Yes it's April 1st but also the Bond franchise is so overdue for a ripped lesbian bodybuilder built along the lines of Grace Jones circa 1984 (who could totally rock a tux).

Jones is alas too old for the role these days but in her hey day she made a fine Bond Villain.

@cstross it would, i admit, to be a bit silly to cast james bond as a girl. but casting 007 as a girl? or having a series of movies staring 003, even? what's the fuss?

@fishidwardrobe @cstross agreed! 007 could totallly be a woman.
I'd love that and I'm convinced it would 100% work with the archetype.

@mavu @fishidwardrobe But bear in mind that 007 is pretty much a photographic negative of the personality profile the security services look for in an officer, i.e. their recruiting criteria can be summed up as "would Bond do that? If so, FAIL."

@cstross @mavu well a) a woman could do that and b) why not tell some different stories?
