I'm going to be legit honest. I think Bond works better as a woman, and I think that it is PERFECT that they are passing the 007 title to a black woman. Note that is ONLY BECAUSE I think that Ethan Hunt is a better, more heroic, more spectacular, and more iconic superspy, especially because unlike Bond, his unfliching chivalry is the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of Bond's sleazy seducing, which works far better for a woman imo, which again is why I'm glad a woman is taking the mantle.
She's not the "new" Bond. She's a completely different 00 Agent, which is why Bond himself is getting called back into action. He's still 007 and Bond, and she is someone completely new who doesn't want to put up with his BS.
Also Craig Bond is nowhere near as bad as say Brosnan or especially Connery.

I DID NOT say she was the new Bond. I specifically said that she was taking the 007 title (although, I guess she's not going to be 7, but still the point remains).
You made it sound as if you meant she was taking over as the new Bond(since its played by multiple people) and 007 who are synonymous with one another. 007 is Bond.
But her getting a 00 ranking doesn't make her his direct replacement. There are multiple 00's out there. Alex Trevaleyin was 006 for example. So she's another 00 Agent he has to come out of retirement to help get the job done.
Also Kaz when I said bad like Brosnan or Connery I meant with the womanizing and chauvinism. Not bad as in a bad character.

I guess what I'm saying is that the cold-blooded seductive superspy genre would work better with a female lead imo, whereas a male superspy should ideally be more chivalrous, which Ethan Hunt is. That's just the way I look at it.

Well
A) That LITERALLY is the route that they are taking, so, I guess goodbye Bond...
B) They already DID the female spy thing. It was called Alias. Pretty fun show, so fun in fact that they gave the creator his own superspy film franchise, which he's turned into one of the most successful ever, so again, goodbye Bond...
