I'm sure EON would love to brush it under the carpet, but you can't unsay something like that. I occasionally see Craigskis getting exasperated, saying "why do people keep going on about that?"

until recently slash my wrists comment would be “forgotten” by any press and critic. Amazing how even in passing entertainment news it is repeated.
I think to average movie goers it’s unforgivable, maybe too strong a word but for working class people which is most of the world getting the spare $100-200 for a date/family trip to the movies is tough. Craig made flippant comments in the past about money, then he says he would rather kill himself than play a role 70-100 million people pay money to see, often getting a half finished movie that’s unsatisfying. I think Craig’s comments struck home in a way that was different this time, has to be strange experience for EON when most of what he says is ignored.
The narrative went from Craig being a darling actor who is too good and too sensitive for the role to a grumpy Bas***d who doesn’t appreciates the bond fans.
Also the length of time and delays also play in, plus all the babs generated drama about if wonder Craig would be back, she never noticed the public and press were ready to move on. Especially the press it seems, they are allowing the narrative of ungrateful actor and poor production to get roots.
Also the movie experience changed, babs things her 5-6 year release schedule with poorly planed production is ok. It worked somewhat when she had a formula to follow. But the series in movies since marvel, even lord of the rings and other book series, audiences are used to stories going someplace and at least feeling like they get an experience watching the series I don’t think Craig’s body of work holds up to this
