    I knew they’d screw it up. It was inevitable.

    1. Andy

      This is why the broccoli should have been stayed part of the Productions

      1. It was a virtual certainty that Amazon would totally destroy a legend.
        If you doubt me? Go take a look at PRIME VIDEO.

      Totally comical that such an important character in history is not being rewritten to accommodate the new unwritten rules of human behavior. Amazon should have simply made their own suppressed version and should not have attempted to cook a new Bond.

  2. Bruce

    Too many gun images said no one. This will follow the same path as Snow White

      It’ll be totally cr*p! Ian Fleming must be cursing in his grave. Why do they gave to mess with long established characters?!

  3. There goes my Amazon renewal ! I am so tired of woke people forcing there values down our throats.

      I’m “woke” and I don’t see why Bond should change. By all means put the warnings up but don’t fix what is not broken. He has a licnece to kill so of coarse he has a gun. Hero detectives have crutches. Bond is not the first or last drug addict. Holmes is a drug addict too. Keep him drinking and smoking and let him take pulls like the novels. A good character should have weaknesses and Bonds booze addiction is one as is smoking.

    The spy business is mostly very discrete, but occasionally gets very rough. Bond can operate in any environment. The new Bond must be able to do the same. Otherwise, he is not James Bond, Agent 007. This new movie will then be just an everyday espionage drama. Amazon, do not mess this up! Allow Bond to be Bond, you know, a blunt instrument.

    Bond operates in a world filled with megalomaniacs with bases built in volcanoes and their own private stash of nuclear weapons. It’s complete fantasy, as is much of the world he operates in. The women, guns, and attitudes shown are part and parcel of that mid 20th Century fantasy creation. Bringing it up to date with today’s woke approach will be as entertaining as The Exorcist with no swearing, projectile vomit and a demon that invites you in for a cup of tea and a quick game of dominoes. Lose everything that is what makes it what it is and you have just another spy story nobody wants to watch.

    Cubby Broccoli CARED about James Bond, the character, and protected the franchise for 50 yrs. Barbara Broccoli saw the franchise as a way to stay connected to her dad. She was less invested in the character of James Bond and what he represented. Amazon couldn’t give a spit about James Bond. They see it solely as profit potential. So they will chase what they believe to be the largest audience possible – and in the end will create a non-discript generic spy movie that no one will care to see. Ultimately they will make Bond a gelding and the franchise will die a slow painful death.

    So, Amazon bought the rights to make 007: James Bond movies and they’ve already decided to destroy virtually everything recognizable about the character.
    Why wouldn’t you just make spy movies and change the name of the character? As opposed to destroying everything recognizable about a cinematic icon?

    1. Why oh Why does Jeff Bezos and Amazon want to completely Kill Off and Destroy The very BEST Special Agent on Earth JAMES BOND 007 😎 as every single thing over the years that has created such a Fanastic and Iconic Character will completely Die off Immediately if MR GREEDY …..

    Maybe instead of a licence to kill, he’ll have a licence to purple nurple.

    1. Oh crap – I laughed out loud at that one!!!!

    Amazon will fuck up James Bond, it’s going to happen, until the woke virus is killed it will continue to ruin everything we know and love. Look at Star wars for example,they just had to say Luke is a bisexual,they will do the same thing to bond, won’t be surprised if they make him bisexual and black,you know to be inclusive. I know I’m being negative but with the last 4 years in general I’m not too optimistic about the way shit is going.

  12. Cserebogar

    These fuckwits will destroy the character and franchise. They will make his a trangendered pussy boy. Wait n watch!!!

  13. Villain4Change

    I think its good they’re disarming him. We live in a world where all our problems can be solved when we put a diverse group of people together and just talk through the problem. He doesn’t need a gun to stop a bad guy, he just needs to protest his villains. If he sits outside the headquarters with a COEXIST sign Im sure the bad guy will see the errors in his way. Guns and fighting and toxic masculinity only add to the problem. We just have to make sure we add inclusive messaging into the bad guys programs and the problem solves itself. On the other hand it might be a pretty boring movie if this happened.

    Already on my do not watch list based on casting and what I’ve read. Tired of destroying treasures by making new crap and re-editing originals.

  15. A

    The woke changes seem lame. A banana is a banana even when it’s split.

  16. “Fans have been divided: some see it as a modern update for contemporary audiences”

    Just thinking about the guns in James Bond makes me break out in a sweat!!!

    Fans are didvided? MY FANNIE — Ok ONE FAN with 20 piercings and blue hair – was verklempt over the guns EVERYONE ELSE – even aliens on other planets had no problem with James Bond and guns!
    This a wholes JUST NEVER GET IT!!!!

  17. Stan Ellsworth

    I hope it IS a trannie or gay or both. Just like me, the producers are clearly interested as to how this will fly. Invest billions! I want to see how that gamble would play

    1. Jonathon E

      Have fun watching it… alone!

  18. Jonathon E

    They’re going to gay it up and then act surprised when it flops. If I want to watch Bond I’ll get an old dvd set.

  19. Tony

    Next they will remove fists from the Bruce Lee photos and feet from Van Damme photos.

    Did they hire the same people who “updated” Cracker Barrel? That seemed to not go quite as planned. At least they had the sense to correct their path quickly. And who (of us old folks) can remember “new” Coke? Why can’t new management leave well enough alone? Over 60 years ago, my tennis coach taught us all to “never change a winning strategy”. Why must people always mess with success, and feel they need to correct or update what is already winning.
