This is like comparing apples to ammunition here. James Bond and Jason Bourne are both pieces of spy fiction yeah, but their fighting styles and capabilities are quite different. Jason is a killer who improvises and hides in the shadows. Bond is a suave type who sweet talks and while he is a competent fighter, the situations that he's put into are rather idiotically contrived. There's a reason he's perceived as super-capable: MI6 sends him after villains that truly earned their dunce caps with how hilariously idiotic their plans are. There's a reason reviewers like Yahtzee use the phrase "in true Bond Villain idiocy" when they speak about villains shooting their own henchmen for failing. And a $3000 budget, Jason has the advantage there because of said improv skills. Of course, this is assuming they'd even try to fight. Jason just wants peace. Bond just wants to sleep with the women while driving the latest sexy car from (insert luxury car manufacturer here). Unless Bond was sent to kill Bourne for some retarded reason, they'd never cross paths, let alone attack each other unprovoked. If they did get in a fight though, my vote's on the paranoid one. Even if he loses, he'll survive. He died twice already, and survived that.

It actually makes them a truer Bond. Up until Casino Royale, the Bonds in the films were nothing like Ian Flemings original Bond. Which makes Daniel Craig the better Bond.
You queued up a Necro'd topic just to disassemble my sarcastic reply.
Huh. Well, wasn't expecting that.

I've no doubt that Jason Bourne would win if you were arguing on the premise of "realism", but then again, I don't do hypothetical dick-waving contests for characters of pure fiction (no matter how "plausible" they may seem).

Ironically, the original Casino Royale was a comedy, and kind of a weird flick when you look at it.
