Alex 2,838 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Looks like Lashana Lynch will be an agent with the code 007, not the new “James Bond” as angry men on twitter will tell you. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/bond-25-female-james-bond-lashana-lynch-woman-trailer-release-date-a9004271.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,698 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 There has already been a female 00. If Bond is retired, it's entirely possible that the number 007 could pass to a woman. BTW, how many times has bond been killed/retired/resigned? YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE - "killed" ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE - resigns, and retires LICENCE TO KILL - enforced resignation DIE ANOTHER DAY - left for dead CASINO ROYALE - resigned SKYFALL - missing, presumed dead SPECTRE - resigned It's all getting a bit old.

SteveMc 2,674 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 The character of 007/James Bond was a distinct product of the mid 20th century. They should just end the series. Maybe that is what they are doing. The Illustrious Jerry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkgyver 1,646 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 As if the concept of a "female Bond" was anything new. Anya Amasova, the agent in Licence To Kill whose name I can't remember, Wai Lin, Jynx, etc. But 20th century feminazism has killed other fun things, so why not James Bond? After it inevitably fails, and sexism is properly blamed, maybe we can reboot James Bond, too. Maybe with proper composers again.

She’s not replacing James Bond, she has simply taken the 007 number as he has “retired”. She’s just a female agent, they do exist you know.

Bond retiring and that girl taking his number is just such a good metaphor for feminazism, though. Moderate feminism used to be about both genders coexisting equally, whereas modern feminazism is all about "we are taking this over now because you are bad, we are better, and you won't get it back". That's also the difference between said female agents in previous films, and that crap above. Chen G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 2,838 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Part of me hopes the film will ends with Craig’s Bond dying, and then Lashana Lynch and M are sitting in an office at the end when he turns to her and says, I have a new mission for you Miss. Bond *roll credits* Just imagine the carnage if they did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeping Strings 2,398 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 How come '007' wasn't reallocated in Skyfall, when they thought he was dead? They cleared out and sold his flat, after all ... Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUlyssesian 2,478 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 This is again the pits of race-baiting pandering bs. It's an empty switcheroo because a black woman is 007 for all of 5 minutes before James Bond comes along and takes over the mantel again. They do not get credit for this. If they truly have balls, they will make the black woman the 007 for the entire film and focus the film around her. It's the same deal as Marvel giving Cap's shield to a black man at the end of the Avengers. They do not get credit for this. I will buy it only when they make a major big budget motion picture with mackie as Cap. A TV show doesn't quite cut it. The degree to which the public falls for such cheap ploys is nauseating.
