Skyfall too had Bond gravestones 

I want to say people are calling for a female 007, and they mean James Bond metaphorically as the 007 type of spy. Otherwise it just doesn’t really make sense.

That’ll remind people too much of GI Jane

It’s because that’s what they think nerds read! 

And that Bill Cosby was Jack’s moral center. Hell, he was all millennials’ moral center in the 90's, along with Rosie O’Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg.

For WSS it works for the setting as it’s reminiscent of other 50's- set works where all the teens are super old (like a 35 year old Henry Winkler as the Fonz, and Grease of course) 

I’ve only seen the Rent movie and I think the age of the actors is what made me really not like it. They seemed like a bunch of attention-seeking children who are gentrifying a city, and the bag lady is the only one with any sense. 

It has bled into Disney films too, it was my biggest qualm about ever watching Frozen. It otherwise was fine, the music just makes me angry. 

Ok hear me out- what if they do a What If Black Panther but it’s White Panther, and he blows his family’s fortune/vibranium supply on cocaine and sexual harassment settlements? 

But it’s not. Skyfall and other films confirmed it is his actual name. The family motto is Orbis non sufficit, or The World is Not Enough

I could also see Elba as M due to his age and prior experience as a stressed out boss. Like if he was a former 00 who got promoted and now has to balance his prior field work with being now part of the upper brass

Yeah, he knows how to act like a kid, especially an awkward one. Platt comes off as a fairly confident person who can’t quite relate to who Evan is, at least on film, until he becomes the confident monster post-fame. I am intrigued by the idea that Connor was not a great guy however, and the implications of lionizing

Robin played a kid fairly convincingly. Platt just seems to be trying too hard with what he thinks is nerdy loner quirks, which the review reinforces for me.

Drudge is rarely seen but he does actually dress like that 

I don’t think actors *have* to be the exact age, but they have to at least act like a normal kid does and Evan just doesn’t give me that vibe.

Oh come on it’s at least an F-, if not a G. These grades are too generous 

I want an exact replica-Bond where he is not the good guy and everyone hates him, especially women. 

I don’t think much older, so they’d have to adjust to having an older 00 agent (I don’t see why spies can’t be “older” gentlemen or ladies anyway in fact it would make them easier to blend in) and tone down the stunts for what a middle-aged man could do, or else you go into Roger Moore territory.

Yeah I don’t exactly get what a female James Bond would be. Does she still have the name like she’s Michael Burnham or is she a female 007? A female 007 is where they’re going with the new movie anyway, which I think is fine. But James himself is very caught up in being male, English, and fucked up.

It was funny the first time when he choked on broccoli, but they definitely overdid it.
