I think one of the sad things about Idris Ilba not getting to be Bond is, in the hands of a nuanced writing team, they really could have used the character to dig into some of the stuff the aristocracy still has not fully self reflected over.
- curtainsforus 5y agoWhy do you think the aristocracy cares about Bond films? Bond films are trash for proles. Any attacks in an Elba-bond would only cause damage to the proles. That being the reason the aristocracy can, and will when prompted, say "oh yes, it's a stunning and brave work of art"- because it's like chemo, or antibiotics- a mild poison that damages the scum far more than you. The scum likes bond films; when bond films say "England is racist", the scum sours and turns on itself. The human aristocrat breathes a sigh of relief and goes back inside.
