Incels had one thing.

One thing.

They turned that one thing into a vagina overload.

The Guardian:

Joker: Folie à Deux is on course for a catastrophic financial loss of up to $200m (£153m) as its dismal box office run continues amid a stream of critical brickbats and poor audience ratings.

According to a report in Variety, industry analysts say Joker: Folie à Deux is projected to earn a total of $65m at the North American box office, and around $215m elsewhere for a total of $280m – well below the estimated $300m the film cost to produce and promote. With revenue splits with cinemas factored in, Variety say that in fact the film needs to earn around $450m to break even, though producing studio Warner Bros say that the break-even figure is in fact $375m. In an effort to claw back revenue the film is headed for an early debut on home entertainment and streaming platforms on 29 October. Meanwhile the Rotten Tomatoes rating website has recorded an audience score of 32%.

As a result the estimate is the film could lose its producers between $125m and $200m. However a statement from Warner Bros disputed the accuracy of the figures, saying: “Any estimates suggested by anonymous ‘insiders’ or ‘rival executives’ are grossly wrong and continues a trend where rumour is reported as fact.”

All this is in stark contrast to the reception given the first Joker film. With the same star, Joaquin Phoenix, and director Todd Phillips, Joker won the prestigious Golden Lion at the Venice film festival on its premiere in 2019 as well as winning the best actor Oscar for Phoenix; it was also a huge commercial success, earning $1.08bn at the global box office, including £335m in North America.

This is one of the worst failures in cinema history. It is the single least profitable comic book movie ever. People are saying it is the worst movie ever.

The Jewish director, Todd “Phillips” Bunzi, accidentally made a film that appealed to disaffected white men. He was angry about it, and made a sequel to attack the fans of the first film.

However, it was so bad that not even the hordes of journalists whining about how incels liked the first film were able to tolerate it. The fact that this film is complete shit is the first thing incels and vagina journalists were able to agree on.

    The first Joker wasn’t that great either (for me), but I could see its appeal.

    This one appears to be just a big “F.U.” to the audience of the first film, from what I hear.

    I mean, they would have known that a “musical with Lady Gaga” wasn’t exactly what the audience wanted or expected, right?

    It was quite obvious it was going to fail.

    It reminds one of the scene from another Joker (not Phoenix) where he’s burning a huge pile of money.

  2. doclove says:

    The percentage of Incel men would be greatly reduced if there was safe, clean and affordable prostitution. Why hate Incels? Very few ever hurt anyone. Most Incel men are depressed. There are many times more suicidal Incel men than homocidal Incel men. Thirty percent of American men under age 30 are Incels. If these Incel men could get as little as CFNM(Clothed Female Nude Male) happy ending handjobs from barely willing women at least once a year then by definition they would no longer be Incels. There is virtually no such thing as a woman Incel, Involuntary Celibate.

    @No Worries

    Stephanie Germanotta, Lady Gaga, is of Italian descent and was raised Catholic. Most Jews in the world today have almost as much ancient Italian ancestry as Semitic ancestry. The only way to know for sure is to do a DNA test on her and find valid records of her ancestors. Many Italians have noses similar to hers.

  5. Lady Gaga me with a spoon says the bad ticket sales are the responsibility of the racist sexist anti-homo ticket buying public and she is going to get even with them by taking her balls and going home.

    Also I am seeing Unz’s Mathis story is now at 557 comments in two days and there ain’t no way it’s not going to hit the big thousand-o.

  6. Nooo, you assholes are spoiling it for me! I usually wait about two years for the hype to die down before I pirate a film.

  8. Again, how the hell is 2019 Joker possibly an incel film.

    I saw it twice and don’t see how it speaks to a bunch of late teens/early 20s failed normies rotting their youth away on imageboards.
    Some of them were repeating that stupid claim on a well known chan and when I asked they only produced some mumble about muh disenfranchisement. But if you watch the movie you know the character’s decent into criminal insanity was because, in his own words, he grew sick of being a brain damaged man getting treated like trash at work and in public. None of that involved not being “enfranchised” with pussy.

    Unless there’s a scene where the joker whines about having a three-incher no one wants to fuck then nothing “incel film” happened. All those losers latching onto joker apparently just identify with the “murder everyone who ever crossed me” stuff. In which case maybe the FBI is right to look after them.

    I’m taking Anglin’s word for that, since I haven’t seen either film, but I find it plausible and actually not completely dissimilar to my theory about The Matrix.
    Hollywood strives to make completely anodynous pap, but it’s impossible to completely isolate artists from reality, and once in a while reality seeps in through the self-censorship into the plotline of a certain movie. That’s what I think happened to The Matrix. Aesthetically, it’s an awful movie, a green concoction riddled with fake kung fu. But its basic idea resonated with the zeitgeist, and thus made a cultural splash.
    Obviously, no one in Hollywood likes to feed the alt-Right with memes, and that’s where my theory enters: the media made up a story about how The Matrix was actually about transgenderism (and the directors went along with it, it seems). Is there anything more ‘woke’ than that? Aside from that, their subsequent films seemed to be all completely anodynous pap (though I haven’t watched most of them).
    P.S.: the birth name of the Joker films’ director is ‘Bunzl’, not ‘Bunzi’.

  10. @doclove

    If these Incel men could get as little as CFNM(Clothed Female Nude Male) happy ending handjobs from barely willing women at least once a year then by definition they would no longer be Incels.

    They need more than Asian massage parlors. This society has massive problems and our low birth rate in directly related to men and women not getting married.

    Most incels want some type of relationship with a woman.

    Unfortunately a lot of them are too nice for their own good. Society tells them to be extra nice to women and it works against them.

    I used to be friends with an incel but I had to stop hanging around him. His bitterness was too much. He couldn’t get through the day without making a bitter remark about religion or women. It became tiring and I don’t see that helping him get a wife.

    There is virtually no such thing as a woman Incel, Involuntary Celibate.

    Sure but those women desire relationships and not casual sex. There is certainly a problem with women and especially liberal women having unrealistic expectations. Where I used to work the women wouldn’t even look at certain men in the office. Men under a certain height or who worked certain types of jobs simply didn’t exist to them. White women in the city are all holding out for men that were already taken and can do better than some entry level office worker with student debt.

    That’s what it sounds like. They wanted to play a joke on the audience based on the assumption that they will cash out anyways. It’s normally a fair assumption given that White comic dorks will watch practically anything with spandex or a DC logo.

    So they thought it would be funny to bring in Lady Gaga and make it a courtroom musical.

    In the first movie I got the feeling that they didn’t like their own audience and viewed them as part of the problem.

    I honestly thought the first one was overrated. It isn’t that creative and you can pretty much watch the movie in the trailer.

    I mean, they would have known that a “musical with Lady Gaga” wasn’t exactly what the audience wanted or expected, right?

    Of course but they never wanted to make a Joker movie in the first place.

    They said in an interview that it was a movie idea that they turned into a Joker movie to get it produced.

  16. My main dog bone of contention with this Joaquin Phoenix character is that he is forcing his doggies to go vegetarian. Greta Thunberg might say: How Dare You?

    I hereby state that Joaquin Phoenix has turned his back on our doggy friends.

    This horrible Hollywood fiend named Joaquin Phoenix has put his little lovable doggies on a VEGETARIAN DIET OF MISERY and endless woe. I am too tired of all this agitation to remember, but I believe this Joaquin Phoenix creature is feeding his poor little pooches nothing but steamed sweet potatoes or some other similar non-meat substance.

    Joaquin Phoenix’s doggies want to be wolves ripping into some meat and chewing it real good, but these tormented meat-eater-by-nature doggies are down in the dumps depressively — and reluctantly — devouring steamed sweet potatoes. Some sneakily oblivious hatchling type turd who won’t admit that God’s creatures have primordial instincts might say that it doesn’t matter whether or not Joaquin Phoenix’s doggies eats steamed sweet potatoes or a big bowl of slightly cooked steak. WRONG! Those doggies of Phoenix’s are dreaming of chowing down on bloody pieces of meat and fat!

    There are three things that are not being discussed enough in American politics:

    1) Monetary Policy and 2) Immigration Policy and 3) The absolute villainy of Joaquin Phoenix denying his doggies their God-given right to wolf down a big bowl of meat.

    That multimillionaire Hollywood sonofabitch Joaquin Phoenix is frigging loaded with loot because he took some deferred contract provisions that lets him have good portions of gross profits from his prior movies, so I don’t want to hear Joaquin Phoenix cry poverty as a reason to deny his doggies a proper meal of meat.

    This is the way the American Empire ends; not with a bang, but with some Hollywood sonofabitch named Joaquin Phoenix forcing his doggies to eat steamed and boiled sweet potato mash instead of rare roast beef piled high in a bowl.

    Joe Hagan in Vanity Fair(2019):

    Joaquin Phoenix is, as he tells me at one point, “as sensitive as any motherfucker is.” When I show up to his mission-style bungalow on a steep canyon road in the Hollywood Hills, he’s in the kitchen boiling a pot of sweet potatoes for his vegan dogs, Oskar and Soda, the latter a large white pit bull mix he rescued from euthanasia 13 years ago. Soda has an allergy to direct sunlight, which means she must be kept out of the sun from nine to five. Phoenix bought her a specially made suit to go to the beach. “She looks so fucking cool but she doesn’t like it,” he says.

    https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019/10/joaquin-phoenix-cover-story

    Joaquin Phoenix’s dogs were not meant by the Dog God to be Vegans.

    Even Dog Mommas would not force their dogs to be Vegans

    Dog Mommas…Don’t Let Your Doggies Grow Up To Be Vegans…Let ’em Think They’re Coyotes and Werewolves and Wolfies and such.

    Joaquin Phoenixes doggies might be in doggy heaven by now, with a last supper of soggy sweet potatoes, but who’s to say this Phoenix guy hasn’t got new dogs and he’s forcing them to be Vegans.

    I hate to break it to you but most dog food is not made of meat. It’s meat mixed with grains. More like meat flavored breakfast cereal.

    Dogs are omnivores. They are not carnivores like cats.

    Domesticated dogs have been eating human scraps for thousands of years. Sure they would prefer a steak to potatoes but Joaquin isn’t doing anything wrong.

  22. @Tallest Skil

    If you’re one of those 2deep4u fags who likes interpreting movies as “metaphors,” go watch it, I think you’ll find that 2019 Joker is an allegory about nothing but the socially downtrodden at best, and that incels calling it their movie is pure projection on their part, and probably wish fulfillment fantasy about murdering people.

    I can hear it coming though… “being virgins makes them downtrodden too!”

    No, it does not. Lol. They need to leave joker alone and go pathetically live through a character they can actually relate to, like bud from married with children. Not getting some bitch’s diseased pussy doesn’t make their pampered middle-class lives as miserable as arthur fleck.

    The movie is an interesting (but false, or pseudo) stab at the truth, filled with Christian imagery (multiple shots of the Cross) and a lot of jews getting their heads bashed in, but ultimately it’s a jew-made proximity of reality. Joker is a half-ass Jesus Christ, and the message is Christ was a mixed up incel. (Christ built Western Civilization; jews are mixed-up schizoids and parasites on Christendom, as are their stooges).

    Still, you can see the beginnings of a conciousness about what is required in the jew-bashing scenes. These “Jewish Century” actors think they’re finessing the situation, and that’s fine. But when it gets real, they’re going to have to commit (not guess, like doubting Thomas) and most lack the faith.

    Same as it’s always been.

    I like what you wrote. These Incel men should stop being negative. They need to believe that it is better not to have a girlfriend or wife who will divorce rape them with alimony and child support while simultaneously reducing the time they are able to spend with their children. These Incel men need to be happy that they can avoid false domestic violence charges etc. Incel men need to concentrate on having excellent platonic friendships with other men whether they pursue women for romantic and sexual relationships with women or not.Incel men need to realize that they can have sex with better looking women and get sexual fantasies such as reverse gang-bangs met with less negative downsides than having sex with amateur women. Virtually all men dislike getting no romantic love, and most men dislike being childless, but considering most romantic and sexual relationships with women are drought with too much danger and all too often end disastrously for men then maybe it is best to do what I said previously above.

    Most people on average, both men and even more so women, want descendants and more so want successful descendants. This is a normal healthy thing to want, and does not make them stupid animals. However, one needs to make peace with himself if he does not have descendants. All children are owned by the government and women generally speaking have been placed as their overseers with men as being slaves to the women. This needs to change with men owning their own biological children from their wife when married, and women owning the children if they are not her husband’s children like it was prior to the 19th century changes.

    Every man knows breeding is the end of his freedom and his finances forever, but just can’t wait to go waste his life supporting a house full of ungrateful dependents and a fatass fishwife. If that’s not stupid what is? Not to mention nowadays it’s also a one-way ticket to slavery as you pointed out. But ohh they want that slavery so bad it wrecks them inside if they can’t get it, lol. Wtf. Many of ’em go so nuts they murder people like those incels. Clearly…something’s not healthy just because it’s normal.

    Those people are straight up animals, they’re hardly men. A real man wouldn’t let his mind be controlled by instinct like some dumb beast in the woods, and he doesn’t need to “make peace with himself” about being free and independent.

    I am not personally disagreeing with you as I was born in 1968, never had a wife, never had children, do not want a wife and do not want children for the reasons you state. However, I in some respects am an unusual man. I am also lucky to have never been charged for child support. Most men are not like me, and I accept them for who they are. They have healthy instincts but the environment in which they live is sick plus rigged against them. I pity them, but they will have descendants when the environment becomes healthy again, and I won’t. I know what I do makes rational sense, but it makes no instinctual sense. Making no instinctual sense bothers me sometimes, and making no rational sense bothers them some or a lot. Few if any men win in this Gynocentric Misandrist Idiotic, Self-destructive, Pussy-Whooped, Cuckold, Bitchdom Cuntocracy no matter what each individual man does. The sooner this system is replaced then the better. One day this shall pass away.
