What "white male role" is being "stolen" here? The character is a replacement 007, and Daniel Craig (last I knew, still a white male, unless he underwent that pigment surgery Robert Downey Jr's character did in Tropic Thunder) is still James Bond, now retired from MI6, as shown clearly at the end of SPECTRE.
So, tell me, did you read anything about this or are you just stirring the pot for your own amusement?
Couldn't have put it better myself 👌
It would have bothered me & many people if they just pass on the torch to someone like Henry Cavill or anyone on that Matter. When bond26 is in production I don't want to be reminded of previous bond's especially DC's bond. They need to start fresh all this passing on the in his code name or code number is just lazy writing & SJW influence imo nothing else.
But it's great marketing. We should at least all be happy for that.
YouTube is where all of the weirdos live, yes.
Which dimension do you live in where you even consider this to be a possibility? :D
So, only black women are allowed to doubt or criticize the decision? For many it has nothing to do with race or gender. What if it was another white male instead of a black woman? Would you be fine with the criticism then?
Same, either it's black/white or any race/ gender I am not okay with it. But I still think that it's just tabloid bs hardly any truth behind it.
The logic of that escapes me completely! :)
So the issue isn't that Bond is no longer 007, that's absolutely fine? The problem is that his desk gets taken by someone else because that's somehow impossible or awful? Nothing at all to do with 'SJWs' and 'political correctness' etc., which for some reason folk keep mentioning as if it's related to this in some way?
There also wouldn't be a joke!
You know the 'woke' bit is to do with her gender and race? So that rather proves the point that for many that's the main issue; not that Bond isn't 007 any more in this movie.
What is it that you guys are imagining when you say 'the decision to replace James Bond'? That Nomi is the star of this new film? That it'll be the 'Nomi 007' series from here on?
And @Mendes4Lyfe, the film would've got heavy attention for those "campaigners" anyway. At least this way there's chance these people will see this film and the James Bond franchise will be introduced to new audiences. Some probably will boycot the film...
...but thinking about it, whose better off? The people who are going to give the benefit of the doubt and try to enjoy the film for what it is, and make realistic reviews when we've seen the film and the characters in context, or the people who are going to judge the film before they see it or don't see it at all and miss out on what could be the best Bond film?
What if Henry Cavill or Aidan Turner were playing the replacement 007 in B25? Would your reaction to that casting be the same?
The only scenario I find reasonable yet interesting in which she can die is sacrificing herself by the end of the movie, saving/letting Bond finish the mission. Something in the style of May Day's demise.
She won't suffer a Severine treatment. You don't cast a new female 007 just to make her presence in the movie almost pointless.
Absolutely not.
So the problem is her race/gender? I'm getting confused here! :)
Maybe we need a separate thread for the bigots? :D
Yeah that's cool. I think it's either that or she's a baddie.
But Aidan Turner is Irish.
Yep. We'll see.
Regarding de Armas, sounds like she's actually the kidnapped scientist. So it's highly likely she won't be the super sexy Bond girl almost everyone thought she would play.
The problem here is (if the rumors are true) they are bending to the SJW's agenda just to get more audience to attract to Cinema. Her race/gender has nothing to do with it.
Even if there would have been a female 007 at lead for bond26 I would be okay with it even respect that , I won't like or watch it but I won't bash it either because she would be building herself from the ground brick by brick just like Daniel or any other bond's did they didn't just use bond's name to attract the audience.
We may need a separate thread for ignorants as well?
EoN always followed trends to attract more people to the cinemas, especially since LALD.
If her race/gender have nothing to do with it, why are you saying these so-called 'SJW's would be interested in it?
Are you okay with Batman or Spider-Man being anyone else other than Bruce Wayne or Peter Parker?
Are you saying you think they're trying to launch a new series and replace Bond as the lead? I genuinely can't understand what you're trying to say.
Really?
By this logic, would you be angry if you resigned from your job today, and your boss recruited a black woman into your old role?
Personally, I think Lashana is probably feeling a lot of pressure today. I really hope she smashes it and puts the doubters out of her mind. She's only midway through filming and the negativity shouldn't throw her off. Mainly as it's countenanced by a huge amount of support.
Despite @jamesbondlive posting a very negative tweet about this - I've seen A LOT of love on Twitter and social media.
If I had an opinion on how this plays out it would be the following:
This leads the way towards either a Nomi spin-off (very unlikely and hugely dependent on how Lynch is received) and the inevitable reboot from someone like Christopher Nolan or Edgar Wright with a new cast/new Bond.
