Well, they sort of have to be. They’re the janitors. Think Mr. Wolf from Pulp Fiction. They fix problems. Intelligence leaks, missing weapons of mass destruction, and almost certainly disposing of burnt assets.

Bond’s psychological profile deems him unfit for intelligence service - but that’s not his job. His job is to clean up whatever the intelligence service fucks up. In the beginning of Casino Royale it also states that you have to kill two targets - and as he says after shooting the guy “Yes. That was much easier.” (Or something like that). So he’s clearly fucked up at that point.

That’s kind of a common question amongst the short stories too.

The part that bothers me is that 007 is assigned to Nomi in No Time To Die. So it sort of makes me wonder why they would assign a different name to the same cover?

We do know that M was the same character in Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough, Die Another Day, Casino Royale, Quantum Solace, and Skyfall. So James Bond 007 is clearly a code name for that MI6 cleaner.

Idk. I think they just don’t explain it because they enjoy that little bit of stuff being confusing as covert stuff should be.

I say it every time this comes up, and it sparks anger, but the movie that did it was Civil War.

Iron Man flinches from a punch Cap throws. A human with peak capable strength does that to the same goddamn dude who took a fucking tank round and just had scorch marks on his armor.

Then in infinity war, the Two stone wielding Thanos frightens Hulk? Bullshit, get out of here. Hulk would have flattened him.

Plus you cannot tell me that Bond didn’t survive in that last movie.

It even says “James Bond Will Return” at the end. So like duh, he didn’t die

(I know but I really want to believe we’re not done with Daniel Craig as Bond)

It’s the craziest part of quantum physics. “Why is this stuff having the observed behavior?”

Based on all evidence and theory, the answer is that it quite literally just does.

Engineers tend to be less accepting of the “debate and theory” part of science and more of the “analyze and act” part.

As in, the debate is stupid, the theory is that the rich have fucked us all, now let’s see what we can do immediately to make it work.

Fight porn is not what I was hoping for, yet not exactly disappointed in the result.
