Part 7/9:
Many insiders and critics agree that Joker 2 suffered from questionable artistic choices. The film's decision to incorporate numerous musical segments—yet failing to develop it into a true musical—created an inconsistent and jarring tone. Actor Tim Dylan humorously described the experience as being like watching confused theatergoers, puzzled by a storyline lacking coherence and purpose.
He highlights scenes where Joaquin Phoenix’s character, Arthur Fleck, suddenly breaks into song or musical routines—a baffling departure from what the audience expected from a Joker sequel. These misguided choices, combined with an ambiguous plot and seemingly aimless direction, made it a cinematic anomaly, bordering on an "Abomination."
