Daniel Craig Says His Bond Is "Not as Sexist and Misogynistic" As Previous Ones

I beg to differ. I'll cite the "Bond girl" in Skyfall as the perfect example.

People look far to much into bond. Modern culture seems to be against him. He's meant to be a somewhat relic of the past

**** Daniel Craig! The next Bond should be the Dos Equis guy.

Still jealous of Peirce Brosnan because he was a better and more liked Bond, and had a legendary movie/video game combination that puts him as a Bond legend.

James Bond was never mysogynist or sexist. What dumb SJW non-sense.

Huh, so even Daniel Craig has been corrupted now. That's sadness itself.

"He's very f**king lonely," Craig said. "There's a great sadness. He's f**king these beautiful women but then they leave and it's… sad."

Actually, thinking about it now, I think Craig's Bond has only left one woman in the three films he's done. Everyone else he's had sex with has died.

Mrs. Dimitrios? Dead in a hammock. Vesper? Drowned herself. Strawberry Fields? Killed and covered in oil. The gal from the casino in Skyfall? Shot in the head. Olga Kurylenko's character had the right plan not sleeping with bond. The only girl he's actually left (alive) was whoever he'd shacked up with on the beach during his "time off" after being shot by Moneypenny.

I always imagine the directors of Hollywood films saying this:

“Sure we keep putting sexy-looking people dressed sexily together in sexy situations, but we just can't figure out why people always wanted to see them have sex. We just give people what they want.”

Also, “misogynistic”? I see that word thrown around a lot these days. I'm not sure if anyone knows what it means.

“Misogynist - (n.) a person who hates or doesn't trust women.”

He trusts almost every woman he comes across, even when they're obviously evil. Sometimes I wonder if there's anything Bond likes besides women.

This is why I love this site, when Kimmel talks shit about watching videogames so many people on here were agreeing with him and anybody who didn't agree was called a whiner or told to basically "shut up nerd", but when somebody calls James Bond sexist or misogynist then those same people start saying "No you're wrong, you don't know what you're talking about." and defending this fictional character. Oh man, all of this happening on a GAMING site is such a beautiful chaotic mess of hypocritical nonsense. I love you Gamespot, never change.

.... and this movie is about to flop. I always thought sexy ladies where an integral part of the Bond franchise.

So how exactly was Bond "sexist and misogynist"?

Or the fact that he is such a bad actor that he can't even get into character.

I don't see how Bond was sexist or misogynist. Bond was macho, sure, but Bond was classy. Bond was what a man would look at and say, "Damn, that's what a man can be!" but it was nothing against women. Bond was a womanizer and that's something many men are in real life. You could argue that women have never really had a role here but James Bond is about James Bond. The focus is on him and Bond doesn't share a spotlight with anybody else.

Not trying to be what Bond hardly was is a step in the wrong direction.

50 no's and a yes means yes :)

to get called a sexist or misogynist these days all you have to do is be a slutty male wanna bang heaps of hot chicks? what a sexist misogynist you are being sleazy and being sexist are 2 separate things

Then he's not really Bond now, is he?

Not gonna lie, some of the older Bond movies have been pretty sleazy. Not recently though. Not since Pierce Brosnan.

But seriously though, Bond the character has never, EVER been misogynistic, and if you think he is you need to learn the meaning of the word. He has never hated women. He loves women. He especially loves having sex with them. He might be sexist (thinking he is superior to women), but never, NEVER misogynistic. And shame on Daniel Craig for laughably saying so.

"His" Bond? Didn't know he wrote the script and dialogue.

And that's part of the reason why Craig's Bond is such a goddamn bore. He doesn't have the same smartass charm that previous Bond's had.

Casino Royale and Skyfall were excellent movies, but the character of Bond himself?

Connery is still the undisputed Grand Master

LOL but in all his movies he is saving a "damsel" isn't that sexist? surely that's implying that woman can't save themselves? thats bad no?, not to mention he swaps lovers like he swaps boxers=womanizer. Lets not be stupid now James Bonds character is based old school Masculinity that's is very specific and very sexist (which is good) .James is super spy supreme man whore or uses bullets to solve all his problems

I mean c'mon The bond girls are pretty much eye candy and trophies for Mr Bond

Whatever he is doing it's working, at least for me. I always couldn't stand the old Bonds, they were just too ridiculous and corny. This article also cut out others parts of the interview that put it more in context (saw it on another site, where among other things they were interviewing another person about whether or not Idris Elba should be the next Bond). And I must say, ever since he took over I noticed how there isn't really a "Bond girl" written in just to show up periodically for sex and sex appeal, and when there is she seems to be killed off or have more of a story to go with her. I'm surprised to see how many people in the comments are mad about this. The times have changed and so have the movies. He portrays this Bond as older, somewhat broken down a bit. He's never been the suave Bond, and at least I like that decision.
