Fleming was a pretty messed up man when it came to women.

Well so doesn't it follow that some of this shines through in his work?

Okay I am using hyperbole a bit to make my argument but the dude is a womanizer who doesn't care if he uses those women as pawns and if they die as a result. Idk you could say he's like that with everyone and for every woman he hits there's a man he hits/shoots but there's def a certain male fantasy being played to in these movies is all.

Maybe it is a product of the times mostly but, still. Doesn't mean you can't enjoy the films though.

Anyway I want to reiterate that I want more cool evil villain plots. The one with the dude that didn't sleep was meh but at least they went for proper Bond villain stuff.

This thread lives to die another day (which coincidentally is the worst 007 movie in my opinion)

Why would a man in his line of work assume there are not piranhas in the tank? :thunk:

Like, the James Bond is a code name theory makes no sense, when you consider that the character in all the films has the same traits down to having a favourite drink and identical dead Scottish parents, and is always a charming sex obsessed posho with an obsession with tailoring.

the thing is, though, that everything outside that particular set of traits is constantly in flux between actors

like, outside of the classic "James Bond traits," Connery, Moore, Lazenby, Dalton, Brosnan, and Craig have all played pretty different characters, which is (I'm assuming) a lot of where the idea comes from.

if they do ever decide to make the codename theory canonical, I'm assuming they'll have it be that MI6 essentially brainwashes the traits into the new Bond whenever the previous one dies, leaving the rest of their personality intact

I really hope the never do this. I never understood why people couldn't just accept the inconsistencies and move on. Their just fun dumb spy movies. It's like a few years ago when Mad Max Fury road came out and everyone started complaining about all these inconsistencies between all the movies and the director was basically like "who gives a poo poo".
