This new villain sounds BASED.
Birkett was an ex-Tory MP, famous for promoting covid/vaccines/mask-wearing/5G conspiracy theories, which had spilled over into the usual anti-immigrant, anti-EU, anti-BBC, anti-MSM, anti-cultural Marxist, Climate Change Denial pronouncements. It was an anti-trans diatribe that had eventually got him kicked out of the party and he'd soon after set up the 'New Freedom Party'.
OH NO! THE BOND SUPERVILLAIN DOESN'T LIKE OPEN BORDERS, THINKS MARXISM IS BAD, DISLIKES GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA, WON'T GET THE JAB, AND HATES GLOBALIST ELITES??
Bond was struck by something. It was a long while since he'd been at any kind of function that was almost exclusively full of men. It felt strange. There was not even a pretence at diversity here.
That's right: James Bond - the guy who used to stop commies who wanted nuclear war or mad scientists from poisoning the planet and repopulating it with a master race - now feels uncomfortable in a room full of (presumably white) men.
GASP!
Where are the gay flags? Where are the transgender activists of color? Where are the twerking drag queens? Is there anybody at all in this English gathering named Mohammed? HOW WILL BOND SURVIVE THIS??
In 20 years, we've gone from having M call Bond a misogynist pig:
To Bond becoming a neurodivergent queer ally who loves his globalist pals over at the WEF (which totally doesn't mirror the shadowy organization of elites plotting world domination like Spectre).
Athelstan hadn't been the least bit concerned about ensuring that half of the people he'd hired to carry out his coup should be women, or non-white, or disabled. This was an unapologetically old-school gathering. In Athelstan's world he was king and could do whatever he wanted.
HE DIDN'T HIRE WOMEN OR DISABLED PEOPLE FOR HIS EVIL ORGANIZATION!
Yes, this is for a real book called "On His Majesty's Secret Service" that came out this summer.
It would make Ian Fleming roll in his grave.
Give me the heir of England's founding king over woke Bond any day! The woke create this idiotic straw men out of anyone who doesn't think exactly like them, then imagine them to be the supervillains plotting to destroy the world.
Ah yes, they think, it's the Jesus-following, conservative family man who doesn't believe unlimited illegal immigration from countries that don't share baseline values is the one who will destroy humanity.
What a great idea, they think, to have James Bond fight for a cranky old globalist and his elitist pals. That'll show those freedom-loving extremists who don't like totalitarian control imposed through a lab-created virus from China!
This is why Hollywood can't write good villains anymore. They'd make Darth Vader a church-going, monogamous married man who doesn't believe in the merits of universal healthcare. These people simply have no idea what good and evil even mean anymore!
RIP, Bond!
Thx for the warning. We’ll pass
Oh jeez, I saw one youtuber post a page of this novel earlier, and it mentioned “Aethelstan”, getting historical details about him completely wrong (implying he thought of himself as “British” when his people actually fought the “British”), but I thought it was just a one-off thing. Now I see the writer is continuing to use “Aethelstan” as a recurring motif. It’s like a criminal returning to the scene of a crime.
On the contrary--today's Hollywood would make the Empire the "good guys".
Didn't George Lucas, say that he modelled the "Rebellion" based on the Viet Cong?
sound like there’s a new superhero in town. definitely a superhero.
who’s up for the bond role?
karine jean-pierre?
dylan mulvaney?
This is iconoclasm, every bit as much as tearing down a statue or renaming a street George Floyd Blvd.
Rumor has it that they are contemplating a FEMALE BOND.............
who is playing the bad guy?
Trump?
Nigel Farage?
Orban?
Liberals ruin everything...........................
attaway to go....kill the franchise with wokedom.
Ok, Bond has to die now.
I think even Bond wants to die now.
I identify as a villian.
Who knows... Maybe that’s why Daniel Craig said “Oh hell, no more. I’m done. Just kill me off!”
Our villains are different because forces that damage us are different.
An 'elite' sees laws as restrictions hampering his ability to exploit his power over others. Elites don't need laws - laws stand in their way. Elites prefer rules based on shallow and stupid: holding the right 'beliefs', wearing the right clothes, working for the correct diversity..
Free citizens want laws to stop monsters like cartel thugs, intelligence thugs, WOKE democrats, and people who want to hurt their children and loved ones Laws restrict evil and laws protect decent people..
“No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!”.......................
The Empire was more of a meritocracy than the Jedi.
This looks like a novel rather than a movie script.
I’m not sure any of the post-Fleming novels got made into movies.
Maybe they will finally Kill the franchise with woke..
Then it will take a Tim, Burton, Qeunton Tarantino, Mel brooks. and Frank Miller (batman Darkside) script.
To undo all of the woke and Make Bond Great Again.
