The headline indicates Bond and Men evolving. So, there’s going to be a fundamental ideological change on how the character is going to be presented. Craig’s era made Bond so weak he ended up a passenger in his own films. The future is dim.

If Craig was so weak, how are you not prepared for more to come?

Did you think they would revert to a more 67s/70s era Bond?

That would only happen if the next one fails.

It’s not so much a question of being prepared but of continued dashed optimism. To make it easier for the young team to appreciate, all post-Dalton films could be considered to be of Phase 4 quality.

So if Dalton is "MCU Phase 4" and Craig is "weak".......maybe the problem is you expecting other than what your still cheerleading, like a bad sports team that used to win 50 years ago.

Bond's been dead since 2006 when they tried to go gritty/Bourne style crap.

Don't know why people have suddenly been complaining about it nowadays...........

Bond's been replaced/surpassed by the Mission Impossible franchise.

I liked Daniel Craig, but I found the last four Bond films increasingly dull and dour.
