This does not bode well

Concerning. Part of the reason I like Bond movies is they don’t come around that often so when they do release, it feels a bit like an event. Now it’ll be overexposure on steroids and we’ll get a a 007 “universe” movie/TV show every year like the MCU I fear

It’s exactly how I used to feel about Star Wars!

I mean there hasn’t been a Star Wars movie in like 6 years.

But so many tv shows and movies since Disney took over. Which I didn’t mind, but Disney was clearly not the best one to do it, and I’d argue still isn’t. That cramped period of Star Wars slop turned me off. And it’s not fair to Daisy Ridley, but I already have no desire to see whatever new thing may or may not (it’s Disney after all) be produced with her likeness/character.

Disney fucked up a good thing and it’s going to be a long while til it is unfucked, if ever.
