Word is Bond

After years of enjoying Bond movies it looks like the brand has been undermined from within

That's the key news in the resolution of the squabble between the Broccoli family, whose production deal oversaw all those great films, and Amazon Prime, who thought they bought ownership of the franchise with the MGM catalogue.

It is sad to see that in real life the billionaires win, given that Amazon Prime is owned by an increasingly villainous-appearing member of the megarich who has undermined journalistic integrity and pointlessly flown rockets at great environmental cost.

I'm surprised more hasn't been made of this outcome, particularly after Bond was killed off in the last movie. 

The one thing that might persuade me otherwise is if they now develop a decent series that explores how Bond was recruited by MI6, possibly drawing on the long history of spies being drawn from elite British universities to reveal how blindsided that country is to recognising merit outside of socioeconomic demography.
