Questioin about Bond villains

DanielCraig

Hello

I was wondering why do all the early villains (or do they all?) when they discover Bond - take them to dinners, reveal plans to him, and treat him as guest?

Why? Just naive, ?? srry for stupid question but I was wondring if there is any logical reason -{

I think they are egotistical - they want Bond to know their plans, to show their class, their good taste. It's a sort of gentlemanly show. These days if Bond was really on to them, they'd just shoot him I the head (like the scene in Austin Powers where Dr Evil's son wants to do just that) and get him out of the way. However, it is also to show the reader/viewer that Bond's cover is blown, and that he is in a tight situation. The bad guy's onto him, what is he going to do?

Thanks for the reply.!

Yeah might be because they are egotistical.

But still dumb stuff. A bit naive if u ask me

in a bunch of early films while they can just shoot him in the head and get rid of him, they show off - and feed their ego? - and in the end - pay for that.

Do you people think the newer movies have a definitely more realistic approach?

They are Entertainment, to simply shoot the hero would lead to a very short film.
You have to have scenes where the villain lays out his plan so the audience can understand what's going on.
and of course give the writers plenty of chances to get him out of a few sticky moments
with some great action/ stunt sequences.
After all it's not only the Bond films where the villain could simply shoot the hero in the
first act. ) e.g.
Why lock Indy in a crypt full of snakes and leave ?
He is an expert on this sort of thing so is likely to find an escape.

You know...
...if you are planning world domination or global mayhem, you tend to be a very, very lonely person.
All governmential leaders are fearing you, all your henchmen are hating you...
Even your cat hates you!

You actually have no colleagues to share your thoughts...
...that is why, whenever we catch a super-spy who is mentally able to understand our motives - We invite him to a nice dinner on a remote island and tell him the story of our life. We have the urge to discuss, on a friendly basis, our future plans and projects with him and are carefully listening to his advice and verdict.

That's all! :007)

Very well said jimmybondi, The super villain is the most misunderstood member of society.
Perhaps a charity event should be set up for them, Get Gary Barlow to write a song, something

yeah, and he probably talks with him to kill the loneliness, and thinking that after he finishes talking- all the information he told him- is gonna die with him when he kills him (Bond)
