12 Recent Movie Sequels That Outrageously Ruined Great Characters
6. No Time To Die - Blofeld
While No Time to Die was an overall impressive entry into the James Bond canon, it really, really screwed up in the villain department, especially when it came to the film's treatment of Blofeld (Christoph Waltz), Bond's most iconic foe.
40 years before No Time to Die, the James Bond series flippantly and disrespectfully killed off Blofeld in the opening sequence of 1981's For Your Eyes Only.
No Time to Die... did exactly the same thing. Some people never learn.
As much as Spectre (2015) mishandled aspects of Blofeld, Christoph Waltz was actually really good in the part and he continued to be a sinister, chilling presence in his one proper scene in No Time to Die. He really deserved to be the main villain of No Time to Die and him being responsible for killing Bond would've been so much better but instead, he was nothing more a glorified cameo.
And the fact that, instead of having Blofeld as the big bad No Time to Die instead featured one of the worst Bond villains ever as the lead antagonist makes it that much worse.
