Is It True? - James Bond is a Codename

Welcome to another edition of Is It True? and this time I talk about a James Bond fan theory. So let's not waste anymore time and just get right in to it.

What is James Bond?

James Bond is a spy series created by Ian Fleming back in 1953. Fleming would feature James Bond in twelve books and two short stories. Since then the character of James Bond has been adapted for radio, comic strips, television, video games, and films. The movies being the longest continuity with a total 24 films and a 25th upcoming film the series has gained a grand total of $7.040 billion thus making it the fourth highest-grossing film series to date.

The Theory

So now that you have a brief summary of what the James Bond franchise is let me tell you about the fan theory surrounding the popular series. The theory states that James Bond was never a person but a codename. This job title has been passed on to different generations over the years. Which is way in almost every movie James looks different each time.

Is The Theory Believable?

In all honesty no it isn't. The theory is kind of grasping at straws when you think about. Almost ever franchise has a different actor playing a character. Such as Superman, Spider-Man, and Batman. Does that mean their is also another person taking this codenames even thought their suppose to be the same person. Also the film series itself dismantles this theory as well. One instance being a one point in time James was married to a woman named Tracy. In the film For Your Eyes Only we see that her gravestone is Tracy Bond. If James Bond is just a codename why would Tracy have "Bond" on her gravestone if that wasn't her husband's real last name. And there was that time when Bond actor George Lazenby was using Sean Connery era gadgets such as the watch.

So this was another fun Is It True?. Anyhow guys I hoped you enjoyed this one just like the Calvin and Hobbes/Fight Club theory. I'm going to do another one but that won't come out until May. So look out for reviews for both recent and old movies, an upcoming countdown list of the worst internet critics, and a new What You Probably Didn't Know About, only this time I won't be doing a movie.
