[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9595154, member: 18"] Yeah "only in the past could you be a cool sexy superspy, modern times are too woke for cool sexiness which relies on being a big creep/rapist" seems to be the subtext, but that already got disproven with Craig-Bond, who got told he was a dinosaur a lot but, I dunno, never actually [I]seemed to be[/I] a dinosaur in any meaningful way (even when they pushed it they had to basically make it be "But you prefer human intelligence approaches over drones and hacking!", which like, obviously, it's a spy action movie, good luck making one about drones and hacking that isn't an awful bore! I'm sure it'll be done eventually but what a silly thing to try and emphasize). I would, it's just playing into Boomer nonsense, and we could do with less "When men were men and women were women" stuff, frankly. I mean, for god's sake, Douglas Adams was lampooning that in 1978, over 46 years ago (with "In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri."). Do we really need start repeating stuff that was so dumb it was funny nearly 50 years ago? [/QUOTE]
