License to Kill was a bit before its time. Bourne before Bourne was a thing. I think people still wanted the campy Moore era and just weren’t ready for that.
Casino Royale aped the Bourne thing later and was a smash hit.
He was much better as a supermarché owner in any case.
How many times has Bond quit/fired MI-6 at this point? The Craig Bond being a lonely beach boozer was a nice callback but damn dude put on a suit and shoot
