Then why not just change the entire character, why not make spider man a tranny who spews pink webs out his ass, creative freedom shouldn't be limited by the characters after all.

Also can I just point out, if the code name theory applies, Bond can be any race.

Fuck you.

The character traits can stay the same but the race can change.

Race and ethnicity are character traits, the same as sex and facial features.

If it is established that they are all different Bonds whatever, but if not he should stay as is character was designed, cry about it.

I've actually noticed something, each actor changes Bond's personality, your argument holds no merit because each iteration of Bond changes with every actor. Bond changes with the times so it's time we bring a new face we haven't seen before. And Elba is the one to do it, he's perfect.

At his core Bond is still Bond, a few wise cracks don't change that. Batman went from a quirky crime fighter to a hardened vigilante, but he's still Batman. The hulk went from a one dimensional rage fest to a monster with a persecution complex, but he's still Hulk. Captain America went from an optimistic propaganda piece to a war torn veteran out of place in a new world, but he's still Captain America.

Their core traits are still the same, you can't change that.

Yeah but race ain't one of the core traits buddy, it's what the character does.

Race is a core trait, so is hair color, which is why Bruce Wayne is still a black haired white guy after all these years, it's part of who he is as a character.

Roger Moore and Lazenby had brown hair.

There are going to be minor discrepancies in movies just because you're using two different people, but they attempted to make them as close as possible. A black bond isn't even trying.

why not Purple?

He could be if the writers wanted to.

Color doesn't have anything to do with Sailor Moon either, but it doesn't mean that Sailor moon can be portrayed by a black or a white.

It can be. Creative freedom shouldn't be limited by race.

No.... no homo?

I'm very right-wing, but if you're born here and raised here, you're a Brit. It's not the ethnicity, it's not the skin colour, it's the culture.

You don't know what it means to be British, I'm proud to be British, and if some muslim pikey from Peckham comes along and says he's British because he was born here, he's British.

See? this precisely the stupid bullshit that we have allowed ourselves to get in to. I hate to use a slippery slope argument but that's what this is, If we set a precedent of stupidly small nations with a bit of money going independent then it opens the door to all sort shit can insanity. We should be seeking unity throughout the world not more meaningless separation.

And they're fucking not purely British.

Jesus Christ you're a dickhead. Idris Elba is British. I will have a looooooot of people that agree with me, and so will the law.

English people are a mix of vikings, Normans and Romans, I'm purely celtic means I have nothing to do with your gene pool. Tell me, am I British?

My family tree is completely Welsh from before the 11th century, I am purely Welsh by blood, does that make me non British?

I don't see them going for long without a helping hand.

The fuck you being racist for boy? He's British, he was born here, he was raised here and he's one of us.

He was born in Hackney, London. he's British as far as I'm concerned.

South Wales are the elitists.

That's cymdeithas yr iaith. They're pricks.

We can't, supporting ourselves financially is impossible, I just want to be acknowledged and helped out by the governement.

See? this precisely the stupid bullshit that we have allowed ourselves to get in to.

Sure. While we're at it, we can attach a generator to Ian Fleming. We could power the world with how fast he'll roll in his grave.
I have nothing against black people, but come on dude. That's worse than drawing a black jesus, or black santa. Hell, you gonna make Robin Hood black too? Or maybe Edmond Dantés! How about a black Captain Nemo? At least the Indian one was creative. Maybe the next Indiana Jones should be black!

James Bond should be an Anglo-saxon, Sailor Moon should be Japanese, Storm should be black, and Santa should be white. There's nothing wrong with that. A white immigrant that moves to asia will never be asian, and his kids will never be asian, they will be a white person living in an asian country, that's just a fact.

Elba would make a fantastic Bond. He doesn't need or have to be white at all, I mean, being from British soil makes sense, but colour has nothing to do with the character,

Color doesn't have anything to do with Sailor Moon either, but it doesn't mean that Sailor moon can be portrayed by a black or a white.

Have you seen him act?

He's fucking perfect, even if he is black.

He was born in Hackney, London. he's British as far as I'm concerned.

Or Nathan Caton would be a funny James Bond.

Good suggestion but we don't need another Roger Moore.
