If pressed, I guess I would additionally argue that the Bond movies (LIKE MANY OTHERS) push this dangerous belief that Things(C)(TM) could be fixed if only certain rugged individuals were not constrained by rules and regulations. This used to be merely "silly" but these days reads more "dangerous."

Of absolutely especially with the amount of action films that depend on the idea of the individual outside any laws whose job is to regulate by killing without regard.

Oh look a thread in which I might relevantly promote my idea for a next generation Bond: an immigrant twenty something boy from Mexico who teaches MI6 that they don't know everything. I haven't been kidding this whole time and I'm still not. He would absolutely dominate that role.

I'd prefer to keep classic Bond as a villain and have him go up against a younger British Pakistani or British Indian agent.
