Yeah, definitely some incel vibes with Safin. He even says to Bond 'you made me do this' after he nanobots him like some sort of abuser. It's interesting. I noticed in The Batman that the Riddler seemed similarly weedy, weak and rather 'incel' li…

Makes sense. It's actually got a lot of great stuff that I enjoy reading, but overall it's never gelled together as well as it should do for me. Understandable given the circumstances/the fact that it would have been an early draft in an ideal world.

To be fair, License to Kill is a much better title than License Revoked or License Renewed. While the thing about US audiences not knowing the word 'revoked' is amusing, I do think there's a lot of truth in the idea that it brings to mind thoughts o…

Creatively, having a Bond in his prime seems logical. As I've said in the past I don't think a Bond in his 20s especially works. Perhaps at a push an older looking actor in their late 20s could get the role, but I suspect the next Bond will be aged …

I do wonder if there will be some conflict behind the scenes between Amazon and MGW/BB regarding the next actor. I can certainly imagine Cavill and Turner being the most obvious 'moneymaking' (ie. generic) candidates while the producers might have o…

I actually didn't know that story! Seems very much like something Judi Dench would do. As for what could have been, it depends on what stage they decided Dench was going to return. If this was before the scripts had been written/at a very early s…

It's not the easiest thing coming up with a Bond title, especially when we don't know what the story is at the moment. I suspect they won't go for a continuation Bond title for the reasons explained above... Out of the most plausible/somewhat lik…

It's an interesting idea, but I'm not quite sure if it'd work from a narrative point of view. Generally speaking these films start with or at least centre around a simple premise (ie. a British agent in Jamaica is killed, a digital list of British a…

I'm not too sure when we'll see another Felix, but I'm of the opinion that it's best to do something different with the character going forward. Personally, I'd like to see a version of Leiter who is slightly older than Bond (let's say in his 40s…
