All of them were pretty iconic villians I think. Wasn’t trying pick apart what you said, I just thought you forgot about a couple of great ones.
There have been more white bad guys than black bad guys, obviously.
I think the broader point OP and everyone else here is making is that it’s all become painfully more formulaic now. Like you can take one look at an “intersectional” character from the get go and know everything they’re gonna do and say and embody for the next 2 hrs of screen time. It fuckin blows.
I LOVED Hans Gruber in Die Hard. I LOVED Wesley Snipes as Simon Phoenix or wrestling with his good and evil halves in Blade. But watching Viola Davis trying to imitate Terry Crews in the trailer to that G20 film is just fuckin cringe.
