Out of every single Bond Novel, what would be your favorite Demise for the Main Villain?
Drax's Death by his own Creation is so wonderfully described, that no one else but Fleming could of come up with a Scene like that -{

Yes, Drax is hoist by his own petard - I like that.
I also like Dr. No's demise - "buried under a load of bird sh1t" as O.F. Snelling recalls a friend saying in his book Double O Seven James Bond: A Report (1964). I always thought that that was a good way of putting it - a very imaginative death on Fleming's part although it would have perhaps looked a tad silly in the 1962 film version!
Indeed - another chillingly great one - a suitably big death for a big man.
Yes, very much a case of "Let the punishment fit the crime" and of not taking your wealth with you. Very moral, Fleming. Just like Roald Dahl in his adult short stories, in fact. Moral tales.
Indeed it is - Gardner certainly did not hold back on the details of the villain's deaths.
Although... what about the two would-be bombers in Casino Royale? That scene is so vividly written that one can almost hear, smell and feel the blast, and the blood & guts splattering all and sundry.

Indeed, and Bond takes great pleasure in choking Blofeld to death. But the comic strip version of YOLT arguably improved on this by having Bond fling Blofeld onto the Castle of Death's geyser, which Blofeld had made Bond sit on earlier. This time the geyser erupts and before Blofeld can move he's incinerated.
Yes, though that is from the films.
many apologise ,,sorry the article did say "NOVEL" not film ,
It's fine, my friend.
