Blofeld in OHMSS
Silva in SF
just to name a few...
If I did a quick list of my very favorite off the top of my head, that is Scaramanga, Donald Grant, Hugo Drax and Kamal Khan, you have a kind of assortment. Some will go after Bond a bit more, while others may sit back a little and let others have a go. Above all else, they must be at least competent or a definite match for Bond, or a plausible adversary. Such names as Greene, Carver, Elvis, Kristatos or even Whitaker, really didn't pose much of a threat to 007 on their own, and it's these types of villains that can irritate sometimes. A dangerous villain, is a good villain, or at least one the viewer can actually feel some measure of threat when watching. Davi's Sanchez would be one fine example, although I never really found him that threatening
Bardem this year, wasn't menacing. I found him different to the usual main adversary, but simply wasn't intimidating, but still a fun character, that had a very disappointing exit, after two and a half hours of build up (to that moment)
*cough* 'Blofeld' *cough*
You know, I feel like it's time for this as well. Both Drax and Stromberg are superb villains, mostly because of their plans.
Cheers, Elliot.
To me a villain doesn't have to be phyically threatening but sinister is a definite >:)
I thought of these villains, but I guess the distinction I'd draw is I don't know as they are necessarily psychotic in the way other Bond villains are. They are certainly amongst his most formidable and deadly.
Sanchez was the best.
Just my thoughts. Silva was great though.
That's exactly what I'm talking about! I think it would be perfect.
That's why I got so excited when:
Fleming-style supervillains with DN inspired lairs is ultimate Bond villainy IMO.
Kananga was quite good too, and I like what Eon tried to do with the likes of Zorin, Trevelyan, Carver and Graves. All 4 were also cast in the deadly, camp, supervillain mode. Honorable mention to Kamal Khan too I guess, and Scaramanga, who didn't have henchmen squads, but he certainly had a supervillain-worthy lair.
