The Broccolis were slow but at least they could put out stuff like Skyfall. Amazon isn’t making anything good. There’s no reason to expect that what they do with Bond will be any better than their Lord of the Rings show or stuff like that.

When they first started and were chasing awards they put out some bangers by rolling up to old ninties indie filmakers with a truck full of cash. It got us Lost City of Z by Grey, You Were Never Really Here by Ramsay, and Love and Friendship by Stillman all of which are good to great.

The Boys is so dissimilar to the source material as to essentially be an original production.

Hopefully they can and should just ignore reality and tell a real story. Who gives a poo poo of the ending isn’t real. The boys isn’t a documentary lol

I think the bigger problem is that the show has maybe three solid characters left. So many bungled arcs.

Midjack posted:Bezos can cast himself as Blofeld. Yes but Blofeld is actually the good guy, a cool and handsome billionaire that is trying to help humanity. But a secret society is trying to seize control of his labor force and siphon away all his money. Can Bond save Blofeld, and the world, from The Union?

God willing someone at Amazon takes it as a pet project and we get some quality films, otherwise I always have the YRF films. I'm in the same frame of mind as this. Reacher is dumb fun, Fallout was enjoyable, Mr. and Mrs. Smith was actually really good. I didn't see it but I've heard Saltburn was very good, unfortunately that's the end of good movies that I've seen them make, but Spectre, No Time to Die, and even Skyfall were just okay, so I'm not going to assume it's going to be complete poo poo, but hoping that it's at least at the same level we're at already which isn't that high of a bar. Give me a Bond movie set in the 50's, or a 00 series continuing Lashana Lynch's character, I'm at least tentatively in. In fairness I thought the same about the Lord of the Rings getting bought by them and  so I'm not holding my breath either.

Amazon now have either some or full control of two of the biggest media franchises on earth and they've totally squandered one and their biggest attempt at the other, that atrocious game-show thing, doesn't bode well for the second.

I worry Bond on Amazon will lead to a bunch of mediocre spin off shows and movies that aren’t good enough to be theatrical releases. Would love to be wrong.

We should be so lucky. With that approach one of them might actually be good. Instead, we'll get a bad TV show and a bad movie series that peters out after 2 flicks before being rebooted again. Bond will be an actor who was carefully calculated to provide as much buzz as possible even if they're not right for the job, which means that they'll look at fan casting and Tom Hiddleston's phone is about to ring. The movie will chase MCU humor and grey action slop, and the TV series will focus on MI6 as an organization and chase the NCIS audience. They will offer $500m to the Russos to spearhead both. Neither will feel anything like Bond, but they will look very handsome and expensive. Marketing will insist that they are going back to the source material to channel Flemming's vision, by which they actually mean that they want to remove all compelling aspects of the series that the Broccolis brought to the table.

Although an episodic bond show could be kinda badass. 2 episode arcs max. Just bond doing cool adventures for an hour. Some episodes are badass high octane save the world plots and others can just be Bond having a very cool conversation with a villain to the death. I know it won’t be anything like that but I’d be into it

The Dynamite comic book series is close to what I imagine a good Bond TV show could be. It runs the gamut from the expected high production value bombastic action set pieces to more focused character studies. Although it's not very serial, as each story is its own volume with a different creative team, and pretty much every show nowadays has to have overarching plots and development.

It's going to be said when we get our first movie that's just called like Bond: Revelations, instead of having every movie given it's own unique, unbranded, title.

Goldfinger knows Locque, who once dated Mary Goodnight, who is also the estranged niece of Nick-Nack, third cousin to Quarrel. As it turns out, everyone in the Bond universe is related to or knows everyone else. What a coincidence!

Fallout, Wheel of Time (season 1 is hurt because of Covid filming issues, Season 2 is fantastic, and season 3 looks great) Reacher of course, there's a few things. Mr. And Ms. Smith is not good though, and makes me like DG less, which is impressive considering he's great. I also wonder if Amazon taking over will mean that Omega watches will be devalued. Bond was teetering on being not cool in the last ten years, and Amazon buying him instantly makes him less cool.
