Last week, Amazon made one of the most head-scratching decisions since acquiring the rights to the James Bond franchise. For reasons still unclear as of this writing, the company removed guns from the posters for each iteration of 007 available on Prime Video. The likes of Daniel Craig and Pierce Brosnan were shown crossing their arms without a pistol in hand. After a healthy amount of backlash from fans of every cloth, Amazon has now quietly reversed its decision to remove the iconic spy’s favorite weapon of choice.
Once again, it is unclear what Amazon’s official reason was for removing them in the first place, but it is at least very clear that the company is listening closely to the fans. For reference, check out the gun-less images that have now been removed from the streaming platform.
More to come.
