 But just maybe the franchise owes Asian guys one after all this guys listen I got endless evidence of this the next James Bond is gonna be Asian or at least it should be and here's why yeah This next shark list is going viral right now because Daniel Craig is retiring They listed off seven Western Asian actors that potentially could take over the franchise they swap them in they swap them out traditionally It's always a skyrish Irish British guy But a lot of people were talking about the next James Bond being a drizzelba as well So this was sparking a ton of internet comments all over the place some are in support of Asian James Bond Some are against it and of course everything in between. All right, everybody. We're gonna go through the comments section We're gonna go through this list of different Asian actors suggests some other ones that weren't on the list and then also Make a case on why an Asian James Bond actually makes some sense So please hit that like button check out other episodes of the hot pot boys David first of all I want to say I think it'd be really cool to see a drizzelba who is a British African actor to be in James Bond shoes and I think he has been the most talked about now Obviously a lot of people don't like the race swapping and it's like oh, you know James Bond is traditionally according to the source me though. I have to be a Scottish Irish British Naval Secret Service man, whatever and I'm like I get that I get that it's a valid point if they don't change James Bond's ethnicity ever. I'm not mad either I still think there is plenty of good white guys out there But I think it'd be cool shout out to a juice killed it in a stringer bell In the whirlwind of conversations around me playing James Bond I've always said look, you know wait till we see John Luther in a movie because I feel like the real estate is the same Andrew I do also think there's a case for an Asian guy to be James Bond. You know why why why why did what? Because it's gonna be Asian because since James Bond 007's inception Andrew there have been so many Hyper-evil bad negative Asian male characters and there have been so many beautiful hot sexy Asian women who have gotten with James Bond Maybe just maybe I'm not saying this is the way the world works. I'm not saying that it's everything's always fair But just maybe the franchise owes Asian guys one after all this guys listen I got endless evidence of this. This is so Stereotypical to like Anglo-Saxon narratives on Asian men. It's like listen James You know you've you you've got with a lot of Asians and you've killed a lot of Asian dudes So why don't we just make you Asian now? Like it just makes sense. No, we are still up in the game 65 to 0 If James Bond is Asian obviously he can't have the Asian glow because that would totally break his cover No, he takes the pepsidacy maximum strength before the James Bond takes place so much in Europe. Would he stick out like a sore thumb if it was an Asian guy But anyways, David, here's a list of seven Asian men who could potentially play James Bond and the first one I think is possibly the best pick Let's go into the list, but I don't know if one can be a Chinese All right, Andrew the first pick is Henry Golding. He himself is half British half Malaysian himself You know looks Asian also has the charming British accent like let's get to Singapore to meet my mom Yeah, he has some action background from snake eyes. He led that entire movie. Also. Yeah, he's always he has a James Bond charm and He was already he was already in a British movie. Oh, yeah, right, right I forgot to say from what I read in the comments section and even white British guys of everybody on this list He was the only guy that they were like at least 50-50 on everybody else to them was like a hard No, well, is it also because he's half British. Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah, he has the accent He's already talks like James Bond to an extent moving on in her number two was John Cho looks great in a tux You know, I don't really perceive John Cho as an action star, but he totally doesn't look the part Yeah, I think he could definitely play an agent But maybe not James Bond because I do think James Bond should stay British Yeah, he should have a British accent What if John Cho was Q because you know Q should have been Indian or Asian by now There's like what if James Bond's Asian and Q's Indian that would also make a lot of sense Oh, like a Harold and Kumar, but but David also I think Indians have a case too because the next person Dev Patel There's a lot of Indians in Britain Oh, there's a lot more Indians than East Asians or Southeast Asians actually I got this idea What if the next James Bond they make a story where either it's a spin-off But James Bond is good on of the Nepal because there's a lot of a lot of Nepalese went to British Oh, Gurkha. Sorry. Yes the Gurkha's the fighters from Nepal We typically are Gurung's too, but not always. Um, Andrew Louis Tan is actually British. Oh, I didn't know that No, he's a he's an action guy. He's a little bit young I feel like but he could play he kind of has the stat trees kind of big I believe he's half British or half Irish and half Chinese. Well, he's half White yes Number two we got Riz Ahmed Shout out to Riz Ahmed, you know, I actually looked up a bunch of music videos of Riz Ahmed rapping with hems from a dash racist Yeah, he's also British too. I think he would work. Yeah, he could work. He looks good in a suit. Um, Harry Shum, Jr Harry Shum, I think works for a lot of things, but I don't know if I would see him as a James Bond I could see him definitely in the movie somehow though almost like it's kind of messed up to say but almost like a Executive rich business guy where you don't know which side he's on like he could be on the good side or the bad side Next up they have Benedict Wong I don't even know why they threw this one in there because obviously Benedict Wong shout out to him got a lot of love for him Does not look like James Bond at all actually looks visually a lot more like odd job to be honest Shout out to him though. He's a great actor though regardless. Um special mention Gemma Chan. What if there was a female James Bond? She's British She actually looks like a Bond girl and sounds like a Bond girl immediately But why not just flip it and have her almost like an atomic blonde to Charlize Theron type thing I do like how they picked a lot of British Asian actors. I also think Daniel Hennie has the look I don't know if he has the acting chops Daniel Wu would also work, but he's not British at all Simu Liu, of course, you know as a Marvel action superhero and then send Hill Rama Murthy I actually really like him from heroes I think he has a really cool look and he looks like he could be a cool Some people are also naming off um Indian action stars from Bollywood movies, you know like con and things like that Oh, it's really interesting Dave. I'm not gonna lie in the west. We don't see a lot of Indian action stars I know there's a lot of Indian action movies in Bollywood, but there's not a lot of Indians doing action in Hollywood Oh, you saying James Bond new new move could be a backhanded slap like And the guys goes There's a long history of Indians in Britain So I think it's also likely that he could be Indian British or half. Yeah from a practical standpoint I don't know Henry Golding sounds like the most practical Realistically because he's still gonna be like yes, like, you know, he's gonna fit in with MI6. They're not gonna be like Chinky-chinky like everywhere he goes, you know, no, right? Well, he can go to Czech Republic and Russia and kind of Ambiguous. Yeah. Yeah, he could do it. Anyways, David. Let's get into the comments section Somebody said, oh, yeah, well, they're gonna make the movie right since to kill. I want to shake it not stir I always think that Yahoo comments is hilarious because it's like a 60 year old guy who won class clown in high school from Montana Leaving comments, but it still made me laugh The next comment is people just need to create their own spa novels Please leave the current stories alone. Now, I get why they'd say this But also that's like saying, oh, you can't have any sort of creative license or creative liberties with old classics You know, people take history and redo history in movies all the time Yeah, I do see that to some extent though that you could just create these mixed characters like john wick You know how like john wick Well, I think he became progressively more asian through the john wick series. Keanu himself is like a half asian, but like, uh I'm saying that it's sometimes it's cooler to create new franchises But it's much harder than using old intellectual property Yeah, I get that james bond is a little bit so long of a running of a legacy that to switch him up It would be tough, but i'm just saying it wouldn't super bother me It wouldn't bother me if they didn't switch him from a white guy But I do think with all the race changing for like little mermaid I do think a lot of like older white people whether they're in england or the uh america But specifically for these james bond character more england are triggered Please keep james born. You can take everything else, but keep james I'd rule the sea in asian mr. Bain before c007 um somebody said uh Sometimes I feel like yahoo throws these articles out there Like red meat into shark waters to throw everybody into a racial divide and racial frenzy and someone said, you know personally me I am not a very right wing person But I can see why they are triggered the right wing hears a lot about replacement theory And then hollywood goes out and gives them proof to validate their opinions Yeah, I mean this is kind of a serious direction for this article to take but it's real right Well, it's funny because this article was actually posted by an asian person on neck shark But it also gets posted on yahoo Which otherwise if it did not get posted on yahoo No non asians would have seen it and this wouldn't have even been a frenzy at all So it's kind of funny somebody said james born is scornus irish in the story and needs to pass as one There are the other characters you can have but just not this one this one's sacred to us Well, also, let's be honest james bond is like a cool ass character. He is a dude who gets all the women He always wins. He knows how to fight everybody and he's super classy And he's not cheesy like captain kirk No, because captain kirk was getting all the alien women in star check But there was always a cheesiness to captain kirk like, you know, dammit james bond If you think about it is kind of the beacon of the anglo-saxon classic man So they don't want him to go away. I get why they hold on to james bond I get it because he's cool and he's not like cheesy in the captain america. Like I said captain kirk wayward He's classy though. I'm saying he's a gentleman Somebody said if netflix made this they would put either janelle mone or britney griner as james bond That's crazy. No, I think they would just create a new character at that point somebody said, yeah Uh, it's gonna be great when they remade crouching tiger hidden dragon with henry cavill, huh? Yeah, that'd be good too. Of course, this is a comment from a white person Who's like, yeah, how would you guys like that if we did crouching tiger hidden dragon? But here's the thing I actually think chinese audiences provided that henry Canville learned mandarin to like at least a four out of ten level and learned all the wushu forms I think they would love it. That'd be interesting. At least they'd be like very very intrigued, right? Um, somebody said switching him to be asian would be good for the global market If you study the macro economics, the next century is going to heavily be in asia in terms of business economic activity What do you think of this andra? There's a lot of like Money considerations to shift things towards asia. Obviously the luxury brands vmh Essentially has already gotten on that train. Yeah, I uh, I do agree that starting your own original ip Is actually maybe more interesting that way you can tie in more of the backstory of this asian secret agent versus just Facially swapping james bond, you know what I mean? Because then are you gonna swap james bond's whole background? Or is this a spin-off? I could see a spin-off, but I don't think james bond does spin-off So that's why yeah, let's get into our takeaways andra. This is such a silly thing But like you said, you know the situation. I'm sorry the comment section often Creeps into serious waters. Why not do a video? A movie i'm sorry where there's a bunch of different james bonds a bunch of different ethnicities Oh, you mean like a james bond like spidey verse Yeah, you can still keep no not a spider verse, but like maybe still keep the main guy who's james bond You know keep him white or british or whatever like that But then like have everybody else around him almost have equal footing and you know kind of representing different things Yeah, I mean I think that's uh, they could definitely do like a better job of that I I think at the end of the day it's gonna come down to what sells and if somebody if they really truly feel like Putting a driss elba in there or getting an asian guy or getting henry golding would sell it Then I think they'll do it and obviously henry golding to be honest being half white Although he's half asian it still does make him visually look a little bit more white So I guess like it's easier for white people to like stomach that to be honest Right, right. I guess the facial ridges are just more similar to them or at least halfway similar to them Right, but honestly also david do articles like this just divide people That's another question. Um, you know, I think the divisiveness is already there to be honest It just brings it to the surface I generally believe that it's hard for people to stay angry about something for like 10 to 20 years I would rather bring it up Do I think all the divisiveness on the internet has surprised me and the lack of nuance and thinking and the lack of like Care and the lack of like diverse upbringing that most people have is shocking to me a little tiny bit But my general opinion is that all this discourse and debate Eventually will lead to at least uh more advanced opinions. I think that's good But I don't know. I don't know. I would I bet my life on it? I'm not sure. I'm not that sure. Well, you guys let us know in the comments down below personally again, you know For me, I don't mind if they keep james bond white Although I think that there are some other viable non-white james bonds out there And if they think it will sell and make the story good then so be it What about a guy who seems like he's cool with other races who's white like a timothy shallow may you know Leonardo DiCaprio, I don't know. I think they have a lot of like Some mixed friends, you know right right right anyways guys Let us know in the comments down below who is another suggestion that you have Maybe who's another white actor that you think should replace james bond another black or latino or asian actor Who should let us know in the comments down below and until next time we out. Peace
