He's right, though. Elba looks fucking weird without a beard, and a bearded Bond wouldn't work. He's just a bit too rough, too lower-class Landan to make it really work.

If you want a black Bond, Chiwetel Ejiofor is easily the best option.

a hot headed humorous gangster like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas. he won't be able to do it - because he is too big and he has a deep voice.

That's idiotic, not only is Roland explicitly described in the books as looking reminiscent of Clint Eastwood, he's shown numerous times in official art from the hard back illustrations in The Wastelands and The Dark Tower.

Not to mention Gilead is nothing but future-past Camelot.

It's not even so much black casting in a role that historically wouldn't make sense, it's casting a black guy directly in contradiction to his written and illustrated description, with the only reasonable purpose being "diversity". Despite the fact there was already a disabled black woman as a main character from the novels

Well considering past roles he should never have ben offered heimdall. Heimdall was probably the only person other than thor who shouldnt be played by a black actor

I have no problem with Elba, but casting him in that role didn't make the slightest bit of damn sense.

No. He's never been written as white. He has, however, always been portrayed as white. There's a big difference.

Not even bait my nu-male friend. The only movie he tried to act differently in was his worst work, that Netflix movie (poor man's Last King of Scotland). In everything else his just that sleepy guy

>he thinks this is bait

Have you never seen him act? He plays the exact same character in every single role that he does.
