Didn't trump have orange hair or something?

[-] OpenStars@startrek.website 21 points 5 months ago

Bold of you to assume that thing on his head is "hair":-).

Isn't that JonTron the neo-nazi? I thought people stopped watching him after he outed himself. He's still around?

What's the original context of the image?

[-] CodyCannoli@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago

I think it's from JonTrons Star Wars video game series

[-] Tb0n3@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

I do believe it's from Starcade (due to the background). A JonTron series on Star wars games. He does a huge amount of quick gags. He's a pretty funny guy. Lots of memes made from his content.

Also really racist in discussions outside of his videos

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Thank you.

Joker was really close to being a great movie, but was ultimately too confused about what it wanted its message to be. Unless the message was just "I'm fed up, let's get violent already".

[-] OpenStars@startrek.website 7 points 5 months ago

Ngl, I think that was the message. As in "this is my backstory", end of story.

What made it good was perhaps more in how it was done.

Not every movie needs a moral of the story moment...

[-] pjwestin@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

That's the problem, it didn't have a real message. It was aping Taxi Driver and King of Comedy, and it copied the aesthetics of those films very well, but it was all superficial. It's a perfectly fine movie, but The Batman had deeper social commentary than Joker.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 0 points 5 months ago

Not sure why people expected hard hitting social commentary from The Joker

[-] pjwestin@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Because it tried and failed to say something profound about mental illness while imitating one of the most celebrated directors in American cinema. Not sure why you're pretending this was just another superhero blockbuster when it was clearly trying to be an Arthouse film

I remember when JonTron used to be funny
