Interesting how ‘better-looking’ for some coincides with lighter skin and straighter hair.
Interesting you got that out of this thread.
I am going to state, unequivocally and for the record, that the next Bond movie will feature one of these (or possibly several, with henchmen on them, chasing Bond).
And invite Connery comparisons?
Yes, exactly!
What a cluster of a thread, full of misinformation.
Could a moderator please correct the thread title? It is wholly false.
I was working under the assumption that the thread title was close enough to attract the people who would be interested, and that the misinformation being corrected in the first reply was good enough.
I wouldn’t say it was misinformation, that implies I had the intention to deceive. It was an error. Change it if you want.
Judging from some of the reactions in this thread, I wonder if Q is going to issue her with some weaponized cooties…
…we didn’t get that “out of the thread.” We got it out of the posters who literally made direct comparisons to actors with lighter skin and straighter hair.
One poster listed several choices, all who obviously aren’t “black” enough for consideration, I guess. I dunno, they look black to me.
Yes, there is an issue in Hollywood where light skinned black women are used more. But the “posts” in this thread don’t justify your reaction.
In Lynch’s defense, Maria Rambeau was one of the most underwritten characters in the history of the MCU. Just pops up to provide a backstory exposition dump and a ham-fisted “you-go-girl” speech, and then disappears from the movie. I’d like to believe Lynch can do a better job with a more developed character and script.
what about the ridiculous Peter Sellers travesty Casino Royale?
…of course they “all look black” to you. That doesn’t surprise me at all.
Don’t tell me what should or shouldn’t “justify my reaction.” The issue of Hollywood using “light skinned black women” more is percisely because “light skinned black women” are perceived by many to be more “conventionally attractive”. That attitude is coming across clearly in a few of the posts here. Someone even conveniently posted pictures to make that point.
did anyone complain that dozens of different actors portrayed Felix, including one who was Black?
I agree completely.
I remember, a couple of Bond movies back (back when it was floating around the Internet that the next 007 should be played by Idris Elba), a friend and I saw the latest (think it was Skyfall) and deciding that the first non-white 007 should be played by a Brit of Indian descent. We were trying to think of who should get the role, but we drew a blank. Dev Patel, maybe, but it’s hard to imagine him portraying the more thuggish elements of Bond’s character. He always seems so nice.
What doesn’t surprise you? That I think those black actresses look black? Because I’m not sure what you’re on about. And no one here is arguing that only light skinned black women need apply for the job of double-naught spy.
I’m not the casting director here. You have no idea how I feel about standards of black beauty.
The real test if a person is Black enough comes from how a racist treats them. If a bigot attacks them, no matter how light skinned they are, how straight their hair is, they’re Black.
…yep.
Clearly.
Strawman.
I’m not claming that I do.
Incorrect.
What a strange assertion.
They really should have gone with Radzi. 
A lot of work to make no point. Still not sure what you’re on about, but I no longer care.
Have a nice day.
