It's coloring the way the audience is going to receive the series because you are injecting your own opinions and the themes that you're putting into your work.

performance, supposedly, presumably, into what the audience is supposed to experience.

We did a whole video recently, or you did, about Wicked as well, and how people were like, you know, no one mourns the Wicked, and running and dancing became a whole TikTok trend.

And you were like, you guys don't realize that you're being the...

the bad guys in this story.

You think that you're like, you know, allied with the good guys, but you're actually acting out the very thing that the story warns against.

And also made me think of the recent Bridgerton actress who, you know, people say, yeah, OK, Bridgerton, they got it's it's it's race swaps of old

uh you know old britain but you know it's all it's this fictionalized thing but then she comes out and says but queen charlotte was actually black and then and she's like inserting all these like race narratives into her performance and and what she thinks about the show so this is like a common thing now uh where

actors or audiences who are are misinterpreting source material and what it actually is is meant to reflect or what it's saying about or what the actual history is and just again filling it in these like you know predefined political agendas

The recent example of butchering source material with that is the Rings of Power, Amazon's billion dollar project.

uh, early quotes came out of the show runner saying like, you know, this is an opportunity for middle earth to, to look like the real world of today.
