It is a function of Sean Connery and early Roger Moore Bond's would be easily "me too'ed". I remember a Bond series podcast guest on Dr. No laying the modern boom on the movie. The trashing was so thorough that the fans dropped the podcast and they never made it to the later movies

That's one awkwardly worded sentence, but I got the gist.

I'm not concerned with past Bond films and whether people want to retroactively Me Too them.
I want to know why the director of the new movie said what he said. I assumed it was in reference to No Time to Die.
The last 007 movie is already in the works. It will be titled Grand Finale and in it James Bond will have transitioned to Jane Bond and will be living in retirment in Spain with her male partner. The plot will revolve around her wrongful termination lawsuit against MI6 for gender discrimination. Jane will use her consummate spy craft to spearhead a class action against MI6 which will result in the dissolution of the entire organization as the last bastion of the patriarchy.
I don't really care if they "re-imagine" the character. The franchise needs to do something to stay fresh. Having another suave white guy super spy taking on nefarious organizations with vaguely threatening European accents ... ? Isn't it getting kinda old? If that's what they want to do, then they should just go all out and make the next Bond movies period movies set in the '60s during the height of the Cold War. That might be interesting. But if they are going to keep Bond in the modern era, it is time to rethink everything --- character, plots, etc.
Or (better yet), we could just give Bond a rest for a decade or two and do something new.
Exactly, they need a Black Female. Or get a cisgender black female.
Err, no. That is not at all what I said. I got nothing against a black female super spy. Bring it on. But that wouldn't be Bond. Bond is who Bond is.
of course.
