James Bond is dead, he died in the closing minutes of No Time To Die though many would say the death happened earlier. However thanks to the ever corrupting influence of money the corpse will be resurrected made to wear a dress and call itself Shirley and tell you it’s preferred pronouns , it will dance to the agenda beat and apologise for ever existing in the first place.
For those unaware this Cinema Issues article is about Amazon buying out the few remaining guard rails on the James Bond IP so they now have complete and utter access to it. Those of you savvy may think ha-ha Jenifer Salke is out at Amazon the rape of the IP won’t happen, the woman who said that she deliberately ignores the male audience for these properties in order to put female characters centre focus and feminise the brand is gone. Her trailblazers a mix of bitter nobodies with shows soon to be seen the axe, however, I say to you her ideas didn’t come from her, oh no she may have believed similar things, but those pushing through the agenda are far higher and she is but a cog in a machine.
As of the moment of writing this, a month or maybe two since all this went down it is clear that the rape is still coming even without Salke. For a start Amy Pascal is being brought in to Shepard the project forward, yes the alleged coke fiend who once threw a sandwich a Kevin Feige and one of the many voices behind the failed Venomverse. Follow that up with the rumoured goodies that Amazon is going to try and threaten us with over the coming years including an American spin off on Bond, without any of the British charm, a Money Penny series as we need to see the inner lives and no doubt lewd moments of Bond’s secretary, and of course the all important female Bond rebrand, when they get rid of that evil and sickening straight white lead and replace him with a young queer woman of colour who can do everything Bond ever could with ease. Janine Bond can save the day from the evil industrialist, or religious leader, whilst still having enough time to fly carbon neutral and also attack the terfs.
All of these projects would cost Amazon money and further damage the brand and push away fans, but possibly the thing that could kill it would be to do a new Bond film with a man, and have him spend the whole time being brow beaten and told how incompetent and bad he is whilst he apologises and says yes I am awful, that truly would kill the brand stone dead.
I have never counted Bond amongst beloved franchises of mine, I have seen most of them and some of them are better than others, but writing about this as someone who is a student of cinema and someone who is British the death of this franchise which seems all but certain if these are the plans, could forever change Hollywood for the worse
