So?

The 2005 version featured a couple who are both assassins and married, but unaware of each other's occupation. They appear to be skilled at their jobs.

The 2024 version is completely different. Two screw-ups who are paired together for some reason and work together from the start. They are a couple of dupes; who delivers a package that turns out to be a bomb that explodes as soon as they leave the building?

If this show was called Mr. and Mrs. Jones, would anyone be tearing out their hair over the race swap?

Is anyone tearing out their hair? They're just remarking how silly the race swap is.
