Just gonna copy-paste my above response because that's easier.

I'm not a Bond enthusiast by any means and everyone's allowed their opinion, I just don't personally see why it matters. I thought every Bond was different? (Of course they share some of the same personality traits and that sort of thing, but...still.) Going from a ladies man to a...well mans-man (whatever) seems like it could work to me. Now would it work with the audience? Probably not, at least not right now. But I don't see why it couldn't work for a film itself.

I'll add that I don't mean that every James Bond should be gay or anything like that, and I'm not a huge Bond fan myself so I'm not going to be heartbroken if it never happens, I just don't see why him liking dudes is an all important factor.

No, every Bond is the same character, and ignoring the different actor is, except in the case of the reboot (which is explicitly a reboot), supposed to be part of the suspension of disbelief as much as pretending any of the tech or wacky plots make sense. It isn't even a Doctor Who regeneration situation, even if there are some lines of fanon that do prefer treating the name as an inheritable alias along with the number.

I always thought the name James Bond was simply a codename given to different people, but apparently the last movie debunked that. I like the codename theory more myself, but...*shrugs* In that case I can see why there would never be a gay James Bond.

Fleming wrote it both ways. The movies used to go with the name being assigned to different people and then they went the other way with the reboot. They weren't as obvious about it in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace as they were in Skyfall, but it was there.

If that's the case, I'm glad I didn't imagine it. Heh.
