ASKING THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS: The Joker – Patron Saint of Incels, or Bernie Bros? “[Director Todd] Phillips has spoken about how it’s ‘good’ that movies like this could lead to discussions about violence, but it would have been nice for Joker to explore it more. It has one point to make, and makes it in slightly different ways throughout: the rich are terrible and society needs to do more to help people like Arthur. That’s not to say that Joker turns Arthur into an anti-hero, at least not for the audience. It’s clear throughout that he’s a psychopath and is not someone to be celebrated.”
