A James Bond TV show for a streaming service in 2025 is gonna be insufferable. Just 10 episodes of a guy that doesn't call himself either James Bond or 007 yet and then in the final episode, he orders a martini, shaken not stirred, and we all politely clap and Season 2 takes 5 years to come out
Comments
60s reboot sounds cool, but that 'Bond' will seem deeply misogynistic and possibly borderline racist to today's audiences if depicted correctly. (See Mad Men for how to show one of those characters accurately)
Likewise, they'd *love* a period accurate racist and sexist Bond.
He only becomes 007 again in the two part season finale.
It's then cancelled
That's a great final 30 seconds, but the entire rest of the season would be dire.
Or they could've gone with Atomic Blonde instead.
Like squid games season 2 split in 2 and pretend is season 3.
I hate it all. Including Fake Bond.
I mean, Musk is practically a real life Hugo Drax.
Now, may Bond rest in peace, as I will never watch a 'Temu Bond'.
because in the end, it's all about the money!
so sad
We shall call you James Bond
*Music swells*
But also being in 2025, because one prominent character is a woman /not white, the show is declared “woke”. This leaves the intended audience, mostly 50+ year old white men, to complain about it nonstop and call it a failure in the comments of any post about it for all of time
You follow 11 supervilains who bring superstallinism. Each episode, one of them is jailed. Everyone is getting suspicious. Last episode, you follow one of them, paranoid, trying to kill the other, only to win, then get handcuffed by the janitor, drinking a martini.
Of course any real Fleming-accurate version would be mostly a cooking show illustrating various ways to prepare scrambled eggs
Yes, really.
I wish I was making that up.
JB: Jimmy Bond, Lt. Commander, her Majesty's Royal Navy, reporting for duty.
MP: Alright Lt. Bond, report to Commander Cue in the engine room. He's working a new engine propeller. Needs a hand."
JB: What's your name?
MP: Penny. Moneypenny.
An in-name-only rug pull that's only aim is to "subvert your expectations"
A shameless nostalgia grab remake of the original film with anything remotely edgy focus group'd out, full of surface level references to the series history
*glares at Castlevania waiting 2 seasons to put a bit of actual Castlevania music in*
still one of the best animated shows I've ever seen, and might be THE best video game adaptation. (Fallout and Arcane are very close runner-ups)
And, no, a 56" TV is not the Big Screen.
