Oh yeah, tastes are always going to be subjective. And just because it makes money doesn’t mean it’s good - Michael Bay’s
Transformers sequels kept making millions and millions with each release, while also getting dumber and dumber.
Joker has had an amazing performance. What’s interesting, though, is the rumor that I’ve heard was that Phillips and Phoenix originally just wanted to do a straight up drama focusing on mental illness and social isolation/alienation, but the only way they could get funding for it was to adapt it as Joker origin story. Don’t know if there’s any truth to the rumor or not, but if so…that’s actually kind of a sad.
