Matthew Anderson4 said:I agree—though that’s entirely dependent on your own personal take. For me, even Pierce Brosnan isn't quite the definitive Bond; I still lean toward Sean Connery, though when I see him on screen now, I don't immediately associate him with the character anymore.

Well, that's likely because Connery built such an incredibly diverse filmography—we're talking massive, career-defining roles—leaving behind a much more substantial legacy outside of his time as Bond.🙂

That being said, having a wide range shouldn't necessarily disqualify someone from being seen as the quintessential embodiment of a role they once mastered.🙂

I mean, who else could possibly match this music when you consider everything Christopher Reeve brought to the role? 👍 (This might sound extreme, but this is hands down my absolute favorite score from any superhero movie ever, seriously...) 😁:

And it's not just about Superman—Reeve was, is, and always will be an icon for pretty much every superhero out there.

P.S: Superman was my first hero and remains my all-time favorite to this day. I'll go through the whole list if someone tries to tell me that new Man of Steel (2013) guy is better, though without this music, half the movie is already lost to me (not that I even need to mention Reeve's impact)... anyway, we'll see. I'm waiting for it like a man dying of thirst. Someone actually has to make a great Superman after the Reeve era, and God willing, let this next one be the one... 🙂

🙏 👍

Since we're talking about Pierce Brosnan, it would be awesome to run a poll to see which actor you think captures the essence of James Bond best, or just who your all-time favorite Bond is. That would be pretty fun to see...

Honestly, that whole debate about who the greatest James Bond has ever been was settled ages ago, and I suppose it’s probably best if we don't go cluttering up this specific discussion with it.

Christopher Reeve as Superman was just legendary.
Robert Downey Jr. really nailed that role as Tony Stark. Seeing him step into the suit as Iron Man was just perfect.
Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.
Thomas Jane as Punisher.

It’s definitely Robert Downey Jr.
I’m totally on board with everything the OP said about him.
RDJ is the GOAT, period. People just don't 🙏

edit—just watching this video, and man, 😍 😍

👍 He’s standing on completely equal footing with Reev in this poll 🙂 which really just proves how much of a permanent mark he left on the role of Iron Man.
