Thanks for the commercial accolades. How is the film groundbreaking though?
And "making a billion while not being in a shared universe" is a strange thing to taut as groundbreaking when Joker is not only yet another comic book property, but also one centered around one of the most popular and recognized comic book characters of all time. When the sensational headline coverage of the movie is factored in (i.e., free FOMO advertising), along with multiple memes, it's absurd to think that anyone ever doubted it would become a a smash hit in the first place.
Hype and controversy aside, Joker might be one of the least groundbreaking films I've ever seen.
Importance externally placed on a product by a contingent of fans does not make it groundbreaking or innovative. Joker is made up of spare parts from other movies, with its tone and soundtrack lending it a facade of prestige.
I'm not one to gas up the movie but that s*** IS better than taxi driver
yall had me thinking it was some esteemed pillar of cinema
“yall had me thinking it was some esteemed pillar of cinema”
that’s because it literally is...?

Still surprised how often I ask someone to explain why something was groundbreaking, and they reply with box office stats and corporate high fives
Amazing movie but to call it a classic is wrong
The message of the story was weird and it felt like it didn’t know quite know what they wanted to say and just through a couple ideas at the wall and hoped it stuck

Most people don’t even really consider the movie ‘deep’. It was just well made and entertaining

I know this is a sole fat nerd but I've seen a lot of ppl echo those sentiments
HE CALLING JOKER BETTER THAN TAXI DRIVER LMAOOOO
Joker is groundbreaking in the comic world only. It’s literally Taxi Driver’s little brother.
F*** outta here Op
What about it is groundbreaking in your view
The cinematography... how spectacular and entertaining it is and how close it is to the people
It‘s some next level s***, not on an intellectual level, but as an experience
This is the type of experience you want, going to the cinema
The emotions that are transmitted are very tangible, moreso than in other movies and more relevant to the times as it channels a certain frustration which resonates with a lot of people
The emotions and the cinematographic experience are key because it moves you and the images are very vivid so it sort of feels like a more-dimensional experience

"Joker is a very groundbreaking movie"
...no.
It’s a good movie but the circlejerk around it is insane
