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.
Oops. I accidentally got involved in a discussion on whether James Bond could ever be black.

Meh. I would just view it as "something new." There have been a ton of Bonds.

The real question is why a tired franchise is squeezed for every last penny.

Might as well ask why the sky is blue.

And it's supposed to be stirred, not shaken. Every vodka drinker knows that. The piker. *NM*

I completely disagree - but maybe I'm not a typical Bond fan, if a fan at all.

Problem is, as I hear it, Austin Powers kind of ruined "spy comedy" for anyone else

Never been a fan of changing the race of established characters.

Shrug. I have no problem with it- there have been plenty of men who played Bond. He's "British"
