So far, you have probably heard that Amazon gained the creative control of the franchise James Bond in a new joint venture with long -term Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson holders who have decided to withdraw. As soon as the news was hit, the reactions that went from shock to curiosity to comprehensive rage gathered online. In short, all random are not happy.
Look, I get it. James Bond has exceeded the limitations of a direct spy narrative. He is the one who scored the course and brought to the modern era of the genre on the big screen. And this is where he has endured for the last six decades. Thanks to the broccoli family control over exclusivity, 007 has overlooked traces that have come with large iconic IP corporations for any number of possible projects – whether preaching or spinoff.
It is easy to get angry about the news. What if this deal is a good thing?
James Bond’s future is everyone’s assumption. Will this be the latest intellectual property to get Marvel and Star Wars treatment with the universes of small screen auxiliary story? Bond’s place has always been on the big screen, and many (including me) are afraid that this agreement will strongly run property from cinematic art to the product of the Serial. Or will Amazon keep the narrative car James Bond Narrative on the way it has been for decades – and will keep its adventures only on the big screen until a specified broadcasting?
You probably went down to this page after moving through countless items and comments on how this action is terrible. Instead of relying on all negative speculation, let’s go through some of the ways this agreement can benefit from the exclusivity James Bond.

Attractive to a younger audience
I don’t think someone wants James Bond to be reduced to a common tiktok meme. But we should not ignore the declining trend of the cash return over the years. Holding James Bond on the big screen has been a gift for exclusivity, but perhaps shifting the property to the broadcast is the right movement to keep the heart of exclusivity for another 60 years.
Complete unfolding: I’m close to the big 50 Mark, so I’m not here to assume what the new audience wants. But let’s accept the biggest appearance: broadcasters like video and Netflix have strengthened the attention of the audience at home, and this entertainment trend is not leaving.
Less a reception between sequels
While the value of the production of James Bond films has improved over the years, the expectation between sequels has increased longer. If you take a look at the first days of the 007 film exclusivity, a new installment turned out almost every one or two years. This kind of return no longer exists – the audience expects larger parts established and sequences of Riveting’s action.

Fans waited longer among the films during the years of Daniel Craig, the latest link. Between Quantum of Sorace and Skyfall, there was a four -year reception; Among the Specter and no time to die, there was a six -year reception. In an era where they regulate the short attention, the reduction of the time fans have to wait between the installments is essential.
TV series competition
Let us turn to the elephant in the room. While Craig took over the character, the films James Bond did not show a constant journey with history for the celebrated spy. However controversial it was to take on his role, this narrative decision interrupted the story expectations and potentially opened the door to arches similar to history in the future of exclusivity.
There is a lot of discussions about Amazon’s potential to develop spinoffs that can expand the story universe to focus on iconic characters like Ms. Monepenny and Q. If Streamer released a series by exploring Blofeld’s bad origin in the same way HBO for Batman Villain The Penguin, I would be here for him. It all depends on the way the story is told.
This brings me to the notion of concentrating a television series around 007. Let’s remember, this is Amazon, which offers a growing bastion of “Dad TV” shows. The success of properties like Jack Ryan, Reacher and Cross shows that there is a demand for serial adventures pursuing heroes whose only mission is to fight evil and maintain justice for the greatest good.
Can work. However, it is repeated: it all depends on the way history is told. James Bond is an icon. It transcends the genre, and if Amazon considers what is good for himself and exclusivity, the company will not get any great shakes. At least not yet. You know the saying: If it is not broken, do not fix it. Anyone Amazon chooses to do next, I can’t help, but I hope it will be worth everything.
