When are these people going to learn that no one wants to see every fictional character remolded to fit "this week's attitudes"?
Even in the 1950s, when Bond first arrived, he was the antithesis of that era's morals -- an era when the nuclear family and marital fidelity were the backbone of society (and this is one reason why his character appealed to men,
and women).
The character of James Bond has never lived a lifestyle I personally approve of -- but that's not the point. His ego, his ruthlessness, his fondness for cigarettes are hard liquor and womanizing are part of what make the character
interesting.
Society has changed since Bond's character was created, but the idea of a James Bond who is woke, and "in touch with his feelings" makes as much sense as a James Bond who is a faithful suburban husband and teetotaler.
But remember, we live in an era in which college students are given coloring books and puppies to help alleviate the "trauma" of a presidential election which didn't go their way.
