If the Bond franchise moves forward with it's plan to replace Bond with a female, it will be the end of the franchise I predict. Most Bond fans are pretty picky about who plays Bond and tend to have started watching with the early films. As much as I have loved Daniel Craig as Bond, I feel the whole franchise lost something when it chose to completely remove all humor. The old films were cool, sexy and hilarious (especially Moore films) and this newest adaptation was just cold and brutal with zero humor, I mean not even an animal gag. I miss the old Bond!
Bond relies on his skills to get the job done, not gadgets
While there is an armourer and the Q Branch in the novels, they really don’t do much other than supply guns and other reasonable equipment. In fact, he comments in the books several times that he wishes his service had the capital to have an armoury like the Russians, or the equipment and cash of the CIA.
The whole ‘Q gives Bond a plethora of weapons, gadgets hidden inside things, and deus-ex-machina-type thingamajigs’ is just purely the invention of the studio and the writers.
It’s a shame, really.
