Re: we live in a society
That's actually a misquote, and the actual quote makes a lot more sense, but it still came out of Maggie Thatcher so it's still ultimately garbage.The Ghost of Ember wrote: ↑Mon Oct 21, 2019 10:09 ammargaret thatcher proved there was no such thing as society in the 1980s try harder op

Re: we live in a society

Re: we live in a society
It was a meme well before the movie came out. The phrase just kinda represents the type of vapid "societal critique" people expected the movie to give, and in the end the movie barely did that. It just kinda came and went trying to provide commentary and desperately claim it didn't have a stance at all at the same time, so while ultimately mostly harmless, it's just kinda... nothing?

Re: we live in a society
i think it's also a reference to how internet edgelords latched onto the joker since the dark knight and use him as some kind of inspiration/mouthpiece/meme/whatever

Re: we live in a society
Out of context, "We live in a society" sounds like a creative way to reprimand someone for acting uncivilized. You know, like "This is the civilized world. Act like it."
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking isn't thinking of...

It’s the movie to go to if you want to see a remake of Taxi Driver starring a clown, I guess?Perpetual Motion wrote: ↑Mon Oct 21, 2019 6:37 pmIt was a meme well before the movie came out.

Re: we live in a society
To paste in the explanation I used on Discord earlier:
I remember seeing such pictures drifting around the Internet for roughly a decade now, if not more.Usually [an image had] some lukewarm take like "we live in a society where gamers are feared more than gun owners" and it used an image of the Joker for the purpose of being edgy.
And the "bottom text" thing came from a meme generator that used "top text" and "bottom text" by default at the top and bottom, respectively.

Re: we live in a society
i haven't seen the movie, but from what I hear about it, it's most scathing criticism is "we should improve society somewhat". The basic concept of the movie isn't anything that I'm interested in either, because it's basically a movie about humanizing a sad cis male white dude who ends up committing huge crimes and is known for terrorizing and murdering people, which feels kinda gross in this day and age?Perpetual Motion wrote: ↑Mon Oct 21, 2019 6:37 pmIt was a meme well before the movie came out.

And even just having a movie about the Joker also extremely makes me not interested in it, because the Joker, while he is well regarded as THE Batman villain, and while he can be a good villain and an entertaining character, he 1) doesn't feel compelling enough to stand entirely on his own without batman, and more importantly 2) he's been played out to death in mass media, when batman has a gigantic rogue's gallery of villains to tend with. Sure, not all of them are as well known as the Joker, but like, there's plenty of more compelling villain characters to pick from than *just* the Joker. But I guess not all of them can't make the big bucks from brand recognition like their cash cow villain, so that's not good enough for DC.
