Writing a Bond script in 2024 must be a pain in the arse. “How about the villain wants to put deadly neural implants in everyones brain?” “Been done.” “Okay but how about if he wants to set up a Mars colony where everyone is his slave?” “Jesus Christ Paul we hired you to think OUTSIDE the box”
Bond movie but he's sent after someone who's objectively good because "They must be up to something." Turns out it's just more objective good, but the government still wants them gone because it's making them look bad and cutting onto their friends' profit margins.
One conspiracy theory I'll insist on is that NO TIME TO DIE was originally supposed to be about a biological virus, and all the nanobot stuff only came about in reshoots after COVID hit.
New villain organization named OX. Problem disguised, keep using Musk for ideas, let people realize "hey, what the fuck--" as they connect the dots to the real news. Hell, use ALL real fascists as bases for villainy.
at this point just make Bond the “villain”… he’s doing secret missions to take out progressive politicians bc they would enact policies which would affect his taxes as a high net-worth individual
Haha excellent. But honestly a few years ago my slight concerns that my father was becoming more conservative were placated by him turning to a piece about Musk in his newspaper and exclaiming that "this man is just a real-life Bond villain!"
