Joker 2 Was an "F-YOU to Comic Book Fans" and Tarantino LOVED It.

Clownfish TV: Audio Edition

Quentin Tarantino called Joker 2 a "F-you to comic book geeks" and a "big FU to Hollywood", praising it despite its massive financial failure. Todd Phillips directed Joker 2 as the Joker himself, recklessly spending the studio’s $200 million budget and offering a 10,000-volt buzzer handshake as a surprise gift. Joker 2 is reportedly one of the biggest flops of the year, losing $200 million at the box office despite being highly anticipated. Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck is described as "definitely not the Joker" from the comics, contrasting with Heath Ledger’s "phenomenal" and "intelligent" portrayal in The Dark Knight. Tarantino enjoyed the musical sequences in Joker 2, particularly the more banal songs, viewing the film as a "fever dream" of Mickey Knox. Tarantino watched Joker 2 in an almost empty IMAX theater, describing it as a "mess" and a "big giant mess" but not an "intellectual exercise".
