I would say that I was talking about why the movie makers would change Bond, and that I was not insisting any intention on your part, but That wasn't super clear, and to be honest I think I might have been jumping to a conclusions about your motivation as well. My apologies.

In my defence, this conclusions was based on the fact that it would be equally fun and cool and sexy in a new franchise playing a new hero without having to screw with an existing franchise. I admit can't see any value in changing Bond specifically over making a new character other than as a statement of some kind. Bond is not like the doctor. He is the same person who's supposed to have live the same live with the same experiences across all films changing from one similar dude to another is an easy suspension of disbelief that such a radical change from British white male to american hispanic female and believing the character has always looked like that... That's a big ask. The doctor changes in universe, Bond does not. So why make a change that alters them so entirely in the canon if not to make a statement? I am not trying to imply any intention on your part, I'm just interested in knowing why you favour changing Bond rather than having a new hero for Rodriguez. It's true I made an assumption about your reasons and I apologise, but am interested in knowing why a new hero would be less acceptable to you.

And in my shallow defense, you started and infact continue the trend of attributing meaning and intention to me based on your assumptions that I must be one of threatened by a lack of penis. (and all that other stuff in your first comment.) I am not threatend. Little pissed of about being spoken to like I'm one of the 4chan assholes of the internet because I share an opinion with them and the assumption that I too much just be one of the sexist masses because I don't agree with you about how immutable gender is to a persons experience. And the continued assumption that this makes me not a feminist? Or somehow a bad feminist? Sex is immutable to a persons experience, Race nationality and gender can and often do offer a different experience, particularly for the viewer who will not be able to separate their experiences of the real world with any attempt to ignore those experiences on film. Look at the scene in Skyfall, where the villian is being sexually intimidating to Bond. Are you saying that if Bond was a woman people would not have found that to be massively problematic? Maybe they'd be right to, maybe they'd not be right, but the fact is in this world Gender is a(n artificial) divide which frames things like that differently. There are changes that would be needed to be made other than just swap the gender and I can't see the value of having to make those changes, or the audience having to parse those changes within the context of canon compared to creating something new.

Anyway apology accepted where it was offered.
