Should Blofeld be played by an octopus in B25?

x

The series has some 'form' in this department, funnily enough -

'An initial draft of the screenplay was rejected because the scriptwriters had made the villain, Dr. No, a monkey'.

Sounds like you stole the idea from Purvis and Wade themselves and are now trying to claim all of the glory for yourself.

I almost picked "take me out and shoot me" but then I remembered Scorsese's new film The Irishman is also opening in 2019 so I don't want to miss out on that.

I vote yes on the octopus. Might as well give Craig's tenure something memorable for once. The merchandising for Blofeld octopus plush toys would alone put this film over the top. Also if he's going to have a Trump mask might as well get Alec Baldwin to voice the new Blofeld octopus and have Bond hashtag all his messages back to MI6 with the word #Resist.

Plop a busty schoolgirl on each tentacle and this will make an absolute killing on the Japanese market.

I never liked the foster brother idea it is far too untidy...I think they should make it that they are twins formerly Siamese and one can't get over the fact that James is the one that ended up with the knob....... (even though James now obviously wishes he had simply been born a woman) - thats the Flming Bond they are missing now!

Guess we can't have it like in From Russia With Love where the credits roll with:

"Ernst Stavro Blofeld--- "?"

Also:

"Bond's dignity--- ?"

No, it'd be a retcon. Let's not forget Bond and Blofeld are foster brothers.

Barbara BroCColi is the custodian of Bond lore. We should not go against her great wisdom.

It would explain all that scuba-diving...

I'm thinking a CGI octopus should play Blofeld in Bond 25. This would provide continuity with SPECTRE after Waltz's reported departure from the series.

Ollie-feld would be a visual delight with a Trump face mask and eight swastika tentacle bands. Two would grip the latest Sony cellphone models. Two would be crushing cans of Heineken. One would wield an inky commando dagger. That would leave three for titty manipulation if he ran into Léa Seydoux scuba diving (gotta get that all-important Asian market).

Is this the way forward for Bond? I discussed this with Purvis and Wade over the weekend and they advised me to seek representation. I think they liked it.

I may be wrong, but Waltz did not outright state he won't be in Bond 25. Not to mention he kept saying he would not play Blofeld in SPECTRE, just like Harris said she would not play Moneypenny in Skyfall and Smith said he would not sing SPECTRE's title theme.

And Craig he won't play Bond...

Well if Dr. No was nearly a monkey, why not have Blofeld be an octopus. The title Octopussy has already been used, mind.

Have you ever seen the ending of Pirates of the Caribbean 2?

The OctoVagina Monologues.

It's a new world with new enemies and new threats... #Metoo

I all but stood up and cheered in the cinema when I saw this trailer for the first time. That was back when long gaps between each film were a comparative rarity.

Still remember seeing the press conference on ITV, Brosnan's "Her name's Bond, Samantha Bond..."

I voted yes. As long as it's a female octopus, though. Because, you know, equality.






Don't disagree or you're a rapist-sexist.

So Blofeld is Bond's sister now?

*foster-sister.

"Brother" and "sister" imply binary gender identities and must be eliminated with the progressive adoption of gender-unlimited Newspeak.

I think you all miss the point.

Bond 25 will not be about Bloberhauser but M's resurrection.

I bet Dench M has a long lost twin sister. I mean they got to bring back Dench, don't they? Craig without her is like Kirk without Spock.

the way this series has gone, her coming back wouldn't surprise me. Bursting out of the coffin like Captain Black in Captain Scarlet & The Mysterons.
