Oh, probably benefit of the doubt. I'm tired of my visceral reaction upon seeing Depp's face, to instead be picturing all those usernames of fans who got me to the point where I sneer when I see the guy's face.
Although, just on Depp himself, I do think he's sold out for easy money at this point. When other actors glom onto a stagnant franchise, I don't usually have an opinion because I figure it's a job, and everybody likes job security - but we're talking about a guy who exhaustedly went out of his way to protest formula on film and the packaging of himself as a product. I wish some interviewer would ask him what the difference is between Fox and Cannell doing it to him 20 years ago, and Disney doing it to him now - other than the fact he personally is profiting more from it now.
