In this day and age, the Bond character as played by likes of Sean Connery, Roger Moore, and Timothy Dalton is 'a dinosaur of past masculinity', someone who, in the 21st-century, would be conspicuous and a bit like Austin Powers in terms of his ability to relate to those around him.
I don't know what you mean about his heterosexuality no longer being apparent as the previous Daniel Craig films have shown he's attractive to women and attracted to women. I'd be stunned if that doesn't continue. |
There was some emotion, but little on show throughout Craig's time as Bond. Casino marked a "final wave goodbye" to what was left of the Bond I certainly liked. Quantum, Spyfall and Spectre just didn't feel like Bond films. Overlong and at times quite boring. Not as stylistic or quick paced as Casino Royale nor as well written as some of the Bond films from the past.
Well it would be . There's no place in the new world for a James Bond that actually had a REAL SET OF BALLS. You've admitted it right there, in that sentence. So we come to the new James Bond film (2020) No Time To Die. Which way do you think Bond's character will go? Bond is going to be more obnoxiously woke and preachy than ever before in the upcoming film. Why, because we have a writer who was hired to alter the very nature/behaviour of Bond, and is none other than feminist TV writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Add to that Bond getting married to a bossy feminist who refuses to take his name. Sounds really entertaining, doesn't it. What audiences cannot stand are these sanctimonious the future is female lectures that are not “inclusive,” but instead divisive in how they insult and demean men. It seems the corporations making these films want to promote an agenda, but leave out central core of what made these films great. Bond has always been a masculine Alpha Male with a sophisticated side to his nature. The women involved with Bond understood his desires and needs, and often played up to his masculinity. Just look at Pussy Galore in Goldfinger. Both had a level playing field when it came to strong character types. Now it's Bond who's being emasculated in this new film, and the next James Bond outing after Craig leaves will follow a much more feminist line. Hetrosexuality is under attack, and feminism is a by-product of this process.
