an SJW's take on James Bond


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFBmM1HLooA

The only thing more trite and annoying than the screams of Stacey Sutton, the comedy antics of Sheriff J.W. Pepper, and the presence of Bibi, are dumb social justice warriors who see everything through a "problematic" lens.

Give it a watch if your want your head to explode like Krest through over-consumption of stupidity.

The comment requesting they put a trigger warning in the description sums up the audience for that video. Bond is next on Hollywood's hit list, just put the guy behind that video in charge and boom they've destroyed Fleming's creation just like that.

Stuff like this makes me wonder... how did a generation that grew up on South Park and Family Guy become so overly sensitive and actively seek to take offense over every little thing in the media?

A couple of big things are 1. The universities shove this down the students throats and 2. The Big Corporations have caused the obesity epidemic(at least 40%) and it's so bad that men have checked out, letting women make bigger and bigger strides in the work force each year.
So, we have a nation of very unhealthy people and apathetic beta males = very unhappy society.

You could have said the same thing back in the 60s

How did a generation that grew up witnessing the demise of fascism and was constantly exposed to anti-communist propaganda develop into a bunch of draft-dodging, acid-dropping, pacifist hippies? Without military intervention, Hitler and the Axis Powers would have invaded every country. How does it make sense to endorse pacifism with that in your mind?

Sure, us millenials grew up with these raunchy cartoons. But we also grew up with ghetto/gangster rap, which spoke about the struggles of black people. We grew up after the AIDS epidemic, so we saw that gay people could face discrimination. We grew up watching strong female figures on TV: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Xena: Warrior Princess, Scully from X-Files, Ally McBeal, etc. etc.

I'm not picking sides. I hate SJWs as much as I hate conservatives. I just think that the pendulum tends to swing back and forth. The Vietnam War was a big catalyst for the hippie movement. Millenials witnessed 9/11 and the age of Terrorism since we were kids. Right after 9/11 there was a period of hawkish patriotism (remember changing french fries to Freedom fries because France didn't want to join us in the war?). Now the pendulum is swinging in the other direction. People became disillusioned after two decades of non-stop wars.

At the same time, we have probably the most anti-SJW president in history. So it's not all that simple. Extreme movements tend to breed extreme opposition. Who knows where this next decade will take us

I couldn't believe this when I heard the announcement...but actually, I can believe it with how shitty of a job Broccoli and EON are doing. The problem now is that unlike in the past where following trends resulted in silliness (kung fu in TMWTTG) or a crappy movie at worst (awful special effects in TWINE and DAD), copying recent trends (Marxism, feminism, #metoo, Marvel Cinematic Universe-style saga) this time will actually destroy the character and series.

I was just watching an interview with Rami Malek where he said something like "maybe you will even side with my villain character." That sounds awful to me. Villains are supposed to be these larger than life bad guys in Bond movies, and there isn't supposed to be moral ambiguity about it. I suspect that Malek means that his villain will be some kind of terrorist, but he's only a terrorist because of the 'evil' things that Bond and Britain have done to whatever part of the world Malek's character is from. Since this is in Jamaica, maybe it will be some radical Jamaican terrorist who is trying to get revenge on Britain for the 'evils' of colonialism or something like that. But the problem is that these Marxist filmmakers are going to actually exalt Malek's villain to the same level as a loyal patriot like Bond, and thus create confusion in the viewer's mind about who is really the evil one. Maybe the indigenous British conservative patriot who is willing to die in the line of duty for Queen and country is actually the 'bad' guy. Imagine how disgraceful that would be if this is actually the creative direction they go in.

I honestly want to see the Eon guys make an SJW James Bond. Like a black guy or a white chick

Not because I like the idea of sucking off SJWs and their bloodthirstiness for ruining franchises, but because James Bond is such a boring franchise

Mission Impossible, Jason Bourne, John Wick, Fast and Furious, superhero movies...

These franchises feature white male leads but manage to feel modern and interesting. Bond movies, to me, feel like mummified relics of the 60s and 70s

A guy in a suit, he's super cool, rarely shows emotions, fucks hot actresses with middling to no talent. How many times are we going to see this shit? Let us just see some SJW get their wet dream realized and laugh at the end result. That should be, AT LEAST, as entertaining as Austin Powers: Goldmember

Quantum of Solace sucked. Spectre sucked. 3/4 of Pierce Brosnan's movies sucked. Lets just do something really, really stupid and see what happens

So you obviously dont have the smallest clue about Bond movies and your mind stuck in the 60s and 70s. Thanks for your opinion.

I literally only talked about recent Bond movies LMAO. Thanks for your opinion

I had a glimpse of their efforts and its scary.
1st the liberal social justice warriors are well connected through the web.

They wont leave the room, but they have a small army.

And when they set their goals they go to town.

They.bomard movie companies with letters, emails and phones calls non stop.

They demand a colored person be represented as a strong character and not always the enemy.

They want a women as a strong lead character

They want a LGBTQ character represented.

If you dont, they will call LGBTQ. BLM, antifa and protest and make your life hell.

If you dont cave to their demands ,they literally say they will stop your business and make it uncomfortable for you to stay in your town.

Real messed up crowd

The video had a lot of good points. Most of it though is because it follows the same formula in every movie.
