You know the era we live in, people trying to create markets for women's movies while instead of just coming up with an original idea (if there is indeed a market for it), they want to take already established franchises showing that there is really no creativity at all and it's the only way they maybe able to turn a buck.
I personally don't watch the Bond movies as they don't appeal to me, but I can see why someone who has followed the franchise would be a bit mad with what they are doing with it. Same way fans of shows complain about series finales and such
Hollywood is trying to create a market for female heroes. When they force it, it doesnt work. When its done with the right storytelling, like in Fury Road, everyone loves it. Speaking of Fury Road, everyone loved Theron as the antagonist in FF as well.
To be clear, people in this thread arent even smart enough to make the distinction between being Bond and being agent 007. If it works creatively, it might be time to move on from the same old thing. James Bond is at what almost 30 movies?

Well she already looks like a man. They could've at least gotten someone that wasn't as dark and ugly.

Would make any kind of sense whatsoever even in this completely fictional world?
Its funny, of all the ridiculous, nonsensical and downright laughable feats James Bond pulled off, where you would draw the line is that a woman could be an MI6 agent.
I mean... Are you even aware that she wouldnt be the first female super spy to be on screen? Have you seen Nikita?

You can watch Vin Diesel drive a car off a plane and literally control it in the air but if Michelle Rodriguez does it you go hey women cant drive like this, hollywood is bull****.
