playing a fictional superhero is too dark but playing a famous pedo is high art?

also all the shit on euphoria

Superman doesn't get you awards + acclaims.

It's weird that it doesn't explain what he meant by dark. It could mean he finds the fanbase scary or the military/imperialism subtext. There are plenty of things you could find dark about superheroes.

or the military/imperialism subtext

lmao gurl, you're giving this mofo way too much credit.

I'll be honest. I don't really know who this guy is lol. Priscilla is the only thing I've seen him in, and I don't know what he's like as a person. He could be very socially aware! Or not. I wouldn't know.

he may mean being trapped in the hollow superhero production machine as an ~artiste who wants to make interesting ~cinema, idk. everyone has fatigue for them, can't imagine it's appealing for hot hyped up actors to get caught in that undertow right now. idk if i would've used "dark" but it actually makes sense to me if that's how he meant it

[pinkspade]

yeah i didn't read the article but i don't think he meant that the subject matter was too heavy for him lol

[champagnexdream]

LITERALLY lol

[astrofisica]

I don't even care for the guy, but it's quite clear he meant the superhero material is soul crushing vs. being in a more meaningful production that clearly condemns Elvis.

maybe he means the color gradient of DC movies is too dark
