Unpopular Opinion: Samuel L Jackson > Denzel Washington

Your not wrong.
We're all (allegedly) black. We discuss black people and black affairs on here. Why would I ever make some shyt like "Samuel L Jackson > Tom Hanks"
This thread isn't a green light to shyt on Denzel or anyone. Just a matter of preference. Don't get your panties in a bunch for daps.
Hardly a controversial take

Although Denzel may be a better actor. I prefer Samuel L movies more often than not because he's entertaining whether it'd be comedy or action. I saw Die Hard: With a Vengeance a month ago and Samuel had me dying throughout the whole movie and his presence in the movie made it better imo.
A lot of Denzel's movies are boring especially his 90s output of films. Too many snoozefests. Samuel has a better 90s run of movies.

Samuel L. is a critically acclaimed actor, but still underrated. I don't think he's on Denzel's level, but he's definitely one of the GOATs.
This scene alone is Oscar worthy.

In 2014 and 2015 this joker was in 5 movies each year
Sam gave us an astronomical amount of piff. Ya gonna miss him when he's gone
Any movie with a significant role for him is automatically entertaining. Even his minor roles are highlights of the movie like at the start of Menace 2 Society

I think you're right op. Sam has a much better range then Denzel in my opinion which is why he is able to do such a variety of roles. If you list out all the actual character types he has been able to play and put them up side by side against Denzel's, there's no comparison. I just watched the first/original Jurassic Park movie again last weekend and loved his portrayal as the seriously concerned chief engineer/scientist. He can dial it way back or go full volume and all points in between in terms of his acting range which is why he has been able to consistently portray a broader variety of roles.

He's played the same person in every single movie.
the same can definitely be said for Denzel
Denzel has self respect for roles he takes, that’s a big difference
Acting wise, it’s laughable to compare the two

Denzel the last 8 years has become the black Liam Neeson with all the same typecast roles
I prefer Sam like someone said because of entertainment but I’ll give Denzel a slight edge overall.
if my boy Jeffrey Wright had more lead roles than he most def would be #1 cause he nail all his roles

I actually like Sam more also. But they are both great.
