James/Jasmine Bond
« on: July 14, 2019, 03:45:01 PM »
Well, here we go. After Bond 25 (which seems to be heading into "stinker" territory anyway), I'm done. Freakin' SJWs. Make a female secret agent movie if you want. If it's good, I'm down. Gender swapping James Bond is a travesty. I might not even bother with Bond 25.

The insider also claimed that the phrase "Bond girls" is now verboten: The females in the spy franchise are now reportedly ordered to be called "Bond women."

What?  Not something hip and with-it like "Bond wymyn?"

I'm going to wait and see on this one. Article I read said that she is going to be introduced as 007 at the start, as Bond has retired,  and Bond is going to come out of retirement because of whatever crisis is afoot.  So, if accurate, she's not the new Jamie Bond or such, she's a different agent that just inherited the number.

On the last one,  I'm sure they'll be some big LGBWTFBBQ moment when actual Bond makes a pass at her.  It'll be the big reveal.

No franchise is with a straight white male lead is safe anymore.

Things like this are why I think we need copyright reform, limiting copyright duration to the life at the author at the longest (although I think limiting it to something similar as patents would be better in the long run).

If Bond were now in the public domain because the author passed, this would be a non-troversy. If someone didn't like the way one studio handled it, they could do their own movie that they think sticks more closely to the source material, and then the marketplace could render judgement on who had the right idea.

They did that when they picked Roger Moore to play Bond.

I give stuff like that a pass because the series has always had silly way over the top stunts. It's it's meat and potatoes. How about being drug behind a high speed truck on gravel for miles and not being turned into hamburger in the original? It's when they start making radical totally unnecessary changes to the character(s) that I consider it dead.

Taking a wait and see on that one. Hopefully they realized Cap Woke is not the way they should be going.
Although the recent comments I've seen about Spiderman possibly going full on flaming gay has got me wondering. The actor, what's is name, has stated he's all for it.

Also, Captain America's shield has been passed to Sam Wilson.

I haven't seen it yet. But didn't that happen in the comics? Think I read that somewhere.
Besides, passing on of the mantle is the way it should be done, not rewriting the history to fit a narrative like they did with Ghostbusters 2016 where they acted like the guys never existed. I've said for a while that if they had the girls being the guy's daughters and the guys were passing on the mantle to them it would have been received much somewhat better.

Edit: Somewhat better

If they do a passing on of the mantle in the new Bond WITHOUT any woke BS then it won't bother me. If it doesn't work then it would be easy enough to do it again,

I caulk that up to a bad casting choice, happens to the best of them. Besides the studio was hoping he would pull in a younger crowd than that what Ford usually pulls in.
Had he gone Chernobyl level libtard at that point? IIRC he was pretty was keeping his mouth shut at that point or the Hollywood tumor hadn't fully kicked in yet.
