MacGyver vs James Bond

[Neutronman67]

Mcgyver is a quiet loner and not much of a ladies man he is nothing like the other popular hero James Bond who has been in dozens of movies over the past decades but which guy in your theory has a higher risk of getting killed since both guys are always getting into danger ???

I always liked MacGyver better

I am a fan of both MacGyver and James Bond- and both characters have been in life-threatening danger numerous times. MacGyver is totally a ladies' man- while he's not Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang like Bond (um, and I just realized that could be a double entendre though I didn't really mean it to be- but yeah- Bond is clearly seen having sex with numerous women). And MacGyver is generally depicted as remaining chaste (though unfortunately, the series finale does reveal that he apparently had sex outside of marriage and fathered a child at one point.)
In any case, MacGyver has a few gazillion girlfriends over the course of the series. He actually does bear some similarities to James Bond, considering both have a penchant for using gadgets to defeat enemies. The main difference is that Bond has Q think them up for him and he develops them in a lab- whereas MacGyver thinks them up himself and does it on the spur of the moment with whatever materials he happens to have handy. MacGyver's really better than Bond in that regard. In my opinion, he is a bit of a mixture of the resourcefulness and daring of James Bond, but he is also similar to Indiana Jones in many ways- particularly in the cleverness and resourcefulness department. But also in the fact that both Mac and Indy are characters who are a bit more real in some ways- i.e. both are okay with acknowledging pain when they hurt. They don't have to be a macho man hero all the time who is totally unflappable and can never show a bit of weakness. And that makes them more relatable for some people and I like those qualities. (But I love James Bond too- though obviously I don't agree with all of his practices.) In general, I like Bond, Indy and MacGyver.
And as many times as James Bond or Indiana Jones have come close to death, MacGyver has had plenty of close calls too. He's been shot at least three times and survived. He's come close to drowning, being blown to bits with a grenade and numerous bombs, being poisoned, being burned alive, being thrown off a building, falling off a mountain, asyphxiated, and certainly being shot at with guns- just to name a few incidents. So yeah- all three heroes face danger regularly and all three manage to keep eluding death- probably because of luck and their skill and God's providence...- but since these are fictional characters, mainly because the writers want to keep them alive in order to tell further stories.

Mcgyver and Knight Rider never seemed to be the type of guys who can pick up women easily like those two detective cops from Miami Vice James Crockett he had a thing with the ladies that could pull them into bed with him, Ricardo Tubs on the other was a smooth talker which made women attracted to him.

[MacLeaper]

Both MacGyver and Michael Knight had romantic interests in a number of women and the women definitely returned the interest. Of course, the difference between them and Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs is that they never had sex outside of marriage on the show that I can recall. (Michael Knight maybe- I'm not sure- haven't seen any "Knight Rider" in a long while, but I don't recall any such scenes offhand. MacGyver- I have seen every episode many times and I can definitely say that is a "No"- except for the unfortunate revelation in the last episode that I've already mentioned.)

Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs would be the king of all men for being able to seduce and sleep with diff'rent women each night on that show lol

Not in my book. And more importantly- not in God's Book either.
That's a prime reason I don't watch the show. Sex is intended to be an expression of love reserved only for a man and woman bound in holy matrimony. It's also a picture of the passionate love God has for us. (Just read Song of Solomon [aka Song of Songs] to see that.)
