Culture Lashana Lynch deleted all her social media to cope with the backlash against being the first Black female 007 - Maybe it's not because it's she black and or a woman, maybe it's because Sean Connery just fucking died and people are pissed that they immediately decided to shill out a reboot.

Lashana Lynch will play the first Black female 007 in the James Bond movie "No Time to Die," Harper's Bazaar confirmed in a new profile of the actress.

While the confirmation is new, news of Lynch's role leaked last year, leading to a backlash from people online who weren't ready for a Black woman as a secret agent.

"For a week, she deleted her social-media apps, meditated and saw no one but family, while comforting herself with the knowledge that the aggressive comments were ultimately not personal," Yrsa Daley-Ward wrote of Lynch.

"I am one Black woman -- if it were another Black woman cast in the role, it would have been the same conversation, she would have got the same attacks, the same abuse," Lynch said. "I just have to remind myself that the conversation is happening and that I'm a part of something that will be very, very revolutionary."

According to the Harper's Bazaar story, Lynch's character, Nomi, takes over the 007 spy code name when James Bond (Daniel Craig) disappears following the events of "Spectre."

Daley-Ward wrote that Lynch worked closely with the "No Time to Die" co-screenwriter Phoebe Waller-Bridge (the creator of "Fleabag") to have Nomi be a "fresh female perspective" in the male-focused franchise.

Lynch also said there was another goal in having a role like this in such an anticipated movie.

"I didn't want to waste an opportunity when it came to what Nomi might represent," she said. "I searched for at least one moment in the script where Black audience members would nod their heads, tutting at the reality but glad to see their real life represented. In every project I am part of, no matter the budget or genre, the Black experience that I'm presenting needs to be 100 percent authentic."

"No Time To Die" is set to be in theaters on April 2.

But it's wypepo that are fragile, right. No one would give a shit if someone wanted to make a spy thriller with a black lead - oh wait, they did, with Tenet, and it did great. James Bond is supposed to be a masculine character and if you change that it destroys the whole series. For the record, I think Idris Elba would be a great Bond, because it would make sense. What exactly would a female Bond do in the movie that would be interesting? This has nothing to do with her being black.

I predict that if they really do go through with BLACKing James Bond, it will do horribly overseas (read: Asian market) and ruin the franchise because the rest of the movie-consuming world is actually quite racist. In China they basically deleted John Boyega from the Star Wars posters because they hate niggers.
 
Part of the issue is that she's not real attractive though, not just that she's black, cast a black hottie and have her in a bunch if skimpy outfits and you'd see a little less negativity and there was in fact talk of giving Halle Berry her own spinoff movie when she was a Bond girl.

I have a feeling this movie is going to do badly enough to tank the franchise. Besides Craig being a meh Bond at best, no one wants to see the role / character destroyed and mangled just to appease the gods of progressivism.
Now that Sean is gone, it's probably a good time just to retire the franchise, that seems like the ultimate symbolic sign that it's had its day.

You can keep making spy fiction in a similar vein of course.

The backlash is definitely due to the lady Bond aspect, because lord knows everybody (okay most everybody) is behind Idris Elba as 007.

Western SJWs are so far up their own asses that they don't understand that most Eastern people aren't ''woke'' enough to accept some progressive outrage they force down everyone else's throats. For a bunch that preach about ''cultural appropriation'' a lot, they sure don't know how most Eastern cultures work.

Also I give some days till Lasagna here is back to twitter, as if nothing happened. This kind of drama is usually short lived and most people using social media have a goldfish memory anyway.

Are the pun names going to be Rule 63'd too? Dick Swallows? Wally Banger? Am I getting warm?
 
If there isn't atleast one line about black women already being used to saving the world unthanked I'll be disappointed. Once again we'll have an ungodly preachy character that won't shut up about how hard blacks have it while never once facing a challenge in the movie. There will be no tension, no drama, and the only enjoyment we'll get is the article after article attacking the audience for not seeing it five times.
 
Remember when Hollyjew subversion at least at the decency to be fun?

Fun history. (((Hollywood))), unsurprisingly shut out blacks from movies. So all the black people made their own movies that got fairly popular. (((Hollywood))) used the NAACP as an attack dog to shut down the blacksplotation genre as racist because they didn't want competitors.

Disagree on Craig, his portrayal of Bond in Casino Royale is the closest any actor got to the books.

Bond is a damaged person, he's impulsive and a borderline sociopath. They toned it down a lot in the later films, but Casino Royale was spot on to the character.

I agree 100% on this is the sort of thing that tanks a film especially when it being Craig's last Bond film and the studio looking for a replacement.

Everybody likes Lana Kane from Archer, nobody has a problem with the concept of black female secret agent in the abstract. The problem is black and gender washing 007. Sorry, that character is a white male that at least puts on a British accent. Flip it around - just like nobody would have a problem with a white chick as a superhero, unless we called her Black Panther because Black Panther is a black male.

Fuck these dipshits.

Did they forget that Paula Patton stared in two Mission Impossible films?

Or to take it back even further Thandie Newton in the second Mission Impossible film?

It's like when we have to listen to wokoharim yammer on about how Black Panther is the first "black super hero" while ignoring three Blade films, Catwoman, and Spawn.
 
"I just have to remind myself that the conversation is happening and that I'm a part of something that will be very, very revolutionary."
This. It's this shit right here that makes people assume the worst. Even if you view this in the very most charitable, ridiculously optimistic light possible, she's still saying "replacing a white man with a black woman is revolutionary". If a white man said him replacing a black woman was "very, very revolutionary" the FBI would be rappelling into his house from a helicopter.
 
From the tens of people who know there is a 007 movie that they could not sell to streaming services?

Just go count your money idiot.
 
Isn't she taking the code number for the movie? I don't think she is actually going to replace 'James Bond', to replace Craig, unless i missed something.

Will be skipping this movie, the writer is the worst sort of obnoxious feminist
A movie where they just replace James Bond with a black woman and all of the other characters act completely normal and never address it would actually be more entertaining than whatever they're going to make.

This is going to be Daniel Craig's last Bond movie, so prepare to be disappointed / proven right.
