Being a "womanizer" has been a clearly defined aspect of the character since the first book/movie. Any gender change would absolutely be a PC move. I agree with the rest though. In fact I watched Wanted again just a couple of days ago Another good watch is Haywire. Pretty underrated on IMDb, but I enjoyed it. Plus Gina Carano would eat Bond for breakfast He's a sexist pig in the books. Other characters call him out on how poorly he treats women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that kind of the point though? That is Bond. We seem to have this mentality these days that anyone on the screen considered a "good guy" has to be some kind of role model. What's wrong with flawed characters and grey areas? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on......good guys need flaws and the bad guys shouldn't necessarily be all bad. Part of the problem with Star Trek and Star Wars is that the good guys and the bad guys are usually one dimensional. The good guys are too good and the bad guys too bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
