9 Things Spectre Needs To Satisfy Diehard Bond Fans
4. Bond Must Go Undercover
Bond might be a super spy, but hes first and foremost a spy, which means he needs to do some undercover work. Most Bond films follow the formula of him assuming an alias (usually one that gives him excuse to live large on the taxpayers dime) to beat the bad guys. Bond is hardly a master of disguise (well overlook his unfortunate use of yellow face in You Only Live Twice). In the early Bond features, ones that predated things like computer databases and the Internet, Bond usually just assumed a false identity, or, in the case of Goldfinger, simply showed up and didnt let anyone know he was a spy. Daniel Craigs Bond has also gone undercover in his features, typically producing the same results as previous incarnations of the character: the villains discover Bonds true identity before he can foil their plot and he has to go rogue to take care of business. This basic sequence of events is one of the fundamental ingredients in the Bond formula and appears to some extent in almost all of the Bond features. Bond fans wouldnt have it any other way. Theres a reason this basic template has served the Bond franchise well for fifty years: Bond fans love it.
