I find the heading in articles like this to be just even dumber then those who don't want the 007 number to be taken by a female.
I think the Bond Purist are worried about where the franchise may go. Will Bond still be Male and the same man we know and love or will it go the way of the Ghostbusters reboot and blame men for its failures
Anyways the heading "A Black Woman is taking over as James Bond, Its about Damn Time" is dumb for a couple of reasons..
1. Its meant to insight and sound "woke" as even the article states she is taking the number and that Bond is still Bond
2. Why is it about Damn time? Who, other then a few "woke minded fools" are asking for a
(put your ethnicity of choice here)
female James Bond?
Like I said in a previous post.. Nobody wants a female Bond. If they did where were they for Atomic Blonde? That was a pretty damn good spy / action fil were the female was very Bond like using her intelligence, fighting skills, and her sex to help her win the day.
Idiots want to get some thrill out of taking over a character that has been historically male. I mean really... Who is asking for a female Bond? I have seen some "journalist" ask for it and an actor or two ask for it.. But "It comes from Hollywood" sums up that point of view.
Really do any of you talk film around the water cooler at work and hear anyone say.. "Its time for a female Bond" ?
Anyways.. I have no issue with someone taking over the 007 License to Kill and as long as the actress is up to the challenge and written well then I have no issue that it is a woman. However if its just a publicity stunt then it will blow up in their face.. But they will blame it on sexism anyways so they are in the clear
