Try naming a lyric from that song apart from Skyfall, I dare you 
But for a moment there I thought it might be Andy Serkis in a mo-cap suit…
Nyah, nyah. I lurved it anyway.

As long as she has the main archetypical Bond trait of “I am a terrible spy and I fucked up my mission yet again because a beautiful woman smiled at me and my brain went missing”, all will be well.
Seriously, “book Bond” was like 90% being shit at his job because he saw tiddies, 5% being a crack shot, and 5% getting beaten up because Fleming was a closeted masochist.

So, you can quote lyrics from Skyfall…
ETA: To be fair, Adele could sing the contents of a 48-page title document and it would sound amazing.

Boy, wait until the manbabies get a load of my Splash reboot, with Tom Hanks and Ian Harvie!

What if it was another white guy as Bond… But instead of a Bond girl, it was a Bond boy? More or less crying?

The real twist will be when they reveal that she is Pierce Brosnan and Halle Berry’s daughter. And that 007 retired to become a stay at home dad.

One of the bits from Skyfall that set off the manbabies:
Raoul Silva: What’s the regulation to cover this?
[Silva strokes both of Bond’s upper legs]
Silva: Well, first time for everything.
[Bond smiles]
Silva: Yes?
Bond: What makes you think this is my first time?

I don’t have any problem with the casting, but I’m a little worried that this is a sign that the producers are going to try to turn the Bond franchise into yet another damn “cinematic universe” with multiple interlocking movies coming out every year.
How about a Felix Leiter movie next summer? What’s 006 been up to? How about M and Q have a wacky adventure together? Ad nauseum…
One of the strengths of the Bond movies is very light continuity. It’s just Bond (or 007, fine). You don’t need to explain it, just do a fun movie. Don’t chase the “cinematic universe” bucks Eon/MGM/Universal, you’ll just crash and burn.

Pretty much this, then.
It was awful.
But, bonus thread points because it has ANDY SERKIS IN IT!!

Little late for that. Bond has always been a cinematic universe with interlocking movies. Sean, George and Roger were all the same character/continuity. They referenced each other and were all connected. During Pierce’s run both Michelle Yeoh and Halle Berry almost got their own spin off films.

Yet to see a source for this that’s not the notoriously unreliable Daily Mail. Having a bunch of manbabies get all het up over something that may not even be happening could be even better.
Sweet. Let’s retcon him to be a direct descendant of the Dread Pirate Roberts.

You’re hoping producers of Bond movies don’t try to milk the franchise? They’re already kind of the ur-example of that, though. That ship has sailed…

They aren’t giving her the name James Bond in a 007 movie? That’s weird, she should totally have the James Bond name. I mean, I guess there are different agents with the 00 designation, but these movies have always been about the James Bond character.
He’s still a character in the movie, just not the lead character. They’re trying a new direction for the series.
