Casino Royale was the last Bond film that actually stayed true to the character. Instead of continuing on that course, they turned him into an emotional and complex wreck of a person after the death of Vesper Lynd.
Well, that is literary Bond to a "t", and Casino Royale set it up perfectly. The problem was they tethered themselves to continuing that story to varying degrees, and outright retconned things to be like Marvel. The Madeleine Swan storyline is a reboot of his relationship with Tracey. 'Skyfall' came too early in Craig's run, and ruined the trajectory of Craig's tenure.
I think the next Bond needs to be more like Moore or Brosnan. The films need to be lighter and more accessible to a younger audience, or the franchise will die. No need to make it woke, just make it fun again, maybe a little silly. I have really been digging the Moore films on Amazon Prime lately, and as a 90s kid, Brosnan will always have a soft place in my heart.
I say this as someone who also loves Connery and Craig.
