@Getafix there is one difference they took the license away but never delve into mentioning someone taking it or what would happen to keep things "neutral" so they wouldn't have a marketing nightmare and be able to keep the story as is.
@Denbigh good because on my end you don't make any sense either and I'm not alone. 😊
Personally I am fine with the gimmick. Especially if she fails as a 00. It belongs to Bond.
But I think there are larger things at play here. It seems like there's a huge crowd screaming for the next Bond to be other than a white heterosexual male. So this is a way to test how it will pan out if they toy with the idea of having a black woman take center stage for a chunk of B25.
@Zekidk bingo you hit the nail on the head. That's why it's a pointless gimmick that they should just avoid. +1
The second black Bond girl with Jamaican descent to fail as an agent. It's a great look. It worked the first time but doing it again just seems like you're asking for it.
I guess not
What I don't want is for Bond to be a supporting character. It's called a Bond movie.
Good point.
I don't know if it's been discussed here but is it possible Nomi dies on a mission and this is why Bond is brought back?
Watch me.
Disney thought that about Star Wars fans, on their way to a box office bomb in Solo and lower than expected attendance at their multi-billion dollar boondoggle theme park upgrades.
Frankly, I think Eon is just one more company in need of a rude awakening. Treating your fans like paypigs who will buy anything you make is a good way to go broke.
Fair enough. Is Bond going to be 007 again at the end of the film?
Yep, Babs has said she's never going to make Bond a woman, so I think this is just going to be a one film thing given the special plot circumstances of Craig's last film and we'll be starting with a new guy next time.
That's why you've gotta go see the movie. It's Craig's last one, so IDK if he's going to go back into retirement, return as 007, or even die.
My money’s on Bond is back as 007 at the end of the movie.
Exactly. EON sometimes need a course correction. Something which forces them to re-evaluate and remember what made the series great to begin with, because them seem on a tangent right now.
With a slate of non-bond flops, Craig will sign up for just one more...i think he'll go when the 'holy grail' director is signed up for his 'last movie', yes we are talking Chris Nolan, it's going to happen.
Let's wait B25 box-office numbers.
For now, EoN last two Bond movies made such great numbers the franchise had never seen since Golfinger and Thunderball. Those are facts.
Regarding 25, they just found a potentially thrilling way - perfectly in line with the end of the previous movie - to put the hero of the story, JAMES BOND, in a situation he never had the chance to face in 50+ years of stories. That alone should be exciting.
Five movies in 14 years time... In the Connery days we got five movies in 5 years time.
How are we being treated as paypigs again?
Predictably after the recent news though. Check out James Bond Reddit - it’s 100 times worse over there.
I have no problem with quality content. The thinking of “we can do whatever we want, not care about pleasing our fanbase, and they’ll turn up anyway” is what I’m against.
