Someone said that musicals are usually happy, and mamma mia! – these 22 responses were wicked!
If you were intending to see Joker:Folie à Deux and weren’t aware it was a musical, we’re sorry for the spoiler, but also wondering how you hadn’t heard the howls of complaint.
Watching #JokerFolieADeux was like an endless hell of painful torture to my brain & my ears and put me to sleep in a several times throughout the movie. The first mistake they did was deciding to made Joker a sequel and it’s a damn awful musical. Brain rot all the way. 1/10 pic.twitter.com/mBUOQqFnC9

A dreaded D CinemaScore for JOKER II—this is not gonna end well for WB.
A massive miscalculation by the creators to go the musical route and just another endgame for DC.

Of course, there had been clues*.
‘JOKER 2’ will be a musical.

*unequivocal statements that it would be a musical.
One person decided the concept of a musical Joker was fundamentally flawed.
*Stares in West Side Story.*
Musical Theatre aficionados begged to differ.

I agree. Imagine a musical filled with disparity. That would be pretty miserable. What would they sing? Songs of angry men? https://t.co/fvvEFESeRK
