Big Mi6 James Bond henchperson ranking game

Hi all, it's been a while since our last game and to make the Christmas season even cosier, let's do another Bond ranking game. We haven't done the henchmen/women yet, so I feel this is an obvious one to do next.

Now, this category is extensive and, a few exceptions aside, I'd like to keep it to one per film. There is usually one major henchperson in each film. Sometimes there are two more or less on the same level of importance, sometimes it's hard to even pick one.

Taking all of that into account, this is the list I came up with:

DN - Prof. R.J. Dent
FRWL - Donald 'Red' Grant
GF - Oddjob
TB - Fiona Volpe
YOLT - Helga Brandt
OHMSS - Irma Bunt
DAF - Mr. Wint & Mr. Kidd
LALD - Tee Hee
LALD - Baron Samedi
TMWTGG - Nick Nack
TSWLM - Jaws
MR - Chang
MR - Jaws
FYEO - Émile Léopold Locque
FYEO - Erich Kriegler
OP - Gobinda
NSNA - Fatima Blush
AVTAK - May Day
TLD - Necros
LTK - Dario
GE - Xenia Onatopp
TND - Stamper
TWINE - Renard (Viktor Zokas)
DAD - Zao
DAD - Miranda Frost
CR - Valenka
QOS - Elvis
SF - Patrice
SP - Hinx
NTTD - Primo (Cyclops)

Please let me know down below if you'd like to participate. From 15 participants onwards, I'd say we're good to go.

    I miss playing these games. I’ll throw my hat into the ring to play this one! Great list too, by the way!

    Good idea.
    For OP I'd suggest Mischka & Grischka instead of Gobinda

    I understand where you're coming from, but I'm afraid I had to draw the line somewhere.

    Personally I love the knife-throwing twins, but Gobinda has more screentime, is higher-billed and stays around until the very end. I'm sure cases can be made for Ourumov or Milton Krest too, but afraid I just can't include them all. Sorry, mate.

    The list is fine @GoldenGun
    I think we respect the hosts choices for the game and carry on.

    Twine - Davidov
    Twine - Goldie
    Twine - Gabor

    Renard is my opinion not a henchman/person. If you only whant two, then it have been nice to to include Davidov also.

    While these guys are valid choices, I decided to only take the most 'prominent' one for each film. I settled on Renard since we included Elektra for the main villain game, and it seems to be Elektra calling the shots anyway. Hope you can live with that? :)

    Should we already send the list or do we have to wait for more participants?

    We're a bit short of 15 atm, not sure if @marc and @M_Balje will be joining us?

    I was about to bump the thread myself, but thanks for doing it for me @goldenswissroyale :)

    Okay folks, I hope many more will join. Having said that, you can start sending me your rankings in pm. Let's say there's time until Christmas for you to do so.

    Happy ranking, everyone.

    @GoldenGun
    I sent you my list. It was surprisingly difficult to rank these characters, I must say. I first had to decide by what criteria to do it.

    @GoldenGun

    My list has also been sent!

    Sent my list just now. This should provide some fun over the holidays.

    Sent mine yesterday. I'm looking forward to it.
    Great list @GoldenGun
    NSNA won't be revealed first, this time. And I don't think OHMSS will earn a medal. Everything new this time.
    Even if we don't assemble 15 members, it is interesting enough for me, since the participants here are generally also the members I'm mostly interested to learn more about their favourite Bond moments/characters.

    Random question - I noticed Jaws was included twice on the list of choices to rank from, once for TSWLM and another for MR. Should I simply rank him once or give two separate rankings for how I view him in the two separate films? My instinct is to rank him once but just making sure you get what you want. Hopefully that makes sense, haha.

    I included him twice because he is in both films the main henchman, and also because in MR they go for a slightly more comedic approach. So feel free to judge them seperately ;)

    For the Bond girl game we included Madeleine also twice, once for SP and once for NTTM.

    Fair enough. I zap my list over to you in a bit.
