To me, the central dichotomy that defines Bond as a character is the mixture of his suave, charming, charismatic personality with his completely cold-blooded, remorseless ability to kill, and I tend to judge how “good” a portrayal of Bond is by how well it captures that duality. It’s maybe the main reason why Dr. No is still the best Bond movie, IMO.
I like this explanation a lot. Lines up with a lot of my favorite things from the movies.
In other words, it has nothing to do with some dumb ideas about British imperialism. And it also means I think Elba would probably be the best Bond since Connery.

Idris is a cool choice, but I remain convinced that the best next Bond would be Judi Dench. Rocking suits, killing baddies, and wrecking cars and dudes.

Although I readily admit that my version sacrifices most of the cheap titilation and toxic masculinity the series is famous for. Which makes it...uh, Mission Impossible I guess?
