That is so much of what drives people's opinions I think. My favourite bands are still the ones that I found when I was in highschool and college. Some of them were current and otherwise.
If I had to pick a favourite bond actor it would be Brosnan because he was bond when I was kid.
I have to remind myself of this when something gets remade. It doesn't mean the first one was good, that was just what my nostalgia reminds me of.
Not saying nuance doesn't exist, but for things that people don't really think about, nostalgia is powerful.
connery is more charming, moore is more earnest and craig got to star after they stopped writing scripts where the female leads had names like Hellacious Vag
Fun fact! They only changed that because of Austin Powers. In fact Austin Powers almost killed the James Bond movie franchise entirely because the satire was so on point.
Fair that was apparently fleming’s choice. I’ve always been partial to a spot of Tim dalton tbh. I always felt roger Moore was the saint first and bond second somehow but yeah good choice good choice
