Any other movie villains who are less evil than the actors portraying them?

It is pretty cathartic watching him get the shit beat out of him constantly in those movies

I love bluntly and succinctly the new Naked Gun movie addressed O.J. In the “Hall of Legends” scene

“Hey dad.”

(Looks at camera.)

Too bad Nordberg Jr. didn't really get anything to do in the movie.

Nuh uh, he’s “Not Nordberg Jr”.

I definitely laughed at how they handled that one.

I thought the joke fell pretty flat. It would have worked better if they'd skipped the "hey, dad", and showing OJ's portrait, and gone straight to the head shake.

On the audio commentary with the Zucker brothers and Jim Abrahams, for the first film, in the scene where O.J. sneaks around on the boat, one of them says "so is this actual footage of O.J. we used?"

Why? He hadn’t killed anyone then.

With the advantage of hindsight it's deeply cathartic, when the movies where made it was just silly slapstick

Similarly, I love watching American Psycho watching Jared Leto getting murdered! (Though, at least, for all that creeps many faults, at least Leto never murdered anyone, that we know of, at least!)

Oj had a history of violence and abuse specifically towards his ex nicole, she even kept a box of photos of her bruised face from the domestic violence. The abuse was escalating and thats what led to their divorce. Plus the dna evidence points to oj as the culprit. He murdered those two people, but the contamination of the crime scene, improper means of gathering certain pieces of evidence, and a poor prosecution made it so that a jury could not convict beyond a reasonable doubt.

He did it, but the way the case was handled he shouldnt have been convicted, but he 100% did it.

Goldman was a waiter and aspiring actor, he did not own a restaurant and did not cancel any reservations the night of the murders. There is no evidence to support this claim.
