Bond’s skin doesn’t really seem important, outside of him just not really being portrayed that way.
I don’t mind racial changes for comic character if there is a good reason. Replacing 616 White Fury with his long lost black son with the same name and look as Ultimates Fury was stupid. Ultimates Fury in his own right though, was a good direction.
Blade I think is defined by his race. Cloak and Deathlok yeah you could get away with. Cloak is practically a white emo kid anyways.
So he’s already played an Asian?
(Obnoxious anime-style emoticon)
Bonds skin color is important because it’s not black and FUCK YOU Rock B.
He could be a terrorist nicknamed the Mandarin. This isn’t the Marvel comics universe. You know the terrorist The Jackal wasn’t actually a Jackal, right?
yet again, I point out that this is a multimillion dollar movie/investment, and if they wanna go with an oscar winning actor, over a B-list asian actor, I fail to see how its that big of a deal.
and James Bond/007 is a placeholder. The agent that gets that assigned codename has to fit certain parameters. They probably have a black designate, code named 00 Colt 45
Gingers only play bullies in coming of age films and victims in a Horror flick.
While I’m black, when I think James Bond, I think a white dude who shoots first, wears a fresh suit, drives nice cars and bangs chicks that may pass for models. If they drop a black agent, I’d like to see another 00. Damn, who is 00 anyway?
A white Blade fighting against ginger vampires.
Would watch.
speaking of casting black guys in white roles:
Spider-Man 2 spoiler
Jamie Foxx as Electro
I don’t even…at this point Hollywood is trollin.
He has a redbear, so at least is a daywalker, which is the worst, since is not fully ginger, not normal 
Fuck that shit, Blade is a Wesley Snipe Danphir
00 is the code for their license to kill iirc

What the fuck? Japan, s’really good?
I suppose so, I really like him as is though. Something about it I guess.
No white man could play Luke Cage though. I still want a film adaption on when Dr. Doom tricks him and he goes on a rampage through Latveria for $200.
The problem with casting James Bond as a black guy, to me, is that James Bond is inherently British. Like James Bond = British, that’s the biggest element of the character to me, as someone that is not British. He is defined by his Britishness. Being a pompous British asshole, that is James Bond.
When I think British, I don’t think of black people. I think of pompous British jerks like Hugh Grant and etc. White people.
Fuck, even when I think of Idris Elba I don’t think British. I think inner city Baltimore.
And we all know there’s no British black people. So until black people become synonymous with being British, then a black James Bond is just going to be weird to me.
Curt Schilling is being sued over the 38 Studios incident: http://www.gamespot.com/news/rhode-island-sues-curt-schilling-over-38-studios-6399323
I’m hoping the state doesn’t get away with this.
QUE?! did i just get called white?! seriously? I dont know if i should take that as a compliment or be offended. Im hella conflicted…
Oh yeah that was vs what’s his name Chrisis or something. I didn’t even know I was going to be on the stage until they were like “you guys match is gonna be on the screen!” I was like :eek:
I don’t even play fighting games like that anymore–I just wanted to show up at Evo to see what’s good about it.
Edit - MAN THESE CHEAP ASS SERVERS DELAYS ARE BULLS@#$@#
I’d actually love to see Idris Elba as a “Mirror Match” style Bond villain. It would be awesome if he had the same training and skills as Bond but decided that MI6 just wasn’t for him. I know it’s not very original, but the hand-to-hand combat scenes alone could easily give Batman vs. Bane a run for it’s money.
You did GD proud.
