Black Panther is The Only Black James Bond We Need - TWB82

Black Panther is the only black James Bond we need. He has the tech, a suave demeanor, and the well intent to undermine criminal minds who threaten his nations. It would be great to have a black James Bond character on the big screen but as long as he or she is not James Bond and more Bond-like. I'm bored of remakes and studio attempts to reinsert old titles into the modern day film industry by way of cultural appropriation: Female Ghostbusters, a black James Bond. Good ideas. Lazy imagination. The sole popularity of the title and name of a product (the film) remains the only selling point for the repurposing a franchise with different faces of gender or race. I hate the idea of that guy from Get Out as black bond; it's only an accurate casting because he's British.
