It was a different project entirely, and his overdose was likely accidental carelessness owing to multiple doctors in different cities or areas prescribing him different medications that shouldn\u2019t have been taken together, because if you\u2019re rich enough you can wander into a doctor\u2019s office and go\u00a0\u201cI have X issue, nothing I\u2019m doing is managing it properly, give me something for it\u201d, and they\u2019ll just take your word for it. So Health Ledger\u2019s death probably has only a little bit to do with Dark Knight (or not at all) and a LOT more to do with his well-known issues with anxiety and depression, which he\u2019d admittedly struggled with long before Batman. The people who worked with him on Batman have never said much about him seeming\u00a0\u201cdisturbed\u201d or otherwise bothered by the role out of character, and was even one of the nicer and more upbeat people on set. The only people who have implied that the Joker pushed him toward a mental breakdown were people writing speculative articles, fans who wanted a satisfying reason for his death, and\u2026 Jack Nicholson, who was already bitter before Ledger died that he didn\u2019t call Nicholson for advice on how to play the character, because Nicholson owns the Joker, apparently.<\/p>\n<p>So Leto is capitalizing on this\u00a0\u201cit\u2019ll make you KUH-RAZY\u201d <i>thing <\/i>that isn\u2019t actually a thing (because, like storywonker said, Hamill\u2019s been doing it forever and a day with a much more manic persona for the character and is <i>fine<\/i>) and is passively perpetuating a lie about a man who, in life, was an intensely private person. Leto is trying to out-Joker Ledger by being an unprofessional dipshit who harasses his coworkers when his competition isn\u2019t even alive. Assnugget.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Also, Ryan Reynolds understands <i>how humor works<\/i>. How he plays up Deadpool is entirely comedic. It\u2019s good-natured and laugh-with-me (and laugh-AT-me) rather than inviting an audience to laugh at <i>other people<\/i>\u00a0once he\u2019s purposely made them uncomfortable. Leto sent someone a dead rat; Reynolds told some jokes with a few kids dressed as X-Men who were in on it. Leto is trying to ~comment on society~ with his ~edginess~ in one of those\u00a0\u201cisn\u2019t it hilarious that people have POSITIVE FEELINGS ABOUT ANYTHING ahahaha\u201d; Reynolds shitposts on Twitter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>People DO make fun of Ryan Reynolds. The difference is that Reynolds is in on YOUR JOKE because he started it, so it\u2019s in good fun even if you genuinely dislike him. Leto is mistaking unfunny miscondect for quirk and edge. People are making fun of Leto because Leto isn\u2019t in on the joke that is his behavior, so he won\u2019t \u2013 and can\u2019t \u2013 roll with it and make it genuinely entertaining like Reynolds does.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>boom there it is<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>zohbugg: hangthestars: storywonker: philsandifer: milkypetalwater: thenotoriousscuttlecliff: doctorwhoxdc: How come Ryan Reynolds can go around pretty much pretending he\u2019s Deadpool all the time and Marvel come out with the movie and no one makes fun of it, and thinks it\u2019s great but Jared Leto does some crazy stuff to try and get in character for a &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/2016\/06\/02\/zohbugg-hangthestars-storywonker\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[10529,131,4],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98609"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=98609"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98609\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=98609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=98609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=98609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
