I didn't say Mr. White (if he's the guy who was in Bond's trunk) fucked up the back story. And I'm all for his slippery ass being the face of the mysterious Quantum.

I disagree. Other Bond films have implied that he is the way he is because of a woman. This Bond film spent a lot of time on whether Vesper did or did not betray him. And even though Bond says and acts like he doesn't care and wasn't out for vengeance (and that he never left M), I think we all know better. He loved Vesper. He found out she loved him and was trying to protect him, not betray him. But now he has nothing but the job. Maybe he's got that anger in him from losing everything. Who knows?
Anyway, you're right about one thing. Enough of this shit.
