    😭 noooooo you can’t expand upon the entertainment industry themes of the first by including musicals along with comedyyyyyyy

    The difference here is that LOTR is actual literature. The Joker is pulp from an era where villains were really silly. You’ll be okay, I think.

      I wouldn’t be so bold as to walk into to conversation about genre fiction and start categorizing them as “literature” or “pulp”.

      I hate musicals too, but it worked with Sweeny Todd. But I’m very skeptical.
