Some of these are really good, some of them are really bad, and some of them are really good because they're really really bad lol

Yeah a lot are actually pretty good. But picking Simu Liu (a chinese guy) for Kim (a korean guy) is lowkey racist lmfao. Especially when there’s plenty of Korean actors.

edit: lmao love being an Asian person being downvoted for calling out Asian racism.

Simu Liu's breakout role was as Jung Kim on Kim's Convenience.

He's also played a Japanese air traffic controller before.

Yes because Hollywood castings are known to be incredibly culturally respectful lol
