There's a debate within James Bond fandom. Some believe Eon Productions is taking too long to move on from the Daniel Craig era. When will Bond 26 come out?
Others respond such fans are entitled and have no business second-guessing Eon. Eon belongs to its owners. The company is to do with what they will.
A few thoughts:
--Eon's principals, Barbara Broccoli and her half-brother Michael G. Wilson, are public figures. They are prominent movie producers who control a major "intellectual property." Their work as producers is fair game for comment. That's true for actors, writers, directors, etc.
--There is a strain of Bond fandom, I have (mostly jokingly) referred to as FOE: Friends of Eon. At FOE, Eon is above criticism or even basic analysis.
-- The question is what is worse: Complaints from "entitled" fans or no comments. The former indicates many still care. The latter is a sign that interest may be waning.
