Lol, this bitch deleted my posts. Lol this bitch defeated by copy/paste. how can you talk about civic duty and then trample on somebody’s 1st amendment rights like that?

out of your mouth and give it back thanks.

Stringer Bell would be a great as a James Bond type character in a James Bond movie.

I’m not really sure what the actual history of the franchise is like though, it’s supposed to actually be the same dude throughout all the stories/movies and not like a rotating cast of different guys that all share the 007 title?

If it’s the former and it’s supposed to be the same guy, then it makes no sense to suddenly change to a black guy when you’ve had like 60 years of him noted specifically as a white dude. Actors changing age and different types of whiteness between movies is obviously not the same as changing from white to black. What the fuck is this, Cloud Atlas? Get the fuck outta here.

If it’s the latter and it’s just a bunch of guys through history that share the same title, then there’s really no reason it couldn’t be done for racial reasons.

Right, so a guy who is half-Indian is the same to you as a guy who is technically supposed to be half-Chinese (and has been depicted over the last 50 years as super chinky).

That’s exactly what I’m saying. To white people, all non-white and non-black people are the same, so this is completely expected.

Yeah, because I’m getting hung up on Ben Kingsley’s and the Mandarin’s British NATIONALITY and not their ethnicity, yeah that’s what I’m concerned about.

I just think back to Nick Fury when debates like this come up. Ben Perkins is fine for Mandarin.

:shy:

I dont believe there is an official stance in the films. But one could argue that Connery-Brosnan timeframe was the same character and the Craig era
is a reboot/whatever of the character.

My reasoning for this is the Tracy Bond , short lived wife of Bond is referenced briefly in many of the films. Courtesy of wiki…

Bond’s eyes briefly glaze over and he then quickly changes the subject; Anya comments upon Bond’s unexpected sensitivity regarding his marriage.

]In For Your Eyes Only, in the pre-titles sequence, Bond lays flowers at Tracy’s grave (in an English churchyard) before boarding a helicopter which Blofeld has booby-trapped. It is in this sequence that Bond ultimately avenges his wife’s murder, by lifting an uncredited Blofeld’s wheelchair with one of the helicopter’s skids and eventually dropping him (wheelchair and all) down a tall industrial chimney. The headstone clearly reads: “TERESA BOND, 1943–1969, Beloved Wife of JAMES BOND, We have all the time in the World” – referring to the final words in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service and the Louis Armstrong song.
[*]In Licence to Kill, after Felix Leiter’s wedding, Felix’s new wife Della throws her garter at Bond, teasing him, “the one who catches this is the next one to…” Bond looks visibly pained; when Della asks Felix about it, Felix makes a short, sad reference to Bond once having been married, "but that was a long time ago
[/LIST]
In The World Is Not Enough, when Bond meets Elektra King at the construction site for the King Pipeline, she asks Bond “Tell me…Have you ever lost a loved one, Mr. Bond?”, making a brief reference to the fact that she just lost her father (who was killed in the bomb’s explosion at MI-6 headquarters). Bond again appears visibly pained, and changes the subject quickly.

I approve of Black Fury, Black Heimdal, Black Kingpin, Black Spiderman, Black James Bond, British Mandarin, and whatever else you guys are going to bitch about. I don’t look at these characters by their skin color, nationality, or ethnicity. Fuck segregation I want to play T’Challa when I get my acting career started.

Ultimate Fury is kinda dumb. They just put Sam Jackson in a comic book for shits and giggles. 616 Black Fury is the shit though. They gave him a legit reason to be black. We all knew in our hearts that Nick Fury loved black women, they just confirmed that shit for us.

Of course it’s not.:coffee:

Ultimate (“black”) Nick Fury and Spider-Man are new characters entirely that are separate and distinct, in many ways, from their “white counterparts.”

Heimdal and Kingpin (or at least the version they used in the movie) were bit characters that aren’t strongly defined anyway. They could have been originally black or ethnic characters that were played by white actors without anyone caring, there was really nothing special about these characters in an ethnic or national context. Even gender - what Heimdal fans out there would have complained about the character being changed to a chick in the movie instead?

But I’d question how accurate it would be for someone to say there’s no special ethnic or national context related to characters respectively like the MANDARIN and JAMES BOND.

The nigga’s name is the Mandarin. If he ain’t played by either an asian dude or an orange it is just fucked up.

Can’t believe this bitch unfriended me because I called her out.; I need some better cousins.:rofl:

Should make Thanksgiving a blast.

Mandarin should have been Asian sure, their reasoning was trying to avoid being racist…when it just made them out to be racist. But there is nothing we can do about it, move on and forget.

Now if Dick Grayson is cast as some odd ethnicity then I’ll probably get all bent out of shape.

You need better hobbies.

Insert Black Lightning joke…

No, I am saying it doesn’t matter.

lol what? Bit of a stretch there.

non white people, trying to keep my noble white people down

Its not even a hobby. I keep around because it is the easiest way to let people know what’s going on with my wife. Its no different than SRK, it just so happens that I’ve met all of the people in real life. She can stay mad at being saying some incredibly insulting shit and getting called out for it.

Also, where the fuck have you been? Haven’t seen on dat AIM in a while.

i am okay with both

Yeah, I am saying it does matter.

If you’re going to name a dude the Mandarin, then I would like him to be played by a Chinese dude and not an Indian dude. I think that matters.

I wouldn’t want you to play me in SRK General Discussion: The Movie just because we are both Canadian. Being Canadian is only part of my character, there are other important parts.

Unfortunately Hollywood only has Jackie Chan or John Cho as the go-to guys for all Asian dude parts, so my selection of possible actors will not be great.

So the only difference growing up in the world as a black guy or a white guy is the colour of your skin?

No other social or economic or behaviour or cultural factor that would affect what type of person you’d be? How’d you talk, what your life history would be, how you’d react, how you’d live as James Bond?

I don’t know specifically what those differences would be, but I would think it wouldn’t be as simple as a palette swap.

No, gingers ruin everything :coffee:
