it's not like it was his decision to take the franchise in the current direction
Ironically it was Austen Powers fault because the Bond execs found the parody too on the nose at times so went the "dark and gritty" reboot that was the Craig films. The parody only came about because of the increasing incredulity over the years so the franchise still did it to itself in a very long and roundabout way.
Meh, James Bond is already bad. Daniel Craig is bad Bond but it's not like it was his decision to take the franchise in the current direction.
Amazon either makes it worse to the point it will be comically bad or change directions. Either way it is better then the current Bond.
