scarletspeed7 08/12/17 12:49:29 PM #5:	I have very strong feelings about James Bond; I think the character's misogyny is a defining trait of the character, and it lacks the impact if Bond is a woman. It's a great weakness to a character that has no other real weaknesses. It's totally different from, say, making the Flash a woman. Does it affect the definition of the character? No. The Flash is defined almost exclusively by super-speed. Similarly, Bond is defined by his antiquated behavior, and it as such it requires a man to play the character. I would argue similarly about Wonder Woman and what her character represents. Some characters have to fulfill certain gender and/or race roles to make sense. And if you want a female Bond, please get someone who can actually pull off the role - not Delevigne. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer <cite>scarletspeed7 posted [p:884645559] in Would you ...

I haven't seen any Craig movies and already acknowledged I've heard they put a pretty hard kibosh on it (something about the parents' grave), but Lazenby could've been acknowledging his predecessor's stuff and the shared name thing could've been a coincidence. "No way to make the theory work" my ass. =P You should see some of the magnificent contortions Star Wars writers pulled to make things fit together in the pre-Disney EU. Then how do both Connery and Lazenby Bond consider Blofeld to be their archnemesis? I remember Lazenby Bond is like "I have a history with Blofeld" that can only be explained by him being Connery Bond as well. Nah, doesn't have to mean that. Could easily be plenty of missions between movies that we don't see. --- JonThePenguin http://www.backloggery.com/main.php?user=erunion <cite>JonThePenguin posted [p:884668754] in Would you ...

Uglyface2 08/12/17 8:58:03 PM #37:	scarletspeed7 posted... I have very strong feelings about James Bond; I think the character's misogyny is a defining trait of the character, and it lacks the impact if Bond is a woman. It's a great weakness to a character that has no other real weaknesses. It's not misogyny, it's womanizing. Misogyny is antipathy towards women, and Bond generally wants to screw women more than anything else. <cite>Uglyface2 posted [p:884670922] in Would you ...

MenuWars 08/12/17 9:31:06 PM #39:	Wanglicious posted... isn't that basically Atomic Blonde? James Bond as a franchise should keep the male lead, his masculinity is a part of the character. if you want a female super spy movie, just make it and establish a franchise around that the same way Bourne managed to establish its niche in that genre. This I'm all for a female James Bond, but not an ACTUAL female James Bond if that makes sense. If you want to make a series about a bad ass female spy. Go for it.

HA! I agree with Wang completely. This is hilarious :P I agree that his masculinity/misogyny/womanizing are part of the character, but those are also becoming less and less appealing traits it seems. Bond will therefore have to change with the times (which has already happened, Craig is notably different to Connery in how he handles women I think. Or the movies themselves are) to remain commercially successful, and the less traditionally masculine he becomes the more it won't matter what gender the character is. But I don't think that time is right now. --- Such a lust for revenge <cite>XIII_rocks posted [p:884673363] in Would you ...
