Jack Black. Seems like a nice dude, but he’s a an annoying presence in every movie he’s in. His is the definition of a “sweat act”.

    He turned his back on his bandmate after said bandmate made a joke about wishing Trump got assassinated, and he condemned palestine for standing up to their oppressors. He's a shitlib at best

    To be fair, the only Palestine comments I've seen were from immediately after Oct 7, when that was a fairly reasonable take.

    Still though, total sellout. Tenacious D defined my adolescence and it's really disheartening to watch JB heel turn after tasting that Kung Fu Panda money.

    I agree about Palestine, where there was a huge, disheartening cry from America in October - December 2023, when the general attitude was that this was all a terrorist attack, and not the beginning of a genocide. I am definitely wary of celebrities who made pro Israel statements then, but I feel many felt expected to, or were just grossly misinformed.

    He does sort of just suck though. I feel the internet's perception of his soured so fast in the 2020s, from beloved to loathed, and all he did was keep doing what he always does, just with a tiny amount more selling out, which was enough to snowball the hate.
