Will Smith as Deadshot

That wasn't the issue. The characterization of Deadshot was wrong. It was that the character was retooled from a cold-blooded assassin to a guy with a heart of gold who happened to kill people for money, coupled with an actor who was just playing a variation of himself. The skin color wasn't the problem here.
Logan, buddy. It's me, Deadpool! I shot youuuuuu. -

Precisely. A good example of an ethnicity swap that actually works (in a similarly muddled mess of a project I may add) is Hugo Strange in Gotham. To my amazement, I never notice Wong's race at all, I merely see Professor Strange. If they were to say that they'd opened the auditions to men of all races and B.D. Wong was simply the best for the role, I would completely believe it.
Will Smith was brought into this to play Will Smith and prop the B.O. Nothing more was expected, and nothing more was delivered. -

No. He acted almost nothing like Floyd Lawton, presumably because of his ridiculous narcissistic contractual stipulations about protecting his image. The differences between his Deadshot and any other typical Will Smith character require a microscope to be seen.

he's not great, he's just a B list actor who plays himself in most films. when it comes to drama, he's worse because he speaks slower and thinks he's the best there is.
As of this film, it's okay, just didn't like the costumes.
