I cannot relate to this as I never followed Jack Black much. I am curious as to what people's opinons are - don't downvote this if you think it's my opinion, lol, because it isn't, but I thought it was spicy and I could see some interesting Fediverse feedback.
Jack Black is a national treasure. He's full of heart and comedy and true musical talent. Yes, Tenacious D alone earns you far enough cred to do some stinker movies and still be cool. These movies may suck but he's just enjoying life and saying yes to the funnest jobs in the world. I don't blame him. I get how younger people might just know him as the goofy actor from Jumanji and all these other churn-out movies he's done lately and not get the hype, but for 90s kids he will always be on a pedestal.
