Literally all they had to do was use a different codename. Heck, they could create a whole new franchise within the Bond universe following 001, 002, 003…

006 was the bad guy in one right?

or a traitor or some shit

Was he Sean Bean?

Yeah

cause he died

I'd actually encourage them to do more swapping of gender/race etc., ideally with ALL of movie history, so that every known protagonist ever will henceforth be non-white

non-male
non-straight
etc.

Sounds a bit gay tbh

The point is

If they do it unobstructed, it'll redpill just about every non-radical movie-goer

They do know that bond films were based on books.

They're doing it slowly and even this is redpilling the masses very slowly

Imagine what would happen if they did it rapidly

It would cause the left to implode

Why do people call Hitler the bad guy, but Mussolini is being somewhat sidelined? Because Hitler was more "successful", or more radical

It comes down to optics

"Screw your optics, I'm going in!"

Ultimately I see it as Germany being a very competent nation vs Italy which is known for its pizza and gelato

and losing almost as much as France...

Well sure, that too. My takeaway is that optics are directly proportional to scale.

lol France hasn't actually lost often

but w/e 😉

Yeah I would agree with that. Also Mussolini had impracticle goals while Hitler's goals were daring, but not beyond possibility.

That goes way beyond my knowledge

Hitler accomplished all of his goals but his interference in his own plans ensured he couldn't hold onto them.

Ya he shouldn't have blamed and gassed the Jews

Big mistake

He also shouldn't have redirected his assault on Moscow when they were only 50 miles away with almost 0 hard resistance

Hitler was bluffing throughout most of his conquests

The more I'm studying his wars, the more I come to believe that, had just one nation called his bluff, he would've been stopped

In the beginning definitely

Germany's army was not mechanized.

The English and French were and their biggest blunder was not advancing into Germany. They would've easily dominated.

Well, not sure about domination, but

France was weakened, so that's the one I understand the most

But Austria simply gave up, we didn't fight at all

I doubt Hitler could've annexed Austria had we actually faced him

To me it looked like Austria was kind of meh about it.

From all the wars, I know about Austria's annexation the most

Most articles and books I've read mostly focus on the invasion of France
