10 Ways That Bond 25 Can Improve On SPECTRE
9. Less Of The MI6 Family
One of the best things about Skyfall and SPECTRE were the MI6 team supporting Bond whether as his superior or as equals- Ralph Fiennes as M, Ben Whishaw as Q, Naomie Harris as Moneypenny and Rory Kinnear as Tanner have been wonderful additions to the series.
But now they are all established, it may be time to scale back their involvement with 007. They have all been intrinsic to the plots of the last two films and foils to a Bond spending more time in London, and battling personal demons.
But to let Craig really shine in what could be his last film, we need to see him out in the field, and his team doing their jobs in London. Before Skyfall, the recurring characters had rarely had such big roles. There's no shame in limiting them to when Bond needs gadgets, debriefs, or orders to ignore.
By breaking away from the patterns that have been in place since 2012, and throwing all the characters out of their comfort zone, we get Bond who receives less help, and concerned friends who aren't able to help as much. M has been under fire from the government for the last few films, but it doesn't necessarily have to be so heavily featured.
The roles of Moneypenny, Q and Tanner have been firmly established, and their fleeting appearances are just what the next film needs. Whilst all 4 actors are incredibly talented, it would be refreshing to see them where they belong, and Bond not being so dependent on them.
