James Bond
Is the best James Bond property GoldenEye 64? Probably not, but it's at least a worthwhile conversation. A great trick the Bond franchise has pulled off is getting people really hyped for movies even if the Bond movie isn't a Bond movie or they rolled out one of the super lame Bond villains. All that style and flash and irresistible British Empire nostalgia gets us ramped up every time, letting us forget really dark deeds 007 has done while we wonder in vain when a woman can be James Bond. Still, when the movies are good, they sure are fun. Especially if you turn your math brain off.
