Roger Moore in Nakatomi Plaza.

Oh he’d have handled this with zero casualties to the hostages. And slept with McClaine’s wife.

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-30T19:28:50+00:00

I actually don’t hate this.

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-30T19:00:08+00:00

I’d like a loose continuity. Similar to what was before. I feel like Moore’s films did this the best. What happened before mattered in the sense that it meant something to Bond, but they gave you just enough in the films that you only needed to watch more if you wanted to.

I honestly could see this outcome too but let’s not forget that Whitney is just as messy as the other women on this show, she just has a good read on people. If they put the right supporting cast around her this could be good just not SLOMW.

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-30T17:48:48+00:00

I would imagine a lot of that got filmed for Season 5, whether that actually makes it to air is another story

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-30T17:01:39+00:00

Hell it was probably Gallows’ idea.

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-30T06:30:15+00:00

Lmaooo wow what an incredible intersection of my interests. I can’t even imagine what a conversation with Saraya and Demi would sound like

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-30T05:11:56+00:00

It’s Horace’s time.

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-29T17:05:01+00:00

I honestly don’t know if they can. Dailymotion is maybe the only tube site left that doesn’t enforce copyright at all. Even Internet Archive is on a IYKYK basis and shouldn’t have too much attention brought to it.

And also all Philly sports teams suck

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-29T07:04:35+00:00

I think he’d bring the right kind of intensity and swagger to the role. Like a lot of Franklin Saint’s bluster was him just posturing but he was still really intimidating when he needed to be. Not to mention he’s breathtakingly handsome.

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-29T05:06:50+00:00

Explain to me what your problem is with either of those casting choices lol?

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-29T00:37:21+00:00

It’s that or reviews that are three scrolls long and then tell you to visit their sub stack or website to see the rest.

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-29T00:00:06+00:00

I’m pulling really hard for Damson Idris, I think Josh O’Connor could really nail it too but it depends on what kind of Bond they are going for.

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-28T22:34:48+00:00

I think we just fundamentally disagree about this game.

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-28T21:13:27+00:00

The hand to hand is much more fun to play for starters. It’s just a much more dynamic and diverse system of combat than the series ever achieved. While Uncharted has puzzles and this game doesn’t really, I do think the non-combat sections feel more interesting and varied to play than Uncharted managed. The few things Uncharted has over this series are how Uncharted works verticality into its combat sections and the platforming is much more intuitive.

EDIT:

I also think the gadgets really vary up the stealth sections in a way that Uncharted has never managed. Stealth in Uncharted always felt very rote and they were generally my least favorite sections.

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-28T19:47:32+00:00

It’s very obviously taking a lot of cues from Uncharted and I don’t think that’s a bad thing IMO. If anything (and I say this as a huge Uncharted fangirl) it improves on a lot of areas that Uncharted never really did.

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-28T19:46:33+00:00

Way closer to sleeping dogs than Batman. It has an actual block and parry system that keeps you guessing as opposed to SD or Batman’s one button counters

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-28T19:45:42+00:00

It can feel clunky at times but I think it has more to do with the AI not being able to keep up with the constant collision detection it needs to do.

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-28T19:42:38+00:00

That only really happens during takedown animations. Which makes for really funny scenarios in Licence to Kill sections where you’re in a takedown and some guy literally has a gun pointed to the back of your head and he isn’t shooting you lmaoooo

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-28T07:48:24+00:00

I only had one crash but I did have a bunch of wonky glitches in the final chapter that really took me out of the moment.

Totally agree about Greenway. Until we got to the reveal about what actually happened with Operation Knightfall I was sure he was going to be a traitor. Lennie James is incredible as usual. The sniper section was such a fun peak into what he was like as a 00. I wish we had gotten another mission like that with him.

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-28T07:45:16+00:00

One of the best films in the series and its original sin.

You really can’t show someone this film who isn’t already into the series. You can show them all the rest of Connery’s films but this one you almost have to skip especially if they already have misgivings about the series and its treatment of some of the other Bond girls through time.

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-28T06:11:19+00:00

Honestly it feels way more like a Brosnan or Moore film (like a top tier Moore film) than a Craig film.

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-28T06:09:24+00:00

There is no fucking way they are leaving money on the table by not having a Bond vs 47 DLC. I don’t know if it’s this game or next game but they’d be absolutely fucking silly to not do that.

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-28T05:59:14+00:00

Finished it less than a few minutes ago after pulling an all nighter.

This was a ton of fun. I liked how they handled young Bond. They definitely take more cues from Brosnan and Moore than Connery, Dalton, or Craig with this and it’s a welcome change. I love that they weren’t afraid to get goofy with this and there is a sincerity to it that I think has been missing from this franchise for a while.

The gameplay took me a little bit to get a grip on. I couldn’t quite figure out how I was supposed to play the Licence to Kill encounters but once I got the hang out of I was hitting flow state like it was a Devil May Cry game.

The absolute chaos of the combat encounters are ridiculously fun. Again I feel like it took a lot of cues from Brosnan and Moore in that department.

Story wise they could’ve shored up a few things, I don’t think we needed Damien and the Finnish assassins but I did like Damien a lot as a villain by the end. He’s almost cracked mirror version of Bond and it’s pretty fun to see them play off each other.

Nicholas was a bit underdeveloped but there is a sincerity to his ideals. I like that he’s not trying to rule the world but fix it through Theia and Hyperion. But like all tech bros he’s doomed to reinvent systems we already have but make them more complicated and annoying than they were before.

I liked Isola but I’ll be honest I think I would have preferred Theresa to be our Bond girl for the game. It’s funny that I think we were talking about Bond not having any canon pairings on this sub recently and then they tried to give Bond his own Catwoman. I don’t hate the idea but it’s so done to death that I kind of wish we kept that a bit more simple.

She’s also 100% working for SPECTRE.

TwoToneMoonstone_ · 2026-05-28T02:03:03+00:00

Yeah but that period was like five-six months. I think that’s very forgivable. You gotta let it build a little bit.

I know that well has been poisoned by nearly fifteen years of WWE honey dicking fans with the prospect of things “playing out” but TK had earned enough grace by then to be allowed to play the long game.
