    Time’s Up for James Bond? Old sexist male persona to be changed drastically to fit "Modern World in Mind"

    "Trainspotting director Danny Boyle has suggested James Bond's old sexist persona may be changed drastically in his next outing. The 61-year-old Scottish director is working on the script for the 25th 007 movie which will likely be Daniel Craig's last outing as Commander Bond. He said he was collaborating with Trainspotting writer John Hodge for the latest movie based on Ian Fleming's secret agent . . . "

    Commenters: Feminism ruins everything.

    The new Bond may be a transgendered Muslim illegal immigrant with brown skin who hates America - ugly and not athletic or smart.

    This will be as successful as the new all female remake of ghostbusters!

    Will it be a tranny James Bond, who becomes Jamie Bond and forces everyone to use his/her/its preferred pronouns?

    Bond was never a perv or creep or anything. His character was just smooth and charming and women wanted him.

    James Bond is fatally outdated. Intelligence services just don't operate that way anymore, because internet. No agent can be 'secret', no cover can be maintained. These days, secrent agents sit at a desk and pay the locals to do the actual work.

    The other problem is that the people whom Bond would actually be fighting are groups that you are not allowed to criticise, these days.

    The only way to make James Bond work is to abandon the principle that Bond movies are always set in the present. A new movie set in 1958 could potentially work.

    The anti-men folks do not seek equality so much as they seek replacement. I see this a lot. Two different things that are definitely not equivalent.

    And when they want changes like this, they are driving men elsewhere, but they think not about that because, well, women suck at engineering. Always have. Their ideas always go sideways. Women are their own saboteurs. That elsewhere will bite them in the ass, and they certainly have no sense to connect dots that they can't forecast.

    I always say, it takes decades for women to learn anything and in the mean time they take society on a wild ride.

    In the short run, they think they are amazingly brilliant. In the long run, they fuck up what they do, and then somewhere, men have to step in and adjust reality to stop their whimpering. And if men don't step in...

    Well, there's always pussy hats for the ladies.

    Barbara Broccoli is notoriously protective of the JB franchise, from what I've read. Any article that mentions a major change like this yet does not mention her by name seems a bit farcical or perhaps wants to play its audience.

    Trainspotting is this director's quoted credential here? That was 1996, twenty-two years ago.

    A lot of people think James Bond is an intelligence officer. So when MI5 put recruitment ads up, all of those people with James Bond fantasies start applying. Obviously, they get shot down.

    Why would you send a white man in a suit to gather intelligence on a terrorist isis sect? More than likely he'd be killed anyways. The updated version of James Bond is probably a 5 foot 6 muslim guy who people hardly notice. Who remains undetected in a local mosque. Sleeper agents who remain unactive but become active when service required. Used for information gathering. Or quite possibly the homeless guy whos laying down on the floor in a bedsheet, someone you walk past everyday.

    When you apply the feminist bond, you are left with the nice guy white knight. A female always assumes attraction when listing the qualities of her chosen man. This is where the confusion takes place. She is listing the man shes had sex with multiple times and is now showing his more sensitive side. ''He is just himself'' ''He knows how to treat me like a princess'' ''Always respectful'' ''Listens to me'' etc etc

    The names Cuck, James Cuck.

    Women think a studly man is creepy.
    Until they're creeping on a studly man. smh.

    Women think older men are perverts who prey on young girls.
    Until they're chasing an older man.

    Bitches be crazy.

    And it's only creepy when MEN do it. lmao.

    I think the fantasy of a James Bond character is more about him doing what he wants for himself and in service of his country. Throw in some well timed jokes, crazy adventures and of course his charm and it is easy to see the appeal of the character.

    If they deviate from that formula for this fantasy character the entire magic of it is gone. Simply put, no one wants to watch a clone of Jason Bourne which is what a lot of people complained about with Daniel Craig's Bond.
