If 007 doesn't mean anything why is it on the screen I always say.
Either way, this whole Nomi/007 thing is not a concrete thing. At this point literally anything could happen, she could turn into a hawk and fly away for all we know, and I'm not trying to change anyones opinion, but I can't help but feel that people are gonna taint their own experience before they've walked into the cinema. I'm not trying to antagonise anyone. I just want people to enjoy what we're all here to enjoy.
Yeah I can see. Perhaps they know what they're doing.
Thats why I don't get why everyone is like this the plot deal with it. Journalists were write about PBW and the 007 thing they are coy about. The marketing says this will change everything and Barbara says the ending will be emotional so Bond will die. I don't know it's all making my head hurt to be honest. What set visit I'm curious?
Exactly same with my dad.
@Denbigh it say anything about nomi?
The villains are often aware of this British spy, 'James Bond, 007' before they meet him, so perhaps Bond has to unofficially go under the moniker of 007 as a means to get closer to the enemy - and it works, because the villain is always intrigued to meet this man who caused a lot of grief for his organization (just as Dr. No was intrigued).

This is just me toying with the idea that James Bond is NOT Agent 007 in NTTD, but he is, instead, ex-agent 007 of Mi6;
Think about it for a sec: 007 is now a staple of pop culture. 007. Martini. Girls. Villains with strange deformities. Tuxedoes and gadgets.
This era, more than the others, like to dispel of the tropes sometimes (no Q, MP in the first two films); Fukunga says CR is his favourite Bond film (AVTAK was his first film, not his favourite). Combine this idea that tropes have been disregarded in this era and add that film producers and distributors LOVE taking what's expected and breathing new life into it.
My feeling is Universal would champion that Bond is no longer 007 in the literal sense.
Once the film is released, the general audience will assume James Bond is 007, and there will be gasps and chuckles aplenty when that trope is re-configured and a woman has now been assigned Bond's old number. And he will hafta deal with it.
There's an adage in the film industry: make it familiar, but different.
By taking away Bond's Licence to Kill and giving it to someone else does this in spades.
I love greens. Part of a perfect diet. Slow digesting.
Is that dog food I looked it up?
Wow this film seems more pointless the more I read unfortunately maybe I will be wrong though.
If you don’t mind me asking, what about the few plot points in this article indicates to you that this film is more pointless than any other Bond film?
Why? Why engage with this?
Maybe not as symbolic but could evoke the Statue Park feeling from Goldeneye, disorienting and foreboding
Well Bond just milling around bored just basically that. I'm not thrilled by nomi dressing up like Bond that will be weird I'm not going to lie and I'm sure what the audience reactions will be to that or the response I hope they know what they are doing.
This non sequitur seems a little a “try hard.” The obtuse pessimism wears thin.
And how did you draw that conclusion?
Having not seen the film in its entirety, I fail to see how anyone can comment on such things.
Look I don't really care for Bond milling around bored you got issues with that. Maybe things pick up quickly but it sounds like more Skyfall-y stuff.
You think I'm some troll?
Maybe things will be different but I'm not impressed yet. Hopefully things pick up in the third act.
We have an edit function for a reason. If you choose to ignore these requests again, then further action will be taken.
@Benny ok can you make the function easier. It's hard when people are tagging me all at once in real time when it's like 5 people and I'm trying to respond and I wish there is a better picture function too.
