It really is a shame.

He got smacked with

-A writer’s strike destroying the second movie
-Studio financial troubles killing a third for years
-A complete dropping of the ball by creatives in Spectre, just when Skyfall had revived things
-Social justice now making a literal mockery out of his final bow in the role.

In the end, we only really got two good movies out of his time, Casino Royale, and the not perfect, but still awesome Skyfall.

Not too bad a deal, given the former is a legend, and the latter was loved as well, but it’s a far cry from the amazing optimism everyone felt for the future when the Casino Royale end credits rolled.

Quantum of Solace was arguably the best pure action movie of the Daniel Craig era, and is smart enough to not overstay it's welcome as it's also the shortest movie of the era. I genuinely liked, and still like, QoS. The entire trilogy of Casino Royale -> Quantum of Solace -> Skyfall is enjoyable despite the weird tonal and continuity shifts that occur during the sequence.

The whole thing they were setting up with Quantum (originally to replace Spectre because they had not gotten the rights back) was looking like it was going somewhere interesting....until they got the rights to Spectre back and completely abandoned it for something which turned out to be inferior. Spectre is the only real dud of the Craig era and it's a shame that they finally got the rights to that part of the IP back only to completely butcher it with that awful script and direction.

I will be genuinely sad if they ruin the James Bond franchise because for all of it's faults, it's a franchise which has been going for more than 60 years now and has encompassed 24 (official) feature films and 6 different actors. It remains the longest-running active film franchise and has adapted repeatedly to the changes in the world despite starting out during the Cold War before basically everyone posting on this forum were even born and yet always retained it's distinct character, one of which is that James Bond is an inveterate womanizer because he might be dead tomorrow so what is there to lose even? The one time Bond got married, they killed his wife off in the same film to prove that point (On Her Majesty's Secret Service) so unless they plan to do the same thing with Lea Seydoux, they will literally have completely forgotten the entirety of who James Bond even is.

The woke don't even care if it fails. That's how fucking disgusting they are. It's fine for them if it goes woke goes broke, because they get another trophy for their collection, and a prized one at that, the poster boy, James Bond, fucked by intersectionalist dogma. And then they get to blame neckbeards sexists when the franchise is crippled, for extra bonus points.

James A. Lindsay and Peter Boghossian talk about this. Part of the intersectionalist infection requires destroying figureheads. Sometimes it's real people, like when it goes after an institution or hobby. Sometimes it's just iconic spies. Destroy those held in high esteem. It's one of the stages they talk about on occasion.

But i promise, the intersectionalists don't care if it bombs. They hate everything Bond stands for, why would they care? They don't want to fix him, they want to disappear him, and his back catalog. Those responsible will celebrate it bombing. You can read it in some of the comments in this very thread, the utter lack of caring, the subtle condescension at those who care about something as unwoke as Bond.

It's shocking the studios put these people in charge of their franchises. The infection must run deep.

Even if they screw it up and it bombs, they’ll just bring it back with a new actor after some years and we will repeat the cycle again but with different politics of the day.

I don’t think it will bomb. As long as he gets his top off and there are action sequences, general audiences probably won’t care about the politics.

I agree that this is all bullshit though. Bond is a super cool spy that kills people and bangs every woman he meets.

it’s funny, cool, exciting and more than a little tongue in cheek. They should just let it be what it is.

So basically, they are turning Bond into an episode of Sex and the City.

No they blame misogyny and toxic male behavior. Either that or they'll say the market has "Bond fatigue"

I just don't get it. Why butcher a franchise and established characters like this? It's just going to alienate long time fans.

Why can't these woke directors, producers, and executives just make their own IP?

Because they know nobody would go and see that shit. Instead, they propagate their agendas into established franchises that have a fan base for maximum exposure with the added benefit of destroying said franchise. It’s a win win.

wtf that is a real movie lol

In the film ‘M’ interrogates Bond with a series of searching questions on gender issues, from pay inequality to domestic violence. ‘M’ asks: “For someone with such a fondness for women, I wonder if you’ve ever considered what it means to be one?” Bond then appears in a blonde wig, a dress and women’s shoes, in a sequence that is both highly emotional and deeply disturbing. As he/she stands silent, Dench continues to read a list of brutal statistics relating to the role of women and their treatment in our society.

Dress your heroes up in drag and berate them about how they could be better lol.

Despite great advances in women’s rights, statistics show that when it comes to the balance of power between the sexes, equality is far from being a global reality

So despite there being generally great advances in first world countries, we still need to rub men's noses in shit. Female genital mutilation? What is that?

Chill out the video you're talking about was 9 years old....

I think 8 years ago this was tolerable since it wasn't such a huge topic.

These days, they just went to much over it with showing you that YOU ARE THE EVIL WHITE MALE, that it's getting obnoxious.

One more reason to not watch it.

Iam sure the beautiful strong black woman would be easily downed by Bond in a fight. She would be easily downed by a black Bond as well.

I wouldnt be surprised if the movie is going to bomb now

Jesus H Christ I thought he was joking. Welp I’m out. I’d have been out 8 years ago if I’d have seen this.

Progressivism has achieved what a hundred bond villains could not, Bond is dead.

9 years old that video came out. It was for 2011 international Women's day and I don't see a problem with it. It came a long time before the metoo movement and way before it was woke for the sake of being woke.

Did you enjoy Skyfall or Spectre?
Well then congratulations you've enjoyed a bond film despite being it being "progressive" and you didn't realise it.

Oh that makes it a lot better then my mistake.

Whining about a 2 minute video from 9 years old... ya how very resetera of you.

I'm sorry for 'ruining' bond for you guys but if you're going to go on the "UGH woke" bandwagon then at least get your facts straight. That video has nothing to do with this new bond film nor had it anything to do with the last 2 bond films. Bond survived just fine....:D

No.

But that had nothing to do with Bond crossdressing in this video...
My point is that people are bringing this up and saying because of this video bond is ruined and bond is progressive not realizing the video is so old.

9 years this video was. Bond survived just fine.

| agree with your previous post and maybe you said it better than me :)

Why buying the whole cow if you just want a glass of milk.
Seems our male power fantasy has always been just a little cuck that wanted nothing else than get married to a strong woman.
