All the Joker stuff so far is the master stroke of a deranged mad man and calculated by marketing to deliver the most controversy possible.

So there has to be a Jesus allegory every time? Can't Superman just do it again? Why Joker?

I am willing to believe that Joker Christ was the result of poor decision-making skills somewhere in Vanity Fair or WB's marketing/promotional department. If this poo poo is actually in the movie though, all bets are off.

It’s genuinely really weird that the one thing Snyder felt he HAD to shoot to put in this film, the one thing that brought people back to set, was to bring in a pedo who wasn’t even in the original film and give him a bunch of dumbass costumes to wear while making a meme reference

My guess is it is in the movie. In the knightmare surrender future sequence seen in the trailer where Joker works with Batman, I think they're a short pov flashback scene detailing how Joker got from A to B. In the Jesus photo you can see he's wearing scrubs and a mask, looks like his escape from Arkham. That would be my guess.

I think of all the stuff the Joker has done cosplaying as Jesus seems pretty tame.

I thought we were supposed to leave Spider-Man 3 thinking the butler was in Harry's head. Did I make that up?

While the finished movie doesn't give the idea that the butler was a figment of Harry's imagination, it was definitely implied in the novelization. The novelization of Spider-Man 3 was a good deal longer, but also a more coherent story. It looks to be based on the full version of the script before a bunch of scenes (which were mostly filmed) got cut.

An early scene has Harry at home in his kitchen with the butler trying to console him. Harry doesn't want his help. The butler offers him some milk and Harry slaps the glass out of his hand, causing it to spill all over the table. He puts his head down for a second and when he looks up to apologize, there's no sign of the glass, milk or butler. So either that guy cleaned it up and cheesed it in record time, or Harry was just hallucinating. And if he was imagining him there, then any other scene with the butler is suspect.

So either the butler did tell him this news about his father at the eleventh hour or it was Harry coming to terms with what kind of person Peter is, especially compared to his psycho father.

There's a MK canon that people actually care about?

I literally make income off that poo poo.

Mortal Kombat's story summed up:

MK1: People from Earth need to win a martial arts tournament or they will be invaded by Barbarian World. Chosen One Bruce Lee saves the day.

MK2: Barbarian World's king Heavy Metal Skeletor goes "Double or nothing on my turf?" Chosen One Bruce Lee saves the day.

MK3: Barbarian World decides to just invade Earth anyway. Chosen One Bruce Lee saves the day.

MK4: Satan invades Earth. Chosen One Bruce Lee saves the day.

MK5: Two sorcerer villains decide to just team up and kill Chosen One Bruce Lee. Afterwards, they come up with a plan to take everything over with a zombie army. They actually beat the rest of the good guys!

MK6: Some elderly idiot spent his entire life thinking he was taking part in some holy mission from the gods, only to be a pawn in resurrecting Dragon Thanos. Dragon Thanos takes over the sorcerer guys' operation. Old Man Idiot saves the day.

MK7: Every MK character has a Royal Rumble match at a magic pyramid where the winner will get ULTIMATE POWER. There's a new main hero, but that doesn't matter. Heavy Metal Skeletor wins and is going to WrestleMania!

MK8: Non-canon crossover with the DC Universe. Fun fact: Sub-Zero is the only MK guy allowed to cleanly defeat Batman.

MK9: Seconds before dying, Dumbass Thunder God sends a message and visions back in time to his MK1 self. We go through the first three games with Dumbass Thunder God not having any idea what he's doing, but seemingly making things worse with each decision. Heavy Metal Skeletor dies, but there are barely any heroes left alive and we know Satan's on his way.

MKX: Turns out they didn't need Chosen One Bruce Lee to stop Satan after all! Jump forward a couple of decades and we have a new generation of good guys (led by Snarky Soldier Girl) and the new guy running Barbarian World isn't so terrible. Satan shows up again with a cool final form. Snarky Soldier Girl saves the day.

MK11: Satan's Mom is pissed and wants to reboot the timeline without Dumbass Thunder God there to annoy her. She causes some time rifts and everyone gets to meet their MK2 selves. Everyone hates their counterparts except for Scummy Cyborg Crime Boss, who totally wants to bang himself. Chosen One Bruce Lee, the other Chosen One Bruce Lee and Dumbass Thunder God do a Fusion and save the day.

Then, via DLC, one of the evil sorcerer guys shows up and goes, "GREAT SCOTT, MARTY! We have to go back to the future! But you have to give me the car keys and not question a single thing I say despite the fact that I'm the least trustworthy character in this series!"

Honestly, that would be an interesting aspect to explore. Having these fighters compete in the most horrific death matches, only to come back (through MAGIC) with their memories intact of the trauma they suffered.

Not all his fans are insane, I just want to live and work in a Hollywood where theres room for visions like Snyders and I support him hard because someday Id love to make a movie like Man of Steel or BvS. Thats it.
