Someone wondered how the flop sequel Joker: Folie A Doo-Doo could be fixed. Someone wrote an elaborate article on a website whose name I mention in the same cadence that Jim Carrey’s Riddler screams out “BRAIN DRAIN!” Someone had thought about all the fixes that could have fixed this somewhat ill-conceived movie. I’m sure they’ve given this issue a lot of thought on how this Joker sequel could have been salvaged.
I won’t bother with an overly long post on how to fix Joker 2. I’ll just tell you straight up how to fix the movie.
Don’t make it in the first place.
Joker (2019) didn’t need a sequel. Not everything needs a sequel. Sometimes, a sequel runs the risk of sullying the original and just adds nothing to the overall narrative. The guy who directed Joker didn’t want to make a sequel, but he was told to make a sequel, so he did everything he could to make a movie that was so vile, nobody would like it or pay money to see it in theaters.
That may or may not be the case, but if it is, it’s a brilliant strategy. Hopefully, it pays off and there won’t be a Joker 3.
