      of all the "fed up, had too much, can't take it anymore" characters, I've never understood the Joker for people to project on. He's not even that kind of character

    2. Dr. Ellie Lockhart. Republic serial villain.‏ @BootlegGirl Feb 17

      the whole thing from his famous version in the Nolan films is that his origin makes no sense and he has no real reason for what he's doing, so it's like... Nolan specifically makes it clear that he's bullshitting, he didn't really lose his wife or get beat up by his dad

      and in all previous versions and most recent versions, basically all of them except for the actual movie Joker, his motivation is nothing even vaguely close to "working class anxeity" or "male angst" or whatever

      like, Tyler Durden is probelmatic as hell and no one should sympathize with him, but "at least he's an ethos" the Joker is not an ethos

      Replying to @BootlegGirl

      You say that like it's a bug, not a feature. The Joker is big and attention grabbing without being ideologically specific enough to stop you projecting your own frustrations on to him. He's not NOT economically anxious, he's not NOT frustrated with women choosing chads, etc.

      The origin story I like for the Nolanverse Joker, that he's a US black ops guy who went full Apocalypse Now in Iraq, still places him in the position of perpetrator, not victim

      He's someone who, like Killmonger, destroyed his own humanity by doing horrible things until he was numb to them and it felt normal Then he came to the full realization that the justification he'd always had for doing them was weak bullshit And then he broke

          But his full awareness of the evil he'd become didn't push him to change, to atone, to try to fix the mess he'd made He decided to keep on doing it because he really couldn't do anything else, he'd become his job Now he kills for NO reason and not bad reasons

          Which I think is compelling and a cautionary tale in the exact opposite way as Joaquin's Taxi Joker Power as helplessness, strength as weakness What does profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul, etc

          On a related note, do you think the Comedian from Watchmen (the comic) is a good take on this kind of story/character?
