Gunbarrel. Snowy mountain with two climbers. A storm is coming. Something happens so they both die. Their son, who is waiting in a cabin nearby is later informed. He goes outside and looks up at the mountain. Closeup of his eyes transitioning to the the eyes of an adult wearing a skimask who looks up at a similar smaller mountain. There's a training exercise. He and several other members have to reach the top. A race. It's part of their training. The man is hesitant. He sees the others heading off. Eventually he gets his act together and after some obstacles he finishes first on top. He removes his skimask and James Bond is revealed.
It’s a massive point in the history of the young Bonds character. It’s obviously been mentioned in the films before, but never explored more than a line or two.
It would be a good starting point for a younger Bond, and of course give the Amazon Bond some character building traits, without having to re-introduce Vesper.
I could see the climbing death and transition from young Bond to current Bond as a pts idea.
I think it could be a good way for Amazon to begin their era.
Yeah I think it’s possible. Maybe they’d worry it gets too close to Spectre territory, and to be fair Sp does do a fairly unique spin on the parent angle in that it’s about a foster father who was killed; the problem is it just didn’t pay off.
In a way it is surprising his parents have rarely elicited more than a mention before.
Idk what drama or stakes the story can give him, but I'd love to see him vulnerable. I image a PTS where he's on the run, out of breath, cut and bruised. His gadgets failed, it's just him and his wit. Then he takes a bullet - he's down. It's going to take all he's got to make it through the PTS by the skin of his teeth.
Another things as well... GenZ face a lot of bullying in their lives. I think a strong Bond character would make a great role model
It's very Batman...or Bambi.
Batman, Bambi, Bond.
ETA: It's also kind of Last Crusade.
It’s very Iron Fist.
A film with any focus on his parents would be odd and far too personal for a Bond film. I could maybe accept an adaptation of the part in the Authorised Biography where Bond must climb the mountain which claimed his parents.
After that, young Danny’s mother throws herself into a pack of hungry wolves to save his life, completing his orphaning, and he’s rescued by warriors from a magic city that only appears once every ten years (basically kung fu Brigadoon ) where he trains in kung fu and fights a magic dragon.
It’s going to be difficult for Bond to top that.
I have to admit...it doesn't sound half-bad to me. The PTS features a climbing sequence and the reveal is that at the top there are two simple crosses representing his parents. I'm wondering if this is what the game will do.
