Maybe controversially, I didn't like the bit in Cuba, just all of Spectre happened to be there at the same time? Blofeld's eyeball? And Ana de armas was just a ditzy dumbass who might as well have had superpowers, she didn't fit the vibe of the film at all.

It was indeed a tonal lurch, but that's what I loved about it. It was a refreshing bit of levity that showed the self-serious Craig movies could still be fun and even a little goofy at times, without going too over-the-top. Her characterization was also spot-on, contrasting all the veteran hardasses around her by being clearly very talented, yet also new at the job and still nervous / unsure of herself. In hindsight, I personally would not have wanted to see the Ana de Armas character expanded upon, at least in the context of this movie; she was there just long enough to be a breath of fresh air, and that's all that was needed. Would certainly love to see her character return in future movies, though.

Like I said, my only problem with it was the demise of SPECTRE being over and done with in relatively-short fashion. But on the other hand, the meta-commentary as I see it is that the writers knew how badly Spectre (the movie) dropped the ball with SPECTRE, and they were eager to wash their hands of it.
