    Actors age out of roles, so you should be changing the world with each movie…

    Counterpoint: James Bond has been chugging along for sixty years. Some are better than others, but the basic outline is the same for almost every Bond movie, and it’s still a prestige franchise.

      Except for a select few movies, there’s no continuity in the James Bond franchise.

      Marvel wanted a sandbox to play in with established and maintained continuity, that’s what a cinematic universe is. The main problem is that they’re not following up on the continuity, or rather not letting the world actually change.
