Why Do a Joker Musical If You Don't Want to Do a Joker Musical?
Briefly

Warner Bros. faces major box-office disappointment with "Joker: Folie à Deux", largely due to audiences' aversion to its unexpected musical theme and execution.
The film's attempt at musical genre is half-hearted, showcasing a hesitation that prevents it from embracing its identity fully, disappointing both comic and musical fans.
While the sequel's pivot to a musical format is bold, it falls flat, struggling to deliver the vibrant energy characteristic of true Broadway spectacles.
It takes nearly half the movie before it fully embraces its musical nature, showcasing a sense of embarrassment rather than confidence in artistic direction.
