nah, he doesn't give off the Spike vibe or have the look, IMO.

he's more intense while Spike is more laid-back.

Almost anyone else should've played Spike. They really fucked up the casting.

Idk the guy they got for Jet is probably the best live action casting I've ever seen for an animated character.

Honestly I haven't watched it. Based on looks he's not a bad fit for the character

One Piece's three Admirals are based on japanese actors, and yet they didn't look japanese at all

Isnt that all based on the audience? I mean when the west see anime/manga they think all the characters look white, or at least most do, while in Japan they think they are japanese just by looking at the characters.

I dont recall spikes race being a huge point in the story so I dont mind someone thats not Asian (coming from an Asian)

like I dont care if its a black James Bond. I just care for acting ability. Idk I feel like John bethal has the mannerisms

hes portrayed as a rowdy masculine guy in his movies but you watch interviews of him as himself and he has that lanky stature and is pretty laid back

honestly spike is lanky though. they'd need someone lanky that can do spontaneous martial arts and then go back to lazy laid back mode in an instant.

not sure i can think of anyone that fits the bill though.

We are at the point I castings of Asians like with Black actors in the 80s where Sam Jackson and Whoopi Goldberg were defaults for a lot of casting choices. Spike always gave me the vibe of being half Asian half white so as long as the actor was around that it made sense, but they casted just the most well know Asian guy they could find who had no semblance of being an action star and was super old for the role.

I saw bits and pieces but it was so cringe and inaccurate like all Netflix Anime shows that I doubt anyone could shine.

I mean it created by Asian people so unless it was so clearly not supposed to be Asian in anyway that didnt bug me. Even Jet I thought was fine being black and I have no issues reasonably criticizing casting on race as long as actors arent attacked.
