The new 007 is a woman - jumping the shark moment confirmed.

But I get it, theres MRA geeks out there upset over the influx of female heroes introduced in old franchise properties, and ME is exploiting that no differently than how they covered Ghostbusters ‘16, Captain Marvel, etc, and now they’re aiming for Bond because they know the implications.

The point you are missing is that they number in their millions, and their dollars are worth just as much as anyone else's. Not to mention the fact that China is now a huge market, often with sales surpassing that of the US, and they really dislike western liberalism.

Bond has always saw much more success internationally than in the US. CASINO ROYALE for example didn’t have a US domestic take that would make anyone sneeze at, but it’s international was much more impressive. The only exception was SKYFALL, which saw the kind of numbers in the US it hadn’t seen since the 1960s, relatively speaking, which I suspect had to do with the 50th anniversary hype.

If those losers want to boycott a film before seeing a goddamn trailer, that’s their prerogative. They didn’t seem to be missed for CAPTAIN MARVEL’s box office.

The MCU is a completely different beast. Right now, it CAN NOT FAIL. And what was the boycott for Captain Marvel? I don't remember that. That was a lot of shit talking (I know, I was one of them) but that was because of Brie Larson's attitude not the film itself.

You’re right, it’s not much of a boycott when all they do is downgrade rotten tomato scores in mass.

It's more complicated actually.

I understand YouTube has become sort of a hub for MRA dudes, especially geeks like Nerdrotic. I think I watched the first Midnight’s Edge video covering Bond and with every single point made my brain was signaling “wrong” with a buzzer sound.

I think it was a bit where they emphasized Bond slapping women as if that’s a normal thing he does, and that the #MeToo would get rid of that.

Except Bond hasn’t actually slapped a woman in a very long time, and I can only count like three times he did that in all 24 films, the last being in Roger Moore’s second film where he was vocally not comfortable shooting the scene. Bond having to face the era of #MeToo is honestly no different than when the films started to address feminism/women’s lib movement of the 70s.

Ugh, those MRA-clowns are the worst. Blabbering about either "white genocide" or "male genocide". those guys should get their frakking head out of their filterbubble and see the reality.

What reality would that be then?

That there is no big conspiracy against men?

[Makeshift Python]

You mean women aren’t plotting to reduce men to breeding stock to ensure their sole custody over their children?

No - that's not going to happen.

Go on then, I'm game: find me a single MRA who thinks that. Or is this *shock* a strawman that you just fearlessly and bravely tore down?

So - tell me: What do MRAs think?

I can do better, I can find you someone who isn’t aware when one is just taking the piss.
