I haven't seen this, and I probably won't, but I'm really tired of the 'let's show disabled people as psychopaths and murderers and people who constantly destroy stuff.'
I'm also tired of abled actors playing disabled actors when there are disabled actors out there. If you're going to make movies about us being pyschopaths and murders, I can't stop you. But at least hire someone who has the condition the main character has. There are Deaf/HoH actors out there who could have played this role if they really wanted to make the movie.
Abled actors can play disabled or abled roles. Disabled actors can really only play disabled roles. So until that changes, at least cast a Deaf actor in the role.

If you are writing an academic work, a novel, tv show, film script, painting, sculpture, comic, youtube short, radio play, podcast play, or even fan-fic, please look at some of academic articles on representation and stereotypes of disability within culture and media. Please be aware that how you represent disabled people, especially if your protagonist or antagonist/villain is disabled, matters. The stereotypes people use for disability are harmful to us all.
Here are a few resources to get you started.

this is why i ask, Mike, do you need to talk about anything
Yes, the aspect ratio is a thing & actors had to stand/sit very close depending on the shot. But having to stand/sit close to each other doesn’t mean you need to rest your head (coughnuzzlecough) on the other person…

Things that work in fiction but not real life
torture getting reliable information out of people
knocking someone out to harmlessly incapacitate them for like an hour
jumping into water from staggering heights and surviving the fall completely intact
calling the police to deescalate a situation
rafting your way off a desert island
correctly profiling total strangers based on vibes
effectively operating every computer by typing and nothing else
ripping an IV out of your arm without consequences

You couldn't possibly have known! No worries at all. For most people out there it would have been a great suggestion. You are lovely and I appreciate the recommendation, even if I cannot take it!

3 day old foetuses have rights, in the USA, but they stop having rights once the foetus develops and turns into a human. Especially if it becomes female, has darker skin, a disability, or discovers that it is queer in any sense of the word. Oh, and once it's out of the womb, it no longer has rights until it's an adult. Assuming it makes it to adulthood and is not shot in a mass shooting.
America... what the fuck are you doing?
I cant believe this tweet is how I find out

All I know about Gerard Way is that he wrote the Umbrella Academy comics and occasionally wears dresses, but I am happy to have this knowledge of the third thing added for context. Thank you.

I like him. He seems to have an excellent sense of humour about many things, especially himself.
A lot of people have talked about Benoit Blanc’s accent. Was he always going to sound like that, was that in the original script?

This has made my day. The absurdity of humans is just... astonishing. We have not evolved even a little bit in all this time.
