It doesn't really mean anything.

It doesn't matter.

But, like, even down to...

Jared Leto being cast as Skeletor, who is simultaneously an iconic villain and one of the stupidest characters in animated show history.

Yes.

Him and the tone of his voice, his laugh, him halfway through the first season of the animated series turning into a vaudevillian comedian and not really a true villain.

Yes, yes, exactly.

Yeah, and also pursuing some effete, awkward, homoerotic consideration in the show.

Casting Jared Leto, who is...

the most famous person in the cast, but then, and him being cast and then now going through this roughly 10 year period of like very gentle cancellation where like it has become clearer and clearer that he both doesn't not hold a strong draw for audiences, nor does he seem to be a person that people are very fond of.

And so this is happening at the same time.

He gets cast as this arch villain from the 1980s animated series.

And he also has never seen

because he is CGI'd with a skeleton face.

There's something magical about that.

But there's a specific reason for this.

The reason is that Jared Leto is always too much.

He has no ability to turn – and this didn't necessarily always used to be the case.

I would not describe his performance on My So-Called Life as overplayed.

And he has developed a lot of showy bad habits as a performer where he demands the gravity be operating around him in a movie at all times.
