Max Carpenter @solexyoghurt.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Wilson's screen persona is usually less trenchant and always more pithy, which is why it seems to work best for short-form essay material rather than the grand-scale stuff Fielder's up to these days. it's remarkable how much Fielder's closed the gap between his real self and his screen self. 010
Max Carpenter @solexyoghurt.bsky.social · 09/10/2026it's much more rich than that. I think Fielder's style has matured from a comedy that's closer to what you're saying into something that's far more poignant. from people who work with him: his seeming dead-pan style is simply his true personality, and not jokingly, tho his awareness of it is key. 110
