Literally Gary Stu

Does this mean Daniel Craig is the least popular Bond among women then, at least since he hired a feminist writer to put Bond through feminist filtering and "update" the francheise?

Probably.

MI6 teach you to win every poker game and lay any woman you want?

Being a Chad lets him lay any woman he wants, and he's a very experienced poker player, if his first ever poker game was at casino royale and he won, that would be Gary Stu, but he's been playing all his life. Also he fucks up and gets captured constantly.

He barely avoids dying constantly you retard

AAAUURRRGH GARY STU

Because he's a complete bastard

Doesn't he get jumped on and captured every fucking film? The only one that is really out of whack is You Only Live Twice, as if he'd pass for a nip. But OP is certifiably a faggot.
>poker
Go kill yourself.

because he's a trained spy who spent an entire lifetime mastering his craft? are you aware of what mary sue is?

How is Rei a Mary Sue? Shinji piloted the Evas better than the other two, Rei only became a god when she merged with a god

The thing is James Bond is a Gary Stu, but his movies are good, so it's fine.
In star wars it's a bit different because
1)It's a pre-established universe with other characters that had to develop their power(you can argue Anakin is a Gary, but the prequals are shit too) and out of no where this girl with a huge power level comes and is the strongest
2)it's not a good movie

You can have power fantasies, as long as they're well written and entertaining and don't slap previously loved characters in the face. Another example where this is shit with a gary stu would be in GTA V where Trever kills Johnny and johnny's character was made pathetic and the opposite of his established character for Trevor's power level

How is he? You're asking people to prove a negative, you're the one making the claim

He initially lost at cards in Casino Royale

Did Rei fight in WWII and spend years in intelligence when she force persuaded James Bond that stormtrooper? How did she even know what force persuading was?

Only since the Craig films, and even then it's still mostly male fans. Before then Bond almost always are a shirt and shorts that fit the style of the time period, instead of a teensy speedo

Bond is a flawed character that fucks things up, bearly has his alcoholism under control and hits women.

Sure he always wins and is a staight up male power fantasy, but the fact he needs to actually struggle makes him different from a Gary Stu.

Mary Sue's are only caused by shit writing, they are not a character class in themselves

Oops didn't realize we were talking about Rey from star wars. Have some Rei with toast as an apology

Anakin still trained for years but showed an aptitude. Rei had no training or knowledge of the Force yet still used it immediately. I think it only took her two weeks to lift massive boulders and she never had a moment of failure like Luke with his sunken X-Wing or in the dark side cave

he's literally written to be larger than life, the coolest bastard in the world, you arn't watching him for growth you are watching him for style and action and a very particular story structure where he wins

the difference is starwars has always been about actual character development

Being overpowered is ok so long as you entertain the audience.

Bond holds up his end of the bargain. Rey doesn't.

James Bond has plenty of flaws, he literally admits to most of them in the books and movies.
>drinks too much
>smokes too much
>womanizer because he's afraid of getting too close to anyone (OHMSS being the obvious reason why)
>falls for femme fatales easily and get captured in most of the movies
>a literal killer who uses witticisms to disassociate from the emotional baggage of killing so much
