Former Bond as Villain
Hi there, long time bond fan new comer here.
I had an interesting conversation with my uncle tonight who was the one who got me hooked on Bond, My first film was Goldeneye when it came out, as I was born in 1988.
The conversation was just as title describes, for kicks, Which former bond would make a great Bond Villain?
Of course this will probably never happen so not to tarnish the actors Bond appearance or not to cause any confusion but It did have me thinking a good bit.
I ruled out Roger Moore just due to all the comic relief he had as a Bond. And of course George. But I was very torn between the rest. Sean could make a great farewell in films by posing as one of the best Bond Villains of all time with the right story line and plot. Dalton, as many did not like his bond could be a hard ass villain and can see fans waiting for his apparent death at the end of a movie. Then Pierce... the bond who started it all for me. As being 25 when I think Bond I think of Pierce, (Sorry Connery Fans). I could see him more of a Sean Bean 006 type villain with wit and charm.
Just an interesting thought that came up and was curious what other Bond fans thought or if any ever thought of this before.

Well said "Old Man"
I agree also, and I enjoy the movies but never really got into the forum world of Bond till now, i figured it would be brought up sometime over the years, but as the conversation was recently struck up for myself was curious.
Timothy Dalton every time for me.
Agreed. He'd make a great David Dragonpol for instance, but perhaps I'm biased.
Well, no one could have figured that out from your name :P
On the subject of a former Bond as a villain, I'm going to say: it depends. Dalton would make the best villain, though maybe Moore could star as a humanitarian gone extreme. The one thing I don't want it to be: a former MI6 agent gone rogue, because then folks are gonna go around saying "the codename theory's true", and then I'm gonna want to hit somebody hard.
Laid back its hard to see since we all seen them as Bond of course, old age would make this one easy as the older Bonds would for sure be in this category and the youngers would be more in the take charge and hit a guy type.
