Sandeep, you seem obsessed with racial, homo-erotic, and feministic undertones in a Bond film. None of that matters in this franchise.
Hi bjmdds. It is not obsession but I have concern for diversity and inclusion. You see I do volunteer work in the community center and I help counsel people there. They are struggling and are feeling downtrodden. So for me it is good when movies show this perspective of fairness and not marginalize others.
Look at the Mission Impossible spy films as an example. They are enjoyable to watch, as should a Bond film be. It should be about spy intrigue ONLY, without a woke checklist to please the SJWs.
I did not consider that perspective, I will admit that is a good point. It is true the spy movie must have intrigue and make it entertainment. But then I look at old Bond movie where I see discrimination and how there is toxic masculinity and I begin feeling outrage. Maybe balance must be put in Bond movies. For example, I like F9, it has diverse cast and they are all integral to the story and no group or person is marginalized.
Let Hollywood create a homosexual spy, with homosexual characters, that are only people of color cast in it, with very few men, and have at it.
That is a fair perspective. But I also believe social justice is important and apply it when necessary. Have you seen a series called Ann Boleyn? It is fantastic they cast a black actress in that part. I have started to watch this series and it is incredible.
bjmdds, if I may ask, how do you feel what Tom Holland said about a new Spiderman? This is what he said,
"I would love to see a future of Spider-Man that's more diverse — maybe you have a Spider-Gwen or a Spider-Woman. We've had three Spider-Mans in a row; we've all been the same. It'd be nice to see something different."
It is from this article:

What he said is how I feel about this Bond franchise. Like shake it up and show something different and show other perspectives. But it must have balance. I understand they must be entertaining like how you explain to me.
