Like J.K Rowling never liked him. Glad people have woken up and cancelled him too. He was awful in Willey Wonka. So bad. The original was better. ^^^^ Just like with HP/JKR, a lot of people still cling to Depp out of misplaced nostalgia, whether they're Gen Xers who crushed on him in Edward Scissorhands or Millennials who loved Jack Sparrow. Admitting that he's a washed-up has-been with a bad temper "ruins" those earlier memories. They can't accept that it's the Depp of 1995 that they're in love with, not the Depp of today. Suffice to say, I'm very glad I never got into him.  Well said Betty, couldn't agree more with you here. 
Yeah, that Depp is long gone. These people are gonna have to accept that.
Like Jana and Tim I accept Johnny for what he was back in the day as an actor but know now he's different of course. When I watch things like Edward Scissorhands it's because I like the film in general and not just Johnny himself i.e. the storyline, aesthetics, feel, and soundtrack overall. |

The same would go for me with him back in "21, Jump Street", though I know he also didn't stay there long. After some time he went away.  |

According to Wikipedia, he was on 21 Jump Street for four years.

One thing I remember about Edward Scissorhands is that Winona Ryder was in that movie. She and Depp were engaged at that time. Of course, they broke up.
You dodge a bullet there, Winona.

I remember that he even changed his tattoo after they broke up. From "Winona forever" to "Vino forever" if I got it right. |

Indeed. With alcohol as a constant companion. |

As I said, it was the Mouse that kept him from being a has-been from the 20th Century.
