10 Things That Would Have Happened After 2015's Biggest Movies

10. Spectre €“ Blofeld Walks Free

For all Sam Mendes did his absolute darnedest to try and wrap up Bond's story in as neat a package as possible, he actually left more dangling threads than the jeans of ageing metal roadie. At the climax, all seemed lost as Blofeld escaped over the river Thames by helicopter, pursued by Bond in a speedboat. Two handgun shots later (no, really) and Blofeld crawled from the burning wreckage to be arrested by London's finest. Bond turned his back, linked arms with the female lead who had definitely just left the film two scenes earlier, and rode off into the sunset knowing justice had been done. Except justice hadn't been done, and no sooner would the credits have finished rolling would Blofeld have been back on the streets. This is the global head of a shadowy new world order, and the culmination of the film leaves not a shred of evidence to convict him with. He's running a group responsible for world-wide terrorist atrocities, none of which connect back to him. He's in league with a government double-agent attempting to bring down MI6, who just so happens to have been thrown to his death by M, taking his confession with him. He's the man behind Nine Eyes, a system designed to gather unlimited intelligence from across the globe, which was, y'know, completely blown up in the middle of a desert. At that exact moment, M doesn't even have the legal power to arrest him. At best, Blofeld might get a court summons 3-6 weeks later relating to the flaming caracas of a helicopter he had temporarily left on double yellows. But that's about it.
