James Bond isn’t a spy; James Bond is an assassin. He only does “spy work” when it’s necessary to find the person he’s been sent to kill. He’s not out stealing secrets and giving those secrets to the government.

He literally introduces himself to every villain by his real name before they even ask

I like the fan theory that says MI6 sends Bond on a mission that require him to cause a bunch of chaos while another spy uses the distraction he creates to gather the really juicy secrets.

Yes, but he’s also still alive. Kinda cancels out and makes him mid.

the actual best spy in the world is probably just some random guy named kevin in accounting

There are many James Bonds. So famous but not all the same person.

James Bond, the worst spy I’ve ever heard of.
But you have heard of him?

He changes completely his face every few years since 1962… there are also some suggestions that it might change ethnicity or gender in the near future too… that is a feat no other spy can claim

I remember an interview where some high level spy was being interviewed and mentioned that the Canadian CSIS was the best spy agency in the world.
When the interviewer questioned why, he said something along the lines of, “Because it’s the only one they haven’t made a movie about”.

I think they kind of knew this early on in the writers room. In the fifth movie “You Only Live Twice” (and the first two were not that famous and well funded) they pretend to kill him at the beginning just to throw his enemies off the scent.

He’s not actually a spy, he’s an intelligence officer.

In the original Casino Royale, There the plot that they just rename every agent to James Bond, even to women.

He’s not a spy at all. He would be an “agent” or an “operative”, but not a “spy”

I’ve heard 2 theories. The first is that James Bond is an alias. The A-Team movie sort of has a joke about it when they say that every CIA agent they’ve met was named Crowley, so even if people know about an agent Bond, there could be multiple “Bonds” and 007 is his actual identifier.
The second theory is that he isn’t a special agent spy, he’s the enforcer. They send him in knowing he’s going to kill a small army and blow up a chemical facility. He’s not grabbing the intel and sneaking out, he’s causing disruption and chaos.

In the Daniel Craig movies, people that dont work for MI6 refer to him as an assassin, which seems more fitting.

The camera man is always spying on James Bond without Bond even realising it, so he must be the greatest spy ever

He’s famous in our world. In James Bond’s world he’s not famous.
James Bond is like Gandalf. If we visit Middle Earth and we see Gandalf in an inn in Bree no one is looking at him, they don’t know who is. He’s just some crusty old dude eating his cheese and pickled onions.
But we’d be going “Look, it’s mother-fucking-Gandalf!” and saying things like “You shall not pass!” and shit like that to him.
