I agree with this clever man's assessment.

Also I still need to watch that Matrix film.

He's not wrong
Considering how much shit actors from superhero movie get, you have to get over yourself and have some self deprication

I get it but at the same time it still seems to be hard work? Like you really need to be able to dive into a scene that just isn’t there while having a camera stuck into your face in front of a green screen of nothing. Takes a certain amount of imagination and acting skills

that's what he's saying he's not trying to diss it

Is he wrong? No. But choice of words maybe could've been different lol.

Either way, WBD stays losing.

I get where he’s coming from cause you do gotta play the game to get far but I’m not always a big fan of actors dissing their work cause it’s not the artistic or awards-baity stuff.
