Any film series needs to be constantly innovated to appeal to modern audiences and avoid rigidity, especially with the James Bond series.
Today, the 007 series of movies has been around for nearly 60 years, but is still at the forefront of popular culture.
The film industry's most mysterious agent has undergone many iterations, and if Daniel Craig's 007 is no different from the character played by Sean Connery, the audience may have lost interest in Bond.
Each Bond actor brings a new element that represents the era in which we live.
Of course, the "Bond Girl" around Bond has also become a major feature of the 007 movie. Most of the time, they have a brief relationship with Bond.
However, for Bond's mission, they are dispensable, usually playing the role of "vase".
Kinks (Hallie Berry) in 007, Wespar Lind (Eva Green) in Casino Royale, and Madeleine Swann (Leia Saidu), who will return in Time to Die, are a few exceptions.
Germain Atten's role as Sketchberry Fields in 007: Quantum of Solace became an insider joke.
Recently, she admitted regretting taking on the role, but also said it was a springboard for her later acting career.
"When I first entered the show business, I was a poor egg, and I was very happy to have a job to support myself.
"I was criticized for being a bang girl in Quantum of Crises, but I was 21 years old and had a lot of student loans to pay back. And you know, it's a 007 movie!
"Over time, I realized that it was a mistake to be a Bang Girl..."
In order to reinforce Bond's heroic role, the 007 film seems to be deliberately weakening the female characters and making them superficial.
Although 25 007 films have been released, the number of Bond girls killed in the film has exceeded this number.
Monica Bellucci in 007: Ghost Party was praised for being older than Daniel Craig.
However, 007: No Time to Die seems to have made some major changes, introducing female Bond.
Do you think the 007 film can pass the Bechdel Test?
