Of all the beautiful black actresses in the world, why chose someone ugly? Do they want people to criticize her so they can call it racist and have the media push the movie like they did for Black Panther among others?
If she's a Bond-type character, then she's using seduction regularly. How is that going to be believable from a chick that looks like her?
Hollywood continues to push the SJW/Feminist agenda and doesn't look they're slowing down.
shareI was really looking forward to seeing Idris Elba as 007. Oh well.
shareYou and many others (including me). I'm still really confused about this. I could bet my money he'd be a bonafide ticket draw over a supporting character in a B-List Marvel movie.
shareYou and five other losers on the internet were looking forward to seeing that.
shareI'll repeat the explanation I gave a few days ago talking about the casting in The Little Mermaid and Zelaya as MJ in SpiderMan.
It's a religious thing*
When you're a producer and you're blackwashing main characters to prove your virtue, to prove you're inclusive, to prove you're a good believer in diversity, the casting needs to reflect your devotion.
Imagine for a moment that they casted an attractive or a charismatic female lead. How that proves your devotion? Maybe you casted her because she was charismatic, and that case your devotion would be unclear, your faith would remain unproven.
BUT... if you cast an ugly chick, if you cast Lashana Lynch as 007, if you cast Halle Bailey as the Little Mermaid, if you cast Anna Diop as Starfire... then it must be true faith, because the only way you would have casted those chicks in those roles is because you're a good believer in diversity. Then you have proven your devotion, and as a producer, you have proven yourself deserving to be accepted as part of the flock, Diversity bless you.
History repeats. We're just watching a new cult rise and spread.

*I call this neo-religion 'Diversitarianism', though you can call them Modern Left, SJW, Modern Feminism, Cultural Marxism, or whatever you like.
Interesting theory. Has to be some reason.
shareWell, I formulated this theory a few days ago, before it was known that Lashana Lynch was the new 007. And it seems to have predicted quite well this casting.
When a theory no only explains what happened, but predicts what will happen...
You are right, I forgot how many ugly black women keep cast. That new black lady in "Spanish Princess" is another example. Ugly af.
shareAbout that subject, maybe you want to read a little analysis I did:

When you're a producer and you're blackwashing main characters to prove your virtue, to prove you're inclusive, to prove you're a good believer in diversity, the casting needs to reflect your devotion.
If you have, you'd know they are NOT all white males. Diversity IS ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY A BENEFIT TO SPIES AND INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS
Codename theory is the stupidest fan theory ever created, and it has been proven false time and time again.
And there are a lot of places that James Bond can blend into that this woman cannot, so how do explain that? Obviously there are a diversity of agents working in the same organization who can use their identity to their advantage in different settings, but only James Bond is 007. Nobody else deserves that distinction.
Do you realize that it takes a few years to make a movie? If James Bond is a real person, do you really think he's sitting around doing nothing in the years that we don't see him on screen? You really don't think he's out on other missions doing his job? You're seriously dense if you think every year that passes in real life equals one year in James Bond's life. He's a fictional character who is always within a 35-55ish age range depending on which actor is portraying him. 57 years have not literally passed in James Bond's life since Dr. No came out, you fool.
Britain is moving backwards, not forwards, as evidenced by the existence of people like you who support this.
You said absolutely nothing.
You dont own the Bond property, your whining is meaningless.
I'll support whatever the EFF I want and you can deal with it.
I agree with their choice, all youre doing is crying because FANTASY PERSONA Bond isnt a white man for ONE movie.
Oh No! Those damned dirty ape girls!
Your babble barely deserves this response.
It's better than just sticking with "white male" to prove lack of consideration for reality.
James Bond is based on a series of novels. The character was written as white. White people actually exist. Thus it should be perfectly fine to honor the author’s intent by keeping the character white (not to mention male).
Imagine if Hollywood decided to remake Black Panther ten years from now. Would it be okay to cast an Asian actress? Please explain why or why not. After all, Black Panther is nothing more than a series of stories written by a couple of white guys.
I’m looking forward to reading your reply.
Ian Fleming is long dead. 1964.
Bond is not a human person. Its a persona and the current producers are expanding its potential.
Nay saying potential on mere grounds of race and gender are.... well....
Enough said.
So then it’s a perfectly logical decision to have an Asian actress play Black Panther ten years from now?
shareI think it's perfectly reasonable. However, I predict that there would be uproars and riots from unreasonable people.
shareStory and plot don’t matter much to the younger generation, do they? What seems to matter most is making a political statement. How fun. I couldn’t care less about Black Panther and Marvel films in general, but my eyes would roll to the back of my brain if an Asian woman was cast. It would make zero sense whatsoever. I’m pretty sure you can see that...it’s just a matter of whether or not you’re mature enough to admit it.
shareIt's their property, I couldn't care less if they want to destroy it. I just won't see the movie. Their loss, really.
shareFroggy will disagree with that because he only agrees with racism if it goes the way he wants it to
shareThis is another attack by the elites to destroy white culture to provoke a backlash from white people to further fuel hatred amongst ourselves (divide and conquer is their game). They know that by angering white people over this Black Bond drivel, racist black people/black people who care less of white culture will play the race card and backlash against the whites. This will create even more divisiveness between humans. This is what "they" want. Divide and conquer is the key.
I admit, once I heard the news this morning, I was filled with rage but now I have calmed down. I have realised that this was just another Elitist attempt to anger me and I fell for it. So now, I dont care what they do with Bond, Superman, Batman, or any other white character just to spite the "masters" and not play their game. I aint their puppet.
Embrace this news however you see fit, just dont react to it negatively. This is what "they" want.
I will sit back and wait to see where this world is heading to!
They can cast Bond as a pink garden gnome who identifies as a purple bloated elephant, I couldn't care less now.
She looks like a great choice right off the bat, NICE. Who chose her? Are the Broccoli's still involved in this franchise???
Oh and DUDE, if you want to talk appearance, LASHANA IS EFFING HOT:
https://www.tvovermind.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Lashana-Lynch-640x384.jpg
Mmm-hmm!
Man, you must jerk off to Joy Reid if you think she's hot.
shareJoy Reid looks boring... had to check, only knew the name.
But Lashana is quite attractive, and her look has a lot of variety based on how she does her hair. I'm interested to see the style they go with for the movie. You know she's gonna look like a badass!
I’m quite interested what about her acting career makes you think she’s the best candidate for the role, it seems that you only care that she’s a black woman, sounds like you’re the one with the race issue
shareI don't care about how she looks, but my issue is "why her?" because she's a terrible actress.
shareThe attack on white men continues
share🗹 Not white
🗹 Not male
🗷 It's OK to be white
I wouldn't call her ugly but she's far from beautiful, with a "strong" face. I believe this sort of thing is a backwards compliment,presenting her as an example of what a "beautiful" black woman looks like.
I do find the SWS freakout about her casting in the next Bond film to be hilarious. As dunmb as it still is the character isn't even supposed to be James Bond or "Jane Bond" so all whining about this make believe black equivalent of historical whitewashing in cinema makes no sense. The character hasn't been changed This apparent 007 codename debacle will be a brief, one off stunt then business will continue as usual.
