Topic	Idris Elba playing James Bond = ok, Scar Jo playing a transgender = bad?
alt_no_1_loves 07/16/18 8:34:40 PM #83:	Southernfatman posted... Le__seul_dieu__ posted... isn't it accepted canon that james bond is just a code name and anyone can be james bond, similar to someone like Robin/spiderman? No. It's a fan theory to explain why the actors change and why Bond doesn't get older. James Bond is the character's real name. 007 is the codename. Even then, James Bond is a fictional character that has changed actors (and personality traits, to some extent) across dozens of appearances. He could be portrayed by Idris Elba. It wouldn't be crazy. But if you want to portray a trans person, and authenticity, acceptance, exposure, it makes a lot of sense to pick an actual trans person for the role. --- sig poll: buzz cola or duff beer 1 - 1 thus far (after like 2 years) <cite>alt_no_1_loves posted [p:905200998] in Idris Elba...
