Before I defend Madeleine and explain why I love her, I ask you to refrain from commenting about her dying in the new movie that is currently in the initial stages of its filming process. Yes, Madeleine is returning in the new movie. The rumors that she is going to get killed off are being spread by tabloids. So please, let's wait and see what happens to her when the movie comes out.
Ever since SPECTRE came out in 2015, Madeleine has received a lot of hate and not enough love. I love Madeleine. She's smart. She dislikes weapons and the life of a killer even though she's been trained to fight. She's a psychologist. She fights in a different way. She fights by helping people treat their mental problems. She also unlocked Bond's heart once again. She also had the guts to attempt to leave Bond towards the end because she saw what remaining romantically involved with him would result in: more violence.
