My guess is it will be closer to Star Wars than Lord
of the Rings or Wheel of Time.
Yeah. Not all Bond movies were good, but they were at least rare which made them feel special.
Now? Oh boy. Amazon did not buy this franchise to turn out three movies a decade, that's for sure.
I promise there will be a James Bond streaming series, and probably multiple James Bond streaming series. And there will be spinoffs. Ever wonder what Q does when he's not making gadgets for Bond? You're going to find out in his own series. How about Miss Moneypenny? Oh yeah. Another important load-bearing column in the James Bond Cinematic/Streaming Universe. It's absolutely going to be a Star Wars / Marvel kind of thing.
I hate it, even though... if we're honest, it's not like Bond was some highbrow thing. Most of the movies were fun, but few were what people would really think of as "great." Nearly all of them had a camp factor between "moderately high" and "very high." But still.
