Hopkins is 87. Are you sure lol??

I'm not even *that* old yet but sometimes I feel like all of us on this forum be like:

I'd have to question those that believe Amazon wants "the kids" to come back to Bond. I don't think Amazon relies on "the kids" like Hollywood used to for success. I mean, "the kids" are playing video games or on tik tok... so who's watching Amazon? Old people. Who likes Bond? Old people.

it's not just about "the kids" to get into bond.
it's about Amazon as a brand. none of the people working on rings of power were teens. how do you explain that train wreck? but it's about Amazon as a brand and also the people working for them.
Bond is "problematic" by today's standards. specially for Amazon. everything about him is problematic.
there's no way in hell you get a traditional bond.

someone in their mid 20s is not a kid either, and the article I posted was saying how people up
up to their mid 20s were against love scenes in movies. that's also the demographic that will find the old bond problematic

Ford should play the villain. He’s 82 and making two tv shows atm and playing a bad guy in the MCU. Unstoppable.

Again, go back to the Bond in the books. He's not problematic. You keep on about sex in Bond, and yet the books themselves rarely have anything close to a sex scene. Amazon can very easily make Bond the way he is in the books. Read the books!

Really? Have you seen many of these people today? They're 25 going on 17.

Nah, pretty sure I can take him.

A fake door on a movie set took him out 10 years ago.

Rings of Power isn’t an adaptation.

25 year olds? Really? I truly doubt it. Why would they be? They have no money and spend little time watching movies compared to previous generations, they are not as big as boomers/gen x audience who have savings/retirement to spend.

nothing in the past 5 years has been made for boomers, not Netflix not Disney not Amazon. everything is literally made for zoomers .
