Why would Hollywood want to piss off a bunch of people just to push their own political agenda?

That's because you're seeing this through the American perspective alone, and you're ignoring the fact that despite involvement from American studios, the Bond series is a British one, not an Hollywood franchise.

In the British context, it's not that obvious it would be a political statement at all. British TV is full of great, non stereotypical characters played by black people. The whole social context is totally different.

The real question is why a tired franchise is squeezed for every last penny. Tom - 30/12/2014 07:04:29 PM 835 Views
Might as well ask why the sky is blue. nossy - 30/12/2014 09:05:37 PM 1003 Views
It took science a while to explain why the sky is blue. Tom - 13/01/2015 05:31:51 PM 778 Views
And it's supposed to be stirred, not shaken. Every vodka drinker knows that. The piker. *NM* Tom - 13/01/2015 05:32:23 PM 442 Views

I completely disagree - but maybe I'm not a typical Bond fan, if a fan at all. Legolas - 30/12/2014 10:51:18 PM 990 Views
They're all imbecile. Skyfall just tries to pretend it isn't. Tom - 13/01/2015 04:29:56 PM 847 Views
Problem is, as I hear it, Austin Powers kind of ruined "spy comedy" for anyone else beetnemesis - 09/01/2015 09:22:53 PM 954 Views

I am very much against casting people to fill a roster or quota ironclad - 01/01/2015 11:32:39 PM 945 Views
Shrug. I have no problem with it- there have been plenty of men who played Bond. He's "British" beetnemesis - 09/01/2015 09:28:12 PM 1000 Views
