female bond is a bad idea because bond is fundamentally a masculine (you could reasonably say toxically masculine) power fantasy

think the gender has little determination on the potential of any bond movie, so who cares, but also most people who want it to change do so for reasons other than pure love and best interests of the franchise. in any case they got so close with No Time to Die, then chickened out at the last second

I feel like a woman Bond would be a bad idea for the same reason, but I don’t see why someone couldn’t make, say, Moneypenny into the POV character (provided she’s more in the vein of Naomie Harris' character in Skyfall)

I think a female 00 agent with Bond as a semi-antagonistic, semi-mentor figure could be really interesting and tear much deeper into the power fantasy than Female Bond could ever

I feel like a female bond would work as a satire, because some many masculine tropes look ridiculous coming from woman
