I can see your point. Tim Burton is now one of the most influential people in the movie company. But, I disagree with the fact that he is trying to make the point that looking like that is cool. I think that that view, the one of more gothic inspired works and a darker view of things, is WHY he does movies the way he does. He looks at things more darkly and cynically. I like this because he provides a darker view to movies, not your average sunny, bright, cheerful with a part that you will make you cry but has a happy ending view. He is making money for what he does, but with you saying that is a bad thing is like saying it's a bad thing for a pop/well known singer makes money for their types of style of music. I doubt Burton is trying to make it look like that being goth or dressing darkly is cool. I think he is just showing his view of things/movies/books/general. Disney has always made money. Disney always will make money. That has nothing to do with the fact that they sell Tim Burton's works. Either way I very seriously doubt Tim Burton is telling society what is cool. I doubt that people who dress 'gothic' do it because of his movies or style. To me, now this is MY personal opinion, you are saying that it is wrong that Tim Burton produces/directs movies from his view of things. That's him showing his view and expressing himself. How is that wrong? When did that become a crime?
