If the next Bond film does not feature a villain similar to Space Karen I will be disappointed!

Moonraker is close, and I can see some similarities with the villain in Tomorrow Never Dies

Moonraker was my first thought too

That was a Hearst insert with the infinity car commercials actor.

Ner Say Never Again villain had a very similar personality.

That’s one of the handful I haven’t seen before, I need to get around to it.

Love this. I’ve been calling him a James Bond villain for many years now and peers are finally beginning to see it as well.

Don't... don't MOST Bond movies have a villain like this?

Back before the whole "you're a pedophile for not wanting my shitty submarine" debacle I was like "so isb he Tony Stark or a Bond villain..."

And then that happened and I went "ohhhhh. Well dammit"

Horizon zero dawn on the ps5 has something very similar!

I'm pretty sure Miles Bron from "Glass Onion" was inspired by Musk. A dumb man with too much money who thinks he's the smartest person in the room at any given time.

Iron Man 2

u/mrbrambles California Nov 27 '24

I mean, most bond films have a villain like him

u/iPirateGwar Nov 27 '24

Pretty much a combo of A View To A Kill and Moonraker. Unfortunately, we don’t have anyone to be our Bond yet.

The one about the news mogul felt real stupid but in retrospect...
