I wanna talk about modern writers, humaning, and why most everything nowadays seems to suck. Let’s start with a tweet.
Is this is a “woke” line? No, but it’s an obnoxiously Feminist line, a real eye roller at the time. Fortunately, once the movie got the stupid out the rest of it was fun, old fashioned James Bond excellence and M had a genuine affection for James. It was the start of the slow seepage of anti-masculine Feminism into the James Bond films that would eventually kill them, but it hadn’t yet poisoned them entirely.
The writers didn’t hate James Bond, and they didn’t hate the audience.
“Woke” always hates the audience, and it always hates the characters, situations, and history of whatever movies, TV shows, comics, book series it’s working with. Fine, call it the canon, the lore, the IP if you must. Woke hates it, and wants it changed.
The movies, TV shows, comics, books being made now are almost without exception utterly devoid of humanity. The characters don’t act like people, because Woke writers don’t know how to human.
We’ve replaced wisdom with ideology, replaced truth with lies, and thus they have no power to move or inspire.
Woke wants to replace the lore, rewrite the canon, and destroy the IP in order to preach about their ideology, in order to recite their litany of lies. They have a series of checkboxes, ever mutating checkboxes, each work must tick off. And in order to do so, characters cease to act like people, even fictional people, and instead act like slogan-spouting robots.
So no, M wasn’t Woke, because she still acted like a human being, not a Woke girlboss. And James Bond wasn’t humiliated, derided, despised, made to look like a tool and a fool. He was still the hero.
Woke won’t let James Bond be the hero anymore.
