It's who we need right now, I wish there was a real one.

Oh yes! We certainly do

Copenhagenoffice · 11/03/2022 20:58

Lord of the Rings I keep thinking. We need some brave little Hobbits Sad

confusedftb · 11/03/2022 21:02

Agree. Could do with Superman too about now, please.

1FootInTheRave · 11/03/2022 21:06

Do we not have one?

I thought that's what mi5/6/secret service was all about.

BlueFlavour · 11/03/2022 21:07

We must have one surely?

TangMustang · 11/03/2022 21:08

I’d rather we had a real Jack Bauer. He’d get the job done.

nocoolnamesleft · 11/03/2022 21:08

Right now we don't need a James Bond. We need a successful Colonel von Stauffenberg.

MadameTuffington2 · 11/03/2022 21:09

Indeed, where is 007 when a crazed Russian needs to be swiftly taken out? 🔫

Porfre · 11/03/2022 21:09

It just makes it more difficult to watch the superhero movies- where everything gets neatly wrapped up, and rarely anyone dies.

the80sweregreat · 11/03/2022 21:14

We need them all !
A collaboration of super heroes to save the day

If there is one then he/she would only act on the orders of M who would be carrying out the wishes of HM Govt. World leaders don't get assassinated except by their own.

BlueFlavour · 11/03/2022 21:26

He could go rogue @Pedallleur

I have been saying that too!

Someone needs to take him out. Might as well be Jack, although he may need 24 days.

Yeah but then something else would go wrong because the invasion of Ukraine would be just the tip of the iceberg. Gotta fill those 24 hours! And LA got nuked on Jack's watch...

He would be in and out unnoticed so that nobody knew whodunnit.

We need Ace Rimmer.

BlueFlavour · 11/03/2022 21:50

Jason Statham would do. Especially if he teamed up with the Rock.

tiredanddangerous · 11/03/2022 21:51

Yy to jack Bauer. Maybe some kind of Bauer/Bond hybrid?

Pedallleur · 11/03/2022 21:54

Lots of assumption 007 is male, but those Russians seem to like a mistress/girlfriend so prob that would be the way. Femme fatales like Col Onatopp or the Halle Berry character seemed to do ok. And there was the new agent in the latest Bond film

MissAngorian · 11/03/2022 21:57

@Flyonawalk

We need Ace Rimmer.
And an adequate amount of kippers.
Pedallleur · 11/03/2022 22:00

There was Denzel in The Equalizer. He demonstrated his skills with Russian 'businessmen'

CockingASnook · 11/03/2022 22:04

I think John Wick would be my pick. Bond was always too easily distracted from the task in hand.

AutumnWinterWardrobe · 11/03/2022 22:25

Tone deaf thread.

How privileged we are.

Flyonawalk · 11/03/2022 22:35

@MissAngorian you made me laugh out loud!

Blinkingbatshit · 11/03/2022 22:40

Oh @AutumnWinterWardrobe, I sort of see what you’re saying but I think many, many in a lighter hearted moment, whilst contemplating the hideous clusterfuck that is unfolding have thought - if only…. If only there was some being who could sort this out with minimal loss of life, saving millions in the process. Don’t begrudge people wishing for that outcome, even if it is a fantasy.
