Respectfully, I disagree on the "woke" solution. This is my opinion.
It makes sense that a bond villain became a villain because, well he was excluded his whole life, likely due social exclusion.
How like life, no? In real life, there are teenagers that are socially ostracized due to looks, family background, race, hell even made of fun of because they have an Android phone (And bullying is actively encouraged by Apple's technology), and this mounts to them villians, with some buckling under the pressure to the point of committing heinous crimes or becoming the instigators of great tragedies like mass murders.
The conclusion you are _supposed_ to come to is: "Stop being a dick to people, especially those that are physically different, those that disagree with you (politically, religiously, etc), those that are 'weird' or share different social customs. This prevents people from going down a path of darkness. This entire storyline was preventable." I literally was thinking that as I exited the theater from the latest Daniel Craig movie.
Instead we've arrived at: "Don't portray anyone as bad" and then people move the 'being a dick' to behind closed doors amongst their peers, usually in their closed off echo chambers, villainizing anyone that dares to disagree with them in public. Hypocrites.
And I do understand the other side of this. Repeatedly and conssitently villianizing a single identity (wheelchair user, black person, disfigured person, etc) is a weak form of writing. But come on.
