Dislikes violence? Are they mental?
And people are going to blame this on Craig, just as the lovey-dovey Lazenby Bond seemed to fall in his lap for fault.
Gunn: You ready? Fred: Is no an acceptable answer?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Are they going to change the title to Bond Begins ?

Mollaka is played by Sebastien Foucan, French co-founder of a popular urban sports trend called Freerunning, or Parkour, and his powerful running style makes Bond appear clumsy.
Oh, I've seen clips of people Freerunning, and it is very cool to watch. Definitely looking forward to the new Bond flick!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"The great thing about it is that he makes mistakes and screws up.
That's going to be a tough sell. The masses don't like their Bond that gritty and fallible. He's supposed to be an Ur-Man, not a person. Plus, they like the gadgets.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
OMG Parkour is the coolest sport! Possibly also teh craxxiest. They do stuff like vault themselves up onto 2nd story baclonies, and then leap to another balcony, just because it is there.
Google video had a whole bunch of clips of it around Christmastime.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Parkour is nuts. THey featured that on Current.
I didn't read the article because I should be working, but Dan Craig had a lot of Clive going on there. Rrrowr. Not that I didn't find him utterly sexy-laid before.

Always Anti-fascist!
I enjoy fallible, rather tortured heroes, as you all know, and I love James Bond. But, you know, completely different vibe.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I love realistic heroes as well, that's not Bond. You don't watch a Bond movie for "realism". You watch it for Bond being Bond.

If they can do Baby Bond better than Sum of All Fears did Baby Ryan, I'll be happy. Of course, Craig is multitudes sexier than the Affleck, so that's a plus already.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Then there's the Can Actually Act (Or at least Chooses To) factor as well.
