A little playful arse slapping wouldn't go amiss to this viewer either. However, that all went out the door during Samantha Bond's time, as she explained in GE. A sexual harassment suit (and a boycott of the film) will probably be the result of such behaviour today.
QOS and SP are fanfictions, nothing more, and I will be unwilling to accept them as official Bond movies from now on. Hopefully Bond 25 will provide a proper ending to Craig's Bond trilogy!
Life must be quite rosy and beautiful on your side of reality.
@jake24 On one hand I was joking, but on the other hand I really do believe it would be for the best if they ignored QOS and SP while making Bond 25.

What in QOS doesn't make sense to you?
Its funny you say that because I choose to believe their hasn’t been a bond film released since 2008....
This somehow represents my school of thought as well.
It helps me to cushion the harsh reality.
Oh we are so clever, look I've been here long before you and I'll be here long after you, your type always burns out eventually, you might be impressing yourself in your bedroom keyboard warrior delusions but I feel not many hear apart from exceptions see right through your own self deluded importance on this forum.
WE?
And the character's arc is unsatisfactory, with her going from field operative to office worker because she wasn't good enough. Things would be a bit different if the film showed Moneypenny was truly in her element working alongside Mallory, helping him manage the MI6 crisis in some way, but instead of that we're mostly just told she feels better working behind a desk rather than being outside.
As for the romantic scene with Bond in Macau, it feels a bit... constrained, as if the filmmakers tried to find some sort of heart to the scene but something got in the way. On a surface level, the elements to make it work are seemingly in place, but deep down, I think we just don't get enough of a sense of Moneypenny as a character to really bring that moment --and her relationship with Bond-- to life. I think she's not developed enough for that scene to exist, but is developed too much for that scene to be taken out.
So having said that, if EON wants to bring back some fun, but also some sincere emotional links to the previous films, director Steven Soderbergh should really be considered for the role. Daniel Craig himself only needs to do a call, and the man is onboard :-).
Lets not get too harsh okay mate you are not that great. What I enjoy about Bond is the character and the story. Thats what keeps me rewatching the films. Hence my favorites are, CR, FRWL, TLD, QOS, and Octopussy. The last two craig outings have lacked a competent plot and that’s why they are disappointing.
Give Bond cigarettes in B25. Or I. Will. Die.
With Eva Green returning as her own twin sister - Vaper Lynd.
