Joker 2 suffers an unanticipated defeat to Madame Web, and the internet is buzzing with disbelief

Fans who were eagerly anticipating Joker 2 are now frustrated by the film's negative reception, especially when compared to Madame Web, a film that was widely rejected by Marvel fans upon its release. This situation has reignited the longstanding debates between Marvel and DC fans, creating a new topic of disagreement among them.

Joker 2 has received low scores on various well-known movie review sites, with some critics asserting that the film is even worse than Madame Web. CinemaScore has given Joker: Folie à Deux a "D" rating, reportedly the lowest ever for a comic book film, while Madame Web received a "C+," prompting a wide range of fan reactions on X, formerly known as Twitter.

"Ain’t no way boy.. AINT NO WAY I haven’t seen Joker 2 yet, but madame web didn’t even make sense," wrote a fan in disbelief.

"Joker 2 is way better than Madame Wab, the problem with Joker 2 is that it's a terrible sequel, said another fan sharing a similar sentiment.

"I'm still wondering how this can be possible," wrote another user.

Internet is shocked after Joker 2 receives a poor CinemaScore rating while being compared to Madame Web

The internet never stops buzzing about the Marvel vs. DC debate. This aspect has come to light again with the release of Joker: Folie à Deux, Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Studios' newest project.

Following the film's release, critics and the audience criticized it and gave it a low rating on multiple reviewing platforms. However, Joker 2's rating by CinemaScore, a market research firm that measures films' reception among audiences, shocked people the most when they noticed that it had received a score lower than Madame Web, which was salvaged by the audiences upon its release.

People took to X and discussed how they felt about the CinemaScore rating.

"That’s why I went to see it for myself This movie does not deserve a D Joaquin Phoenix was excellent The movie was more like a B And the reason for that wasn’t the singing. Not sorry. Can’t help it if not everyone understands the artistry of a director’s vision. I disagree with the score," wrote one user, disagreeing with the score.

"It’s really a solid C+ there’s a lot of good material in it, but not enough to be an outright success, it’s more ambitious but much less focused than the previous entry. Gaga is underutilized outside of musical numbers but when she’s on, she’s on. Not a bad movie at all," wrote another user.

"It’s not as bad as everyone is making it out to be. It could have been better, sure. But this over exaggeration of how bad it was is ridiculous," said one user.

Some people also agreed with the poor ratings, remarking that Joker 2 was the "worst"

While some people reacted negatively to CinemaScore's score for Joker 2, others agreed with the research company's rating. Like the others who took to X to express their opinions, this group also took to social media to express their opinions about the movie.

"I'm from India and we had the film before USA. In India also, audiance score is worst for a comic book movie," wrote one user on the platform.

"It’s a well deserved D. The film’s a failure and the fact of having a musical for a #Joker movie is just the first of many bad creative decisions made for the movie. Gaga’s performance is poorly executed and the film feels like if it does not know where to go or what to be, 3/10," wrote another user on X.

"It was so boring and pointless. It’s the Worst Movie I’ve seen all year. I would rather watch the horrible Crow remake, wrote another user comparing it to another movie.
