No Time to Die (October 8, 2021) Official Thread

007 is a position, the 00 line of spys are a select group of elite spies.
All we know this is set in the world of “James Bond”, not that James Bond is the first or only 007.

And we went off the trails of the Iam Flemming books a long time ago, so what Iam Fleeming had intended or not does not matter, just what the current film IP holders want 007 to be.

Lol on the heimdall thing… Their was a website dedicated to hating on him being black

This is obviously SJW feminism pandering. That’s why I find this shit funny. I have no issues with having a woman spy as a main character. But they can certainly make a new franchise and keep James Bond what it is. Some bad-ass macho womanizer spy.

Watch as this movie will make James Bond look like a bitch and have this new woman bond be better than him in every category in terms of skills and whatnot.

Well marvel was smart in retconning everyone as aliens

Yea i mean it gave them some wiggle room.

Except of you looked at the original Stan Lee and Jack Kirby creations, with it’s futuristic appearance to Asgard, it isn’t really a retcon; they just made the position even more clear in the MCU films.

Also they were going with the modern Shakespeare motif for casting. Where Idris Elba could of been almost any character in the Thor Films. They just chose actors that were classically trained to potray the roles and Idris Elba was the perfect choice for Helmdal .

I don’t get where this idea that minorities wanna see all the white characters turned into other races. Unless there’s a great story behind it, its mostly condescending as all fuck.

They wanna see more people like themselves in TV. Changing character races is a copojt because in the end we want our own unique characters and stories. Their are legacy characters like storm and black panther we wanted to see. But in general we just wanna see more faces like ourselves. Things are Goin a bit off the rails now because people are lazy as fuck as writers.

It doesn’t mean much if they change the race but they don’t act or feel like the race they may portray.

In this case…who’s race is getting changed?

c’mon my guy, you can’t say shit like.

Look, I want Puerto Rican characters and good female characters and all that. But I don’t think we need to lose out on the ones we have to achieve that. You also don’t definitely need pandering. All the shitty pandering nonsense ruined the new Ghostbsuters.

Whose race isn’t?

Pretty sure in 5 years SRK will be played by a white guy.

No one said James Bond is being made into a black woman, just that there a black woman 007.
We don’t even know the context of how they are approaching the 007 position.

Maybe Bond retires or gets killed and a new 007 is selected.

Or maybe we are looking at a Jacqueline Bond.

Oh and there is this

The name James is a girl’s name of Hebrew origin meaning “supplanter”.

If miles morales is black and Hispanic and doesn’t actually play like either parts… It’s a waste. It’s just saying they are that for money sake to try and get those audiences but no longevity.

But spidervse played up both sides… He spoke Spanish, he listens to hip hop and does graffiti. It wasn’t just a thing they wrote down in his bio, it was a part of him.

That argument sounds suspiciously like when kids in highschool would deny the nerdy black kid his “black card.”

Spiderverse is forgiven because I love Blackalicious, Blazing Arrow is one of my personal top 10 favorite hip hop albums and Chemical Chalistenics is the fucking bomb.

I agree with all that, but Miles Morales is a brand new character. They didn’t just say “Golly Gee, what if Peter Parker was black”. They just made an entirely different character that got the spider powers.

That’s fine. But to just take a character, make him black and call it a day is weird as fuck. If you can get actor that hits a lot of similarities to the character but just happens to be black, no biggie. That’s why Michael Clarke Duncan worked so well though. He was just built like the brickhouse Kingpin is supposed to be.

Brand new character that’s a minority, fine.

Just switching race for the hell of it? bleh.
