Not me.
mnkykungfu said:Hymie I think you're being far too respectful to this franchise. I enjoy a good Bond flick, but it's almost always followed trends and had a "throw s*** at the wall and see what sticks" kind of attitude. They're almost never visionary films, they always follow what has already come out in other films. So it makes perfect sense that they'd gender swap Bond 3 years after all those kind of films started to deluge Hollywood. If it doesn't stick, they'll just switch back.
People might complain on the internet about Bond all day, but most theater-goers are going to see whatever new Bond film as long as it has some gags and looks like good action. It won't matter much if Bond is Scottish or blonde or black or female, most people will get over it. They essentially just try to keep a Bond for about a generation. 10 years or so, then that Bond was "your" Bond and there's a new, interesting Bond for the younger people coming up. I wouldn't instill too much meaning in the franchise...it'll fall apart on closer examination.
