The 'Joker' Worry

This week, there's been a lot of hype over people worrying about the new movie 'Joker' and the violent content related to the storyline.

Lets be honest here....the Joker is a fictionalized character, who has been around for more than sixty years.  It's just that someone finally asked the question....how did the mortal human eventually turn into the Joker.

You could see over the past three years, this twist and turn with the Gotham series, and how Jerome Valeski transformed himself....week by week....into crazy nut-case with an agenda to 'fix' society.  Except the movie version has gone to the ninth degree, and this Joker is crazy serious about resolving the woes of society.

Worrying about fictional character hype?

Should this crowd have said something when Breaking Bad came out and you were introduced to Walter White and Gus Fring?  Most of us came to respect both guys. 

What about Hannibal Lecter?

What about Saruman the White from Lord of the Rings?

What about Lord Voldemont from the Harry Potter series?

What about that Annie Wilkes nutcase gal from Misery?

There are a thousand bad-guy fictional characters out there.  Some of them are just plain nut-crazy....like that Alex character from Fatal Attraction, the psycho nutcase  who probably has damaged over 10,000 American guys after they watched the movie and got permanent damage from it.  Those guys will never marry or have a true relationship.

So I don't see what the heck these idiots are warped-up about.  Fake worry?  More or less.  Like fake news.
