Given that I don't care either way, I'm looking at it objectively - the discussion of whether Bond can be black is already out there (fairly widespread), so you're also risking pissing off people who think that it's the actor's ability that matters, not necessarily his color. If people start to feel there is no good reason for him to stay strictly white, they may be equally annoyed.

The real question is why a tired franchise is squeezed for every last penny. - 30/12/2014 07:04:29 PM 986 Views

It took science a while to explain why the sky is blue. - 13/01/2015 05:31:51 PM 917 Views

Problem is, as I hear it, Austin Powers kind of ruined "spy comedy" for anyone else - 09/01/2015 09:22:53 PM 1128 Views
