It's fucking ridiculous, if they make a female bond movie I will not see it, as I'm sure a lot of people won't, I'm a James Bond fan, if they don't do James Bond I won't see it, just like if they made Lara Croft a male I wouldn't see it either, cause I don't care
Why can't they just give the fans what they want? Why do they try to pander to a small minority of people?

Yes. Are you being dense on purpose? Changing Bond into a woman brings a fresh new perspective on the character and makes her someone that girls can look up to. Making a PoC character white is stripping them of all of their history and culture.

You are now aware that you live in a world, a terrifying world, where there are people right this moment who use terms such as "canon" and "cinematic universe" when talking about films and television shows.

A terrifying world where imagined characters on a screen are required, according to those who discuss them, to adhere to "ground rules" set out by the creators of said-characters. A terrifying world where those that discuss these characters and their actions, are actually enraged if said-characters deviate from the mannerisms expected of them, the mannerisms that may have initially been set in the pages of a comic book.

Think about that. A comic book. For children. Yes, pictures and words on the same page, which are meant to be read by children, that are actually read by adults who then bicker and express their frustration at film-adaptations of these comic books not being "faithful". Faithful to a comic book. That's supposed to be read by young children.

This is your world. This is the world of capeshit. Terrifying, isn't it?

Ok. I know you're baiting but I'll humor you.

Female Bond would be a powerful female figure with a healthy sexuality.

Hell you could have gone inside an Agatha Christie book and gone with Ms. Marple. She's not as big as Poirot but she's a thing, popular enough for a TV show in her own right.
>>
>>70212702

Essentially the philosophy seems to be that any publicity is good publicity - they make a Jane Bond movie, or a Girlbusters movie, or a movie about Hitler starring Adrien Brody as Adolf which actually, now that I've thought of it, sounds like it could be good for a laugh- whatever it is, the point is that everyone will hear the buzz and pick a side, and then they'll HAVE to see the movie or risk being a hypocrite. The controversy guarantees that large volumes of seats will be sold, and it's a much better guarantee than you'd get from word of mouth that the movie was actually good, or even critical acclaim.

The problem is that that evolves into a philosophy of "if we only ever bake turd cakes, eventually people will confuse the turd with chocolate".

There's no need to produce a high-quality film, because a low-quality film with controversial hype is cheaper to publish, and therefore makes more money when a short burst of gullible rubes buy tickets for opening weekend to satisfy their curiosity.

Since the movie has no chance of lasting more than a fortnight of profitable viewings, it's in the studio's interests to save every possible dime and rely almost entirely on the press that they generate by raping last night's dinner out of some beloved existing IP they bought a decade ago.

They try not to pay any writers or big name stars (a good way to avoid such costs is to poach some ex-SNL "talent" out of their death spiral on the comedy circuit and tell them to improvise for 90 minutes, you may have noticed this trend became prominent soon after the writer's strike), and coast through the movie with a couple of cameras, renting a dolly and maybe a crane for a shot or two.

They insist it's because of movie piracy eating their profits, but ultimately it's a result of the increasingly predatory insurance companies gouging them for every cent they have, while the GFC no doubt crumbled most of the major studios' rainy-day funds into dust.

I'm sorry anon, but the hype train has no brakes. I wish I could agree with you, but history has shown that buzz=bucks, 100% of the time.

Nobody actually does care, not really, but it's a prime water-cooler topic that divides people neatly along age and gender lines - most people are aware of its existence, and that's enough; brand awareness is the first hurdle, and by far the biggest.

It will make money, and Paul Feig will not be sated. He will kill again, mark my words anon.

I don't give a fuck about James Bond and it would be actually kinda cool to see Gillian Anderson in the role for novelty reasons (expanding the Bond universe and having her play 009 or whatever in a spin-off would be the superior choice), but Khaleesi is simply a shitty actress with an inflated ego.

Can't wait for the sexism spin though.
