Idris Elba rumored to be next Bond

[LukeSkyrocker]

And what, pray tell, would be your reasoning behind such a suggestion?

I’m just jokin buddeh

 

[Midnighter]

I’m just jokin buddeh

You know who else jokes?

Racists.

Racist confirmed.

Yeah, I'm just fucking with you too tbh.

There is literally nothing about him that suggests he wouldn't make a great Bond except for his skin color. To call it "PC" or act like he would only get the role because of his race is fucking stupid. He could pull the character off with EASE and that should be clear to anyone who has actually watched him..

What would be worth viewing in his filmography to point to him being a good bond? Because skin color being put aside i still don't see it.

What do the Nazi's have to do with everything? oh yes that is right. Nazi's are used to punish White people when most victims of Nazi's were in reality Whites.

This propaganda British people are forced to pay for with their TV license.

 

[bad seed]

Are you one of those people who thinks everything is racist? I spoke the truth, and it was pretty obvious I meant minorities since I only brought up other minority ethnic groups. No shit at there being more white people, there are more white people period.

no, you simpleton. There are more white people than proportional to the their percentage of the population. Thus whites are OVERREPRESENTED in media, despite all the histrionics of the racists. So if anything, we should be drastically cutting white roles to bring it in line with reality.

You're the simpleton here. Whites make up the majority population and when the movie industry was first created that majority was much larger. But the fact is that in the USA we really only talk about white people or black people. There are other groups that deserve these roles more.

 

[Lovestorm]

Rikishi for Bond.

Got the moves.

The charm.

Dat ass.

Plus could tick the tranny box as well.

as that chart shows, blacks are PROPORTIONATELY represented in the media, not overrepresented as you claim. It is latinos and asians who are have underrepresentation but that is not due to blacks- it is because THERE ARE TOO MANY DAMN WHITES. TV and movies are much whiter than the cities around me (northeast USA), so you won't find me bitching about excessive minority presence in media. That criticism is levied to whites.


simpleton.

I think they should give it to Andre 3000', Because America could make Bond great again. And besides he's got his own line of shoes. What's that other guy got besides an accent?

I'm all for an American takeover.

They're taking all of our superheroes.

Exactly!

the Bond franchise is dead anyway.
who cares who portrays him next.

simpleton.

So then you agree with me. You know that blacks are overall represented well in media meanwhile other groups get no lead roles. I don't know why you're being so rude though. I know you wouldn't act like that in person so why do it on a message board?

 

[Fawlty]

Holy fucking Klan meeting lol. Get your sheet together, people.

Anyway, he's good for the role. When I think Bond, I think suave British assassin, not an ethnic/racial group.

 

[blaseblah]

What’s funny is there are only a handful of films with a predominantly black cast that were a huge financial success. Compare them to films with predominantly white casts and it would be a drop in a bucket.

Irrelevant and unsourced. How many big Hollywood films with a predominantly black cast are there? Because the ones I've heard of have been successful.

 

[GergreG]

This is fucking stupid.

As a black guy from one of the former colonies. I love Idris but James Bond’s entire gimmic relies on him being able to infiltrate the former British colonies and fit right in.

It doesn’t matter how suave Idris is, the second he goes to a dinner party in Hungary or Sweden or even El Salvador, the Butler is going to say “who the FUCK is that black guy. Get him out of here!”

A black man can be a British spy.

A black man can’t be James Bond.

Maybe he could infiltrate as the 'hired help'?

This is a great opportunity to cast a female Bond to truly fuck the franchise. Isn't young Caitlin Jenner looking for a role? She is quite athletic & could probably handle the stuntwork so long as her penis doesn't get in the way.

Weird.

 

[Mike]

Lol at people so angry that we might get one black bond after a slew of white ones. Oh, it's not racism though. It's about how much changing the race impacts the complexity of the bond character.

 

[HARRISON_3]

why's he doing that to his sweater?
