And this is why I'm not bothered by Amazon taking it over.
James Bond has always been bizarre with tone. Each Bond is different. As long as they're not as Bourne-y as Craig's then I'll be fine. But them stealing bonds quips and gadgets and women... The fuck? You made British Jason Bourne with more trauma and less of an ability to cope with it.
As long as they're not as Bourne-y as Craig's…
Yeah. The Venn diagram of good Bond has a bit of Austin Powers and Inspector Gadget overlap, not Bourne.
Craig was more like the Bond books I thought? A few of the earlier ones like On Her Majesty's Secret Service followed the books, but the rest were way out there. I don't think I've seen any of the Craig films all the way through though. I saw part of one on TV.
What do you get if you overlap the other three? deadpool maybe
The opening of casino royal is about as borne as it should get.
Craig has actually said that the serious tone was a reaction to Austin Powers existing. It was too on the nose.
Which is just cowardice
Moonraker.
Your argument is invalid.
Being shit is sort of part of Bond tradition
Edit: This comment was meant to be jokey but re-reading it, that tone isn't really achieved.
My point was just that Bond movies have a series of being all over the place. I mean we have gotten a lot of insane bullshit in the past. And while the original movies were more 'serious', they also had way more camp and fun than the Craig ones do. I love the Craig ones for what they are but they're a very gritty take on Bond. I just hope it doesn't become the default.
Sometimes I wonder if all the James Bonds are the same person, or if "James Bond" is like "The Dread Pirate Roberts".
Poor fella lost his wife on his wedding day. He has loads of trama of his own.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service the second actor to play the role gets beaten up, after which he says "this never happened to the other guy!"
Do with that what you will..
I think they're all the same.
In Evil Genius 2, John Steele becomes that though.

Oh my God, Becky...look at your butt.
Rebecca ass is shockingly tame for old James Bond
Pussy Galore is unironically a character name in Goldfinger (1964)
Bonus fun fact: In the original book Pussy Galore is a lesbian who who gets raped straight by James Bond's magical penis.
Such a romantic
It was a simpler time ..
There was a movie named Octopussy
I thought that's the one Pussy Galore is in?
Aside from Pussy Galore, another favorite inappropriate Bond moment I enjoy is from The Man with the Golden Gun. Bond approaches an Asian woman skinny dipping in a pool and asks her for her name.
She responds: "Chew Mee"
Bond: "Really!?...."
She needed to get something off her chest.
