SHOP EXCLUSIVE SUBSCRIBE If—well, hopefully when—you see The Rescue, the long-awaited National Geographic documentary on the 2018 Tham Luang cave rescue, you might be especially struck by the refrain of one simple virtue. It's one that embodies nearly every person who volunteered to save the 12 boys who visited the sprawling cave after soccer practice, with one of their coaches, when it suddenly flooded, igniting a 17-day-long effort to save them.

Taking a page or three from Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy as well as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the films imagine Bond in rote terms that drain him of his vital uniqueness, and fashion a mythic interconnected narrative that doesn't suit his fundamental spirit. In trying to hitch their post to current cinematic trends, they undercut the very qualities that make Bond so exceptional, and entertaining, in the first place.
