I think the bigger question is which tone the new films will be in. Are they going to continue on the more grounded tone they’ve been doing recently, or will they do some campy nostalgia bait?
god i hope they go back to being campy. the austin powers franchise inflicted generational trauma on bond that they should really deal with.
I believe it was more the success of the Bourne movies that set the tone of the Craig era.
definitely that too, but the franchise owners and Craig have called out austin powers as a catalyst in the past.
I'm not a fan of campy, I love the gritty haunted bond we had with Craig.
Austin powers is fun but it's not interesting (to me).
I grew up starting with GoldenEye which was a strange movie, a little corniness but serious stuff too. I enjoyed the transition to a more serious bond from Brosnans.
