    I’m pretty sure that re-envisioning, say, “Spider Man” as a differently-abled polysexual woman of color would not be as successful a franchise.

    Although, I do like “Spyderxyr” as a moniker. Has a ring to it. And I’d probably see a movie with the above noted hero/heroine/herox/herowhatev, because it would be nice to see a new idea. Just so long as it wasn’t *supposed* to be spiderman.

    Zen master, laying out another, longer piece of string: “Now how does the old string look?”

    Those old Zen fuckers were no fools.

    Give the world a better hero if you want to put the old one into perspective. Anyone can piss, moan, and destroy.

    According to the article, there won't be a "female James Bond" nor did it say the new agent would be 007. The article stated "The forthcoming Bond film will see actress Lashana Lynch play a female 00 agent after Craig's Bond has left active service."

    That's keeping inline with the James Bond universe. There have been other 00 agents. Bond is the seventh to be issued a "License To Kill".

    If I recall, one story said there is only one 00 at a time, that Bond is the seventh after the previous six were killed. Another that there are more than one active 00 agent at a time, but most were dead.

    In any case, I would love to see another 00 Agent added to the franchise!

    006 and 007 were both in Goldeneye (Sean Bean playing Trevelyan / 006). I have no idea where or how 'canon' is defined in the Bond movie-world, but that's the precedent I remember for having multiple double-o's at once. So they could do it again. The big first would be having someone other than Bond be the star of the movie.

    009 was in Octopussy, but only long enough to die.

    If memory serves, "00X just got himself kilt" was a pretty common plot device.

    Even the famous "No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!" scene had 007 noting that if he was killed, 008 would replace him.

    In one of the older Bond movies there were about nine 00's that at the beginning of the movie jumped out of an airplane during what was supposed to be a training mission (and then one of them got killed, of course). Unfortunately I can't recall which movie that was.

    I guess most movies only show 007 because Her Majesty's Secret Service simply uses a "one riot, one 00" policy?
