Vesper Lynd is consistently raked as the best Bond girl in most polls after CR was released. But what makes her so special? Some of the reasons I have heard:
She had a job: So what? We have seen Bond girls doing a variety of jobs, from shell-diver to psychologist.
She had depth of character: Yes, she was forced to cheat Bond and her country for traitor boyfriend. It doesn’t strike me as ‘depth’.
She did not wear bikini and hence her purpose was not providing voyeuristic gratification for men: True, to certain extent but she wore plenty of exposing dresses and nd Bond himself fulfilled the duty rather well.
Bond felt genuine love for her: Is that exactly a qualification?
Eva Green is very beautiful: I can not think of any not-so-good- looking Bond girl.
What makes her better or stronger than, say, Camille Montes whose backstory is more fleshed out, had only a professional relationship Bond and did not even sleep with him?
