Too many stupid people here.
She is going to have the retired code 007 until James Bond comes back and reclaims it. That is it, end of discussion.
shareApparently if you don't 100% agree with the decision to have Lyshona Lynch take over the Bond franchise you are racist and sexist.
shareAnd a Nazi. Dont forget it: if you aren't a SJW, then you're racist, sexist, and a Nazi.
shareYes of course I forgot that
shareAnd just for the fact that I’m white i have something I need to apologize for
shareJesus man, quit the victim act!
shareNo one is playing the victim here except for your side. All we are doing is just poking a little bit of fun at crybaby SJW's.
shareOh really? My side? What side is that pray tell?
I'm not part of your inane bipartisan squabbling. My comment is that you are playing the victim saying you have to apologise for being white. You don't. You just have to accept that white straight males are no longer the overlords of the world and other voices can't be ignored any more. I'm a white male, why don't I feel persecuted against? Because I suck it up and realise the world is evolving. It's called being a man. You should try it.
Dude I was joking when I said I would have to apologize for being white, I was making fun of how SJW's care so much about race that it actually matters to them that a movie character changes skin color (I personally don't care, I just want the best actor for the job, making Moneypenny and Leiter black didn't ruin those characters they were actually some of the better actors to play the roles, but casting an actor just because he's black is ridiculous).
This movement to change a movie character's skin color isn't about persecution, no one is saying it is, it's just annoying because it's an assumption that we don't understand that black people are just as valuable as white people are and we do, we've understood this our entire lives. No one ever called for straight males to dominate everything, it's just a matter of a film character staying accurate to the source material.
You want a movie about a badass black female superspy, they should go ahead and create one, knock yourself out, with good writing and good acting I'm sure it'll be successful, just quit acting like making Bond a black woman is somehow a victory to LGBT activists or whatever because it isn't, it's just dumb.
"just quit acting like making Bond a black woman is somehow a victory to LGBT activists or whatever because it isn't" - oh mate, please tell me where I suggested that. What has LGBT got to do with anything here? Isn't the problem that it's a black female, isn't that what's melting all the snowflakes here?
I get your point, you don't want the franchise screwed with, you would prefer to basically watch the same movie repeated for another 50 years, because let's be honest there's not much to distinguish one Bond film from another. But it's fair enough, I understand the hurt fanboys feel when they believe that political correctness destroys something they love.
But for goodness sake, it's a movie! If you don't want to watch a black woman in a Bond film, don't watch it. I guess I just think there are more important things to worry about than who stars in a crusty old film series that's clearly on it's last legs anyway.
- No the problem would be changing the entire series away from the focus character. If they are going to do that why not just make a new series if you have to depart so far from the source material? If you want a film about a badass black female superspy why not just let it stand on its own? Why does it have to latch onto the James Bond Series? And don't give me this nonsense about how it's impossible for a black female to make it in Hollywood because that's a load of malarkey.
- Actually I liked it back in the 80's where they all followed a format, my problem with the Craig films is that it departed from the format too much with things like screwing up the gunbarrel. There's plenty of differences between the films. And if they focus the series on a black female agent just to say they focused on a black female agent that absolutely is political correctness taking over the series (the changes were dictated by the need to be politically correct, NOT what was best for the series)
- Of course I would be upset, I go to a James Bond movie to watch James Bond! I enjoy going to these movies and I don't want it to end.
For the last time they should just make a series about whoever they want to, a black actress can be successful in Hollywood, they don't need to depend on an already well established franchise.
