They are also predictable and relatively uncomplicated. Which is not a knock on the genre. I am a proud reader of romance novels, and romance is the backbone of the publishing industry because it is also predictable and relatively uncomplicated. 

My point is genres other than superheroes should be predictable and uncomplicated if they want to attract audiences. That's how it used to be. The directors and actors of today that are actually talented don't want to now because they want to be "edgy" and "challenging".

They had to make her as wretched as possible to prop up Paz Vega's character.

I don't know, sometimes taking a risk works, and has many times in the past.

Yes, but that's how you get Joaquin Phoenix winning the Oscar for Joker.

Would that be considered a risk though?

I am sure the nerd community thought a Joker without the Batman was a gigantic risk. And the sequel even coming off of a hit since its being reported to be a musical is even more of a reach.

My bad, should have said "Wouldn't that be a risk..." instead.
