On a scale from Avatar the Last Airbender (“what adaptation?”) to Lockwood and Co (“nearly word-perfect dialogue, the only changes were slight and were certified improvements if anything”) how good was the adaptation of your fave original content?
*Shadow and Bone is the middle ground for (“Substantial changes were made to the original, but I don’t even care cuz goddamn this shit slaps.”)
Asking for SCIENCE.

Reasons Jason Bourne is the superior super spy:
Spends most of the first movie wearing cozy old sweaters
His love interest is nervous talking, pouring out her life story and he's not only genuinely listening but wants her to keep going because he likes hearing her talk
Pours his heart put to HER and is completely honest with her after only knowing her for like an hour
Is happy to give Marie tons of money for helping him
When he first realizes that people are trying to kill him, he tries to send Marie to the police even though it would be bad for him
Everyone in the first movie is like "What's Bourne up to, he must have a genius master plan" but actually he's just so so confused and beating them all on muscle memory alone
When they have to dye Marie's hair for disguise, he actually does it for her and I list this purely because I do not believe that James Bond would do the same
After his love interest dies in the beginning of the second one he goes three whole movies without hooking up with, flirting with or otherwise seducing any other women (yes I'm looking at you, JAMES. But Ethan Hunt is not off the hook either.) (To be clear the MOVIES are just as likely as the other franchises to fridge its female characters, but before they do that Jason himself is gonna be respectful)
He has such a baby face in the first one. Yes he can kill you with his bare hands but he also looks like he calls his mom to help him make doctor appointments
Awkwardly plays with kids on a swingset so his girlfriend can talk to her brother
He's an assassin, sure, but he feels really bad about it

“When you’re longing for the sweet smell of self esteem”
“Glass-bottomed ego, still afloat but can’t you see the cracks appearing in the base”
“I’m leaning in to kiss the past goodbye”
“I caught you talking to the real me”

Is it only me who sees a link between The Bourne Identity and Body Paint. To me both songs touch on Alex's self loathing and use for an alternative identity to cope up with himself

What’s haunting Alex Turner?
In The Bourne identity, Alex Turner spends an entire song addressing his persona head on. 
Tumblr media
In this verse he presents a scene in which he is driving a car (an apt metaphor for leading ones life) but he can’t seem to shake this figure in the backseat who is preventing him from feeling good about himself and his decisions. These two versions of himself are like personas and  throughout the song he explores the tension between the person who he wants to present himself as and the person he knows hismelf to be. In this song Alex can’t help but try to escape the version of himself that he sees as a hinderance, he wants to ‘kiss the past goodbye’ and leave behind the things that are plaguing his ability to move forward. But that is easier said than done and arguably this struggle with his persona’s carries over into other albums. 
In the song Star treatment, Alex reflects on his past in a song dripping with nostalgia. 
Tumblr media
And in the beginning of this verse he returns to the theme of driving this time he embodies the persona he was trying to escape and becomes the apparition. We can always argue about who exactly the ‘you’ Alex is addressing is, it could be someone close to him, the audience or (in my opinion) himself. In this song Alex is once again struggling with the person he wants to be and the person he is, this ghostly figure who can’t be forgotten and who continues to remind Alex of the parts of himself that he wants to hide or metaphorically drive away from. 
Interestingly, this nostalgia is carried forward into the song Jet Skis on the Moat. 
Tumblr media
Here Alex is looking back at the last 30 years of his life and trying to process how any of it happened. Former versions of himself appear before him like ghosts, he sees his AM/rockstar persona, with his abrasive confidence and his quick witted charm, and remembers how much that version of himself was exposed to the glare of celebrity culture. Then he juxtaposes that apparition with this younger version that appears once the show is really over, the one who is vulnerable and childlike and innocent. I feel like he’s having a conversation with his inner child and this contact allows him to realise that he doesn’t have to pretend to be all of the things that his AM/rockstar persona wanted to be. 
These three songs create an interesting timeline, with The Bourne Identity (2016), Star Treatment (2018) and Jet Skis on the Moat (2022) all touching on themes of the past, regret, fame, driving, personas and haunting. What is also interesting is how the way he has written about these ideas has changed over time. Where The Bourne Identity is a song about self loathing and wanting desperately to rid yourself of your bad qualities, Star Treatment is a restrospective song in which Alex conciously becomes the apparition in order to understand himself and Jet Skis is a moment in which Alex meets this ghost and doesn’t try and struggle against himself. Throughout his creative process he finally reaches a point where sees the ghost that has been haunting him without malice and instead with compassion.
