Lea Seydoux joins Bond 24

Thank you.

Δ

Lea Seydoux is pretty much the best choice they made in this movie.

Why do they still do this 'I'm Bond's equal' shit? Has this trope not been proven to annoy everyone by now?

I think I'd be far more interested by and engaged in a character who turns around and says that she has some hot and dirty sex with Bond while he had a few hours spare, and he ruined her.

I'm sure one could rustle up some articles from 1964 about how Pussy Galore is a "different kind of Bond Girl" etc. The "Bond's Equal" trope has about as much meaning these days as DarkGrittyFlemingianishesque™.

Exactly, so why the fuck are they still doing it? That sort of shit, even more than the crappy theme tune, is putting me off.

Seems like Severine was a one-movie return to the 'sacrificial lamb' Bond girl. Or maybe that's Bellucci's role this time round.

I wonder if it's almost a contractual obligation to say you're "Bond's equal" if you get cast as the Bond girl. The only ones who may meet that criteria about half-way would be Wai-Lin or Camille and even they both had to be rescued in the end. Future Bond girls should just be honest and say "well I'm going to be dead or in bed by the end of it so please see the movie to find out".

Well, Madeleine Swann is a Doctor and her dad is Mr. White so she's not just the regularly scheduled Bond fuck job.

She also says Ambler is not your equal.

Come on Ambler, we've been here before and we know you can't handle the competition.

I just ignore it at this point. It's been that played out.

I like tits out in the open, but SPECTRE spoilers are another story.
