This is true but also kind of weird, cuz most of the movies anyway seemed to deliberately go out of their way to avoid USSR as the threat, preferring fictional ones (‘SPECTRE’). It’s not obvious why the Cold War should matter to it but I agree it doeshttps://twitter.com/terrorhousemag/status/1445159893304897544 …

I think at least ~1/2 the films had a dynamic where villain's whole thing was 'play the superpowers against each other', get em to nuke each other, whatever. That tension might be what's gone. They've put China in that role in some recent ones but doesn't have the same cachet?

Goldeneye was hence the perfect epilogue to James Bond: it's about a Cold Warrior trying to stay relevant, and finds a mission in 90s Russia. The other Brosnan movies are ridiculous, and Casino Royale tries to do what Goldeneye did but with all the fun squeezed out.

Daniel Craig James Bond works for people who were too young to have watched Austin Powers.
