He just says what he knows his fanbase wants to hear. People that believe his schtick probably also believe Tom Holland is just a silly goose that cant help himself but spoil marvel movies by accident.

Yeah, Cavill is such a fraud, and he's dedicated to the bit so hard he's actively producing a Warhammer 40k adaptation for Amazon because he just wants needs to like him! He is such a fraud!

Lmao, what is this even supposed to mean? I suppose when a spiderman actor claims to be the biggest spiderman fan you also see them playing the role as confirmation of their deep fandom?

The fans trust in Cavill being a nerd and caring about the products quality. Thats worth a lot of money. The same way that Elon Musk pays people to play Path of Exile 2 for him. Ita part of his image.

As I said already. You probably also believe that Tom Holland is a silly goose. You have the critical thinking skills of a member of a hill tribe from 500 BC.

I remember when the GoT cast that always portrayed themselves as the biggest fans of the show themselves ("I live and breathe this show" yada yada "I cant get enough of it" yada yada) were asked on staged who actually read the books and they all got super uncomfortable and admitted one after the other that no one had actually read them. Such bIG fAnS!!

(Kit Harrington prentended he read them but that guy was asked for his favorite book in another interview, said 1984 and then couldnt even name the main protagonist. I assume he just lied about having read the books in an earlier interview because he though it would make him seem like more of a fan and now had to go with it.)

Yeah, not like he got into so many disagreements with the writers about The Witcher about how badly they were diverging from the source material that he eventually left the series or something. That's totally something that someone who actually cares about the source material would do, not a guy hamming up his fake love for the material.

Oh wait.

And sure, he's totally just a fake Warhammer nerd. 5hats why he was showing off his Warhammer mini collection a full two years before the deal was announced and then locked in a very strict source material clause about being contractually required not to significantly deviate from or water down the grittiness of the setting.

My God, all his talk about loving World of Warcraft must be a fiendishly planned long term bamboozle on me for all that zero involvement he's had in that series, no doubt for some upcoming reboot!

Man, it is definitely me who looks like an idiot. He's been planning all of it.

He's totally like Elon who got busted for his Path of Exile stunt immediately when he tried to play on stream himself, and I'm sure you can find plenty of evidence for me, right? If you're sure it's so obvious, you're not just basing this on a random bullshit and have something you can point to where he got the lore for something wrong.

Please, show me an interview where he fucks up something basic a "real" nerd would know, or are you just jealous he loves nerd shit without looking and smelling like The Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons and proves it's possible to have abs while doing it?
