I ate the onion. This is on point.
Uh, brb, I’m off to write & submit a movie script…
I ate it too. In China, they do this with their cinema, and I partook heavily of that product for many years, so it felt familiar.
Oh shit, I bit that onion a tad too hard. What has the world come to?
So a quick thought experiment. If Bezos personally funded another $300,000,000 Amazon Bond flop out of his own pocket, he could actually do that almost 700 more times before he was only a singular billionaire.
Think about this; “Thunderball” and “Goldfinger” where Bond assaults women with impunity were considered fine for kids to watch, and even generated children’s toys.
Heck, there was a toy Xenomorph for 1979’s Alien too! And that was even weirder because Alien was R rated and theoretically no children should have been allowed to watch it.
Yeah it would be terrible if James Bond was used as some kind of cheap propaganda tool. Could you imagine James Bond - a sexyfied whitewashed secret agent of a globe-spanning colonial empire - being used as propaganda. What a world that would be…
Ah, you got me. It was just cartoon villain enough.
lmao I would absolutely watch a satire like this.
Does anyone know if any series ever satired itself? Especially with the same actors?
Ian Fleming crated the characters in “The Man From UNCLE” Napoleon Solo and April Dancer. The UNCLE shows were pretty tongue-in-cheek.
TIL
[nsfw] there’s an episode of Mad Men where young Sally Draper finds her womanhood while watching a young David McCallum fighting the forces of evil.
There are a lot of things close to that in scifi. The Starship Troopers movie is a satire of the book it’s based on, and the Orville is a satire of Star Trek with a lot of Trek actors taking part.
The pinnacle of self-parody though is, of course, Star Trek: Lower Decks
They’re going to modernize plots of old unionization climaxes where they were like “if you won’t acknowledge our union we’re going to fucking blow up the factory and you will have nothing” and they’ll twist it in to a sob story about how the unions are terrorists and how the factory owner has a family and children and :'(. Surprised more of it hasn’t already happened lol.
Almost ate the onion with this one 😅

Just going to be a lot of shitty careless union workers that Amazon can’t terminate.
Before you say “living wage”, they’d still be shitty careless workers.
