A dangerous movie
Many reviewers see the Joker as a dangerous film because it might inspire incels to identify with the character as a hero and copy him.

Thanos, the character
In 'Avengers: Infinity War', Thanos is one of the main characters: a purple giant warlord, who believes that there are too many people in the Universe with not enough resources. Furthermore, he plans and eventually succeeds to make half of the world population disappear by snapping his jeweled fingers.
However, the truth seems to be quite the opposite: the more individuals we are, the more resources we can enjoy.
Humanity and its improving pace
Individuals tend to generally believe that things cannot go but from bad to worse. However, history has always proven that there is place for and improvement will forever happen, at its own pace.
