And I'm just gonna quote myself in case anyone missed it...
Exactly. They can make him a ladies man and still bed x number of women, except in this day and age they won't be easy targets. No more Molly Warmflash or Patricia Fearing type stuff. I'm happy with some banter before they get on with it.
@ClarkDevlin @w2bond I mean it seems 007 will have a romantic involvement of some kind with Ana de Armas' character from what she has said in interviews. She mentions not being a damsel, and that she "doesn’t fall for Bond because he’s handsome or because its an affair. It’s more than that." Although this could either mean that their relationships feels somewhat genuine, or that she doesn't fall for 007. I'm still holding out hope that she'll be a villainous femme-fatale, but the way her characters being described makes me think otherwise.
At one of my jobs I work with a crew that is 95% female; trust me women overwhelmingly are attracted to “ Casanova’s” ; not abusive men , but alpha-males who enjoy the company of woman and approach life in a bold manner.
If by #MeToo BB means that Bond won't have it easy with ladies, I can live with that. Dalton had only a single girl (and a small flirt with Lupe). Also, as MGW said, Bond has been respectful to women for a long while. Like @ClarkDevlin said, Bond doesn't have to bed girls every five seconds, but I hope he will be as seductive as ever and will have his moment with Paloma for sure.
Now, if by #MeToo she means the four girls will be giving him lessons on how to treat a girl and point him that every slight eyebrow raise is sexual harrassment... well, I'll always have GoldenEye. ;)
But I also don't have a problem with fleshing out female characters and to have them exist outside of bedding Bond or being as capable physically as Bond. Bond girls are part of what attracts me to the franchise IMHO, so I see no wrong in that.
You can also turn the concept on its head like they did in the 60's (no less!!) with Fiona Volpe using her sexuality as a weapon just like Bond.
The sacrificial lamb trope has gotten kind of old, though.
HAHA, GoldenEye was ahead of its time.
"Someday you'll have to make good on you innuendoes", she then says. Oh, the good old times of easy banter and flirting.
Yep, but it was made in a playful, joking way. I'm even working on a piece on how GE embraced political correctness by laughing at it.
Hope so!
Did she write her lines for Solo? I remember some of her lines were a little on the nose
With Vesper you felt it and saw the relationship develop. Bond resigning from the service for her made perfect sense. With Maddy it came out of nowhere.
True, Blofeld is coming back for the same reasons, they wrote themselves into a corner. Christoph Waltz can't pull a George Lazenby, or people will never let him forget it!
Waltz will likely play a similar role as white did in spectre. Bond finds oberhauser, he tells him how evil maleks character is. Oberhauser either kills himself or is dying already. Something like that.
“They feast.... like there’s no tomorrow”
Blofeld is more likely in prison. Maybe a Hannibal Lecter type role.
Seconded.
That great & never Forgotten
I hope so.
