"Leonardo DiCaprio's Dim Role in 'Killers of the Flower Moon' Impresses Indigenous Viewers"

Normally, Scorsese's characters are intelligent and street-smart, but Ernest is portrayed as dumb and lacking the qualities typically depicted by Scorsese. This changes the dynamic of the film, highlighting the stupidity of the bigotry and greed that fueled the genocidal campaign against the Osage people in 1920s Oklahoma.

Fans of the character Homelander from the TV show "The Boys" often debate whether his evil nature is a result of his abusive upbringing or if he would have been just as bad without it. While some believe that a normal childhood would have made him a hero, the majority agree that he would have been an average person with no exceptional qualities. Others argue that removing his traumatic past could have made him even worse. Ultimately, changing his story would result in a different character altogether, making the effort not worth it.

"Succession Season 4: Power Struggles and Emotional Eating"

Tom Wambsgans, the perpetually odd man out among the top of the Waystar Royco food chain in HBO's Succession, uses food and drink to convey his headspace. Actor Matthew Macfadyen sells Tom's identity with his flat "uh huh" line deliveries, his shrugging shoulders, and the occasional outburst of incandescent, office-furniture-destroying fury. Tom's willingness to indulge in a nosh makes him only more of an outsider, and it provides Macfadyen with opportunities to reflect Tom's humanity and occasionally to project Tom's discomfort through the food-based torment of others, usually Cousin Greg.
