Why This Can't Be News:

It's no surprise that Amazon Prime Video tried to silence Bond, I mean, who needs guns when you can have awkward silences? Apparently, they thought it was more "family-friendly" to Photoshop out the Walther PPKs and replace them with... nothing. Because, you know, Bond's signature move is now just standing there looking confused.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that Amazon would take creative liberties with the franchise. I mean, who needs artistic integrity when you can have bland, gun-free images? It's not like they're trying to make James Bond into a vegan spy or anything... although, now that I think about it, that wouldn't be a bad idea.

But seriously, Amazon, if you're going to try to sanitize the Bond franchise, at least have the decency to add some hipster mustaches and artisanal martinis. That would be an improvement over your current "Bond: The Censored Edition" approach. I mean, who wants to watch a spy without any... well, spy-ness?

And now that they've removed the offending artwork, we can all just pretend this never happened and Amazon will magically become a competent streaming service overnight. Yeah, because that's how it works... NOT.
