Too ludicrous even for a Bond film. Even a Roger Moore Bond film.
God that is so true. It'd be funny if it wasn't so true.
Even an Austin Powers movie?
He might fit as an Austin Powers villain, especially if he had a bag of Cheetos in every scene.
Yuge bag. The biggest. No one has a bigger bag than me. Not even Chester. Great guy, Chester. Not as great as me but, who is?

I heard the Bond movies got more serious after the Austin Powers movies came out.

Lex Luther would call him a cliche.
Let’s be honest, even Lloyd Kaufman would’ve dismissed that as too on the nose for even him to direct that movie…
Biff?

True story. After the 2016 election, there was a panel discussion. They had all the creators of the top US political TV dramas; The West Wing: Scandal: Veep: House of Cards and others. Every writer and producer said the same thing. If they'd had a character who said that they 'liked soldiers who didn't get captured' the advertisers and network bosses would have demanded that the character be hated by all Americans.
South Park And SNL both commented that our 2016 situation was too ridiculous to parody
Back in the 1960s, it was a common joke that ronald reagan would never be President because no one would vote for a guy who co-starred with a monkey.
Today's GOP would ignore reagan and run the monkey

Dyslexic ass universe we live in . The 2020's were supposed to be 'the future', an advanced post-scarcity world. We got a post-satire world instead
This is what we get for over indulging on irony starting in the 90s.
Nothing has meaning anymore.
But maybe correlation isn’t causation…
I've become more and more aware of "Irony poisoning" in every facet of our culture, from movies to memes to every other human interaction.
Maybe because of social media influence, we're so scared that holding any kind of sincerity will reveal a vulnerability that will be ruthlessly attacked...
We must be ready to say "No I don't mean that seriously" and change our projection within a moment's notice when the culture winds change again.
It's so bad anymore that people now need to add "un-ironically" to explain that they genuinely feel anything at all...
... and sometimes that's said ironically.

If you look at 70s SF you get closer to the real 2020s.
AI taking over the world: Colossus: The Forbin Project
An Infectious agent causing problems: The Andromeda Strain
Human pollution causing massive issues: Soylent Green

Have we forgotten about Trump, the Koch brothers, hmm who else.
The current movie appears to be a bond idiocracy crossover.
Can we start talking about those who told the truth more than those who lie? Here's a short starting list:
Gary Webb
Milton William Cooper
Bill Hicks
Julian Assange
Edward Snowden
Anyone else?
Gary Webb killed himself, Milton Cooper was a quack, and Julian Assange is a far-right wing tool.
If he had released everything he had rather than just what he had on his enemies I would respect him a bit more.

My gen x friends complained about the villains in Captain Planet, but the we got Trump.
Also, Tomorrow Never Dies was loosely based on Rupert Murdoch.
My dad complained that Captain Planet was “libtard environmentalist propaganda” 30 years ago. Some things never change. Now it’s just Trump instead of Limbaugh.

Britain is not holding up its end here, producing the mega-shagger we need to save us all.
Groovy baby.
Well they tried with Boris Johnson, but he just couldn't quite make the cut.
He was more like that Bond parody with Rowan Atkinson. Bumbling and fumbling while bragging and shagging.

Hopefully not Richard Branson.
Bezos also seems pretty villain-y.
Yes, but instead of a Bond villain he's more of an Austin Powers villain

Hey, there’s also a New York businessman obsessed with gold and status who has political influence and ties to the ex KGB agent with goals of overturning democracy

We still have Murdoch media empire. The secretive media mogul pulling the strings from the shadows at the behest of the rich and powerful
Let me FTFY:
Penchant for poisoning, and having comrades mysteriously fall from very high places
Real estate baron that desperately wants to be dictator is pretty stupid too.

The real fiction is that government agencies would be trying to rein them in. If Musk came up with a ray that turned people into eldrich-style horrors, those agencies would be lined up as buyers.
Austin Powers at least got phallic shaped rockets right though
Look I get it's a joke but calling Elon and Putin "our two main antagonists" is mind numbingly stupid and doesn't seem to be the punchline.
The only group who I can think of that would be true for would be college freshman from upper middle class backgrounds that get their news exclusively from social media and do not have any attention span as a result of the Adderall shortage.
Putin has started the largest land war in Europe since WW2. Elon does shit that wouldn't even put him in the top 5 of evil billionaires. He's just super active on social media so anyone who puts in the slightest amount of effort can see what he's up to.
