Movie buffs take note: the next 007 is female

Article here. I call this "Doctor Whoifying" a series. It's when you take a patently masculine role and fill it with a woman, like the DW people did. Result: Disaster. RIP DW and now the Bond franchise. Star Wars, too. Excerpt:

'Since Daniel Craig announced he was standing down as James Bond, debate has raged whether the next 007 should be a woman, or black.

Now The Mail on Sunday can reveal that she will be both – thanks to the intervention of feminist TV writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

In what's been called a 'popcorn-dropping moment', British star Lashana Lynch, will be given Bond's licence to kill in the 25th movie in the franchise, currently being shot in Italy and the UK.

However, traditionalists can relax: she's not the new Bond, but a new character who takes over his secret agent number after he leaves MI6.'

AFter all these years, they've decided to kill off the franchise.

It was fun while it lasted, but a black, female Bond will only appeal to a few black lesbians. Think of the female Ghostbusters, which was a flop. Ditto for this new James Bond.

They might have created a new female spy character and that might have worked, but to make James Bond into a woman--never gonna work.
