We ALL feel that way before our Quantum of Ben Gay.

I like all of the Pierce Brosnan films in the series
Why are things taking so long with James Bond?
Eon and Amazon are indeed having clashes of what to do with the Bond franchise

-One wants keep it close to their chest
- The other wants to dilute it into an MCU/Star Wars franchise and develop content(which apparently it touched a nerve when Amazon reps called Bond "content".)
I had a feeling they don’t want the franchise to be diluted like “Star Wars” did when Disney took over
“young M” series
The early days of Moneypenny
The office type antics of Q branch
Jane Bond exclusively on Amazon Prime
New James Bond cartoon

Amazon/MGM & Barbara Broccoli Fighting Over Next James Bond; Studio Wants “Marvel-Style Spinoffs" — World of Reel
It's been over three years since the last James Bond, “No Time To Die,” was released, and we're still seemingly nowhere near getting another one. A Wall Street Journal report has now revealed some behind the scenes troubles.

Ahem, considering how outlandish some of the older films in the series got I find that statement a bit silly. It already got diluted a lot with entries like YOLT and Moonraker which was the most outlandish Bond
Only that walker has probably got guns in the handles
I think that "diluted" comment is more about spin-offs. That too is a bit odd, as Eon were themselves considering spin-off movies for both Wai Lin and Jinx. Although, they ultimately didn't, so maybe that "diluting" was a fear even back then.
I think spin off movies in the same universe would have given them a lot more material to work with and widened the whole Bond world. I kind of liked the idea. I mean they already did a cartoon set in this universe in the 90s so why not just embrace it and do it.
I would have preferred a Kara Milovy spinoff. In each film installment, she would find herself wandering doe-eyed into yet another international espionage caper, a constant distraction from her successful career as a concert cellist. She would comment, Die Hard 2-style, each time how improbable it was that she kept getting into these crazy situations. Also, at some point in each movie, when Kara again did something reckless but awesome, a male character would be moved to huff in exasperation, "Women!"
Would watch
From Russia with Feces! Three years of unBonding is no reason to connipt on such a trivial subject as the inevitable 29th installment of a halfway-excellent movie series. How come there's no IPCRESS FILE Saturday morning cartoon or BOURNE VASECTOMY survival kit?
I never believed there would be Bond female spinoffs. That includes Jinx, despite the press. The highest-grossing Berry movies are full of mutated nature-freaks, so for her, Bond-style flicks would only offer half as many of them. She had her best direction with the Wachowski Siblings in CLOUD ATLAS.
That being vented, I often wished every single Bond film from RUSSIA WITH LOVE on began with the last heroine asking Bond on the phone ''What do you MEAN you're dumping me?'' In no time it'd become a prolific drinking game.
When I thought up alternate awards and nominations for classic movies I was considering making Lois Maxwell the Susan Lucci of her day, nominating her 14 times, then going up in smoke each time. Yes, that's too cruel. Ultimately I only give her a Best Supporting Actress slot for GOLDSOMETHING, but she lost to Shirley Eaton. Personally, I think her absolute finest high-point is ''The code words are: I love you. Repeat it please,'' from YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE.
I'm all for a FRWL remake, but in the end Stromberg has BOND strapped to the chair and Triple-X has to save him.
All the exploding heads around the globe would be fucking glorious!

As to the contents of my previous post, please understand I am half-dead and heavily medicated.
