Blofeld is done and over. I wouldn't be opposed to a new head baddie blofeld type guy but it is time to move on and use an original character who hasn't been cheesed by Austin Powers.
Alongside that, think of how many people who would (somehow) be up in arms because the James Bond films would now be stealing from the 'Austin Powers' movies. You know it would happen.
The OHMSS Blofeld of the novels is the greatest incarnation of the character IMO. They've never done Blofeld properly, he has an intriguing back story that is easily updatable.
@RC7 I'd started reading the books but I hadn't read the Blofeld trilogy when I made this thread.
As I said in another thread, I'd like to see the YOLT Blofeld on the big screen. He'd just gone completely insane, he was Hitler in Samurai armour. I loved it and it's one of the reasons why YOLT is my favourite Fleming novel.
My comments definitely weren't aimed at the thread, I think Blofeld is up for grabs so having Mr. White turn out to be called ESB is a perfectly reasonable idea. I was merely referring to a couple of other comments above which insinuate Blofeld cannot return. He can return, just not with a slaphead and a persian.
Except you would have to devote half the film to showing how Mr White seized power of Quantum because from all that we've seen of him so far (and I'm sick of repeating this) is that he is an odd job man. Trekking out into the Ugandan jungle to act as middleman for some warlord and Le Chiffre? Executing the errant Le Chiffre? Salvaging a suitcase from a canal? Are these mundane acts something Blofeld would engage in or have one of his minions do?
And at the Quantum conference at the opera he doesnt say a word whereas Blofeld does all the talking. For him suddenly to be revealed as Blofeld and in charge of the whole shebang would be absolute bullshit.
Frankly its a rubbish idea and now that we are in an era of being able to attract A list talent are people really advocating that casting Jesper Christensen as the main villain is something they would want to see?
So your theory is that Mr. White is really Oddjob? ;)
Seriously, though, I knew I got this White-as-Blofeld theory from somewhere. I must have seen this thread before.
Personally, I feel that this theory seems to make sense at first glance, but less so the more I think about it. It would be an interesting twist, but not very plausible.
sure its a crap sendoff.. but that's part of it's brilliance... especially when it's creator decides to file a lawsuit and make a rival film against yours, using not only said character, but James Bond as well - and not just any Bond, but Connery.... i like the fact that EON simply discarded the Blofeld character the way they did.... McClory wanted to be a hardnosed sob, EON did it in return... Bond is bigger than Blofeld, and his character is not vital to Bond's continued success..
Exactly. And why mess up two rgeat characters to mix them into one? That is soap opera stuff, as someone said. I want to see White, I want to see Blofeld again (revamped obviously), but not the two as one and the same!
