I'm not the only one in this thread that enjoyed him in that roll.
I'm about to explain something to you, and I can't recall the vocabulary word. Fair warning, and I sincerely apologize. There's a way movies bring forward information on characters without doing the world building or character development. That's by using an actor that already has that movie history in their previous films. It has a name, and it's been done a lot more lately than when we were younger.
When you see people like The Rock always being the same character, or Ryan Renalds. Sometimes it's done intentionally. Film buffs would know the vocabulary word. I just learned about it, thought it was an interesting method, and moved on. But, think of Samual L. Jackson's character in XXX. It's not just type casting. Sometimes it's done intentionally using the technique I cant think of the vocabulary word for.
I watched Gunslingers last week, and the best part of the movie for me was watching Nicolas Cage be a completely not NC character. I was disappointed in the ending of that movie. Spoiler for whiners. A town full of outlaws should have kicked more ass. But, it wasn't the same tired movie. Still would recommend the watch!
Fatigue is the problem. Black replacement is done so much in all of media that even when it is executed well like what you are saying, everyone is already so jaded from the fatigue that it tarnishes any good one. Every damn commercial, poster, ad, etc… has some “well to do” black portrayed as something that the majority of all people know is an extremely rare exception to the norm.
Samuel L. Jackson killed it as Nick Fury.
Not really, Sam Jackson always acted as Sam Jackson

I feel glad I don't watch anything with ads.
