A recent decision by Prime Video to remove James Bond's iconic gun from promotional artwork has sparked outrage among fans. The streaming service, which acquired creative control of the James Bond franchise in February 2025, has been accused of 'woke nonsense' and 'censoring the past' by altering the well-known images of the secret agent. This change, which occurred just days before James Bond Day, has caused a stir among Bond enthusiasts, who argue that Bond without his gun is like Batman without his cape. The altered posters, where the gun is either cropped out or edited out entirely, have left fans feeling betrayed by Amazon's handling of the franchise. As Prime Video has yet to issue a statement, the debate continues, with many questioning the motives behind this decision and its impact on the legacy of the iconic character.
