Aaron Taylor-Johnson might be the next James BOnd

Nothing gets incels more worked up than casting decisions for remakes of they watched in the prime of their lives (childhood).

Passing down traditions to your children is quite masculine.

There are currently 26 Bond films to pass down if you're upset about current casting.

I'm old enough to remember when you guys flipped out over a blond Bond too.

I'm certain Bollywood for example, have their version of James Bond. You can get your fill. Report back how it is.

Same fantasy that portrays Geesus as a tall, blond, blue eyed European (who was a Christian and not a jew).

[lefty]

Would people lose it if Black Panther was played by a white dude tbh?

This is you projecting your obsession with James Bond's skin color on me. I'm the one who doesn't care.

muh tradition

Lol imagine if they get a middle eastern actor to play Jesus in the next big movie

Sure. Why are you losing your about the thought of a black Bond?

Mr.Bond doesn't wear Jordan's

You never miss a chance to be racist.

Nah, there are no middle eastern actors available so Hollywood will get Matt Damon (or even Henry Cavil) to play the role.

I don't care personally

I'm just saying the black community will go full Stephen A. Smith if they cast a white actor

Well here’s the thing about all this. Create your own stories and franchises if you want to score DEI points. Whiteknighting for gender/race-swapping is a tacit admission that you know these people can’t write their own stories and have to rely on name recognition of the original IP.

You don’t have to like that fact, but the box office doesn’t lie. These films and shows are bombing left and right. It’s been a glorious run of futility. People don’t want girlbosses, hoodrat mermaids, nappy-headed elves, etc. And this is from somebody who doesn’t even watch Marvel or Disney . The numbers don’t lie. I’m sorry overt social justice messaging doesn’t sell

Of course you do. You're here casting counterfantasies.

I guess -- The Little Mermaid did make over half a billion so they're probably not crying over that one.

You posted your Black Panther counterfantasy.

Why stop there? Why not cast a white guy for the lead role in a remake of Roots?

Black Panther is one of the most successful films of all time and that's all social justice. There's definitely some pandering and lack of imagination with some of the reboots but honestly, a lot of that is driven by the social media outrage that happens when they make a diverse casting decision. Disney could not have bought the amount of impressions and social chatter it got from angry incels just by casting a black Ariel. It was the sixth most successful film of the year. But I guess it's possible they'd have been better off just casting Hermione again.
