The report outlined that the fallout is due to differences over the creative direction of the franchise, with Amazon reportedly in favour of “Marvel-style” ideas to expand the franchise, such as spinoff shows and films.

No, for fucks sake. No!

Broccoli is reported to have baulked at the pitch, telling friends that Amazon are “fucking idiots” who are taking the franchise “hostage”. She has reportedly expressed her disinterest in continuing to work with Amazon for any Bond films. NME has reached out to Amazon MGM Studios for comment.

"Fucking idiots" indeed. And too predictable, to be honest.

I'm actually not that opposed to a Bond TV show, shorter Bond adventures with more of the older style bonds campy nature and gadgets sounds like a fun time.

Or maybe use the Young Bond book series as a basis, they were pretty fun reads.

Young bond is River Cartwright.

However. I would like to follow some of the other 00's adventures.

Bond should go into the vault and should only be taken out after a decade or two intermission. The Daniel Craig era is a nice capstone to pause the franchise on. IMHO while Casino Royale was a nice reimagining of Bond the last three movies have become too derivative. Let the franchise rest and only revive it when it’s for something fresh and worthwhile. Don’t just make Bond movies for the sake of continuing the franchise.

Barbara Broccoli? Is this all a joke timeline?

What does Cara Cauliflower have to say?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Mind blowing bit of trivia - her ancestors did in fact "invent" broccoli, they made the hybrid and a fortune in the process.

Maybe all the joke names in the franchise were actually real names after all.

This is where all of the poorly thought out stories come to life.

Angelina Asparagus isn't going to be pleased with this news at all!

Bring in Steve Beefsteak to bring everything together

Everyone knows that Carl Caviar calls the shots.

No, she's gonna be pissed, and if you thought that shit hitting the fan was smelly...

Welp… rest well for now, 007. To say it has been a great run is an understatement. Amazon will likely get bored of this toy eventually and perhaps it will end up in competent hands again and we can simply laugh at whatever trash is produced.

Amazon has some good shows, like Invincible, Fallout and The Boys, but then there’s Rings of Power. RoP alone is enough for me to be okay with a Bond pause.
