Bond Villain A vs. Bond Villain B

In short, every two days there will be a new round pitting two villains against one another. We, the members of bondandbeyond, will decide which villain wins after putting it to the vote.

Round 1:
Dr. Julius No vs. Auric Goldfinger

Wins in what respect? Do you mean, which one is your personal favorite?

As in after everyone has voted within the time frame I give, we'll tally up the votes and see which villain is more preferred by the community here. So yes, that implies that it needs to be personal favorite.

Round 1:
Dr. Julius No vs. Auric Goldfinger

Auric Goldfinger

Put me down for a No vote.

No may have been chilling and pervasive even in his absence, but ol' Auric had some twisted charisma, like the ringmaster of a circus.

Put me down for Goldfinger in this round.

Dr. No

One of the brilliant, menacing Bond villains. We don't get 'em like that anymore.

Goldfinger was just a greedy, fat bastard with a trick pool table. Plenty of those guys live in my hometown.

Dr. No should win for the casting job alone. Wiseman is the very incarnation of Fleming's Julius No.

Dr No

I'll say Julius, but it's a tough one.

No.

My vote goes to Dr. Julius No, because he just simply radiates with more evil and cunning menace than Goldfinger could ever hope to have. Plus, Dr. No has those epic metal hands that can crush anything- like Goldfinger's neck! Hahaha.

I'm gonna go against the flow and vote for the tubby Kraut.

If Julius had gotten 15 more minutes of screen time, I think he'd be the consensus choice for greatest Bond villain ever.

Dr. No wins the round!

Round Two: Emilio Largo vs. Alec Trevelyan

E. Largo - gotta go for a guy with a piratical eyepatch.

Did you ever see Grand Slam 70? Poor Adolpho couldn't get away from that image.

Emilio Largo vs. Alec Trevelyan

My vote, of course, goes to Alec Trevelyan for sure! I like Largo as well, in fact, both of them are in my top ten of Bond villains, but Trevelyan is my number one, so easy pick there, haha.

It's funny. Trevelyan is a well-written character and Sean Bean is excellent, but the character is somehow just too commonplace to really fire the imagination. Therefore, I have to go with Largo, who is an archetypal Bond villain.

Alec Trevelyan.

They should never have dubbed my owner's voice with Robert Rietty.

Largo - he has a shark.

Much as i like Sean Beans Trevellyn, Largo just oozes threat and style so it's Number 2 whos number 1 here.

Celi, like Wiseman, was a perfect bit of casting. Read Fleming's description of Largo and you'll see what I mean.
