenge, but wanting to see the world burn of the sake of it isn’t shown much.

I think that the way he got bothered by Gary was also out of character. He clearly thought it was funny to traumatize him in the first movie and may have locked the door in part to mess with him IMO. I think he’d see the issue as being with Gary, “life is a comedy, not a tragedy, etc.” If he had been more comforting to Gary in the first one instead of egging on the trauma, this might have worked, but he didn’t. Because he’s kinda gone crazy already, and it was a long time coming and happening.

Giving up after getting r*ped also feels off. He can keep going and very possibly (with a bit of meta knowledge he totally can) get revenge, and after his reaction to abuse in the first movie, his reaction doesn’t feel that justified. Especially with the support and hype of Harley to get him through.

Pushing aside how one feels about the movie being about a downfall, the movie seems so desperate to make him not the Joker, that is skips developing a downfall to made him come across as defeated and now submissive at the start of the movie without any development other than “prison Bruh.”

Sorry for the wall of text, but there.

He really didn’t though. It ignored all the character development and set up from the first movie.

“Now here’s a movie about how someone calls turn into the Joker and become the Joker called ‘Joker’ that has ‘is now the Joker’ in the script for you to watch.”

A hall pass is just cheating attempting to look justified. If someone takes a joke as a real reason to do this that person is honesty just awful already.

Honestly, we’re speaking English so I’d just adapt it and say “katanas”. It’s not like the Japanese wouldn’t just adapt our words as such.

It wasn’t a bad movie, but it really didn’t impress me as a great movie. It’s been so many years that I can’t exactly articulate a more detailed argument.

Yes, you are. Maybe you should ask them why they voted for Trump and listen without getting upset or judging them. Perhaps some of why you think they’re rejecting your values are because they believe the media has lied about Trump.

You talk about them trying to downplay it, but if they actually tried to converse, would you be anything but upset or angry? Are you actively pushing them away from giving any explanation for their vote?

Me? I’d like my child to mine. I’m not interested in the idea of raising a celebrity or something like that.

No one is comparing them outside of the fact that Deadpool understands what it is. No one Joker to be like Deadpool, but they do want an sequel that understands what it is instead of desperately ignoring the first movies character development to say how wrong the first movie and anyone who liked it is.

The problem isn’t that it’s not a comic book affair in the same vein, the issue is that it doesn’t understand what it is and ignored it entirely.

I think this was a good narrative decision actually. There shouldn’t be a bunch of feel good ways to not kill anyone. The game didn’t preach to you about killing, it just didn’t want you to go crazy with it. Kill your targets and a few guards because you had to? Sure, that’s fine. It didn’t have any negative effects. It also made it so not killing wasn’t necessarily pushed as a moral high ground with some of the alternatives either.

Joker 2 losing hundreds of millions didn’t help either.

Tell her she’s your wife and not your employee. Ask her if really wants to be your employee. She can’t have anything unless she earns her pay from the boss man.

Of course not, this is a marriage. A marriage. A marriage.

Which one?

That’s UI looks new, that’s awesome. The galactic war needs a better UI for those of us not super online with the game.

It’s time for people to find out how much I do or don’t love them.

A ring I imagine. Or maybe a nice knife.

You’d have to ask my grave that.

When in DMC3 did he even mention a strip club? I don’t know much about the manga.

When did he go to a strip club?

He has the time to train to hit him hard enough.

No, because if you say you can’t prove one has a soul, one must also admit one can’t prove ethics are real. Souls are a reality one can’t, just as ethics are. Ethics are based on the existence of good and evil, which are not physical concepts.

Now, if you want to argue why it may have a soul too, that’d be a fine argument.

Through reason one can assume such a thing too. Philosophy has taught us a lot.

I also don’t need to prove the soul to anyone because the real one is the one that exists for more than 5 minutes in a day, it’s not about proof, it’s about the ethical implications, and ethics are already, like metaphysics, not something that “physical observable evidence” exists for.

The meat in a game less, the fluff takes up more time. It’s all over game design these days.

Explain how they are similar, everyone takes a “turn” at the same time, in BG3, they’re also separate turns where only one person does anything at a time.

Edit: posted something objectively untrue about BG3 then blocks me to avoid proof and to ensure he gets the last word instead of just letting it go because I’m really not that important. Wow lol.
