@bilbeaulaggins: You have to take in consideration that most of these are people that consider Endgame the best movie ever made.

True. And I'll concede that Endgame was way better than this dreck.

But he isn't, it's the society he lives in that pushes him in that direction.

Seems you missed the point of the movie.

He shot Murray Franklin in the head on live TV for what, exactly? Lampooning his terrible comedy routine?

I don't think there was the implication there that all are inherently violent, but the reality is some are. Arthur snapped, as people do. His character was also modeled after a villain who is by nature violent so you may be conflating mental illness with the nature of the character itself.

Though why does the movie even need the DC universe at all? It was odd to me, it can stand well enough on its own.

Good point. The attempts to tie it into Batman lore were hamfisted at best. The scene where he confronted Bruce was weird and out of place, and the scene where Bruce's parents died felt very contrived.

How, exactly, did this movie rake in $1,000,000,000+ globally?

-Perpetuates stereotypes about the mentally ill

-"Story" was 100% predictable

-Characters were all one-dimensional stereotypes (the "mean rich kids", the "asshole boss", the "lying co-worker", the token "you were the only one who was always nice to me" guy, etc) and behaved in the exact monolithic way you'd expect; in other words: no depth

-Writing was sub-par and, at points, sounded like reddit incel fanfiction or a copypasta you'd find on r/politics

-Unironic uses of "Kill the Rich" and everyone dressing up like clowns to protest...something (it was never really explicitly explained)

-Joker being "raised from the dead" and held up as some sort of Christ figure at the end

I imagine this movie is how edgy redditors and bugmen envision the real world. Glad I got this as a free Redbox rental.

Might as well have titled that article: "Why 2018 is the year you should finally buy a Palm Pilot"

Don't care. Still psyched for Halo 6.

The truth is that Microsoft has a software issue. They are dorky old men clinging to the 80s.

I thought that was Nintendo?

As spiritual successor to Iwata, I promise you that Nintendo has all the freshest gameplay ready for you with the Switch. That part of Nintendo is the best part, come on it's the fucking 80s bro, but new gameplay is at your fingertips as we speak. You don't even want to know how hardcore the Switch is capable of providing you with the gampeplay love you need.

Tried a friend's Switch. Not interested...at all. If you like it, cool.

Same. It feels gimmicky, just like almost all of Nintendo's consoles. Albeit, it feels less gimmicky that past consoles.

Bayonetta 3 is a Switch exclusive because Nintendo funded it. And Nintendo funded it because no other developer was willing to assume the risk since the franchise has historically not sold that well.

This is one thing I appreciate when a console experiences unexpected success: The manufacturer's windfall allows them to fund games that otherwise would not get made.
