Fucking co-signed! It was a terrible look even if you don’t hate skinny suits. His were tailored to be too small in spots so he would look more muscular but instead he just looked like he needed a new wardrobe.

Right? Like, it doesn't actually make his muscles stand out; it makes it seem like he doesn't know what a properly fitted suit is supposed to look like, which undermines the debonair spy vibe.

The point is that Craig!Bond *isn't* supposed to be a debonair spy. That is not the version of Bond that Craig was playing. He took a different angle - the whole idea is that he's basically a thug with a veneer of sophistication over him. They wanted to play up the power and intensity and violence of the character.

First: did you know that you can change the dropdown from Casual HTML to Markdown, which will make it so that the asterisks actually italicize things? I discovered this a month or so ago and it was a gamechanger.

Second, while that's a good point, I don't think having ill-fitting suits succeeded in making it. He doesn't look like a thug; he just looks like he's a poor dresser.

Yep, and those ill-fitting suits look especially tight around the shoulders and armholes which catch or hamper your range of motion, so it isn't even like a character decision that would give him an edge in a fight.

I'm not using asterisks because I want to italicize things. If I wanted to italicize things, I would use HTML and do it. I'm using asterisks because I want to use asterisks to emphasize things.

And second... yeah, that's fair! You don't have to like what they were going for, or think that they pulled it off. I just think it was an intentional choice to make him not a debonair spy.
