OK. It was Prodigy by Image Comics. They also had one called Prodigy: This Icarus Society. That one I liked.
No wonder I liked it. Mark Millar was on it.

Last thing, but the OP was good because if we want Eric to succeed, authentic feedback matters.

If someone did, like, John Boyega in the role of Prodigy, there would be no need for a black James Bond.

Sure you saw this.
Something about bad white men being the villains now. Anyone on the right? Something like that.
They are going to wreck James Bond.

Meme of James Bond 007 as Woman.

Producer Barbara Broccoli Says They Are ‘Reinventing’ James Bond, Says ‘Nobody’s In The Running’ As Next 007

Just the headlines give off bad vibes.

“Nobody’s in the running,” longtime Bond franchise producer Barbara Broccoli revealed…

Broccoli, whose father Sir Albert Broccoli first brought Ian Fleming’s British spy to the screen, now controls the franchise through her company, Eon Productions.

Why is that?

“We’re working out where to go with him, we’re talking that through,” Broccoli says. “There isn’t a script and we can’t come up with one until we decide how we’re going to approach the next film because, really, it’s a reinvention of Bond. We’re reinventing who he is and that takes time.”

Reinventing?  Rebooting?  Reimagining?  Ruining!

In “No Time To Die”, Craig’s Bond was killed off following a standoff with villain Saffin (Rami Malek). Co-star Ralph Fiennes, who was present at the BFI Fellowship dinner alongside Broccoli, quips that his character M, and Naomie Harris’s Moneypenny might be the ones to get a new 007 up to speed in the next film.

“Naomie and I are the people to fix it. You find him and we’ll train him,” he says.

So is James Bond just a code name then?

Just like the term 007.

Broccoli previously stated that the role should go to a man, though he could be of any ethnicity, as long as he’s British.

How many non-British serves on Her Majesty’s Secret Service/is in the British Armed Forces?

“I believe in making characters for women and not just having women play men’s roles,” Broccoli..

“I don’t think there are enough great roles for women, and it’s very important to me that we make movies for women about women. He should be British, so British can be any [ethnicity or race].”

So long as they HONOUR Fleming’s character.  But race swapping just for the sake of race swapping is also a non-starter for me.

Now if the actor is himself British?  That I think should go to the best actor for the part/script… so long as He is still a HE.

For me, a Jane Bond is a non-starter.

“Black Adam” smashes into theaters and IMAX internationally beginning 19 October 2022 and in North America on October 21, 2022. It will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.

He said The King’s Man was pretty good. I like Kingsman in the past. Enjoyed the first two. I think it’s a good example that spy franchises can succeed outside of James Bond. The direct, Matthew Vaughan, supposedly really wants to do a Cavill Superman movie. After this, he might be the director for a Cavill James Bond?

It is set in World War 1.

In 1902, British aristocrat and Duke of Oxford, Orlando, his wife Emily, and their young son Conrad visit an aid camp in South Africa during the Boer War while working for The Red Cross. Emily is killed during a Boer sniper attack on the camp, causing Orlando, a sworn pacifist, to determine that the world needs someone to head off such conflicts before they occur.

Twelve years later, Orlando recruits two of his servants, Shola and Polly, into his spy network dedicated to protecting the United Kingdom and the British Empire from the approaching Great War. Conrad, eager to fight, is forbidden to join-up by the over-protective Orlando, who speaks with Herbert Kitchener, the leader of the British war effort, to ensure Conrad cannot enlist. Orlando and Conrad also meet Captain Morton, one of Kitchener’s military associates.

Conrad and Orlando ride with Archduke Franz Ferdinand in a parade through Sarajevo, Bosnia, and Conrad saves the Archduke from a bomb thrown by Gavrilo Princip, a rebel intent on sparking a war. Later, however, Princip happens to run into the Archduke’s entourage again, this time succeeding in fatally shooting Ferdinand and his wife.

Orlando’s group, composed mostly of other dignitaries’ socially invisible servants, learn that Princip was part of a plot to pit the German, Russian, and British empires against each other. The group, headed by a mysterious Shepherd, have their own network of agents, including the Russian mystic Grigori Rasputin, a trusted advisor to Tsar Nicholas of Russia.

Rasputin, at the orders of the Shepherd, manipulates Tsar Nicholas by poisoning his young son, and only “curing” him when Tsar Nicholas promises to leave the war. Conrad is notified of Rasputin’s manipulation by his cousin who works under the Tsar. Knowing the Western Allied front will be left vulnerable if Russia leaves, Conrad delivers this information to Kitchener and Morton, who set sail for Russia. Their boat is torpedoed by the Shepherd, apparently killing them both. Word of Kitchener’s death reaches Orlando, spurring him to head to Russia with Shola, Polly, and Conrad to deal with Rasputin once and for all.

At a Christmas party hosted by Conrad’s cousin, Orlando attempts to poison Rasputin but the plan fails. Orlando, Shola, Conrad, and Rasputin fight, the skirmish only ending when Polly shoots and kills Rasputin. At the Shepherd’s orders, Erik Jan Hanussen, an advisor to Kaiser Wilhelm II, sends the Zimmerman Telegraph, hoping to distract Britain and the United States. However, President Woodrow Wilson refuses to join the war without concrete proof. The Shepherd recruits Vladimir Lenin and orders his Bolsheviks to overthrow the Tsar to get Russia out of the war.

Now of age, Conrad joins the British army against his father’s wishes. Orlando meets with King George V, who summons Conrad back to Britain. Conrad sends back a young soldier named Archie Reid in his place, giving him the codename “Lancelot.”

Conrad volunteers for a mission across No-Man’s Land to retrieve information from a British agent, mistaken for a German and caught in friendly fire. Conrad and a small squad venture across No-Man’s Land, but encounter German shock troopers crossing silently from the other side. The troops engage in a silent combat, unable to use firearms because it would set off both sides, killing everyone in the crossfire. Conrad is saved from an armoured soldier when the Tommy who led the mission shoots and kills his attacker, but the ensuing crossfire kills everyone but Conrad. Conrad manages to escape and bunker down in a crater where he meets the spy they were sent to retrieve. Conrad carries him back to the trenches but is mistaken for a German spy when he claims his name is Archie Reid. Conrad is shot and killed; however the information he retrieved from the spy is proof the United States needed to enter the war.

The proto-Kingsman learn President Wilson is being blackmailed with a film of him seduced by one of the Shepherd’s agents, Mata Hari. Orlando locates Hari at the American embassy and recovers her scarf, made from rare wool only found in one specific region of Scotland. Correctly identifying this location as the Shepherd’s base of operations, Orlando, Shola, and Polly head there and fight their way inside.

Morton, Kitchener’s adjutant, is revealed to be the Shepherd. Orlando and Shola kill Morton while Polly recovers the original film negative of Wilson’s seduction, allowing his country’s forces to mobilse.

A year on after the war, Orlando purchases the Kingsman Tailor Shop as a front for his organisation. Orlando, Shola, Polly, King George, and Archie Reid form the original Kingsman, each assuming a codename from the King Arthur legend to honor Conrad.

In a mid-credit scene, Erik Jan Hanussen introduces Lenin to a young Adolf Hitler.

It’s a shame that Bond has to be a Brit only as, yes there’s a lot of American actors that could easily pull him off. But I’ll stand by what I said before; Clive Owen would’ve made a great James Bond.

On a unrelated note who’d win in a fight between James Bond and…..BATMAN!!!!!?????

I personally don’t mind Daniel Craig’s Bond, but i still 100% agree with That Star Wars Girl’s review

Not the super woke garbage that was marketed, but still not great

Let me get this straight, SJWs constantly reeeeeeee about giving minorities more opportunities, and what happens when a young black woman becomes 007 after Bond retires? They go out of their way to make her as unlikeble as they fucking can! She’s annoying, entitled, and disrespectful, yes she has a change of heart by the end of the movie, but it’s so sudden and rushed that it makes it feel forced and fake

Best part of the movie by far is Paloma played by Ana de Armas, great performance and great character, she’s smart, badass, and respects James Bond, she got way too little screentime
