Maverick Quickie-Even the CEO of WBD is ashamed of Joker?

Well this is a surprise.


I was on FACEBOOK on a November night on the 7th looking for any posts from my friends ranting about the 2024 U.S Election results...

Nothing. It's all on INSTAGRAM and THREADS, which for now, until after Remembrance Day, I'm steering clear from for the time being until this thing's been blown over.


But what was I doing on FB?


Well I saw a post from IGN saying that WBD CEO DAVID ZASLAV is ashamed of JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX's Abysmal performance both Commercially and Critically. 


Really? 


Considering the asshole's been responsible for every WARNER BROS. Fan's suffering through his TAX-WRITE-OFF Fingers of Doom touching our Childhood CN shows left and right,

as well as his awful decisions on marketing certain films or projects that none of us have faith with,

Now the Tax obsessed Ass himself admits his Studio's output has been hit or miss this year

And he's disappointed at JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX's performance?

...........

I really don't know what to say about this...

To be honest, I never saw JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX, and I'm not going to.

And those stories about Quinton Tarantino and Hideo Kojima hoping for the film's vindication in the future, 

Don't believe those stories.

Unlike with flops from the past like BLACK CAULDRON and GREMLINS 2 where, sure they've flopped but eventually they'll be reappraised later on,

In today's INTERNET age where we lambast before the release, I highly doubt the JOKER Sequel will recover.

But if it's vindicated in the future, like say in the 2030s or 2040s, then.... 

...........

Let's wait and see, then maybe it'll prove BEN HECKENDORN's theory wrong, or right?....

Ahh. Who cares.

Ben Heck admitted that even if JOKER 2 is vindicated, it'll never be as awesome as Gremlins 2 so who are we to judge.


At least Zaslav admits the folly that befallen his tenure.


Update as of December 17 2024:

I read on Facebook that Joker: Folie A Deux found a new audience through streaming......

WHAT????? 

After my comments about how the film may never be vindicated regardless of Tarantino or Kojima's appraisal of said films, now I've been proven wrong?

Never expected this film to pull a JOHN CARPENTER'S THE THING on me.

(John Carpenter's THE THING did poorly in 1982 but was reappraised after it found success on Television and Home Video in the Mid to Late 80s.)
