‘Frozen 2’ Now Responsible For More Real-World Violence Than ‘Joker’

For a month there was no escape from the multitude of takes about how DC’s Joker was going to cause real-world violence and be the catalyst for some sort of incel-uprising, and then nothing happened. Well, aside from Joker nipping at the heels of Captain Marvel at the worldwide box office nothing happened.

But now the media has finally gotten some violence caused by a movie. Since that movie was Frozen 2, it probably doesn’t make for great headlines for most sites. Except this site, this is right in my wheelhouse.

The Independent reported that a brawl broke out among a hundred British teens, some of whom were armed with machetes for some reason.

“Dozens of officers were sent to the complex after a 999 call just after 5.30pm reporting a group of youths with machetes,” a spokesperson for West Midlands Police said.

“Two machetes were seized during the trouble, which saw pockets of fighting and seven police officers left with minor injuries as they dealt with the crowds in and around the cinema.”

I know Josh Gad’s voice is annoying but bloody hell.

Investigators said they were working to understand the reason behind the disorder, which bears the hallmarks of an organised fight between rival groups.

Did anyone have “massive gang fight at a Disney movie” in the office pool?

Really, I shouldn’t be joking about this, but no one was seriously hurt and after the freak out around Joker, you have to admit it’s pretty funny Frozen was the thing to push people over the edge.
