I don't think anybody is really suggesting that one would be mistaken for the other, but rather that their similarities in design, name, and role may lead to a sense of repetition.
No, I am saying that there are people in the general audience, casual movie goers, who will be confused, and I guarantee you, someone will be asking themselves 'Why did they recast Will Smith?'
I feel like the people who would confused Deathstroke and Deashot are the same people that confuse the Ninja Turtles or Power Rangers. It'd be too negligible an amount of people to really make a difference, especially because I highly doubt a lot of those folks will even be in the audience.
Yes, exactly.
I never said this was an issue, or a concern, just a simple reality. People will do it, and we know they will because people already HAVE mixed the characters up in the past.
It's not like there will be actual critic reviews that complain of studio whitewashing by re-casting Smith; but, somewhere, there will be a Facebook post from someone's uncle, befuddled as to why they got rid of Fresh Prince.
There is nothing to argue here, then people made it more ridiculous by bring in Batman. NO one is going to confuse Batman with Deathstroke, Deadshot, Deadpool, The Grateful Dead, a Dead Head, etc, regardless of how much over lap they have in backstory, MO, etc.
The point was entirely about
passing,
superficial similarities to CASUAL moviegoers.
