    No joke, watched James Bond Diamonds are forever this weekend and it was pretty much the same thing. Villain invents a weapon to stop all governments from using nuclear bombs, has a great speech about bringing peace…and then suddenly decides to auction off the technology to the highest bidder? Huh?

      Instead, he should extort nuclear-capable governments, threatening to deactivate their nukes unless they pay up.

      Kingsman the villain was a super genius black guy climate change activist who spent his life battling world leaders and elites to stop pollution, and then he decides he’s going to save the world leaders and elites and kill everyone else to stop climate change… the second movie’s villain was a woman who did all of that because she wanted to pay taxes to sell weed… I was surprised the next villain about to destroy the world wasn’t a transsexual who wanted gender-neutral bathrooms…

        Yes it was blofeld. Been a long time since I watched the older James Bonds though so I don’t remember what else he did.
