Have you read the debates here before the movie was released? A large number of people believed Max Denbigh was going to be Blofeld. Or M. Or Lucia Sciarra even. I had no issue then and have no issue now with a Jekyll and Hyde or Dracula twist, but you'd be surprised at the number of people who expected something else.
Yeah, I remember those theories. People even thought that Andrew Scott actually delivered the "You came across me so many times yet you never saw me" line in the trailer, even though that line was dubbed by Waltz's voice actors in foreign versions of the trailer.
Admittedly, when I walked into the theater back in 2015 I was not 100% sure that Waltz played Blofeld (though I expected it), but that's because I considered EON smarter and I thought they would surprise us. How wrong I was.

"A source." In other words: we made this all up, like everybody else has been doing.
But it's at least a believable story. There were creative differences between Waltz and Mendes on set. And then there was that strange Charlie Rose interview where Craig almost appeared to be laying blame on Mendes, saying he just zoned out and put it all in Sam's hands, after which Mendes abruptly cuts in and changes course. Not saying there's any truth to the Sun's story. Just saying if there was it wouldn't be a shock.
"Throw it down the toilet... cut out the middleman."
So you wouldnt pay to watch a bond film that ends with bond in love and retiring after killing blofeld, but you would watch a film about Blofeld killing bond?
Agreed. So lets say craig returns for 2 more both revolving around ohmss and yolt how should Craigs now old bond character end his arc. Like spectre where he drives off into the sunset?
Say what now? Where is this coming from?
Exactly. It doesn't need some lousy trick ending.
And that's correct but, I just feel like we started the Craig movies when he becomes a double o and because of all the continuity and bs with spectre and blofeld, they will have to somewhat reboot with the next actor. it would be cool if Craigs bond character came full circle
Fleming, Broccoli Saltzman and Maubam never gave Bond and Blofeld the personal connection either. If you think its beyond possible, think again. I wouldn't put anything past the current team at the moment.
Of course not, but were talking about the Craig era here. We've already had M killed, Bond family home, and Bro-feld. What's to say they won't be that one step "bolder".
People said Trump and brexit would never happen. Weve entered an era of suprises
What ever came of that boardie? I doubt they're still here.
I'm sure there's a bit of truth in this. The SP set was clearly not the happiest of places. The slashing wrists comment must relate to Craig having a bad time on set. And as we know Waltz has all but said he had serious creative differences with Mendes.
The fact Mendes hasn't done a commentary on SP is also telling.
'James Bond to Die in New Film'
Studio bosses plan to kill off James Bond in the next film in the series as Daniel Craig bows out of the role with a bang which will shock fans. A source on reputable Bond site 'MI6 Community' states the title will be 'Everything or Nothing (and Craig's Bond dies at the end).'
Another source responded 'That's a neat idea. I suppose if the Craig era is it's own self contained story, there's no reason he can't die at the end of it.'
EON, the producers of the Bond films have not commented officially but with what is almost certain to be Daniel Craig's final film as 007 they will want him to bow out in spectacular style.
However the idea has proved to be controversial among the fan community and many have reacted negatively to these reports with one fan commenting 'Killing Bond off is beyond arrogant. Distastefully so. Fleming didn't end up doing it, Broccoli and Saltzman never did.'
The Craig era has not been scared to shake things up though memorably killing off Judi Dench's M in box office smash Skyfall so could they really be planning for Bond to live and let die this time round?'
Once this story gets posted then some mug will post a link to it here and this thread will go into a frenzy like a load of chavs fighting over Primark tat at the January sales.
I wonder why people expected to be surprised as if there absolutely HAS to be a twist they hadn't seen coming up. That's why I always considered it a Jekyll and Hyde twist.
