Jack Ryan > Jason Bourne >>>> James Bond.
Iâve never enjoyed any of the Bond films to be honest: Over the top, misogynistic, one dimensional sociopath. Plus all those god awful sexual innuendos and puns. Replace any of the âBond girlsâ with Barbara Windsor and youâre left with just another Carry On flick.

By plot: Bioshock 1>Bioshock 2>>>Bioshock Infinite>>>>>>>>Burial at Sea
By gameplay: Bioshock 2>Bioshock 1>>>>>>>>>>>>Bioshock Infinite>Burial at Sea
Burial at Sea is utterly atrocious and a terrible finale for both Infinite and Bioshock 1. Havenât played Minervaâs Den, I hear that is pretty good, even if the devs of that made Gone Home which I think is very overhyped.

not defending bond in the slightest, but isnât jack ryan, like, a tom clancy creationâŚ?
He is, but please expand?
Season 2 of The Wire is the best season.

jack ryan is a character in hunt for red october, patriot games, clear and present danger and others, isnât he? they were all written by tom clancy; right-wing reaganite whose books are full of the worst kind of jingoism and racist stereotypes, and read like technically accurate american propaganda.
i thought this was a pretty popular opinion. itâs wrong, but popular.

Oh yeah, I know Clancy was a scumbag (so was Fleming) but the character of Jack Ryan himself is pretty ethical, patriotic yes, but no way near as bad as Bond.

I donât think this is even contested.
Can you give specific examples, as in a specific joke that you found hilarious but other people found offensive, this makes it easier to unbox and negotiate if something is actually offensive. Itâs really hard to do with all of these vague generalities. I feel this is a complaint in a lot of alt-right, 4chan-esque circles but like many other things in todayâs world, are never substantiated.

Found this scene pretty funny in Get Hard. The stereotypes are handled in the most hilarious way imaginable. Iâm sure some people will be offended by things like this.
But this whole thing comes down to personal taste. I want to add that its not only racial jokes I was referring to (before Iâm pictured as a racist, which Iâm not). Itâs hard to name more appropriate examples, since most come down to context, subject, the person telling the joke, etc. Litterly anything can be turned into a joke if you ask me. Also serves as a coping mechanism if you will.
I want to wrap up this post by saying that it wasnât my intention to harm anyone in any way. I guess my wording doesnât justify what I had in mind. Anyway, Iâm far from a sexist, racist, hatefull person. I just like to use humor to cope with sensitive themes and turn them into something funny. Not everyones cup of tea ofcourse, and I respect that.
Do you think somebody like Sarah Silverman can be found offensive?
Donât know her but everyone can be offensive if they use a poor choice of words
Reading this thread:
Screw it, lets add to this: George Lazenby isnât a bad Bond. Both the film and novel On Her Majestyâs Secret Service are masterpieces. Octopussy is severely underrated.

Nah, but it definitely does not deserve all the hate
