Well, James Bond retired. So that part seems complete.


Yeah, retired so they could shoehorn this chick in.

But they were both done for the sole reason of sjw virtue signaling. So in that way, which is the only way the writers see as important, they are they exact same.

007, not James Bond you idiots.


No shite Sherlock but it has ALWAYS been associated with the character JB who is a male. A female 007 is far removed from the original character in the Ian Fleming books.

They're both fictional characters that are not tied to a race or gender and can be recreated in any way. You think the little mermaid changing is ridiculous because you don't particularly care about that character but you're not happy about 007 because you do care. Just admit you only care when it comes to something that you like. It's not tough.


They finally came for something you were attached to and now you're "acting like the snowflake" you previously ridiculed.

Or because the Ariel chick is super talented.

Maybe you're right, but this one is waaaaaaayyy more obvious and honestly ridiculous.

They are. Mermaids are female. James bond is a dude.

Huh? I don't give a shite. I'm laughing at this.

I'm in no way acting upset. Again, you're trying too hard here.

Meh, maybe. Or she dies and they go a whole different direction with a new Bond when this movie flops as well.

I'd bet my paycheck that Disney went into casting with this thought process

"Let's find the most talented non-white woman we can find to play ariel."

So you agree that these character changes have nothing to do with talent levels then?

If I had to guess, this chick with turn out to be a villain at the end because it’s a spy movie after all.


After this one they will completely reboot the franchise again. And this one will likely bomb, not because this chick is a side character in the movie, but because this film has been a disaster of a development since they started filming and everyone involved wants no part of it anymore

The whole thing is odd. I read the article and it’s almost as if she’s androgynous.

Just like Spectre. Not sure if the seriousness of Bond movies or the Superhero-ness is what is really killing them.

I said maybe you're right because I don't know for sure so I can't act like I do.

It's entirely possible the Ariel chick was a diversity casting, but everything I've heard is that she's crazy talented so it seems she is deserving of the part.

If 007 goes the direction of a black chick and they get rid of the James bond name, it's a level of jumping the shark that you really can't make up. I think it could only be topped by hiring a trans actor for wonder woman.

No doubt. Idris would be spot on.
