Would you rather Bond26 be a "Bond Begins" adventure OR a "Bond is Bond" adventure?

    I'll take an established Bond. We've already had one origin for the character with Craig's Casino Royale, and 007 - First Light is already presenting another one.

    Let's go with a "this never happened to the other fellow" opening. I don't need to see a stumbling, bumbling Bond learning the ropes to eventually become head of the spy class. Young, but experienced is just fine.

    "Bond is Bond" please.

    The thing is there isn't really an origin story per se. Bond kills two chaps and gets his number, that's it. Before killing those chaps he still had a lot of experience in his job. A true origin story would mean teenage Bond, and that's a whole other story.

    Bond should never be "rookie." He may learn things (and probably should), but even if there is an "origin story" (first gadgets or first martini or whatever) we should never doubt Bond's capabilities and rarely doubt his judgement.

    What I'm trying to say is, I'd prefer Bond is Bond, but if there's an origin story, Bond should still be Bond.

    Since First Light is going to be an origin story for Bond, I would prefer Bond 26 have Bond established, perhaps early in his career by 2 or 3 years but not a rookie. I would also like it if M has her or his full trust in Bond as well.

    Bond is Bond. He's ageless, timeless and I don't even want to pinpoint how many years he's been a double O. He just is. The entire Craig era was a pretty much an origin story with a final conclusion.
    TBH, I'm rarely ever in the mood to watch any of those films. :(
