I mean with so many movies, I would say it doesn't matter at this point. I basically have always just rewatched the old ones. Not every old one holds up, but they have created so many quality Bond movies and games that I can just go back and get my fix again.

I would also argue that the concept of Bond is very out of date and doesn't hold up in a modern setting. Its so fantastical and is basically middle age dude fantasy. Especially the aspects where young women just throw themselves at this older man. I did appreciate how the later Craig films seemed to acknowledge a need to move away from this. With partners he actually loved and female characters that carried over multiple movies.

Really, it might just be time for the series to die and that is okay.
