I have a relatively new pet peeve; the what I call “shoehorning” of black characters into movies where it just doesn’t work. I was watching a movie yesterday and the scenario is the white star goes to a country western redneck bar and gets in a fight with another white guy over a girl. The girl, of course, is black because that happens every day. To me it’s just ridiculous. I quit watching the movie half way through. And that’s how all movies are these days it seems.

You most certainly must be referring to Accountant II.

And the black characters are always perfect. If there’s a bad guy or an idiot, he’s white.

It is common now for the cast to be so diverse and the roles so unlike what we know in real life that the incongruities make it impossible to be absorbed into the movie.

It is similar to when an older movie had a large cast and no main characters are focused on and we don’t know who is who because we can’t keep up with all the names and we just give up on the confusing mess, critics pan those movies for that flaw.
