Amazon Digitally Erases Guns from Iconic James Bond Posters on Prime Video...
Amazon has quietly photoshopped firearms out of the promotional posters for every single James Bond film available on Prime Video.
The alterations, a clear war on traditional masculinity and Second Amendment values, affect classics from Sean Connery's era all the way through Daniel Craig's final outing in "No Time to Die."
The changes were first highlighted by eagle-eyed fans on social media, with one X user, John A. Douglas, posting a side-by-side comparison showing the gun-free edits and lamenting, "They photoshopped all the guns out of the James Bond movie thumbnails. Just in case you still had hope for Amazon being in charge of the franchise."
Douglas's post quickly went viral, garnering thousands of likes and reposts as conservatives and Bond enthusiasts alike denounced the censorship.
Another user, Rufus Jones, mocked the results, noting that the edits make Connery and Pierce Brosnan appear to be gesturing rudely at viewers, quipping, "Amazon have removed the guns from their Bond posters, giving the tantalising impression that Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan think you're a wanker."
In the poster for "A View to a Kill," Roger Moore's once-menacing pose with a raised pistol has been transformed into him awkwardly standing in a brown suit.
Pierce Brosnan's "GoldenEye" artwork now shows him clenching a fist instead of gripping his Walther PPK, turning the action-hero vibe into something resembling a bad men's fashion ad.
For Daniel Craig's "Spectre," Amazon simply cropped the image at the waist to hide the gun.
