Phillips's initial film suggested that our biggest villains are often not grand masterminds but rather 'dumb, and losers,' presenting a twist on villainy.
The sequel suggests that Arthur Fleck was only a guise, with his true nature being buried under layers of identity, leading to his final fate of being stabbed.
Joker: Folie à Deux undermines the original film's narrative by revealing that we were not watching the Joker's rise but rather the story of the man before the legend.
Instead of a traditional origin story, we examine the human beneath the mask, where Fleck's journey becomes a commentary on madness rather than villainy.
