And its not just getting a great actor, for example, i dont think about Julianne Moore as clarice starling at all, and she is a great great actress but it was impossible to erase the fact that she was not Jodie Foster playing her.
I disagree. I loved Moore as Clarice and had no issue replacing Foster (who was also great) in my mind. To me, Moore is another great example of why recasting works and should be used more often than just writing out characters.

I tend to find recasting distracting, but I think it would work with Kang because he's a multiverse character.

It can work if it is done right. Even Hannibal Lecter has been portrayed by different actors.

I'm never that distracted by a recast, unless the performance is drastically inferior. I usually have no problem with it. Characters are more idea than real person to me.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I think the Solo movie was better than it was given credit for, but the lead actor’s performance, was vastly inferior to what Harrison Ford did in the OT.
