Nanobots vs infinity stones?
shareThe reality is any nanobot is always going to have a short life span simply because the power of it will fade overtime. It's one of the annoying little bits of reality that movies always ignore when they start using nanobots... a nanobot is really just a very tiny robot that is going to be powered by a very tiny battery which isn't going to last forever. Even if you made one that could recharge itself from solar power all you would need to do it stay in the dark and let it run out of juice... or even if you didn't want to do that it would still have its own rechargeable batter go tits up over time.
shareFalse. They are powered with nuclear isotopes, having basically an infinite lifespan. Wake up, sheeple!
shareAnd if they were powered by nuclear isotopes they would have still have a limited life unless you were using some of the really nasty elements in which case he would have died of radiation poisoning. The amount of shielding to avoid that problem would have eliminated them from being small enough to be nanobots.
shareWell there are many ways to obtain energy from inside a human body but you have a good point.
Also he didn't have to kill himself , he could have just avoided her until they found a cure.
A lot of people miss the point here. He couldn’t just avoid them because whoever he touched (even the briefest touch) would also then become a threat to his family. That’s literally how Blofeld died, because Bond touched Madeleine and then Blofeld. So eventually, no matter what, it would have caught up with his loved ones. It may have taken months/years but it would eventually get to them. The only way would be for Madeleine and her daughter to live in complete, total solitude. But that’s hardly fair on them.
Bond’s body had become a weapon against his family and that’s why he threw the towel in. I didn’t like the ending AT ALL, by the way. I’m merely explaining why “waiting for a cure” wasn’t an option.
Oh i get it, big risk but the entire scenario was very contrived ... Which i think is what most people take issue with.
shareThe whole nanobots moving from one person to the next doesn't really make much sense unless they were programmed to leave the body they were on if it wasn't the one they were supposed to kill. The are machines not bacteria so they aren't going to be replicating themselves like mold on an orange. And if they were programmed to keep jumping from one person to another until they landed on the target they were programmed for why would Bond have needed to worry at all because they would jump from him to any other warm body he came into contact with in search of their target. So stick him in a cold room near a heated blanket and let them all leave his body in search of their target. At the end of the day the whole nanobot angle was stupid because it was so unbelievable... then again, Bond movies moved way into the bullshit realm of fantasy once the first couple were made.
share"The are machines not bacteria so they aren't going to be replicating themselves like mold on an orange."
That is true now, but they are on the horizon. (I'll leave you to do the Googling...)
In Bond movies, the villains usually have technology which is more advanced than what is currently available. For purposes of the script and the movie I think the producers can be allowed that in the same way that audiences accept that Q frequently uses futuristic tech.
Well of aware of self-replicating machines or robots.. but the nasty little thing known as reality pops its head up on this one. These are machines, any motors in those machine will require some amount of iron or other metal and you can't create that from thin air. Unless the little nanobot landed on a meteor they aren't going to be able to harvest enough metal from a human unless they become vampires and start harvesting iron which would cause the host to die.
shareMore fiction than science. Experimental nanobots are biological, mechanical, electric hybrids.
Never computers. Nanotech is 40 years old, very slow progress.
MacGuffin innit. It wouldn't have mattered if they said it was a targeted virus that spread through contact pandemic style - I think that would have had more resonance with a Covid audience, as well as being more believable. I would have gone as far as re-shooting scenes to make it a virus, wouldn't have taken a lot. Actually makes me think it was a virus was and they re-shot for nanobots in case anyone complained!
As for the EMP Bond blew an electronic eyeball up without it blowing the in-ear radio out of his own head. So a very selective EMP anyway.
“As for the EMP Bond blew an electronic eyeball up without it blowing the in-ear radio out of his own head. So a very selective EMP anyway.”
My thoughts entirely.
Yes I spotted that too. The EMP could have been directional though.
shareRemember how the Craig fanboys used to actually call these films 'realistic'? Where are they now? This was the most absurd plot I've ever seen in a Bond movie.
For people who want to make DAD comparisons, you might want to know that the invisible car is actually a real experimental technology that has been demonstrated in real life. Nanobots, on the other hand, are as fake as Craig's Botox-altered face.
Exactly. Everything electronic and nano particle sized in ones system would have been disabled with an EMP blast, I'm not sure why Q wasn't yelling at everyone over the wireless about it.
shareWhy even use an EMP, just have the person lay down and go over them with a strong magnet. If they had tiny motors moving them then they would have to have some part of them that would be subject to a magnetic field. The more you think about this part of the movie the more you are left with the fact that they ignored everything just to contrive a reason for him to kill himself. Quite stupid when self preservation with Bond appears to be a hyper ingrained reflex in him.
shareYes completely contrived.
This always happens when they decide "kill off Bond, just make it happen" before they write thr story.
And we all know why they did it.
I just don't see why they couldn't have just had Bond and the girl driving off into the sunset only to have an assassin drive by and pop one into Bond in a reverse version of His Majesty's Secret Service ending. It would have avoid the ridiculous nanobot shit and at least been plausible. Why they had to try and create some sort of Wrath of Khan ending where he knows he's dying and says goodbye was just a complete crap fest.
shareWhy even die/kill him??
shareFor whatever reason that was the grand plan of the producers. Whether they simply were tired of dealing with Craig and decided if they killed him off they wouldn't feel pressure to cave to his demands or pressured to try and retain him for the next Bond movie, or they were simply hell bent on using his death as a gimmick to try and drum up interest in the series, who knows. But if you were going to kill him at least do it in a plausible way and not by using sharks with lasers attached to their heads.
shareCouldn't they simply have played the Beastie Boys near Bond instead of worrying about EMPs?
