if brits can play american superheroes, then I want an american James Bond and an american Doctor Who

It would only be fair. People complain that James Bond should only be british but apparently no one fucking cares that SUPERMAN isn't an american anymore.

doctor who is shit
>how do we do star trek with such a low budget?? we HAVE to clone this format
>idk man make his spaceship a telephone box and set it on earth

honestly it feels like power Rangers without the action

Superman is an alien with zero personality.

James Bond is an established character who got people to flip their shit when they hired someone as wrong as Daniel Craig to play him. Nobody actually cares about capeshit, but fucking with a formula that's worked for 20 movies is sacrilege.

RDJ already played Sherlock Holmes so it's only a matter of time

The difference is Brits can actually act and come off as Americans. 90% of burgers thought Hugh Laurie was just some random American actor when House started even though he was famous in Britain for decades
Americans trying to act British is just painful

>famous in britain
>as though this means anything to the rest of the world

Brit actors seem better at playing Americans than Americans.

Don't know what you're on about lads, Peter Dinklage does a spot on British accent. "Hellew Ai'm Tyrionn Lennisterrrr."
>>
Its just easier these days for Hollywood to find classically trained British/Australian actors who can do a perfect American accent, act better than most American actors, and do it for less money than most big name American actors would demand

There are still a lot of good American male actors, but they don't dominate the industry like they used to

The British accent already sounds faggy, so Americans don't notice them as out of place in a job that is literally faggy(the dramatics)

He's a dwarf though, when people asked him what was wrong with him back when he probably just told everyone that he's British
>>
>yooooo.
>The name's Bond....James Bond.
>*GRINS*
>>
Didnt anybody tell you its cheaper to hire foreigners?

Also, most Brits learn how to be American because they all want to hop across the pond and get work here, not vice versa

And he was better than that mutant freak mutant freak mutant.
