Amazon in U-turn over gunless James Bond artwork amid fan backlash
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Amazon Prime Video appears to have quietly restored James Bond artwork to its original form, guns and all, following fan outrage. The streamer, which earlier this year controversially assumed complete control of the iconic spy franchise, recently faced backlash from fans who noticed that special Prime Video artwork had edited out Bond's guns. In several of the posters, including Sean Connery's Dr. No (1962) and Pierce Brosnan's Goldeneye (1995), their weapons were entirely airbrushed out."
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporters covering issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, and keeps its journalism accessible without paywalls. The Independent positions donations as enabling reporters to speak to both sides and produce documentaries such as 'The A Word', spotlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. Amazon Prime Video reportedly restored James Bond posters after fans noticed weapons had been airbrushed or cropped out of several pieces of artwork. Fans criticized the edits, comparing Bond without a gun to iconic characters stripped of defining symbols and demanding restoration.
