To be fair, changing James Bond or Sherlock Holmes to women would be incredibly stupid.
No, the idea that a fictional character can’t be reimagined is what is incredibly stupid.
They wouldn’t really be the same character. Doctor Who is the same character whether a woman or not. I recommend people stop reimagining stuff, just make new characters.
All just semantics and labels. You can make a Jane Bond that is exactly the same as James Bond except for her first name and her vagina and it’s not a big deal. Or at least it shouldn’t be a big deal but some people insist on making it a big deal.
Realistically they won’t do anything like that to Bond or Sherlock after how big of a flop the Ghostbusters remake was.
Well they just did it with Doctor Who, so…
