Ok, it’s time to compare the facts.

1) Joker is famed for its portrayal of Arthur Fleck’s mental state. This is shown through a relationship he believes he is having with a woman through the audience perspective. A movie did this years earlier, a movie called ‘Fred: The Movie’.

Furthermore, there are portions of Joker where he is sad, looking though a bus window. Near the end of ‘Fred: The Movie’ the exact same scene happens.

Additionally, I must point out that ‘Fred: The Movie’ came out in 2010, while Joker came out in 2019, 9 years later.

2) In ‘Fred 2: Night Of The Living Fred’ the titular character is made fun of regularly by the ‘popular’ students, a role granted by what some may call the schools ‘society’ that they all live in. This is similar to how Arthur Fleck lives in a ‘society’.

The part that is in the subway is obviously a rip from the sequel movie, where Fred, under his own delusions, shoots up a school with onion juice.

[EDITORS NOTE: The cover art for Far Cry 3 is also a ripoff of the cover of ‘Fred: The Movie’]

Conclusion: Joker (2019) is a direct ripoff of ‘Fred: The Movie’ and its sequels, and all the awards earned by Joker should go to ‘Fred: The Movie’. More edits will come in as needed.
