We wouldn't want anyone else to be 007. We don't want it to change. We just want to watch movies about James Bond MI6 agent with the codename 007 that has good action, scenic locations, cool spy stuff, good looking ladies, gadgets, and quips.

Why is the fact that fans would be annoyed or angry over a drastic change is so baffling to people?

I've said it before, I get what they're doing for this one movie and I'm ok with that. Most of us are talking about the hypothetical that the series will continue on without James Bond. It might just be a long shot and it's worry over nothing, but there's plenty of reasons why some of us believe that they would do that.

For me the curious thing is why some changes are allowed but not others. The current Bond differs massively to how he was back in the 60s and all those changes get a free pass but the idea of a black Bond is somehow a step too far despite we actually had a lot of people stating Idris Elba would make a great Bond.
