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.

"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."

On the contrary--today's Hollywood would make the Empire the "good guys".

This is iconoclasm, every bit as much as tearing down a statue or renaming a street George Floyd Blvd.

Ok, Bond has to die now.

I think even Bond wants to die now.

Who knows... Maybe that’s why Daniel Craig said “Oh hell, no more. I’m done. Just kill me off!”

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!

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..

James Bond was always bad news. But men like Bond were felt to be necessary during the Cold War. Are they still needed? Or are they focused on the wrong enemies?

Or maybe Bond was fighting the wrong enemies most of the time even back then. Most of the time he wasn’t fighting the Soviets. Maybe we should expect that he’d fight for woke billionaires who want to control the world now.

So that’s where we’re at now....basically vilifying those that don’t agree with you.

Sounds like the villain is the hero and it is time that that nefarious agent for MI6 and the crown dies the ignominious death in the arms of a Medusa like female for his polyamorous sins.

Well, since they KILLED Bond in the last movie, I won’t be seeing any more, where they twist it so they bring him back or he didn’t really die, or…
60 years was a great run. It’s over.

“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. “


People like Breitbart used to focus on the problem of Left dominance of the popular culture.

But when the “culture” is this lame, not being associated with it is an asset.

I will not be bothering with any new James Bond movie that will inevitably portray Bond as a transexual strong black woman who hates the United Kingdom and who passionately hates the USA and Christians.

No thanks.

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.

It’s OK if they’re all gay, right? Or trans?

Ian Fleming is turning in his grave. :(
