Daily Inspiration Quote by Marton Csokas

Csokas is doing that actorly tightrope walk between candor and brand safety: admitting he “miss[es]” the “sexual deviance” while immediately laundering the phrase through craft talk. The dash-heavy delivery matters. It mimics someone thinking aloud, letting the prurient word land, then scrambling to reframe it as something respectable: “psychological,” “human,” “arguably.” That last hedge is key. He wants the charge of transgression without sounding like he’s lobbying for more kink on a family-facing property.

The intent reads promotional but not empty. He’s pointing at a tonal shift often demanded by modern franchise management: what used to be text becomes subtext, what used to be bodily becomes interior. “Hints” is the operative word, a nod to how animation (and corporate IP) can imply desire with glance, pacing, power dynamics, and voice rather than explicit content. He’s basically praising constraint as an engine for sophistication: less sex as spectacle, more sex as character pathology and longing.

There’s also a quiet defense of adaptation. By saying the series “takes that sexuality” only “to the extent” it can, he acknowledges limits without blaming anyone. The subtext: audiences still want edge; studios want broad accessibility; actors want to sound like stewards of “human” storytelling rather than merchants of scandal. The result is a pitch for erotic tension as psychology - a way to keep the original’s transgressive aura while fitting the current cultural and commercial mood.
