"I think I can thank Daniel in a way because he's a feminist, and it's because of him that the female characters have changed so much. It was time to now have stronger female characters, so I'm really happy for that" - Léa Seydoux
Oh here Bear goes! We know he's a misogynists, an mansplainer, a sexist! So now that we are 'clear' on what I am, will I be seeing this in the theatre?
- Probably not.
It's not because there's apparently some role-switching, but more I have rarely if ever seen a Bond flick in the theatre. Sure there's action, adventure, mystery, Mr. Biggles!
I'm really done with replacing anything I grew up with for a more palatable 'woke' storylines. Really I'll leave the large majority of men and women who think they are women and men. Alright I'm sure some classic bond followers will see this as well; but we all know the character has changed with Daniel Craig. In fact we all watched his first role in casino Royale getting broken balls! Seems that just needs to continue until he is fully castrated.
Man oh man.. could he take a 'beating'
The James Bond series focuses on a fictional British Secret Service agent created in 1953 by writer Ian Fleming, who featured him in twelve novels and two short-story collections. Since Fleming's death in 1964, eight other authors have written authorised Bond novels or novelisations: Kingsley Amis, Christopher Wood, John Gardner, Raymond Benson, Sebastian Faulks, Jeffery Deaver, William Boyd and Anthony Horowitz. The latest novel is Forever and a Day by Anthony Horowitz, published in May 2018. Additionally Charlie Higson wrote a series on a young James Bond, and Kate Westbrook wrote three novels based on the diaries of a recurring series character, Moneypenny"."
Wiki
James Bond was an Alpha Male. Kill the bad guy's, use cool gadgets, and of course screw the hot damsel and make jokes about it. Of course this needed to change in the 2020's..
Look, Bear is all for equal rights, equal voting, equal driving, and equal bitching.
What's the origin of the phrase 'Hell has no fury like a woman scorned'?
Hell has no fury like a woman scorned, or sometimes 'hell hath no fury like a woman scorned') is usually attributed to the English playwright and poet William Congreve. He wrote these lines in his play The Mourning Bride, 1697:
Those damned old Misogynists'.. How can a woman be conniving, ruthless, and without compassion! Those are manly traits right? Alright so if a woman wants to live in a man's world, does she require to be those above things or can that come naturally? Isn't that equally sexist against men? People aren't born equal, and neither are man or woman. We can deny nature all we want and create useful pseudonym's to replace that which is surely entrenched into reality. Fine, I can agree there's always exceptions to the rule.
My conclusion is I'm sure this will be a fine film. A lot of action, a lot of SAVING, but I'm sure James Bond will be Felinehandled or whatever you want to call it. While the woman roar's and takes the mantle of 007, erasing the 'sexist' characters of the past means absolutely nothing. If anything it's just trying to capitalize on the 'changing' of the times.

Until then, I guess I'll wait for this film on Netflix.. and even then who knows if I'll click.
