Also large swathes of cast and crew, including the leads, in The Abyss never wanting to talk about that film ever again because the filming was such a nightmare.

Yep. Similar stories from Titanic as well. Kate Winslet wouldn't work with him for a full 25 years afterward, only returning in 2022 with The Way of Water.

I think directors like Cameron & Tarantino did for film what Gordon Ramsay did for the hospitality industry - normalising abusive behaviour as a necessity for perfection. I'm just tired of the "abusive genius" trope.

Lump that in with the "tortured genius" trope too and dispense with all of this self-hating nonsense that you need to suffer to achieve results.
