re: James Bond Author Says Idris Elba is 'Too Street' to Play James Bond

Though reluctant for a black Bond, I know it will happen sooner or later. Knowing that, I hope for the best black actor for the role, which is Idris Elba.
For the love of all things holy, no gay James Bond.

I seriously doubt it. The brits are far more racist than people give them credit for and Bond is a national treasure. If he's black, there will be riots.

Is he really though? Not saying he is bad or anything but I feel like Elba is just this board's new version of Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Transgender James Bond
Can change himself from a male to female secret agent at anytime!

How come nobody had an issue with Sulu changing to a Korean?

Then, you have to at least retcon some things to have a character thats been white for 50 years now be black. Whether you admit it or not, thats something you're going to have to acknowledge.
Not really. You address it the same way you address that Bond looks like this:
In other words, you completely ignore that you have cast a new actor, and trust in the fact that everyone knows the character.
The same way they always have.

Thanks for the honest intelligent response.
I'm not overly emotional about this one way or another. I just think Elba is as "Bond Like" as anyone they have ever cast. It's the character and his traits that matter to me more than his looks.

b/c a role traditionally played by an Asian is still being played by an Asian?

English, tall, fit, confident, intelligent, can play on edge/dangerous roles, well-known actor.
IMO, he works.

What about Tom Hardy or Jude Law stepping in to play 007.

Michael Fassbender would be probably the most skilled actor to ever play Bond. This needs to happen.

Unless they want Bond to come off like a fop hell no to Jude Law.

This stupid fricking theory that James Bond is just a code name needs to die. The man's actual name is Bond. In the source material, his parents had the last name Bond.
No, James Bond should never be black, and that includes Sean Connery being reincarnated as the greatest Scottish black actor.
Stop with this bullshite nonsense. frick. They already changed the canon to make Felix and Moneypenny black. The frick is this supposed to become, The Wiz?

Can't think he is less bond, him or Cumberbatch.
Fassbender would be good. I think Hardy could be a little too Craig but he'd still be alright.

I am. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired of this damn thread popping up every two months. Some poster gets on here and has the "original" thought that Elba should be Bond or has to start a thread about it because someone said he shouldn't be Bond.

Do you type out a pissy rant in each one?
Posted on 9/1/15 at 2:47 pm to StripedSaint
Nope. Just this one.

All those tards getting upset over a guy in a movie they would never watch anyway.
