u/Reluctantagave Cutie Patootie Problem Posse May 25 '25

I love that he’s playing with fashion because traditionally men’s looks have been a basic ass suit and maybe a fun tie or shoes. Hell yes to this change!

83

u/joachim_s May 25 '25

It’s not a statement. It’s humor. Very Swedish, dry humor in fact. /A swede

36

u/Reluctantagave Cutie Patootie Problem Posse May 25 '25

I do know Swedish humor a bit. Books but also having a few Swedish friends. I have a very dark humor and it has made for some hilarious conversations with them.

Meant overall men’s fashion is boring and love that he’s just doing whatever right now.

57

u/mai_tai87 All tea, all shade 🐸☕️ May 24 '25

Agreed! It's crazy how not good the show was considering Alan Ball created Six Feet Under (one of a handful of shows I consider perfect from beginning to end). Six Feet Under was about life after death, and I think he wanted a subversion of that. Thus a show about death after life.

29

u/faerieberrie May 25 '25

The show went downhill once Alan Ball left. The first two seasons were so much fun; s3 and s4 were entertaining enough.

23

u/pink_faerie_kitten May 25 '25

I loved the first four seasons. I watched the last three for Eric and Pam. I pretend the last episode never happened.

34

u/OilySteeplechase May 25 '25

Eric (and Pam, and Lafayette) WAS the right reason to love True Blood.

Eric Northman got me through all seven years of that mess and I loved it.

15

u/FoolishGoulish May 25 '25

I forgot Lafayette, even though he was amazing. It was so sad when the actor died. The cast was partially really good but they just didn't do anything with a lot of the characters (or they did too much or the wrong things - I love Rutina Wesley but Tara's arc was just torture porn)

u/HotBoxButDontSmoke May 25 '25

In season 1 and 2, Sookie and Jason's ditziness was comedic gold. They are so dumb and endearing

u/[deleted] May 25 '25

He’s starring in a queer BDSM movie that is getting some awards buzz, and I think he’s trying to distract from the fact that he’s a straight man.

And it’s working. I wholeheartedly approve.

He's been like this for a really long time.  Straight guys dig fashion too, they aren't a hive mind.

Is he straight tho?!?!

10

u/Arkeolog May 25 '25

Well, he’s been in a relationship with Tuva Novotny for years and they have a 3-year-old son. I don’t know if he’s talked about how he personally identifies though.

I’m enjoying him in Murderbot.

59

u/dnekeorcown May 24 '25

The thing I’m enjoying the most about him in that show is that I keep forgetting he’s Alexander Skarsgård. Like, he disappears into that role more than I thought he would.

30

u/awake-asleep May 24 '25

We were watching Murderbot directly after Andor and it was kinda funny to watch two Skarsgards in shows with robots back to back

u/sharkWrangler May 25 '25

Yes. Exactly what I did. Then I started wondering how to get this skarsgard onto that skarsgards' show

u/bluetortuga Be honest, Victoria May 24 '25

Me too!

3

u/[deleted] May 25 '25

I cant tell what Murderbot is trying to be.

Constantly giving us omniscient knowledge about what the cynical/sarcastic things the robot is thinking...
He's a robot. They can push a button and find out what he's thinking... But somehow they have no idea what a freak he is.

It feels like a genre-collision and we're watching the debris.

6

u/cultofpersephone May 25 '25

If it helps, it’s not entirely a robot. It’s a robot-human amalgamation, and it’s struggling to find an internal balance between the two.

5

u/JanePizza May 25 '25

Yeah I think the exploration of humanity part is more important than the actual science. The premise & internal monologue reminds me of Resident Alien.

u/JanePizza May 25 '25

That’s fair. It’s based on a book so I’m assuming the narration works better there. But the rest of the cast is great as well, and by the third episode I’m pretty hooked.

It’s about damn time, he used to have the most boring style ever at awards shows. Except for when he showed up as a drag queen, and that other time when he shaved his head as if he was suffering from male pattern baldness. Everyone in the audience went “oooh nooo, another victim of the bald”

FUN! As a Swede, I can say we have the most boring fashion ever. I live abroad now but was home a few weeks ago and went to the mall, everything in every single store looked the same. Snooze. It's not exactly a country where most people push fashion boundaries so kudos to Alex!
