Yes, there is definite element of his (Bond) eliminating a significant enemy target as well as exacting revenge for Ferrara's murder at the hands of Locque. It's very easy to lose sight of that fact in the heat of the moment.

@StirredNotShaken, I say amen to that, good sir! :-)
I'd be compelled to say the Bond that they play. As an actor Craig could certainly pull LTK off, but as for the way he's portrayed Bond thus far, I don't think it would be the right fit.
EDIT: Well actually no. I think Dalton has much better chemistry with Davi than Craig would've. I mean of course we'll never tell, but those two actors played off of eachother brilliantly. Certainly one of the best Bond-actor to villain-actor combinations in the series, if not THE best.
Having said that, with all of my love for Brosnan's Bond and Brosnan's films, again, I would never switch out Dalton for anyone else.
Therefore, I disagree with the thesis.
Read what I said about him a few posts up.
I agree with what you said about not wanting to ever switch Dalton out of the role in LTK- frankly, he's the only 007 actor who can pull off such a plot that incredibly well; Brosnan would be the closest second in terms of making LTK work!
Agree. The film would fit Craig's Bond nicely. Although I do believe that maybe Lazenby would've made it work. I guess that's just wishful thinking as DAF should've have been similar to LTK.
I think that all actors who played 007 would be able to do LTK, it is a quite generic episode. And all actors have the skills to do so if they would want it.........
DISAGREE
Yes.
Given how brutal DC's Bond can be? I would agree with the thesis.
Dalton and LTK go hand in hand. As stated by @ShakenNotStirred, Davi and Dalton have some of the best Bond-Villain chemistry in the franchise, and as stated by @thelivingroyale, Craig follows orders, Dalton doesn't.
It would give the actor playing Bond a new angle to explore. I maintain it could work with any of them. Maybe not well or as well as with Dalton, but it could work. To me, the film as it stands is a good showcase for any actor, to gauge what their capabilities are.
I am of the opinion that the tweaking would be much less than any presumption would be.
All of the Actors have shown enough variation and skill in their non-Bond movies to see for everyone that they have enough in their abilities to do LTK credit.
Even Brosnan & Moore are skilled enough to play a darker Bond.
With others, it would have been a "half work" done, I believe.
I just can't see Rog or Pierce pulling it off.
If Rog was in LTK, we would have had popcorn popping sound effects when Krest's head exploded.
