I’ve seen people online complaining that Alexander Skarsgard isn’t good casting as Murderbot. I’ll agree, he’s not exactly suited for how Murderbot (the very flawed narrator) expresses itself, but Alexander Skarsgard is EXACTLY what an evil future corp would think a Security Unit should look like.
Murderbot’s outsides do not match what it feels inside, that’s a repeated part of the books. It’s a corporate killing machine slowly finding it’s humanity and building community. This makes the guy who is stereotyped as ‘Manly Viking Warrior’ fantastic casting.
