Talk:The Joker vs Junko Enoshima/@comment-25260588-20161222055335

For me the Joker is a lot crazier and possibly done worst things than Junko could've done. She plunged the world into despair and hopelessness, that much is true. But the difference I've seen of both of them is that with Junko who's obsession with Despair drove her to do these things to the point where (some time before DR1)



she pretended to be someone else and killed someone she grew a liking to for the feeling of Despair. And with it the events that would soon plunged the students of Hope's Peak Academy and the world of DR into

tragedy and ultimate DESPAIR.

For the Joker however... Personally, i don't know where to describe the things this guy was able to do, get away with, planned, or orchestrated.



Yes, Junko is undeniably intelligent, manipulative, and Insane. The Joker in the other hand is in a whole new level of where the world DR is yet to see or hope to. Although the Joker might have not plunged the world into total anarchy with a single event (probably cause of a certain bat wearing millioner and his super friends) he have shown considerable damage and chaos to wherever he goes or in. He doesn't only make people break just with despair but their own meaninglessness, their own fragile ego and madness hiding behind their backs.



Hence

Why can't you see the funny side? Why aren't you laughing.

And finally we get to why i choose Joker over Junko. With JE she embrace and at times defines herself as Despair and loathes Hope, while Mister J simply throw those two out the window and see what would you do in a world without meaning. To simplify (for me) Junko embraces Despair (doing everything to feel it, at times causing a paradox on to trying to achieve it) While Joker laughs at it. (Viewing Hope and Despair are nothing more but meaningless titles, a sick joke to delude ourselves to the inevitability in which madness and humor is the emergency exit) leaving the greatest practical joke of all, '''NOTHING. '''

Note: Though i would prefer the Joker, Junko is still an interesting female antagonist, not at all like most. I hope to see more characters like her though
