Welp with that James Bond is dead to me. Thanks Jeff Bezos, removing the Broccoli family who has been in control this entire time of the franchise is stupid. What she said was true anything coming from this now will be shit!

Amazon paid nearly $1B for creative control of the #JamesBond franchise

When Jeff Bezos read that Barbara Broccoli called the Amazon execs 'fucking idiots', he reportedly said ‘I don’t care what it costs, get rid of her’

Sadly, James Bond couldn't run into FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper. Or **could he**? #JamesBondIsDead

Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) in the Black Lodge, which is kind of like Purgatory but with red curtains and a talking tree and stuff like that. Hashtag Twin Peaks.

Wait! The hashtag gives me an idea: James Bond in purgatory! He has to figure out how to cone back to the world in some different way! #JamesBondIsDead could be the title! THIS IS JUST OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD

The Broccolis and Wilson, as far as I can tell, have *never* worried about these transitions between Bonds beyond "What can we do differently this time?" Having the Daniel Craig Bond films fit into their own continuity is just one (admittedly major) different thing they did. #JamesBondIsDead

I hope ths new producers call Barbara Broccoli for advice and she laughs and laughs and says "Oh, not so easy to make this work, is it?" #JamesBondIsDead

I like that the producers are now going full Annie Wilkes about their own decision, and every response to this is people going “I don’t give a shit, just pretend it didn’t happen.”

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."
