It is now safe to assume that the “James Bond” franchise is dead. I don’t think Lashana Lynch as 007 is going to attract many James Bond enthusiasts.

Apparently they are targeting an ethnic group of some sort............

I got hooked on James Bond books and movies as a young teenager in high school in 1964, when I saw "Goldfinger" twelve times at the theater.

After that, I read every 007 book that came out multiple times and then saw every movie more than once. I've enjoyed them all over the years.

But I think this is the end of the line for me. James Bond is not a black woman.

Next thing you know she will be a lesbian or transgendered.

I would have accepted a black man as 007, someone like British actor Idris Elba. He'd make a perfect Bond.

But not a woman. Changes the whole dynamics of the character.

Ian Fleming would roll-over in his grave if he were alive today.

Leave it to Hollywood to ruin a good franchise.
