I will certainly when aget endeavor to answer a question about a movie I have not yet seen ( yet I carry out have actually tickets for this Sunday )
First, let me start with a quote from Mel Brooks, among the best minds of our time.
“Tragedy is when I reduced my finger. Comedy is as soon as you fall right into an open sewer and also die.”
There is exceptionally subtle distinction here (I"m not being too sarcastic here, I hope). The tragedy is as soon as we personally endure loss, pain, injury bereason of the pain we feel. From the trailers, Arthur Fleck is watched to go via plenty in his life. The comedy aspect is from watching something as an unaffiliated observer. Depfinishing on that you are and your sense of humor, you may uncover some points funny (comedy) or not. That component is subjective to each individual.
Back to Arthur and also the spoiler in your post. Not sure wright here it falls in the plot, yet it is a movie about the mental breakdvery own of an individual who becomes a villain. Perhaps committing acts of evil are comedic to him after he has made the complete transition from a functional humale being to a comic-book level mega-villain.
