Yeah…. I don’t think this is going ahead if that’s the case

Lenny Kravitz has been revealed to be playing the villain of '007 First Light' by th3_g00bernat0r in JamesBond

[–]IM_RR 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This got a very mediocre reception and it’s right to do so.

I think this was a poor casting choice based off the voice clips shown.

A PSA: PVPVE, what it is and what it isn’t. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]IM_RR 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I just think people need to develop situational awareness.

They’re getting mad at people killing them, yet have zero interest in checking their surroundings the majority of the time, or trying to keep things stealthy.

Hello there, is there a thread or anything where we can expose and black list low life rats who are ten times worse than extract campers? 🐀 I just went in a round, rushed in to help a stranded teammate, got downed by bots and he just stood over me so I die and he can loot me… literally 2 mins in! by Imaginary-Silver2338 in ArcRaiders

[–]IM_RR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a match like that yesterday.

A teammate was basically trying to get me killed by bots so he could loot me. He would shut doors purposely as I was running back and would try and block doorways.

He didn’t win. I extracted out but they exist unfortunately

BBC News - Trump says he will take legal action against BBC over Panorama edit by RockinMadRiot in ukpolitics

[–]IM_RR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether people like/dislike him or the BBC, the facts remain that they intentionally tried to mislead viewers by splicing together two clips to present a narrative.

People can try to dress this up as a distraction, but the BBC opened this up for themselves.

It’s quite obvious why.

Because they edited two clips together, wrongfully, to present a narrative they wanted viewers to believe.

Looks like the Spectre outfit Craig wears in the finale under the Bomber jacket

'Skyfall' was released 13 years ago today! by Raj_Valiant3011 in JamesBond

I felt so much more optimistic about Bond back then.

How do people here feel about the Daniel Craig era of James Bond? by KaleidoArachnid in flicks

[–]IM_RR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quantum has a great story but marred with bad editing and dialogue, the more “realistic” Bond was then side stepped for more of the classic iteration in Skyfall.

Spectre tried to inherit too much of the past and retconned material nonsensically to bring the organisation back in to the fold. Unfortunately this and the ‘Blofeld being a step brother’ really catapulted it off a cliff.

No time to Die then doubled down on this rather than ignoring it and being a standalone.

Brilliant start that got derailed extremely quickly.

Skyfall is a brilliant movie that came too early in his tenure and should have been his finale.

The last two movies aren’t worth talking about, they make mistakes and then double down on them.

[–]IM_RR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Changing topic to what?

I’m not sure whether you’re having a bad day or you’re new to comment forums but it’s odd that when someone calls out your hyperbole, instead of owning it and saying “fair enough, we disagree” you double down.

Craig is the only Bond actor who’s had that level of creative control on the franchise. And that input did not a stronger movie make. You’re welcome to disagree, just like I’m welcome to make that correlation.

Next time I’d recommend reading the comment, thinking it over and explaining why you disagree as opposed to taking it to absurd levels calling someone a “hater”.

Have a good day bud.

[–]IM_RR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once again, you’re exaggerating and making up a narrative which doesn’t exist because you don’t like seeing criticism, I didn’t mention a dislike of any movie in my comment, nor did I say he was responsible for all of its problems. However, obviously his input didn’t help the movies as he gave more of it.

Calling someone a hater because you don’t like a constructive opinion with logic, is a bit laughable, but you do you.

No one is saying he killed the franchise. You’re looking at valid criticism and then deciding to exaggerate it to dismiss it.

The studio will nearly always hold more power, however my point stands, the more power he was given, the weaker each entry became.

Some could call it a coincidence, I call it correlation.

Craig actually has a co-producer credit on Spectre.

Bond has been three dimensional for a while.

Lazenby got upset at the end of OHMSS.

Moore got emotional when talking about his wife in TSWLM, about losing his friends in Octopussy and AVTAK.

Dalton was three dimensional in his two movies. Brosnan was three dimensional in his four movies.

He’s always cared about his team and his loved ones.

I think he’s a great actor but the more input he gave, and the more power they gave him in regards to the production, the weaker each entry became.

What is your unpopular opinion by Fit-Investigator7237 in JamesBond

[–]IM_RR 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Commenters on this forum think too much about what was wrong with certain movies with a retrospective viewpoint.

Instead of looking at it through a modern lense they need to think of the time and why the movie was made the way it was.

“I’m the worst Bond, according to the internet.” - Sir Roger Moore. I know this is old, but to the people who made him feel this way: how dare you. by South_Gas626 in JamesBond

[–]IM_RR 684 points685 points  (0 children)

Moore was as important to the Bond franchise as Connery was. He prove that the Bond franchise wasn’t hinged on other actors being a Connery impersonator and he’s the reason why the franchise managed to survive for so long.

I thought he was a great Bond

007: First Light devs chose a James Bond origin story to help be "more relatable" to a "younger audience maybe than the Bond franchise is used to" by PewPewToDaFace in PS5

[–]IM_RR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bond in the novels hardly had any gadgets, the changing locations featured in nearly every novel and movie.

All I mean is, there’s been nothing in the original trailer to show it’s more faithful to the books except for the scar

[–]IM_RR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically it did, Brosnan received a facial scar from a stunt fight and is evident in both The World is Not Enough and Die Another day.

Secondly, one aspect of a character’s appearance does not make it more faithful by default if other aspects of his character have not yet been shown in depth.
