James Bond is not the same person that he used to be, but as Amazon and Barbara Broccoli all want to update him for a modern audience, can we preserve what James Bond was? Even in the movies seen as a throw back man from a by gone age, the message was always, that's a good thing. He was the hero the world needed, because the modernisation of the world was wrong. Yet that changed with Daniel Craig as he was deconstructed as a character, and reduced to the level of whiny and crying. James Bond in Daniel Craig's form already couldn't fulfil the job he was intended for. What will the future hold as Amazon wants to spin off the frachise, while Barbara doesn't like Amazon's ideas, yet doesn't have any better ideas herself. Bond is trapped in a deadlock between 2 awful forces, where the best outcome for him ironically, as that the stalemate remains for as long as possible. But what do you think of of the future for Bond? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
Daniel Craig emotions and feelings as Bond? Where? I've seen a motionless face from him through whatever movies I've seen of him, Casino Royal and Skyfall. It was really bad cardboard cut out acting. A piece of lumber. So bad in fact that except for those two, I refused to watch ANY of his other interpretations coz it's not James Bond. It's a bland version of Jason Bourne.
I took his Bond to be when he first was hired, but then as the movies went on it seemed to jump ahead in his career, but he seemed not to really learn anything by what happened to him. I'd like a Bond who looks like he knows what he's doing. As a fan of Bond who is a woman, I like the evolution of the Bond girl from being simply arm candy to someone who is smart and beautiful, but not the evolution of Bond himself. Keep him sexist. He's got to have some flaws, that is a known flaw of his. He's stoic, also. We shouldn't be able to know what he's feeling. He's a spy.
Why does that seem like a mantra that Optimus Prime and Megatron can get onboard with...? Hell, that might explain how Megatron puts up with Starscream...
As a woman, I absolutely adore the Bond books. Which is why I must say- Keep Jennifer Salke as far from James Bond as humanly possible. He's going to start asking why a boat floats and the stone doesn't!!
Yeah, making "strong female characters"... I mean... did these people WATCH any of the movies??? That's actually a key part of being a "Bond Girl"... they're NOT helpless waifs.
As an American gay man who grew up die hard Bond fan - Brosnan is my favorite but love to debate with others on this topic - PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD keep Bond, Bond. Gun shooting, womanizing, car driving, you know the KIND OF MAN YOU WANT STOPPING GLOBAL THREATS?!?!? If they wanna do a race switch do Idris Elba, he’s 52 now and in great shape. Just don’t go making him a little bitch. My fiancé, I, you, and millions of others I know agree with this sentiment. I like a strong man playing out our fantasies in movies/television 😏😉
When Daniel Craig was cast he said that he didn’t like guns, didn’t know how to drive stick, didn’t like the workout routine for the film. I’m a nobody, if you cast me as James Bond, by the filming started I would be a firearms expert, know how to drive anything with wheels and be in the best shape of my life and probably learned a few more languages. That is the kind of commitment you need to play a character like James Bond. It isn’t like he was doing anything else.
@ easy. I haven’t been cast as James Bond. But I’ve already got the firearms, driving, and foreign languages (speak two, write three) down if anybody is casting.
Bond is classic male adventure fantasy fiction. He is an alpha male, loaded with self-confidence, an easy charm, and a bit of swagger, while also possessing a keen intellect, killer instincts, lethal training, and fierce loyalty to Crown and country. If you want to know what direction to go in, bring back Bond, James Bond.

It's the conflict of wanting a Feminine Bond coupled with the Desire to keep making money off of Bond and knowing a feminine bond would fail (as proven by Daniel Craig)
I love Bond and have watched the first twenty films numerous times. I utterly hated Craig as Bond, I watched Cassino Royale twice and the next three once each and completely skipped the last one. Bond, like pretty much all of my favourite franchises from Star Wars to Star Trek to Doctor Who, are utterly dead to me.
They ran out of Ian Fleming books to adapt. Plus, everyone who made the films in the 70s and 80s are dead now. So no, they do have to put thought into it now.
@@NJGuy1973 because movie ideas aren't the skillset it takes to run a company, or even make a movie, or write a script. I've run companies, I've written scripts, I haven't made movies, but I am an enthusiast and know a bit of their history and making, and I've been in a few movies. but ideas are a dime a dozen, for inventions, stories, etc. I've also been a business analyst and it doesn't take really smart folks to see when a pattern of doing a similar thing is bringing negative results. or the general stagnation from hollywood entities remaking things, trying to ride name recognition instead of being risky with new concepts, stories, etc. but, if you learn anything in the story writing business, is that things go in waves, circles, however you want to think about it, and there'll be another renaissance of creativity at some point. maybe not in hollywood, but it'll happen. stupid little ideas like Macaulay Culkin as bond will be generated (and are already being generated) as AI trailers for the concept. I wouldn't be surprised if these AI trailers aren't how idea are pitched to execs within a year or three.
@@DustinBarlow8P it does seem to align darned well with, like, a bourne identity agent back story, if ever there was one. ;-) I wouldn't object if someone did that crossover.

As an American, I'd like to apologize for all the things my people are deliberately destroying, and I want you to know that most of us want them to stop, too.
As a lifetime Bond fan, I actually have a lot of trouble trying to imagine him in the modern era. I did like the first few Daniel Craig films but it didn’t feel very Bond. They made new versions of old villains that didn’t mesh with the setting. I think as we move even further from the Cold War era they should turn Bond into a period action series and set the next one in a very obvious 1950s Cold War setting and retell the story a little differently
I liked the first one… thought it was an interesting take. Watching James Bond grow and develop into the suave, debonair spy we love….But that didn’t happen lol.
That's exactly what I've been thinking: go back to the cold war. However, that assumes Hollywood has writers of the calibre necessary not to turn it all into an embarrassing rethink of the era, viewed through the eyes of modernity. And that is a bit assumption.
James Bond was cool because he was doing things we, men, can't. But very want to. Every single hero is like that. So representing reality is going in the exact opposite way from it.
Even Casino Royale's plot went off the rails after the torture scene with Le Chiffre. The writers used the old trick of "an unknown man with a gun walks into the room" to get out of a sticky situation they had written themselves into with no clear way of resolving it.
Mr Disparu, merry Christmas and thank you. Thank you not only for watching terrible shows so that I don't have to, but also for reading articles and tweets so that I don't have to.
Somehow that kinda fits for almost every problem in hollywood.... simply ask Henry Cavill.... You want the audience to love your protagonist? Ask Henry Cavill. You want a story and a script that the audience likes? Ask Henry Cavill. You want a way out of this money-burning swamp that Hollywood has become? Ask Henry Cavill! 😂
@@WolfWolf-o3q - **Honestly? I love MAN FROM UNCLE movie with him. Close enough as a potential bond protagonist and seriously he is british just as daniel. Just sad what we are all on nowadays**
@@seabookfarno8656 I consider Man from UNCLE to be Cavill's de facto Bond screen test. But the chances of a Bond period piece starring Henry Cavill and directed by Guy Ritchie is zero, despite that being the best of all possible outcomes.
I should have felt something at the end of the last James Bond film, but all I could feel was relief that it was finally fucking over. God it felt like an eternity watching that thing.
From a purely film making perspective, "No Time to Die," was at least 30 minutes too long. A professional director and editor would have easily recognized that.
@@rochskier Besides the fact that Bond was completely out of character for him you are totally right. It's like they felt they couldn't cut anything and it trudged along like a dying elephant.
that quote from one of the original novels was very perceptive. interesting that our current dire state of affairs was anticipated as far back at the 1950s.
Best Bond was hands down Dalton during his two movie run. He was stoic, brutal, mission focused and actually indimidating whilst also showing a humorous side without going full Roger Moore in terms of quipping. It really showed a dangerous and gritty take on the world that Bond existed in.
Dalton's brief run is hugely underrated. Comparing his films to the rest of the series, his films had two of the best pre-credit sequences, two of the best theme songs, two of the best scores, two of the best enemy henchmen, one of the best Astons, and one of the best heavies. One of the best things about, "The Living Daylights," and a testament to Dalton's acting ability is how he was able to make the audience believe his Bond had been in espionage for years only 10 or 15 minutes into the film.
Really gets on my tits when people call Dalton a prototype Craig. Dalton was so much better, and he actually cared about respecting the source material.
They should make Bond in the 1950's where he belongs. No more effiminate "emotional intelligence" please. He should be an unapologetic badass, that kills bad guys and bangs hot women in equal measure.
After Specter I bought the complete Bond dvd set because when no time to die came out (which I won't capitalize because its not a real title because its not a real bond movie) because I knew the franchise was likely over, and thank God I did, it won't be long before they start to edit the orginal movies so as to not offend modern audiences.
JANE BOND, thank you very much. And every mission she will be in another wheelchair that has been provided with a lot of nice useful tricks and toys. There is even one where she can extend a glider from her wheelchair and land.
They should've given this role to Henry Cavill more than a decade ago. I just want old school Bond movies with a lot of action and the hottest women. Movies made for entertaining. This was standard 2 decades ago. Why is this impossible nowadays?
@@rochskier Craig is overrated as an actor in general and completely lacking any of the charisma that's at the core of James Bond (even Timothy Dalton had that going for him).
@@rochskier Not just overrated, but the man himself seems to have this arrogant hatred towards the Bond character. Evident by how eager Craig was to deconstruct him. Every actor, maybe except Connery in his last few films absolutely loved the role and were great ambassadors for the franchise. Bond kick started or revived their careers, including Craig, but he is the only one that seems ungrateful for it.
What I think made Bond so iconic at the start, especially with Connery, is how he balanced humor even in the most intense, terrifying situations. He showed us that, no matter how grim things got, the British 'stiff upper lip' always prevailed, allowing him to remain calm and fearless. That combination of wit and resilience is what made his actions so captivating to watch....NOT HIS FEELINGS
For all of us who love movies, TV shows and games, it feels like we are living in a nightmare we can't wake from. Everything is turned to piss and shit. And no American company should own James Bond.
Merry Xmas, my dude. The next Bond should be Henry Cavill or Ryan Reynolds. Aside from being good looking, they will hold the production hostage until they come up with a satisfyingly straight movie.
In past times, movie creators asked what the audience want to watch. Today, they make movies for theirselves, for an audience that only exists in their minds. And when the critics are horrible and bad, they blame the audience as to stupid, not flexible and out of touch. Good luck.
And it should collapse…Amazon is famous for screwing up any film project they lay their grubby little hands on. The Bond franchise, as much as I liked it (from reading the books starting back in the ‘60s), may be overextending as most of all the other franchises such as Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, and others. Make sure the original Bond books are covered or better yet, redo the entire book series in the order they were written and stay true to the books (yes I know, that will never happen). Many of the later Bond movies strayed so far from books that The Spy Who Loved Me would be totally unrecognizable to current non bond book reading public.
Yup, the old movies. The really old ones. SOOO CLASSIC! But, as it ran into the modern age things got slowly but surely worse. But now? Even in the best case... I don't know if you can even call this character BOND anymore.
The first three Bond movies did stick very well to the books but Goldfinger didn't, which was a great disappointment to me. Gadgets and ridiculous action scenes became the norm after that, so I never watched any more. As time has gone on the franchise got further and further away from Fleming's James Bond, until the Daniel Graig films finally (in my mind) put an end to the franchise. It is no longer James Bond. btw if they cast an American as the next Bond it wouldn't surprise me. Everybody knows the British Secret Service is full of Americans, right?
As a young woman, I want characters I can have a crush on. These soy simps don't cut it. Kind reminder there is A REASON why 50 shades of crap was so successful.
"I don't want to be Jamie Bond. We should leave the male-lead franchise alone. Women can have their own original franchise." ___Jenna Ortega (2024) Hollywood better start to listen to their based actors.
A Miss Moneypenny miniseries could be fun. Just a pretty lady going about her day while occasionally an agent on a mission comes into the office to flirt with her. She could be friends with the staff who clean and repair the many broken gadgets that 007 alone brings back.
You earned my subscription with this one…. Please keep bringing attention to it. It is the only franchise I even care about anymore….. something my father and I shared… him now passed. And all they want to do is destroy a legacy in any single interesting model for men.
Bring back the gadget Bond. He made regular guys feel like they could BE Bond, if they had those gadgets! Craig was more Bourne than Bond... The only gadget Craig ever used was a credit card...
EXACTLY! The gadgets were amazing and interesting, and so was their inventor in the show. ALWAYS loved to see the new gadgets he would be using against his enemies.
We have a spin off, Austin Powers. Wait can we have another Austin Powers ? Quick get Mick Myers, and the freaking Sharks with freaking Laser beams attached to their heads.
Cast Henry Cavill and Bond and Hugh Grant as M. Get Guy Ritchie to direct. Make it a Cold War period piece... Okay, basically, Man from UNCLE. Make the next Bond movie Man from UNCLE.
I mean, the plot of the novel "Moonraker" centers on a foreigner who emigrated to Britain, become a billionaire, started a private aerospace company and used the occurrence of a rocket test flight to try and nuke London, so...maybe 'modern audiences' might be open to such a villain?
There was that James Bond movie that opened with Moneypenny being a field agent who shot James Bond, and I totally thought they were going to spinoff from that into a Moneypenny show.
@@rochskierWhat a giant cope. I loved Goldeneye (my first Bond film) but know there are several that contend it. I loved Lee in The Man With The Golden Gun. Retarded brain thought he was Nicholas Cage until over halfway through.
The only scene I really remenber and tbh enjoyed from the last few Bond movies is where Ana de Armas is in an evening gown firing a machine and kicking arse. Sadly they'd probably have Bond in the even gown in the next one and getting his arse kicked.
@Guardsmen4 no bad taste, he was brilliant in The Living Daylights. One of my favourites. He really came across as a deadly assassin. Moore is by far my favourite.
It never ceases to amaze me really. Like how can you have a more successful copyright then either 007 or Star Wars like how could you possibly screw that up? They’ll find a way tho.
I think Judi dench did a commendable job as M, particularly in the Early Pierce Brosnan movies. I don't mind the world changing around Bond, when done right he is a timeless enough character to support that. Just as he outgrew the cold war, he can deal with a female authority figure. It is worth note that in that self-same movie, he smirked though his new boss tirade, was right about the weapons program 'golden-eye-, and had already seduced the young woman she sent to 'evaluate' him... and it's fair to say that he won the new lady boss over during his run. The world can change, but in a very core way, James Bond doesn't. I never really liked Daniel Craig as bond. Casino Royal had far too many jibes at the old movies, suggesting it was 'above' them. While the capture/abuse scene was just wholly mismatched with the tone. My true hatred of Craig/Bond really started with the 'waste of good scotch' scene. That's when was totally convinced this iteration of Bond held no value. I know a lot of people don't care for 'The world is not enough' but bond killing Electra in that movie had a lot more gravitas than anything in the Craig-Era. I like the Juxtaposition of 'you'd miss me' to 'I never miss' was a strong exchange. Bond is a broken man, orphan to navy, to license to kill. He dose not represent the reality of what men should aspire to. He is more extreme, violent, driven, cavalier and chauvinistic, more than willing to kill for his mission, and have as much as fun he can on the way to an early grave. He hides any real emotion behind a snarky quip and a irreverent smirk... affording only rare glimpses of the emotion underneath. Many of the most compelling and engaging characters are broken, often terrible human beings who don't really fit with social norms. Bond occupies a fantastic world where he is just the kind of bastard who is needed to get the job done. The core mantra of James Bond has always been: "women want him and men want to be him"... I'm going to guess the overall percentage of the male population that wants to take the place of James Bond in Casino Royale is vanishingly small... and probably not enough to sustain the franchise long term. I also would rather no bond then one that is so modernized as to be James Bond 007 in name and number alone.
So, "He dose not represent the reality of what men should aspire to.", but also it's a problem when "the overall percentage of the male population that wants to take the place of James Bond in Casino Royale is vanishingly small". Seems like a contradiction in what you're talking about there, which is fine. Bond movies have always had a push and pull between Ian Fleming's original concept of a brutal secret agent who doesn't really like his profession and copes with women and alcohol, and the suave playboy who has all the fun gadgets, best quips, and is an instant lothario. The key is, whichever you go with, it needs to be done well. And if you don't go with either and veer off into a different direction, than nobody is gonna like it no matter how well it's done.
@@jaysmall5586 I get what you are saying, but there is no contradiction for me. I've not read the more realistic and grounded books. My experience with bond comes entirely from the movies... which even at their best, tend to be highly unrealistic. I look for more of that from any new bond movie, which is probably why I so utterly detest Craig... there is nothing fun about his portrayal, (probably because he totally hated doing it) and while it might be more realistic, it is antithetical to everything I personally love about Bond. If I am looking for a grounded and realistic spy thriller... i will look elsewhere. For me bond is the mystique of a suave secret agent, he quips with sardonic intellect at the henchmen, trades witty barbs with the mastermind, and 'gets' one or more very attractive women... anything else and the studio is wasting my time.
I totally agree about Judi Dench. Her M made for an excellent foil to Bond. You need the "bean counter" behind the desk to make the long term decisions that keep things going in the right direction, but you also need Bond's "go by your gut instinct" because sometimes anything more than an immediate decision without even half of the necessary information will be too late and _not_ acting will always be the wrong choice. And eventually their (professional) relationship found an equilibrium that elevated both of them to greater heights. @@jaysmall5586 I think there is no real contradiction when you consider the fact that "want to" and "shouldn't" are two different things. Especially when they can also be for different reasons. One shouldn't be like him because he is violent and chauvanistic, but one might want to because he is clever and charismatic.
Hollywood will try anything to make Bond "new and fresh" except do what no one has ever done before; something that even old bond failed to do. Actually adapt the books faithfully.
Theo James. Only one worth considering. Looks perfect, is fairly young so provides longevity and has the perfect voice. He was born to be the Bond we love and miss.
When he was first cast as James Bond, I REFUSED to watch it because he was NOT James Bond. Glad to know I was right about him! I do like him in other movies, tbh, but he's just NOT James Bond.
Daniel Craig never sat right with me as James Bond. Never liked the look of him. Glad to see my instincts helped me dodge one hell of a bullet. I'll just stick with Connery and Moore for my bond viewing.
Bring Bond back to its origins. No bullshit about Bond ''being in touch with his feelings'' or changing him into a woman or a lady-boy (or anything else). ▪︎ In the books, Bond was a natural cunning man and physically brutal (when necessary). He was a misogynist chainsmoker, he was reckless and had a suicidal streak in him. Also was incredibly loyal to his friends and allies. .. Cast young talented British actors that fit the book description. ▪︎ A tall white man, with blue-grey eyes and black hair. In his mid-to-late 30s.
Took IP to a big showrunner at 20th when Salke was there as head of the studio. They approved a terrible pitch to take to broadcasters. I couldn’t convince her otherwise. It bombed.
2:10, if'n you got to qualify the synopsis/sales pitch with the phrase "financially successful", before the phrase "critically acclaimed" well, Chronos was a titan for a reason.
2:16 - "We're afraid to walk the streets at night" Spoiler - it has been dangerous to walk the streets at night since well before streets were invented. We are daylight animals. Once the sun went down traditionally there was very little for us to do, especially since once the sun came up we would need to be devoting most of our energy into attempting to prepare for that time of the year when things froze and you could no longer just walk around picking fruit off the nearest tree. So once humans evolved into static groups there was no rational reason to be at night and anyone 'walking the streets' was probably up to no good. Reclaim the Streets is a lie. The streets were never claimed in the first place and if they even came close to being claimed it was because your community funded the police.
I'm a woman and I have no reason to be walking the streets at night. I'm at home, minding my own business. I can't help thinking that women who want to be safe walking around *at night* are either out clubbing (which I think is dumb) or are the ones soliciting you for certain things on street corners and don't want to get arrested...
It depends on the nature of your community. It’s very safe to walk the streets at night in my area. The keys are a cohesive culture with shared values, low population density, a lack of extreme poverty, and a willingness to get on with each other. The advantage of having a large brain is that we’re not constrained by the conditions we evolved under; we are able to adapt very quickly, and change our culture, for good and bad.
Everything women say is a lie. To be more precise, they are "false threat narratives." It's a female instinct to invent threat narratives. It's part of their sexual competition. It says "I'm so attractive, everyone wants to attack / grape me".
Honestly Bond is probably the hardest role to fill. You’re locked in for a multi movie career that is like 30 movies deep now. Pierce Actually wanted to do another one before he got pushed out after 5 movies. CG him and there’s your stop gap.
If you want it to not be further sullied after the sean Connery movie then it's best it remains forgotten. It's how I am with a few things that have been thankfully forgotten so they won't fall under modern Hollywood's gaydar
My mother loved Bond movies and I vividly remember years ago, the first thing she said when she knew Daniel Craig was the new one after Brosnan: ''I don't like the new one, he's too effeminate and has no presence to fill the suit'' If they think they're making movies for women, they're not 🤣 they're doing movies nobody likes.
M was a good insert though. She expressed her opinion, but she also expressed that she trusts him and needs evidence not just instincts. I liked that! But it was definitely the beginning of the end for reasons behind the scenes

It's the conflict of wanting a Feminine Bond coupled with the Desire to keep making money off of Bond and knowing a feminine bond would fail (as proven by Daniel Craig)
What's said is with proper direction and writing, Craig could have been an amazing Bond.
@@SolarisKane Craig wanted feminist Bond though and therefore hired Phoebe Waller Bridge
Craig’s Bond began as Jason Bourne and went downhill from there.
I love Bond and have watched the first twenty films numerous times. I utterly hated Craig as Bond, I watched Cassino Royale twice and the next three once each and completely skipped the last one. Bond, like pretty much all of my favourite franchises from Star Wars to Star Trek to Doctor Who, are utterly dead to me.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but... didn't Craig's Bond movies make very well at the box office?
You don't have to find a direction with Bond movies. You just make Bond movies. There is nothing to think about here.
They ran out of Ian Fleming books to adapt. Plus, everyone who made the films in the 70s and 80s are dead now. So no, they do have to put thought into it now.
The direction was chosen in the 1960's, you're right. stick with who the established character.
@@jaysmall5586 Hollywood writers have always been brilliant at writing futuristic scripts. I are sure there are few who can do the reverse.
might as well cast Macaulay Culkin as bond. he's got a better record of beating enemies, gadgets, general survival out of his element, etcetera. :-D
Why aren't you running Amazon? You should be. No, really. You have a good idea.
@@NJGuy1973 because movie ideas aren't the skillset it takes to run a company, or even make a movie, or write a script.
I've run companies, I've written scripts, I haven't made movies, but I am an enthusiast and know a bit of their history and making, and I've been in a few movies.
but ideas are a dime a dozen, for inventions, stories, etc.
I've also been a business analyst and it doesn't take really smart folks to see when a pattern of doing a similar thing is bringing negative results. or the general stagnation from hollywood entities remaking things, trying to ride name recognition instead of being risky with new concepts, stories, etc.
but, if you learn anything in the story writing business, is that things go in waves, circles, however you want to think about it, and there'll be another renaissance of creativity at some point. maybe not in hollywood, but it'll happen.
stupid little ideas like Macaulay Culkin as bond will be generated (and are already being generated) as AI trailers for the concept. I wouldn't be surprised if these AI trailers aren't how idea are pitched to execs within a year or three.

Amazon is an American corporation and owns Bond now. He will be re-imagined into a trans black womax in a wheelchair.
Yes, because if he was owned by a British company he’d be respected.
Like Doctor Who.
Right, like it would be any LESS work if it were owned by Brits still….like Jaguar! He better be careful what he writes on the internet or the UK though police will come take him away.
I stopped watching that franchise some time ago but didn't they already done this?
"I AM BROCCOLI"! 🥦👀
As an American, I'd like to apologize for all the things my people are deliberately destroying, and I want you to know that most of us want them to stop, too.
As a lifetime Bond fan, I actually have a lot of trouble trying to imagine him in the modern era. I did like the first few Daniel Craig films but it didn’t feel very Bond. They made new versions of old villains that didn’t mesh with the setting. I think as we move even further from the Cold War era they should turn Bond into a period action series and set the next one in a very obvious 1950s Cold War setting and retell the story a little differently
I liked the first one… thought it was an interesting take. Watching James Bond grow and develop into the suave, debonair spy we love….But that didn’t happen lol.
That's exactly what I've been thinking: go back to the cold war. However, that assumes Hollywood has writers of the calibre necessary not to turn it all into an embarrassing rethink of the era, viewed through the eyes of modernity. And that is a bit assumption.
James Bond was cool because he was doing things we, men, can't. But very want to. Every single hero is like that.
So representing reality is going in the exact opposite way from it.
Yes.
They KNOW THIS.
That's why they are making a concerted effort to destroy everything.
Even representing reality would lead to a better product than what they've got, because what they're actually representing is their own delusions.
Yeah but they don't want men to want these things, least of all to do them, in in the fantasy of a film.
I enjoyed Casino Royale, but after that Craig movies went down drastically, with No Time to Die being the final and most egregious insult.
Even Casino Royale's plot went off the rails after the torture scene with Le Chiffre. The writers used the old trick of "an unknown man with a gun walks into the room" to get out of a sticky situation they had written themselves into with no clear way of resolving it.
@@AICW I believe that scene is book accurate though.
Agree. I love Casino, but the rest are not Bond films. Some are actually decent action films, but they bear no resemblance to Bond.
My thoughts exactly. Casino was great then rapidly downhill. Craig turned into a poor Bond. Connery is and always will be the only James Bond.
Making the 'new' 007 a black female is the ultimate piss take.
We have a saying in Greece which is “two donkeys were fighting in another man’s barn”. This is all this is, although instead of donkeys we have hens.

Just cast Henry Cavill, bring Bond back to its roots, make it brutal and Bond cold and ruthless. Simple.....maybe or not.
Somehow that kinda fits for almost every problem in hollywood.... simply ask Henry Cavill.... You want the audience to love your protagonist? Ask Henry Cavill. You want a story and a script that the audience likes? Ask Henry Cavill. You want a way out of this money-burning swamp that Hollywood has become? Ask Henry Cavill! 😂
They aren't going to do that ever man, never ever again.....don't you get it? All they care about is pushing the woke agenda and brainwashing you.
@@WolfWolf-o3q - **Honestly? I love MAN FROM UNCLE movie with him. Close enough as a potential bond protagonist and seriously he is british just as daniel. Just sad what we are all on nowadays**

@@seabookfarno8656 I consider Man from UNCLE to be Cavill's de facto Bond screen test. But the chances of a Bond period piece starring Henry Cavill and directed by Guy Ritchie is zero, despite that being the best of all possible outcomes.
I should have felt something at the end of the last James Bond film, but all I could feel was relief that it was finally fucking over. God it felt like an eternity watching that thing.
From a purely film making perspective, "No Time to Die," was at least 30 minutes too long. A professional director and editor would have easily recognized that.
@@rochskier Besides the fact that Bond was completely out of character for him you are totally right. It's like they felt they couldn't cut anything and it trudged along like a dying elephant.
Horrible movie through and through.
Worst JB movie ever
Glad I never watched in theatre so u could turn it off. I still haven't fully watched it but I know the ending. Crap movie
that quote from one of the original novels was very perceptive. interesting that our current dire state of affairs was anticipated as far back at the 1950s.
Best Bond was hands down Dalton during his two movie run. He was stoic, brutal, mission focused and actually indimidating whilst also showing a humorous side without going full Roger Moore in terms of quipping. It really showed a dangerous and gritty take on the world that Bond existed in.
Agreed! I loved his run. Tho to be fair, I've loved him since his turn as Mister Rochester 😍
Dalton's brief run is hugely underrated. Comparing his films to the rest of the series, his films had two of the best pre-credit sequences, two of the best theme songs, two of the best scores, two of the best enemy henchmen, one of the best Astons, and one of the best heavies.
One of the best things about, "The Living Daylights," and a testament to Dalton's acting ability is how he was able to make the audience believe his Bond had been in espionage for years only 10 or 15 minutes into the film.
Really gets on my tits when people call Dalton a prototype Craig. Dalton was so much better, and he actually cared about respecting the source material.
Thanks
Dalton>Craig
“Looks like he needs a feather to fly” that was great 😆
They should make Bond in the 1950's where he belongs. No more effiminate "emotional intelligence" please. He should be an unapologetic badass, that kills bad guys and bangs hot women in equal measure.
As a woman, I approve this idea.
As a woman and fan of the 007 movies, I approve that idea
How did we get to the point where banging hot women is seen as a bad thing anyway?
I'm just glad that, thanks to RUclips and video technology, we have more content that is outside the control of studios.
After Specter I bought the complete Bond dvd set because when no time to die came out (which I won't capitalize because its not a real title because its not a real bond movie) because I knew the franchise was likely over, and thank God I did, it won't be long before they start to edit the orginal movies so as to not offend modern audiences.
Thanks!
Dear God, James Bond is going to say "There is a tempest in ME!", I just know it....ugh
JANE BOND, thank you very much. And every mission she will be in another wheelchair that has been provided with a lot of nice useful tricks and toys. There is even one where she can extend a glider from her wheelchair and land.
"There is a tempest in me!"
"That time of the month again, luv?"
3:42 But that's the right response. Bonds have never named a successor. That's the producer's job.
They should've given this role to Henry Cavill more than a decade ago. I just want old school Bond movies with a lot of action and the hottest women. Movies made for entertaining. This was standard 2 decades ago. Why is this impossible nowadays?
It's called "feminization"

Thank you. It's nice to see there are others who also recognize how hugely overrated the Craig films are.
Went from driving tanks through Moscow to having a silk over being a wuss. What a downgrade.
@@rochskier Craig is overrated as an actor in general and completely lacking any of the charisma that's at the core of James Bond (even Timothy Dalton had that going for him).
@@rochskier Not just overrated, but the man himself seems to have this arrogant hatred towards the Bond character. Evident by how eager Craig was to deconstruct him. Every actor, maybe except Connery in his last few films absolutely loved the role and were great ambassadors for the franchise. Bond kick started or revived their careers, including Craig, but he is the only one that seems ungrateful for it.
@@fenris6051 Disagree. His films hit the perfect middle ground.
A lethal government agent can't be a blubbering fool! He's going to get caught if he breaks down crying after every hit.
A film isn't about "what is best for society today", it is about telling a story and what will best entertain society today.
Thought police
What I think made Bond so iconic at the start, especially with Connery, is how he balanced humor even in the most intense, terrifying situations. He showed us that, no matter how grim things got, the British 'stiff upper lip' always prevailed, allowing him to remain calm and fearless. That combination of wit and resilience is what made his actions so captivating to watch....NOT HIS FEELINGS
Strong women in bond have never been a problem, Grace Jones for example. Problem is when they're stronger than Bond.
For all of us who love movies, TV shows and games, it feels like we are living in a nightmare we can't wake from. Everything is turned to piss and shit. And no American company should own James Bond.
I'm a simple man. Someone has the last name Brocoli, and I laugh

I came for the cheeky Brits take on James Bond and I was not disappointed.
I liked Pierce Brosnan's Bond, and disliked everything about Daniel Craig well before his first Bond movie.
Merry Xmas, my dude. The next Bond should be Henry Cavill or Ryan Reynolds. Aside from being good looking, they will hold the production hostage until they come up with a satisfyingly straight movie.
In past times, movie creators asked what the audience want to watch. Today, they make movies for theirselves, for an audience that only exists in their minds. And when the critics are horrible and bad, they blame the audience as to stupid, not flexible and out of touch. Good luck.
And it should collapse…Amazon is famous for screwing up any film project they lay their grubby little hands on. The Bond franchise, as much as I liked it (from reading the books starting back in the ‘60s), may be overextending as most of all the other franchises such as Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, and others. Make sure the original Bond books are covered or better yet, redo the entire book series in the order they were written and stay true to the books (yes I know, that will never happen). Many of the later Bond movies strayed so far from books that The Spy Who Loved Me would be totally unrecognizable to current non bond book reading public.
Yup, the old movies. The really old ones. SOOO CLASSIC!
But, as it ran into the modern age things got slowly but surely worse.
But now? Even in the best case... I don't know if you can even call this character BOND anymore.
The first three Bond movies did stick very well to the books but Goldfinger didn't, which was a great disappointment to me. Gadgets and ridiculous action scenes became the norm after that, so I never watched any more. As time has gone on the franchise got further and further away from Fleming's James Bond, until the Daniel Graig films finally (in my mind) put an end to the franchise. It is no longer James Bond. btw if they cast an American as the next Bond it wouldn't surprise me. Everybody knows the British Secret Service is full of Americans, right?
As a young woman, I want characters I can have a crush on. These soy simps don't cut it.
Kind reminder there is A REASON why 50 shades of crap was so successful.
It's hilarious that two women who fundamentally agree to feminize Bond can't get along. Women, amirite?
As a woman, I concur.
"I don't want to be Jamie Bond. We should leave the male-lead franchise alone. Women can have their own original franchise." ___Jenna Ortega (2024)

Whoever wins, we lose (but I'm hoping anyone but Sulke wins)
A Miss Moneypenny miniseries could be fun. Just a pretty lady going about her day while occasionally an agent on a mission comes into the office to flirt with her. She could be friends with the staff who clean and repair the many broken gadgets that 007 alone brings back.
I wish they stopped when they ran out of books.
007 was too profitable for his own good it seems.
You earned my subscription with this one…. Please keep bringing attention to it. It is the only franchise I even care about anymore….. something my father and I shared… him now passed. And all they want to do is destroy a legacy in any single interesting model for men.
Bring back the gadget Bond. He made regular guys feel like they could BE Bond, if they had those gadgets! Craig was more Bourne than Bond... The only gadget Craig ever used was a credit card...
EXACTLY! The gadgets were amazing and interesting, and so was their inventor in the show. ALWAYS loved to see the new gadgets he would be using against his enemies.
Yeah, the gadgets, the women and oneliners is what defines the bond franchise.
It's just general action movie slop now.
We have a spin off, Austin Powers. Wait can we have another Austin Powers ? Quick get Mick Myers, and the freaking Sharks with freaking Laser beams attached to their heads.
Cast Henry Cavill and Bond and Hugh Grant as M. Get Guy Ritchie to direct. Make it a Cold War period piece... Okay, basically, Man from UNCLE. Make the next Bond movie Man from UNCLE.
Can't wait to see Ncuti Gatwa as bond, who cries every 10 minutes
That thing made The Importance of Being Earnest too Gay after Rupert Everett had actually failed to do so. That's impressive in some way.

The only scene I really remenber and tbh enjoyed from the last few Bond movies is where Ana de Armas is in an evening gown firing a machine and kicking arse. Sadly they'd probably have Bond in the even gown in the next one and getting his arse kicked.
You mean his arse buggered?
Pierce Brosnan, Roger Moore and Sean Connery were the best Bonds imo. Daniel Craig sucked ass and came across as a moping teenager to me
The first 2 movies were solid. The last few movies were definitely melancholy, mopey & without the pulse of the first 2
i have real soft spot for tim aswell i know i might have bad taste
Craig only had 1 solid movie Casino Royale, everything else ranges from mediocre to outright bad.
@@ventzxX Yep, Casino Royale was a Bond film, and then Craig fell off a cliff.
@Guardsmen4 no bad taste, he was brilliant in The Living Daylights. One of my favourites. He really came across as a deadly assassin. Moore is by far my favourite.

"If you're not creating, you're not destroying" 2024
It never ceases to amaze me really. Like how can you have a more successful copyright then either 007 or Star Wars like how could you possibly screw that up? They’ll find a way tho.
I think Judi dench did a commendable job as M, particularly in the Early Pierce Brosnan movies. I don't mind the world changing around Bond, when done right he is a timeless enough character to support that. Just as he outgrew the cold war, he can deal with a female authority figure.
It is worth note that in that self-same movie, he smirked though his new boss tirade, was right about the weapons program 'golden-eye-, and had already seduced the young woman she sent to 'evaluate' him... and it's fair to say that he won the new lady boss over during his run. The world can change, but in a very core way, James Bond doesn't.
I never really liked Daniel Craig as bond. Casino Royal had far too many jibes at the old movies, suggesting it was 'above' them. While the capture/abuse scene was just wholly mismatched with the tone. My true hatred of Craig/Bond really started with the 'waste of good scotch' scene. That's when was totally convinced this iteration of Bond held no value. I know a lot of people don't care for 'The world is not enough' but bond killing Electra in that movie had a lot more gravitas than anything in the Craig-Era. I like the Juxtaposition of 'you'd miss me' to 'I never miss' was a strong exchange.
Bond is a broken man, orphan to navy, to license to kill. He dose not represent the reality of what men should aspire to. He is more extreme, violent, driven, cavalier and chauvinistic, more than willing to kill for his mission, and have as much as fun he can on the way to an early grave. He hides any real emotion behind a snarky quip and a irreverent smirk... affording only rare glimpses of the emotion underneath.
Many of the most compelling and engaging characters are broken, often terrible human beings who don't really fit with social norms. Bond occupies a fantastic world where he is just the kind of bastard who is needed to get the job done. The core mantra of James Bond has always been: "women want him and men want to be him"... I'm going to guess the overall percentage of the male population that wants to take the place of James Bond in Casino Royale is vanishingly small... and probably not enough to sustain the franchise long term.
I also would rather no bond then one that is so modernized as to be James Bond 007 in name and number alone.
So, "He dose not represent the reality of what men should aspire to.", but also it's a problem when "the overall percentage of the male population that wants to take the place of James Bond in Casino Royale is vanishingly small".
Seems like a contradiction in what you're talking about there, which is fine. Bond movies have always had a push and pull between Ian Fleming's original concept of a brutal secret agent who doesn't really like his profession and copes with women and alcohol, and the suave playboy who has all the fun gadgets, best quips, and is an instant lothario.
The key is, whichever you go with, it needs to be done well. And if you don't go with either and veer off into a different direction, than nobody is gonna like it no matter how well it's done.
@@jaysmall5586 I get what you are saying, but there is no contradiction for me. I've not read the more realistic and grounded books. My experience with bond comes entirely from the movies... which even at their best, tend to be highly unrealistic.
I look for more of that from any new bond movie, which is probably why I so utterly detest Craig... there is nothing fun about his portrayal, (probably because he totally hated doing it) and while it might be more realistic, it is antithetical to everything I personally love about Bond.
If I am looking for a grounded and realistic spy thriller... i will look elsewhere. For me bond is the mystique of a suave secret agent, he quips with sardonic intellect at the henchmen, trades witty barbs with the mastermind, and 'gets' one or more very attractive women... anything else and the studio is wasting my time.
I totally agree about Judi Dench. Her M made for an excellent foil to Bond.
You need the "bean counter" behind the desk to make the long term decisions that keep things going in the right direction, but you also need Bond's "go by your gut instinct" because sometimes anything more than an immediate decision without even half of the necessary information will be too late and _not_ acting will always be the wrong choice.
And eventually their (professional) relationship found an equilibrium that elevated both of them to greater heights.
@@jaysmall5586 I think there is no real contradiction when you consider the fact that "want to" and "shouldn't" are two different things. Especially when they can also be for different reasons. One shouldn't be like him because he is violent and chauvanistic, but one might want to because he is clever and charismatic.
The spectator article was incredibly refreshing.
Hollywood will try anything to make Bond "new and fresh" except do what no one has ever done before; something that even old bond failed to do. Actually adapt the books faithfully.

Bring Bond back to its origins.
No bullshit about Bond ''being in touch with his feelings'' or changing him into a woman or a lady-boy (or anything else).
▪︎ In the books, Bond was a natural cunning man and physically brutal (when necessary). He was a misogynist chainsmoker, he was reckless and had a suicidal streak in him.
Also was incredibly loyal to his friends and allies.
..
Cast young talented British actors that fit the book description.
▪︎ A tall white man, with blue-grey eyes and black hair. In his mid-to-late 30s.
Stick to your guns Barbara Broccoli. We DO NOT want James Bond going down the same path as Star Wars!
Super cool vid, love how you keep it fresh.
Took IP to a big showrunner at 20th when Salke was there as head of the studio. They approved a terrible pitch to take to broadcasters. I couldn’t convince her otherwise. It bombed.
2:10, if'n you got to qualify the synopsis/sales pitch with the phrase "financially successful", before the phrase "critically acclaimed" well, Chronos was a titan for a reason.
James Bond is dead and we will never see him again. The only thing we can do is watch the older movies and enjoy a different era.
2:16 - "We're afraid to walk the streets at night"
Spoiler - it has been dangerous to walk the streets at night since well before streets were invented. We are daylight animals. Once the sun went down traditionally there was very little for us to do, especially since once the sun came up we would need to be devoting most of our energy into attempting to prepare for that time of the year when things froze and you could no longer just walk around picking fruit off the nearest tree.
So once humans evolved into static groups there was no rational reason to be at night and anyone 'walking the streets' was probably up to no good.
Reclaim the Streets is a lie. The streets were never claimed in the first place and if they even came close to being claimed it was because your community funded the police.
I'm a woman and I have no reason to be walking the streets at night. I'm at home, minding my own business. I can't help thinking that women who want to be safe walking around *at night* are either out clubbing (which I think is dumb) or are the ones soliciting you for certain things on street corners and don't want to get arrested...
It depends on the nature of your community. It’s very safe to walk the streets at night in my area. The keys are a cohesive culture with shared values, low population density, a lack of extreme poverty, and a willingness to get on with each other. The advantage of having a large brain is that we’re not constrained by the conditions we evolved under; we are able to adapt very quickly, and change our culture, for good and bad.
Everything women say is a lie.
To be more precise, they are "false threat narratives."
It's a female instinct to invent threat narratives.
It's part of their sexual competition.
It says "I'm so attractive, everyone wants to attack / grape me".
