Mike on a bike Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 So forget your new James Bond Omega unless your going w/ a ladies watch............... I am a pretty open minded guy but this is just wrong and I like women in some strong roles Marvel been doing well there, but this move nope nope wrong............

508-Fanatic Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 It's definitely odd. From what I understood in the novels the 007 is a status, a descriptor / level of clearance or whatever, or maybe that's just the 00 part? It was a long time ago I read Fleming's work... but regardless yes - I agree rather odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I am not a misogynist or sexist and I respect women in general, but some roles are gender specific IMHO. 007 should always be a man in line with his creator's intentions, and wonder-woman should always remain a woman. I am open to characters like Captain Marvel being either gender. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole freak out about an African-American mermaid was a bit much, considering the source material/lore and that it existed pre-Disney... but this is different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted July 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Yes, Legend, 508, OK W/ the Captain Marvel turn not a problem but this is just not right on so many levels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we have been conditioned to see 007 = James Bond. Well, what you said make perfect sense, 007 can be a woman and James Bond can co-exist in the same movie. No conflict there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree!! Couldn't have put it better myself! Imagine now Doctor Who character is going to be replaced by a woman and what next? Mary Poppins portrayed as a male commando soldier! LOL! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega467 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Welcome to the SJW era. Where the liberal Hollywood wants to replace every strong male role with a female feminist and when the movie flops they blame it on all the white patriarchal men. Go figure! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydenM Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 If this goes on for more than a movie I'm out. As much as I liked 2 of Daniel Craig's performances I have no idea why he's back given his past disparaging comments about the role. If they continue with this pathway then the series will die. They already have ruined Blofeld sadly so it seems it may be another beloved series destroyed by ham-fisted political writing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernow Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 It will go full circle when Jane Bond is a black lesbian womaniser. Women’s Lib is emasculating society to the point that there will be no ‘real’ men left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlfloyd Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 “Atomic Blond” was on a similar track but with a female Bond type. Why couldn’t that have been continued with its own following. No, they had to venture into unwelcome territory. This will be a box office flop. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a little point to note G, the lady will be replacing Craig for the 007 role, but not the James Bond character. So 007 and James Bond can technically co-exist in the same movie if Bond is no longer 007. Yes it is still strange since 007 has become synonymous with James Bond. That said, I am looking forward to Marvel's Black Widow being played by an teenage Indian/Asian/Eurasian/Japanese boy. Makes equal sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's back for one reason......... $$$$$$$$$$ He's a great actor but the role of Bond will get him a much bigger paycheck than any other movie he may be offered to star in. In then end, that's what its all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Ian Flemming is rolling over in his grave. The Bond books were practically "Pulp Fiction" not material meant for PC Culture. Even though 00's have been reassigned: https://jamesbond.fandom.com/wiki/00_agents Give her another number. 007 is synonymous with Bond. Why not develop an awesome female spy character like "Atomic Blonde" and just end Bond/007 in this 25th installment. A Series Finale. We have John Wick now, and the last 2 Mission Impossible movies have been superior anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just do what Bond did for decades, have Bond show up in the next movie with a new actor and don't mention a thing.
