The next James Bond is black

[Pavlov]

How about Sony Vue blocking the game on NFL network and not having NBC/ABC when it matters? Dumping this after the next cycle.

Rabbit ears ftw.

[monosylab1k]

Yes. Why wasn't Denzel cast over Pierce Brosnan in the 90's? Denzel would be a great Bond.

Yeah sure, he would have been great. How is it different than casting Idris Elba now?

[Chris]

Right, because Bond movies are struggling so badly that they’re forced into doing this. Holy you’re stupid.

I wasn't making the argument that Bond movies were struggling at all. You suck at the strawman thingy. Try to keep up please.

It's not just VUE bro.. Youtube TV too, etc.. It has to do with local restrictions.

Because of today's political climate, vs that of the 90's, 2000's, etc.

Bond movies don’t need to virtue signal to get attention, you stupid got

Sorry, but that’s ing re ed. You’re saying they shouldn’t cast the best man for the job in order to not look like they’re virtue signaling?

Denzel would be a terrible Bond, imo. He's an over the top personality. 007 is too stoic.

Your argument is no better. Who are you to say who the best candidate is? Agree to disagree I won't keep going back and forth over it. It's not that serious to me, just my opinion. Full disclosure I've only ever watched half of Goldeneye, strictly because of the video game.

.. I'm picturing the Training Day character basically implanted into the 007 universe

lol triggered

[DJR210]

Let's all agree on this.. at least it wasn't The Rock.

[Reck]

It's a good fit. He fits the James Bond mold almost perfectly.

Luther probably had a lot to do with getting him the role. Bonds and Luther aren't entirely all that different.

[monosylab1k]

just make movies with nothing but white guys, or else you’re just virtue signaling

[monosylab1k]

Make Black Panther a white guy or else you’re just virtue signaling

And I haven't seen a ton of American actors able to pull off being British though some are out there; I am constantly impressed by the British actors playing Americans.

[Spurtacular]

Thinking I'm some Chris or Spurtacular type conservative that would get mad at something like this.

So, this is a liberal/conservative issue? I ain't a big enough James Bond fan to give that much of a care. But I think going from white to black is bad for continuity. If you want to be a pansy and not be "mad" then go ahead, bruh.

[Blake]

Yes Elba getting the part triggered the snowflake in you

[DJR210]

Rose Byrne is a great example of this

"continuity"

We're supposed to believe the same dude has been running around blowing up for 56 years?

Denzel isn't English like Elba is.

[DJR210]

Denzel isn't English like Elba is.

Had no idea he was Brit tbh.. like I said, great actor

[Pavlov]

Rose Byrne is a great example of this

I didn't even recognize Dan Stevens in Legion as the guy who played the pudgy fop in Downton Abbey.

[Reck]

Yeah wtf I thought she was American for the longest time.

Hiding aussie accents has got to be a . They're like the rednecks of the US in terms of accents and deciphering what the they're saying.

Gotta make Bond a white American from Nebraska, otherwise it’s virtue signaling

[DJR210]

Had to Google him.. not familiar with either show or any of his films
