I think its more a continuity thing but I'm not a giant bond fan. If they made it more clear that bond isn't a specific person but a title or something, I'd be a bit more upset about it. That would mean they accept bond should be different people but for some reason should only be white people.

I honestly dont know the material well enough to tell whether its shitty or not. I personally find it hard to keep watching a thing when the actor changes though. Took forever to start liking Daniel Craig cause I grew up with the Pierce Brosnan movies.
