I was interested when I heard it was going to be a musical.
I was turned off when I found it was just licensed music and would not have any original songs. Like... What's the point of making a musical if you're not gonna make new songs specifically for the story?
Ahhhh this is the first time hearing it isn't original music. I took for granted that a musical would have original songs.
If they can somehow fit pre-existing music into the film, it can be fun to see essentially several high budget musical clips of known songs at once and also a film. Bollywood can be good at this. That is clearly not the case with Joker 2, but if they had made psychological mad sequences with Bonnie and Clyde having killing and crime sprees with psychedelical metal music etc, it could work.
That's thoroughly disappointing to hear
Neither Phillips nor Phoenix was even sure about making a sequel and, for a time, contemplated putting on a Broadway show instead, before ultimately committing to the movie and bringing aboard Gaga in a role inspired by the comic book character Harley Quinn. The idea for the sequel came to Phoenix in a dream, and he and Phillips brought the idea to Emmerich, according to sources.
In the end, some are saying that Joker: Folie à Deux is a very expensive art film. But when asked who the intended audience was, one outside source sums it up this way: “For Joaquin.”
I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall:
I don't want to make a sequel movie to Joker.
Well wait until you hear this: Joaquin has had a dream...
Oh dear.
And they are going to pay you $20M each!
I'm listening.
Maybe Joaquin's dream was about him receiving a $20m check.
"I had a dream... of cheeky cash-grab"

Oh wow, that is exactly what I said to my friends as we left the theater
Box office isn’t everything, not anymore. They’ll make it back in collectible trash they sell to incels
Are there enough incels who are willing to pay for Joker merch?
If only it weren't a musical
The musical aspect was the only reason I was even a little interested
Because they have money to burn?
If they’d put in double stair kicks this would have made $2 billion.
