9 Things Spectre Needs To Satisfy Diehard Bond Fans
5. A Spectre Plotting Scene
If theres one thing that Spectre loves to do, its hatching an overly-elaborate evil plot and discussing it at meetings. Spectres powwows often served to let its minions, and by extension the audience, know what kind of insane scheme Bond would have to foil. In Thunderball Spectre uses stolen nuclear missiles to hold the world ransom for 100 million dollars-worth of diamonds; in You Only Live Twice, Spectre chieftain Ernst Blofeld hijacks an American spacecraft in a bid to start a nuclear war between the USSR and the US. This should give Bond neophytes an idea of how cartoonish Spectres plans can get and how entertaining it is to listen to the organization plot its delirious coupes. For Bond diehards to be appeased Mendes & co must deliver a Spectre plotting scene, one that can wow us with the organizations ability to concoct an evil plan fiendish in its intricacy while making us marvel at Spectre's ingenuity. It will be a tall order for Mendes to produce a Spectre plot that doesnt undo the hard work Craigs previous Bond films did to ground the series as much as possible, but still create a scheme wild enough to pay homage to classic Bond.
