Yes! Making a "woman Bond" or a "gay Bond" or whatever is just the easy way out. I can like a problematic toxic character, just write him in an interesting way, be creative with the concept. The movie doesn't need to reflect the values of the protagonist acritically.
I agree, deconstruction is fun. I do think making him bi could be fun though.
I like that Doctor Who became a woman, and a gay black man after that. It's good, Doctor Who is progressive and moves with the times. James Bond is interesting because he's a remnant of a bygone era. A colonialist male fantasy. I think the Craig era mostly dealt with that but it had some misteps.
I agree. I love The Doctor changing with the times, but I think Bond has to stay a man to be recognizable as what the character represents, but I think it could work making him not be white.
