It's Bond. A certain resemblance is necessary. It doesn't suffice to add a few Martinis here, a PPK there, and end with a showdown against a super villain involving tech gadgets. The movie also needs sexism and humor, at least.
Seriously, reinventing Bond while modernizing it but keeping it a Bond movie is challenging. A challenge that people should accept.
- LtWorf 2y agoBah throw it away. The books are racist AF and the whole plot i about how imperialism is actually wonderful.
- Animats 2y agoAh, the good old days of "Take up the white man's burden." Bond belongs to the era of Kipling, when the sun never set on the British Empire and the broad-backed soldiers of the Queen ruled the world. (Hm. A Bond movie set in 1890... That might work. Read Kipling's "Miss Youghal's Sais" for ideas.[1]) [1] https://www.kiplingsociety.co.uk/tale/miss-youghals-sais.htm https://www.kiplingsociety.co.uk/tale/miss-youghals-sais.htm
- LtWorf 2y agoBond was born outdated when the british empire was gone. Now it's really time to invent something else instead of keep doing the same stuff over and over. No matter how much the visitors of this website might downvote me :D

- LtWorf 2y agoAlso you are downvoted. How dare you to say such an heretic thing? Hehehehehe
