What would be wrong with a black Bond?
The only real requirement is being a British dude.
Don’t cancel the franchise, but kill Bond off and then follow Idris Elba, as a new character, with his own traits and characteristics he can develop. What would be wrong with that?

I guess I don’t really see the point. It may not matter to you, but he was created as white and has been for 50+ years.
Plus it’s not like Bond films are totally unique at this point (Mission impossible, Bourne). Just make a new black spy character.
So this is just about your feelings?
While your honesty is appreciated, this is really kind of a perplexing point of view. What makes it difficult to picture? Is there a subconscious insecurity about a black guy taking over a character who typically beds several white women in a film?
Fundamentally, there's no reason to be any more distracted by Elba's race than by Craig's hair color, or by the fact that Roger Moore has a different nose than Sean Connery. Each Bond has been different from the ones preceding him, why should a difference of skin color be difficult for you to picture unless you feel there are traits inherent to black men that disqualify them from playing such a role?
Sure pal, that’s what I said.
The nose difference really bothered me actually
Yes, it is exactly what you said.
I'll tell ya what I did; i fought back! I'll tell ya how and maybe you could learn how to do it too.
So I was excited i heard dere was gonna be a new Ghostbusters. Oh I loved that one when I was a child. Bill murray, akroyd, the nerd from Stripes, and there was a black guy too but he stayed in the background not like the ones nowadays trying to be president now and lecturing me on tv. So the new one I see they not only got rid of the original cast but they replaced am not with white guys but with women! pluS there was a black chick and she was all uppity and in from of the scenes and stuff!
Well so I got em though. I got em good. I went to the Google and I entered in Ghostbusters 2016 but here's what I did i also entered in imdb. Then I went to the bottom of the imdb.com page and entered in the discussions! I told em good in those discussions it was a battle but you gotta get in the frontlines you wanna win this culture war! You may think this is dirty poker but I also have it a one star before I even saw it! We have to sink to their level to win
They thought they was gonna take my Ghostbusters away from me! I said no, not on my watch! Us poor white people Ghostbusters is one of the few things we got left and it took some work but we saved it
I don't care who they cast as the new James Bond. I'm pretty sure I'll like it. I love Daniel Craig in the role though.
Half the brownshirts whining in here don't even watch the movies. The mere idea of Blackbond is killing them.
He is ours and you'll never take that away from us
hollywood has been whitewashing films/shows forever and Spurstalk is triggered over a black james bond.
why would they spend the money and take the risk of developing a brand new black spy when they can just plug in to the Bond franchise? I don’t really give a what their motives for casting him are. He’s a great actor and it will probably outdo the most recent Bond movie.
I’ve skipped a lot of them even though they were probably good. But it’s very likely I’ll check this one out with the new face. I imagine a lot of others will as well.
The bottom line is who can they cast that they believe will bring in the most viewers.
Triggered? It’s like a handful of posters. And it’s more likely that the ones triggered will post as opposed to the large majority who are fine with it.
Yep, and you still send them your money.
lol
I think his casting as Roland in The Dark Tower was worse, but I still saw it. I don't see what the big deal is.
i don't watch those films. I did see the black klansmen this weekend tho.
you dont understand! idris elba is... black!
So will you.
Right...but not ghetto black. So I think everyone should be more open minded.
Now if they went with Jamie Foxx...well...that’s a different story.
Srs question:
How would black people have reacted if Black Panther was played by a white dude?
You never ever watch any movies?
