Female Bond would be good... IF
I don't know why many people seem to be against a female Bond.
The Bond franchise has already gone through so much, nothing would be 'shocking' anymore. The very first Bond-movie was already so silly, multiple parodies have been made of it, and they're funny. Just look at Austin Powers - very funny movies, that couldn't exist without 'wackiness' of the original Bond-movies.
When I think if 'female Bond', I am not thinking about some dull, short-haired, lesbian-looking, ball-busting, man-hating misandric Mary Sue-type matriarch that can do no wrong, and does everything better than male Bonds ever could, and in high heels to boot (no pun intended).
I am thinking of someone like Cynthia Khan, Michelle Yeoh or Moon Lee of the 1980s and early 1990s. Nice face, nice body, actual athletic and Kung Fu-skills, charismatic screen presence, feminine beauty, long hair and can pull off the 'cutesy' scenes if necessary. A female Bond would be able to have a different set of tools than a male one.
She could do the Charlie's Angels (and I mean the old TV show)-style 'using their female viles' stuff that a male bond obviously couldn't pull off. Females have social and sexual power over men, a sexy/pretty woman is men's Akilles' heel, and movies have forgotten how to utilize this fact (in -some- movies, a woman shows man her boobs, and this confuses and distracts the man long enough for the man to be defeated, but so much more could be done, and even THIS particular trope is relatively rare for some reason).
I mean, why fight, if you can get through a difficult situation much easier and without trouble? Only females have this kind of 'multiple-choice' luxury, men have no choice. A man can't just whip out a part of their anatomy and have the enemy temporarily dazed or confused (especially since most movie villains and henchmen are, misandristically, men).
A female Bond would, if used correctly, afford a plethora of new possibilities to all kinds of situations that could easily bring new, fresh air to the stuffy, old, formulaic franchise.
I don't hold my breath waiting for the decisionmakers to realize this, or to throw away the man-hating agenda in favor of a really good and interesting movie, but one can always hope.
