For Bond 24 or 25 it would be a great idea to end Craig's run as bond with Jinx returning as a villain. She would get her revenge on Bond for skipping town on her after their romantic getaway on the korean countryside in DAD. End Craig's turn as Bond with a similar ending to Layer Cake, except instead of being shot in the back- have him lose in a climatic epic fist fight with Jinx, with Jinx as the victor. The setting could be on a beach in Goa or a subway in Moscow. This would be more surprising than a bullet in the back. It is also great to have a hottie like Berry (though they could replace the actress) be as physically capable, or even stronger (and willed) than Bond. If they were to replace Berry they should do it with a big time oscar caliber actress to rake in some dough.. perhaps Angelina Jolie or Kristen Dunst.

Bond 25 or 26 would then introduce the new Bond actor as a "tougher and stronger Bond" in order to return the favor on Jinx. Some futuristic cyborg type body replacements to fix Bond after his tangle with Jinx in the previous meeting would also be added. Not only would their be a great revenge story aspect like DAF and a new tougher Bond, but the ultimate Bond gadget: cyborg body parts. Parts of his back would unfold opening up to an array of weapons and gadgets all to the tune of blasting Bond music. There would have to be at least one scene with his hand shredded and the metalic skeletal hand gripping the throat of a baddie (or the hand of a 'conquest'). They might have to move this up to keep from having Berry too old for the role.

To paraphrase:

This idea is so good
Especially because it's so bad......

In all seriousness, if the series were considering bringing back Jinx, then the series really would be in some creative trouble.

[dinovelvet]

Jinx should come back, but only if played by Roger Moore.

[Garth007]

Im sorry but i dont' like the idea very much.

[MicroGlobeOne]

This is a joke, right? Please tell me this is a joke.

[MkB]

I'm speechless... I just can't find the words...

[zencat]

God no.

[DLibrasnow]

God no.

What he said.

[TheSaint]

Jinx can't come back. Since CR was a reboot, all that existed pre-CR no longer exists.

[Red Barchetta]

What's a Jinx? In the new Bond era, there is no Jinx.


Oh, and it's a bad idea. But thanks for throwing it out there- it just doesn't stick.

Yo Mama!! Uhh NO....just NO!!!

I would not say that, it is just a different face and a different timeline, just like everytime BOnd changes an actor - just a little more. It is not different than accepting the fact that Pierce Brosnan cannot be the same Bond that slept with Pussy Galore in 1964.

As for this Jinx idea, the op is clearly joking...or dilisutional.

[Qwerty]

Never.

Ever.

The fact that the M assigning Bond his 00 status and his first mission as a 00 is a woman means that Dr.No-LTK never happened since that M was a man. You can try to shoe horn in Goldeneye-DAD as M is a woman in those films but not the rest. You can't have your cake and eat it, too.

Thank you! You really put a smile on my face and got me on the floor, rolling and laughing. Hilarious!

[Professor Dent]

She had her shot & that ship has sailed - hopefully over a waterfall.

[sharpshooter]

Awful idea. Cringeworthy stuff indeed. Never, ever.

Impossible, since DAD is set in another Bond timeline.

But I wouldn't mind seeing Halle Berry in a Bond movie again. Perhaps she'll be the one to finally put a bullet in the spy and verify his belief that he has a short life span.

[Bondian]

I think it's a fantastic idea.

Bond "My name's Bond, James Bond"

Jinx "My..." <---Nuclear explosion

Think not..."No mama !"

[OmarB]

This can't work on so many levels. As many have pointed out, it can't because it's a different time-line. But if one were to ignore time-line you still have to deal with the fact that the Bond of DAD is a Bond about 25 years into his career (references to him working old cases, him being cognizant of the changing of the guard at m16) as a spy while Bond in CR is Bond at the beginning. So only way she can possibly show up is if somewhere between now and Bond 24 they move the story along quite a few years.

[Mr. Blofeld]

Oh, come on! Jinx coming back as a baddie is as likely as dead Tony Almeida coming back as a baddie on 24!

Oh, wait...

You're a funny man americanbond

Thanks for that

[Zorin Industries]

Is the name of the poster of this thread betraying why this is apparently such a good idea...?!!

HOW ON EARTH WOULD FORGETTING BOTH CONTINUITY AND QUALITY MEAN IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO BRING BACK JINX?!!

[Daddy Bond]

Clearly this was a sarcastic joke. Thanks for the laughs.

[HH007]

Clearly this was a sarcastic joke. Thanks for the laughs.

I was about to say...

Seriously though, I think we're better off just pretending that Jinx never happened.
