      its not just that they can't create, its a purposeful attempt to subvert established culture and try to replace it with what they consider a new and improved culture. They believe they must tear down the edifice of the old so that their new culture can take root. It is not really aimed at older generations either. It is aimed at the young, who will view it as 'new' and 'progressive' and 'superior'.

    In defence of Tim, he's only reporting about an article for comment, which they're are many. Initiating a discussion. People have strong opinions on " retelling ", an established narative. As someone " outside " the LGBTQ socio political " community??". But? Both that community, and others insist I'm part of. I have a unique perspective. It apears from detailed research. The term " queer ", which used to be used as a slur for homosexual males, is now used as a term for anyone who is " unusual ", be that a feminie homosexual reverting back to an identity pre 1960s before the Matschine identity of Will hay, of the " gay man ". Queer also refecting bisexual women, who were not of a lesbian identity. Queer, also has been adopted by some heterosexual men. Yes sexual oriention is diverse, as well as its expression. People generaly don't have a problem of people that exist having representation in film and television. They always have, including diferent racial group's. Some less positive, and some positive. The 2014 remake of Dracula, had a masc gay man play the role. Unless one knew who Luke Evans was. He played a very straight role. Move forward to 2020 Queen's Gambit cast a transsexual woman to play a character that wasn't written as trans in the script and was just like, a lady doing a job and living her life. It only came to light when Graham Linehan famously accused her of taking a part from " a real women ". All luke and Rebbeca were doing was doing a job they had auditioned for and got based on their abilities. People apart from Linehan don't have a problem with actor's doing what actors do. Theater itself is heavily gay, not intersectionaly gay, but flair, and expression often come with the orientation. What particularly makes heterosexual men uncomfortable is. Openly homosexual affection in a public way. Especialy onscreen. Something I think the gay community sometimes forget. Everything in moderation used to be the thing. Maybe instead of forcing the majority to see a gay romantic acting scene as the " norm '. More emphasis should be on overtime " normaliseing what is part of nature. Be that homosexuality, transsexuality, intersex, and even autosexuality are orientations that people don't have control of. Importantly they aren't as widespread and a " threat ", that could be seen by " turning 007 GAY ". The socio political LGBTQ want the masses to think. Half the population are! That frightenes people, mainly through ignorance, but mostly because people are tribal, but are generaly liberal, as long as that liberalism isn't put to the test.

    Considering that some men lost their minds when the shift was from Sean Connery to Roger Moore, it is unsurprising that today's boys are unlikely to possess the requisite curiosity and robustness of psyche to accept any revision or expansion of the character beyond the beloved and affirming tropes. I mean, the inches of screen space given over to agonized consideration of Bond's martini preference should be enough to suggest that a good many men will simply not tolerate and deviation from what was in the beginning a constructed masculine archetype who's prime directive is to maintain the at all cost the misogynistic hegemony of heteronormative values.

    If the gay community need a James Bond type character on the big screen, then there should be one, however leave the name James Bond for the straight community. This is like asking myself to forget that I am straight and become gay just to make a few people included. It’s NOT who I am and it’s not the character that Ian Fleming created. Leave existing stuff alone and go create your own characters. I don’t have a problem with inclusion, I just have a problem with inclusion taking over everything that straight and maybe other members of the LGBT community people enjoy.

    "Reimagining a fictional character" ...is always about opening up the franchise to a new audience.
    If your franchise is dated, or even deemed as having... 'archaic societal values'.
    Then it makes sense, if you want to keep the money making machine going... to update it for 'modern audiences'.
    It's not meant to attack your own personal 'archaic value system'.
    Just a 'business persons' attempt to make 'easy-money' from a dying franchise, by reimagining it.

Disney went all in on this idiology and are losing billions due to it - they have recently started to dial it back in a big way. Bud Light learned a lesson too and there are other examples I could provide. This is possibly the loudest shouted, but least supported push that I have seen in my lifetime. Anyone that pushes this is so out of touch it isn't even funny, either that or they refuse to support it when creatively bankrupt people actually cave in. There is no "modern audience" just marxist educators pushing nonsense ideas with an attempt to undermine culture.

    Strangely! When the creative people where forced to sneak in it against the powers. It was clever, compelling and good. Because the right people did it for the right reasons.

    Sorry, as someone else has said. Badonoc would have a field day. Bond is a very straight fictional character, based on a real life character. Infact, his sexuality is part of the character. Hate crime is on the rise, partly due to the straight majorities liberal views, on homosexuality, feeling threatened. They are fine with a homosexual character on screen, even someone gay, whos straight acting playing a general role. Fact is Bond is Heterosexual. Fact some in the LGBTQ+++ continue to push the envelope beyond our curent societies acceptance levels. Just for the sake of " diversity ". As someone whos publicaly sufering the consequences. If I were out to people. A gay bond would only further inflame the so called culture wars. Things are going backwards, rather than forward.

But that character cannot steal the identity of another, needs to be new. Writers need to stop being afraid. Ripley, played by Andrew Scott, was amazing, I had to tear myself away for priorities. That hasn't happened since Lost. He is possibly based on being asexual. How out of the box is that?

The facts are apparent with recent failures both film and streaming with changing the hero into something they are not. Speculation is great for a RUclips discussion but not for actually making a film that will push what remains of fans into apathy. (Star Wars, Indiana Jones etc.)
