Allow me to quote Mr. William Shatner from his song, "Has Been":

Riding on their armchairs
They dream of wealth and fame
Fear is their companion
Nintendo is their game
Never done jack and two thumbs Don
And sidekick don't say dick
We'll laugh at others failures
Though they have not done sh*t

Just about sums it up.

NOTHING ELSE can explain the last ten/fifteen (twenty?) years of the same goddamned motif. Let him have his fun, because I don't see any reason to see the next shadowy, baroque PG-13 pop art disasterpiece he authors. Helena Bonham Carter must be a lynx in the sack.

Tim Burton chose the latter, and if this causes him to be pigeonholed, fettered to an adolescent fan-base, and easily-targeted by parody memes… then hey. I may not love everything Mr. Burton does, but I'm sure he's a smart guy, and I'm sure he's no longer concerned with the opinions of armchair critics (which really describes all critics these days, when you get right down to it).

I found the real Burton to be funnier than any other spoof.

As a horror fan, it is time to head into Jospeh Losey territory…or even the still resonant dump William Friedkin took on haute entertainment industry self-satisfaction with the arrival of the pissing, puking, mocking demon in 'The Exorcist'. Maybe it's time Tim bailed on Disney and got back with Warner Brothers. Is this is even possible? And make that sick, chilling, insightful new movie with Johnny Depp playing 'normal'

Oh, please, may I join the club? I too wish to feel nothing but cynicism! I too wish to find respite only in my over-educated, hyper-critical, nihilistic compartmentalization of all that used to give me happiness–what others call…art. Oh, the glory of it all…

A Baumbach/Burton collaboration might be kind of inspired though. Uninteresting white people whine about their lives in an artificially quirky mall goth fantasy world. And in 3D, so Baumbach's bland characterization pops off the screen. However that turns out, it couldn't be worse than The Unfantastic Mr. Fox.
