But what do you expect? They can't just cast a ton of various Western actors to play the roles. The few English-speaking actors that Toho employed in the Godzilla films since the Heisei era were pretty much all terrible. You have to consider how hard it is to find good Western actors in Japan, the language barrier, and the budget of the film. If Hollywood made the film, it might be possible to have actors of various races, but it was never going to be possible in a Japanese film.
