9 Reasons There Is NO Reason They Should Be Making A 'Joker 2'

A second "Joker" is quite literally going to be a joke.

It was recently announced that there is going to be a "Joker 2," and fans are NOT happy about this.

Sequels are created all the time for successful films, however, "Joker" was intrinsic in and of itself. Creating a second film is completely unnecessary and, quite frankly, a waste.

A tragic mental illness story like that never gets a sequel in real life.

The ending to "Joker" was abstract for a reason.

There was no way they made "Joker" with a sequel in mind.

This is 100 percent a cash grab due to the fact that "Joker" one crossed the $1 billon mark at the box office — something NO ONE saw coming.

Joaquin Phoenix literally said: “I wouldn’t just do a sequel just because the first movie is successful,” he said. “That’s ridiculous.”

This was a huge win for DC Comics — something they needed — and now they’re just going to find a way to mess it up.

Arthur Fleck was a mentally ill psychopath who turned bad — he was not an evil genius like other interpretations of the Joker. What would he even be plotting in the sequel. It makes no sense.

The "Joker" franchise takes place in different timeline and universe than the upcoming Robert Pattinson "Batman" trilogy that is slated to begin in 2021. That trilogy will likely feature a Joker too, but not Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker. That’s exhausting.

"Joker" was a huge success because everyone didn't see it coming and most of us went into with little expectations. It will be the complete opposite for "Joker 2"

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
