Not necessary awful. Amazon makes a lot of good stuff.
Aside from Fallout and Invincible I disagree.
Please don't say Rings of Power.

I hope they do good stuff with this, wonder who they would cast as Bond?
Henry Cavill is probably still available.....
With all that said, I will NEVER forgive Amazon for what they did to Tolkien in Rings of Power!
I can look past them being an evil megalithic corporation destined to swallow us all - but that writing put war crimes to shame.

Even the Boys dropped off the past season. Nothing lasts forever. I'm actually shocked especially after reading Barbara's statement. She had to continue her family's legacy. Being an owner brings wealth yes but the actual quality will drop. Her father would be so disappointed in her.
I also would say not awful. Sometimes a change in direction can be good. It will mostly depend on who will play Bond, who is writing and who is directing - in that order.

This is odd... they had hit movies, liked by both audiences and critics, and re-energised the franchise only to give it to Amazon?
Hard disagree but to each their own.

As I understand it, Amazon had enough control that neither party could do anything without the approval of the other. I think the situation was that the Wilson/Brocoli could make a movie, but only Amazon could release it. Amazon would give them money to make a movie, but wouldn't do so unless it was something they wanted. Amazon couldn't make a movie without the W/B's involvement. W/B didn't want to make a movie with Amazon because they wanted their own sole creative control. Nobody was going to budge. But presumably Amazon gave them enough money to make them go away
I have a feeling they're going to do what HBO are doing with Harry Potter.
Either remake all the books as movies or tv shows. So like season 1 is Casino Royale etc.

Bezos probably made her an offer she couldn’t refuse.
Hand over your agent, or we’ll send an agent to you.

I can’t say I’m not disappointed but I’m also not surprised. I wonder if this is connected to HT announcement?
they will probably cast an actress, maybe Tessa Thompson
I could easily see Amazon doing that, especially with the ending of the last movie. A new take on Bond is definitely coming…
I did really enjoy Bosch, though. Need to catch up with that one. And the Tick was great. Unfortunate that it never found its footing.
Or alternatively, hopefully doesn’t interfere with that happening now.
Get ready for more Bond than you ever wanted, or will ever want.
Don’t we already have that?
