Studios were surprised in Hollywood when the new James Bond film No Time To Die didn’t blow the doors off the box office over its opening weekend. Like every other underperforming fool these days, they wanted to blame Covid, which governments created to commit election fraud, not that they killed James Bond in the movie. Who thought that was a good idea? After 60 years of narrow escapes, they found a way and a time for James Bond to die at the end of No Time To Die. They probably should have taken their own advice given to them in the title. It was just another disappointment that we are all getting used to strong, white, male characters that progressives think they can kill in stories and replace them with women or people of color for the sake of the visual aspects of things and that people would accept it. Over the last two years, as we have waited for this movie to come out, the rumors of the next James Bond being a woman, a gay guy, or all kinds of other things have been discussed openly. When the movie finally opened, enough people had enough. It leaked out that this Daniel Craig James Bond was going to die, and people weren’t exactly in a rush to see it happen. It’s not enough to make a technically good movie; James Bond is one of those special cases where he’s a hero who always gets away, like Bugs Bunny. But then again, Bugs Bunny is pretty much banned these days too. Any strong characters without obvious flaws in the mind of progressives are a danger to their politics, so they look to get rid of them and replace them with flawed, mortal characters who are easy to control by the government.
This isn’t unique to the Bond film franchise. I have written many hundreds of thousands of words about the failure of Disney to handle the Star Wars franchise. It was astonishing that given all the great resources they had in Star Wars left to them by George Lucas, that they screwed it up so badly. Yet when I saw The Force Awakens back in 2015, it was clear that when they decided to kill Han Solo, the plan was the same as Bond. Kill off Anglo-Saxon white men in the public’s minds so their rule over mankind will end, starting with stories. Then replace them with people of color and women, and make them like it. That was essentially the goal of the new Star Wars films, and people rejected them so severely that the brand is now permanently damaged. Disney has a new CEO who has been brought in to fix things. Lucasfilm is also moving people around who like Star Wars to repair the brand, which will take years if possible. I think they’ll make things better, but the damage is already set. Some things you can’t tamper with. If a character has a special place in people’s minds, you better treat them well and not take them for granted. Otherwise, don’t expect to use them to drive box office results while at the same time appeasing all the anti-capitalist radicals who have infiltrated leftist thinking for communist domination of the world.
Star Wars is an easy one to see because it’s so obvious. As big of a company as they are, Disney never understood why people liked the film franchise. Some of the plotlines they have introduced then rejected over the last several years indicate that Kathy Kennedy never understood why the films she was invited to produce worked, like the Indiana Jones films and all the Steven Spielberg projects she was a part of. Because she thought she could interfere with what the public liked and that as long as space creatures and spaceships were flying around, that people would buy a ticket to her liberal propaganda. Well, as it turns out, that’s not how things work. People want heroes they can believe in. People worth watching who manage to outsmart the bad guys. That’s why people buy a movie ticket. Reality is tough enough. When people enter a darkened theater, they want to see hope.
I think movie box office results are some of the best votings there are. People truly vote with their feet. It’s not easy for Democrats to cheat the vote because they still can’t control what people like. Ultimately people decide what they like and see and if they don’t want to see James Bond getting killed. Then they won’t see it happen. They might catch the movie on cable later, but they aren’t going to pay money to see it happen. One of the clear political strategies that China has in mind for America and all the Davos insurgents is to rob our culture of hopes and dreams and instead show that even James Bond eventually gets it in the end. Filmmakers seem to want to praise those types of people at cocktail parties rather than being blamed for being just another capitalist producer who put profits over the party. The ultimate check on that power is to reject those films at the box office, which happened with the new James Bond film. They killed Bond. And the box office reflects that people didn’t want to see it happen. Just as Disney killed off Han Solo and thought they could replace him with some Dora the Explorer character, and they’d still make money.
Yet to continue to hide these things from the public, every time they get caught, Covid is used to hide the incompetence of the participants. No Time To Die was supposed to be released in early April of 2020. It has had its release date pushed back many times, finally hitting theaters in October of 2021, really at a terrible time for a Bond film. This is what the Great Reset looks like, folks. Incompetent people release their movies that used to be valuable to the public. The public forgets about them and moves on to other things, and when the results don’t come out the way stakeholders expect, well then, they blame Covid. Ultimately, governments have interfered with the marketplace, and the bootlickers have wasted more time appeasing them than actually trying to make a movie people want to see. The governments are the new audience to appease, not the popcorn-eating public, and these projects are flat and boring. And coming out of a disappointing time when governments tried to completely take over our healthcare with a made-up crisis in Covid, built in a Wuhan lab in China by Dr. Fauci NIH funding, movie producers are trying to take away anything that might be considered good in our movies and entertainment. Their message to us is, “see, even James Bond gets it in the end. Not even he can escape our power.” It shouldn’t come as a surprise to any of us, given what we have seen from authority figures in 2021. The bad guys wrote this latest James Bond film as propaganda for the future they want to control. That understanding makes me proud to see that people didn’t get suckered into it and decided to stay home. No Time To Die didn’t come up short at the box office because of Covid. People are starving for reasons to get out of the house. They aren’t scared of the virus. No, they don’t want to see one more icon of western civilization killed in front of their faces, which was the intention of the woke James Bond of this modern age. People voted in a way that Democrats couldn’t steal, and it shows in the box office ultimately.
