Jack Black seems to be a good fit

Not a bad fit, but why not the original voice actor? That's what a lot of people want to see. These VAs do amazing work and their faces aren't on screen

there was a whole pile of shit happening between gearbox and the original claptrap.

As for the current(? no idea, havn't played anything after pre-sequal) claptrap, they want star power, which is why the mario movie cast had none of the current voice actors for any of the characters.

I get it, but as a fan of Mario, would you rather watch the movie with the va or Pratt?
I'm 100℅ va, but I may be weird

I'm explaining the answer to your question, not saying the reasoning is good or bad.
