It's that "elsewhere" in question that sets Drax apart. destroy all human life - this time with nerve gas - and create a new "master race" while riding out the mass extinction elsewhere). But when it comes to Bond villains with their eyes on the Aquarian big-picture prize, you have to give it up to Hugo Drax of "Moonraker."ĭrax's plan is essentially the same as Stormberg's (i.e. The fictional Swedish entrepreneur of "The Spy Who Loved Me," Karl Stormberg (Michael Lonsdale) absolutely qualifies, what with his plan to wipe out humanity via nuclear self-destruction while chilling under the sea. While most Bond villains are happy to extort the leading global powers for money with giant lasers or the threat of nuclear war, some baddies are intent on bigger, more intellectual pursuits than simple financial gain.
You can always count on a Taurus, and you can always count on Scaramanga, who never met a target he couldn't hit - until, that is, he ran afoul of Bond. Tauruses are diligent workers that value consistency they dislike chaos and prefer to find a niche they enjoy (say, killing for profit with a solid gold gun) and then doing it to the extreme. As Bond notes over dinner, Scaramanga lives quite well, thanks to his million-dollar contracts.Ī quintessential Taurus, Scaramanga has an almost regal quality about him he always keeps his cool and is a thoroughly graceful host given the circumstances. For Scaramanga, that means a remote island in Red China waters, outfitted with every automated convenience, an underground funhouse, and all the blue linen suits a man of taste could desire. Those born between April 20 and May 20 love (well, need) their personal space. But we're pretty sure that all of Scaramanga's antics, including his scheme to sell Hai Fat's Solex Agitator to the highest bidder, are in the service of his love of oysters, good champagne, and all the comforts of island living. The titular big bad of 1974's "The Man With the Golden Gun" is an incredibly dangerous man. Wouldn't it be fun to say you're a Blofeld rising with a Dr. Should the zodiac be completely re-jiggered to include the likes of megalomaniacal international villains? Maybe. So in that spirit of celebration, we've put together a breakdown that pairs every astrological sign with their Bond villain that vibes hardest. But in the end, there is a veritable arsenal of Bond baddies, each one more prone to monologuing than the last.
Or perhaps you prefer the strong, silent type. Maybe you resonate with teeth-gnashing eccentricity.
Just as everyone has their favorite Bond film, they all have that one Bond villain that really speaks to them. You can always count on a Bond antagonist to bring their own special flavor of spice and eccentricity they're charismatic, make big moves, and are often more compelling and multi-dimensional than their martini-chugging adversary. But each Bond big bad brings their own special je ne sais quoi to the table. Sure, almost all of them have some iteration of the same plan (steal/build a weapon, often using lasers and satellites, and hold the world hostage). And while the cinematic exploits of 007 have had their ups and downs over the years - if not in quality than in tone - one thing has always remained consistent: the villains rule. Whether you're amenable to the goofy antics of the Roger Moore era, the classic charm of Sean Connery's tenure, or the kinetic brooding gait of Daniel Craig's output, everyone can find something to love in the franchise. With 27 films stretching across nearly six decades, regardless of your tastes there is, invariably, a Bond film for everyone.
