I guess there was time to die, and as so many predicted, be replaced with a female Bond of color. Because... woke.
But it is fitting that Craig went out like that, he seemed to be the only man in the world that didn't want to be James Bond. There was nothing playful about him...
... he was just miserable, and miserable from start to finish. I don't see the draw in watching a depressing 007, and I don't see the draw in watching the inevitable new Politically Correct 007 either.
Neither seem to fit with the franchise.
