The fitting end also best represented the seriousness and realism heralded in by Craig, abandoning any comedic tropes or one-liners which might have slipped in with previous Bonds.
While alternative outcomes were certainly possible, Bond’s fatal sacrifice fully encapsulates the character’s sense of duty to his country, the world and his love. The ending of No Time To Die, which editors recently said was ' never in doubt,' was widely praised as a fitting send-off for Craig’s iteration.
