Comment on If "James Bond" is a codename, would a hypothetical female operative filling the same role receive the same codename?

Gods, the first time heard Elba get suggested as a possible Bond, I flipped out. Then it eventually reached a point where it was definitely not going to happen, and it made me really not want to see any more Bond movies at all. There’s some actors born to play a role, and if they don’t, it’s kinda horrible. Like, if Pierce Brosnan had never had a chance to be Bond, it would have been a miscarriage of cinematic justice, no matter how the movie actually turned out (I enjoyed his turn personally).

The fact that it’s essentially impossible to have Elba do even a single bond film now ruins the franchise for me
