1. As the article points out, these are two different characters. It’s less like Kilmer replacing Keaton in Batman and more like casting a new actor to play Elvis in a movie after a different actor played an Elvis impersonator for several years.
2. Tim Allen is old AF. It’s hardly a liberal conspiracy to think that young film goers will be more attracted to a film attached to Captain America from the recent and most popular film series in history than to one attached to the Tool Time guy from a TV show in the last century. 3. Don’t make me bring up one of the only funny, and really mean, bits Ricky Gervais ever had on one of his Golden Globe monologues… 4. Isn’t this film coming out like, tomorrow? Doesn’t that mean it has been in production for several years? How good a friend is Heaton of Allen if she is just finding this out now?
