- Joker: Folie A Deux is being panned as one of the most bizarre and unsatisfying sequels of all time.
In this video I discuss not only why it failed as a movie but also how I would rewrite it in order to make it work.

it’s mind boggling how much incompetence $200M can buy in Hollywood.
Your rewrite is dope. I’d love to see something like that some day 🙌
The concept itself is amazing but if only they managed to execute it properly it would have been a great sequel to an already amazing movie
Exactly
Creating a new low low tier under Morbius and madame web is an achievement itself. Poor Phoenix man, he still did a phenomenal job even with this script. If it stuck as being an arthur film rather than a joker without the musical stuff I could have been okay with it after some time but dayum the musical elements hurt this film so much.
The music was really bad in this
Ngl even that re write was messy. This sequel was only a sequel because Joker made so much money. There was no soul behind this, Hollywood saw their successful golden goose and used it to try and make more money. Not realizing that you actually have to write a good story for people to connect with it.
Not only that, it was animosity on part of the filmmakers. The whole thing should've never happened.
I like what you’ve done. I love the idea, however I saw the sequel differently. Arthur was a clown and he enjoyed making others happy as seen in the beginning of the first movie, regardless of his crazy mom telling him to bring joy. Arthur had too much internal conflict, especially after seeing how much he hurt his friend. I think Arthur is the rise to the true joker. Harley, if I’m not mistaken from memory, hasn’t completed her full degree yet. From all the lore Harley was his psychologist. I think Harley is the true mastermind in creating a real joker who we possibly see in the character at the end of the second film, the guy who kills Arthur. This is early in the Batman world too because Bruce is just a kid. This leads to giving time for Harley to go back to school and a true joker, empowered by what Arthur started, to truly screw up Gotham for Batman to emerge.
Your story of this movie is so much more better than Todd Phillips👏
Thank you!
I don't think Joker needed a sequel more like should've been put in the Batman universe instead.
how to fix it: don't make it a musical
I’m going to wait until this movie streams instead of going to the theater
This is fire. needs more views 🔥
>"the best musicals"
>shows hotel hazbin
Okay bro...
Your rewrite is more of a love letter to fans, unlike Todd Phillips making the film a "fuck you" letter to fans. Although a sequel wouldn't be needed, this still would've been a better way of doing it. MUCH BETTER if you ask me, which I give massive props to you for (although not being that into super hero films).
Where the film really fell off for me was the beginning of the 3rd act. I'm one of those fans that just wanted to see Arthur succeed, like how he sort of did the first with his revenge. And seeing him getting stabbed to death, and "graped", knowing his past, makes me wish he or Harley killed those guards.
Seriously though, props to you for the rewrite idea!
Also Todd making it a musical was the least of it's problems. I don't get why people hate it because it's a musical, and not based on it's writing.
My biggest thing was Todd dragged him through the mud to taint Arthurs character but it just made me feel more bad for him. I have no clue what they were thinking
@@michaelthecinebro exactly. my heart goes out to all those fans that related with Arthur and were given that... :(
they did that on porpouse so joker doesn't become a franchise
You're giving them too much credit,if they don't want to make other movies they can ain't nobody's forcing them
@ they are infact the studio beeing warner bros
Pretty much video creators can come up with better ideas than hollywood
My dad hates this movie and it's just sad joker over and over .
I always love your rewrites of the movies
Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, it sucks that they screwed Joker up so bad
The guy can't make sequels... The hangover 2 and 3 as additional evidence
Not all movies especially good ones need sequels.
I'm not gonna watch this cuz I loved the first one
