#[redacted] was a bizarre choice but i think him sounding NOTHING like him is probably a benefit

the netflix cringe right after people started taking him seriously is not sitting the best with me

my brain had to shift gears in such a major way here that it took me a moment to realize what you were talking about - i think it'll be okay, don't worry! it's easy to feel protective of that, i know, but people who don't take him seriously still aren't going to take him seriously, so it doesn't alter anything there, and the people who DO love him and take him seriously are just having fun with it because they know the truth anyway, and it's not going to change that. it's supposed to be irreverent! he would love it, he was a nut (affectionate)!!! i know there's this idea that it's a cash grab, but that's not fair either. it's just a silly way to fulfill that superhero secret agent dream, it's not meant to be serious or a statement on his legacy in that sense. if anything, it's probably better that it came AFTER the film, when that humanity and value was so restored, there are a ton of new people welcomed into the fold now to enjoy it and who will still honor that more serious aspect. all that said, you do NOT have to watch it if it stresses you/if you dislike the concept/casting/etc, it doesn't have any bearing on your own feelings and dedication.

edit: but anon looooook at him
