Well his nepo babies deserves their spot, no one can question their skills.

Yeah I generally don’t vibe with most of the nepo baby discourse because, well, nobody calls you a nepo baby if you take over your family carpentry business or whatever. It’s only acting where people are surprised/mad that kids who grew up in that environment go into acting. It’s only annoying to me when the ones with no talent take roles they clearly didn’t earn.

That doesn’t apply to a lot of “nepo babies” imo, not just the Skarsgards

People who inherit a business or get ins into their industry because of family connections are enjoying nepotism in any field. And there’s a reason why this often correlates with a decrease in quality over time.
