I assume you are talking about the James Bond archetype and not Pic Related.
Andrew Clark

if you do it naturally and don't think too much about it, yes

It's easy for a man to bulk up and beat the shit out of people to get respect. It's harder for a man to gain respect purely through his dignity, authority, and intelligence.
Therefore, I respect the latter more, because it is more worth respecting. Any man can be buff and strong physically, but few men can be that strong in mind.

True Words.
I prefer characters who have a bid of both - but not to an extreme extent, like oldschool James Bond.
Landon Mitchell
Patrick Stewart is the TRUE peak of masculinity.

Both. The Ancient Greeks knew it.

A Conan meets Dr. Xavier kind of character is too much. Borderline Mary Sue.

"le esteemed and enlightened intellectual" is overused and done to death.
I just want a He-man to club a sorcerer faggot over the head with axe, see his head split open, have his brain matter sprayed all over the screen, pure unadulterated testosterone and adrenaline, and absolute slaughter and carnage.
Chaos Warrior of Warhammer had the right idea. "You are what you do in life, and the Gods hate the weak."

The "James Bond archetype" is as much a reality as Superman.

I don't see a problem with a type of character that you can only aspire to become.
When was the last time you saw a movie and thought: Damn, I want to be like that guy?!
Modern movie characters don't inspire you for shit.
Mason Young
Name one Gigachad in fiction. Preferrably a protagonist. Or an antagonist.
