this is why the first Danger Diabolik is better than the entire Bond franchise

shit just happens

wikis, tropes, cinemasins

all media writing exists for the worst pedants and "well how did that happen? i don't get it. explain!!" of all time

"make the audience Deal With It"
November 11, 2025 at 5:09 PM
oh don't misunderstand me. i detest James Bond lol. i just have an interest in it because regardless of if you like it that series was very culturally important in the US and UK especially. not to mention a good series of timecapsules

we can only hope the fanification of all writing is resisted via thin line of authorial impulse to be difficult and not like being told what to do

oh god but Felix Leiter is CIA so it's possible that he'd be…

oh no

i hope they never do that tho, but only because i find the fans obsessed with that theory insufferable and i want them to remain unhappy
November 11, 2025 at 4:53 PM
it literally never mattered

learn to live with some ambiguity or perish
November 11, 2025 at 4:47 PM
swear to god watching hot everything has gone in media over the past decades is gonna force me to start writing again but intentionally frustrate the audience as much as possible
November 11, 2025 at 4:47 PM
that would be funny.

i still like frustrating an audience that wants everything explained tho better. just never comment on it. new person. who care
of course he's James Bond. story starts. deal with it
November 11, 2025 at 4:44 PM
you could have a dog write these things
November 11, 2025 at 4:43 PM
he gets away and takes off the sneaking suit and has tux on. he goes into a nice restaurant where a lady is waiting for him, they ask for his reservation and he does the bond james bond thing. done
November 11, 2025 at 4:43 PM
here let me if they can't:

opening scene, some dingy but sightly exotic locale, a guy in a spy suit does some spy shit. maybe a gadget. something blows up
November 11, 2025 at 4:42 PM
stop writing like the fan wikis fuckin matter
November 11, 2025 at 4:34 PM
or is voodoo also still caconically real in James Bond? and he was in ww2?

since when did these things -have- to be a direct sequel? that's a new thing. continuity was the exception in the series before the Craig movied

just ignore it ever happened lol. easy
November 11, 2025 at 4:33 PM
lmao. making the "it was a codename/title" crank theory canon after 50 years of trying to insist it was always the same guy (somehow), because the most recent writers wanted their arc to feel final -would- be very funny

i knew it was all cooked back when i saw ppl calling every random photo of university offices "dark academia"
