I think so, too! Here's what I had posted a while back:
I would love a direction like this because this would explain the bad chemistry between bond and Madeleine as well as the quick development of their relationship.
I'd rather it just be about Swann. The last thing Bond's backstory needs after Swann is *more* "author of your pain" moments.
the main reason why she was brought back to begin with
it would be a nice twist
all i want is something interesting weather she is good or bad
Well it could be for another movie... Okay maybe not.
Also, it would confuse audiences, after four years and a half. "Hey, this is the young version of the very forgettable love interest for Bond in Spectre, Whatshername Swann. So, she's back? And she's actually a villain? Yawn..."
Sure, MI:Fallout had a returning Ilsa Faust in a part intended to be ambiguous at the beginning, but Rebecca Ferguson had made a much bigger impression in Rogue Nation, with more screen time, and there was just a three-year gap.
I think that the footage of a young Madeleine running through the lake and diving into it will work in parallel with a scene where an adult Madeleine is in a similar life and death situation, but ultimately loses the fight. It would show (rather than tell) that she was indeed a doomed character, faced with violence and the loss of her innocence at a young age, something that Spectre wasn't able to suggest. It would give her weight, and some kind of connection with Bond's own take on life, before she dies, justifying Bond's mourning and will for a revenge. So, I agree with Bentley007.
And it's impossible for the child actor to be Léa Seydoux' child with Bond. The child should look like the two of them. So, we'd have a blue-eyed blonde girl who looks like Seydoux but also has a grumpy face and very large ears, accompanied by constant noises of "Pierce's daughter would have been so much better" for her first appearance.
Thinking about what SPECTRE could have been makes me very depressed. There were so many cool ideas which would have made SPECTRE one of the very best Bond movies yet we got a mess of a film. Too bad. Too bad indeed.
Yep, it would help to create more empathy and in turn the connection with Bond more meaningful.
I like what you wrote a lot.
Me too. Makes a lot more sense.
