This is pretty funny considering that in the novels Bond is portrayed as a barely functioning alcoholic and sex addict who clearly cannot operate in normal society, and who gets his poo poo absolutely wrecked at least several times per book

Bond was portrayed as far more competent and well-adjusted than someone with his personality and vices would've been in the real world in the movies, which is why he's a cautionary tale in the books. Sort of like a reverse Blade Runner thing where Deckard in the movie just gets owned nonstop but in the book he's actually good at his job

He's literally a murderer who kills people for Thatcher's oil profit for money. An ultra-cop if you will. How the heck could a Bond be anything except horrible in every way :confused:

Big difference being that the movies play up Bond's lifestyle as cool and that he's enjoying himself.

It's not much different from how Death Wish started out as a fairly faithful adaptation of the book, which is about a desperate vigilante who doesn't achieve any kind of justice and just kills a lot of people. Then the rest of the film series was just vigilante wish fulfillment.

I'm not autistic, and there's nothing to indicate the post wasn't serious. I'm not sure why Bedshaped is having a moment at you.
