I was expecting that comment.  I'm pretty sure woke dead and buried
now, so I wouldn't count on it.  Amazon is almost certainly going to do
to Bond what Disney did to Star Wars - expect multiple, mediocre
movies, spin-offs, marketing engagements, an advertising blitz that
makes your eyes bleed, a TV series available only on Prime-Plus-Ultra*
and the rest of the horsecrap Corporate America excels at.**

Of course! I would expect nothing less! I heard a rumour that they did a captain america with a negro as captain america. Horrible! I hope the company who did it gets closed down.
Probably the same will happen with Bond. I mean who ever bothers to watch star wars any longer? Andor, strangely enough, was somewhat ok.
I expect trans-jedis from now on. On the other hand... lots of IT billionaires have kissed Trumps hand, maybe Disney and Netflix will do a 180 and kiss his hand too?
If so, we might actually get to see some high quality movies for a change! =)
