Yeah, I figured as much. Pretentious is as pretentious does.
and the franchise gets a lot of flack for that. But one of Bond's assesst are some of the best and most iconic villains ever, such as Goldfinger (the title gives it away already,eh?) or his sidekick Oddjob - these blow away any MCU villain; not to mention Blowfield & Jaws, Red Grant & Rosa Klebb etc.
Nah, they have nostalgia going for them but they really aren't any better than how the MCU does villains.
]The greatest adventure stories have great villains, that is no coincidence.
Nah, it is.
A hero is only as good as the villain
Said every lazy writer ever. Ever writer who had no faith in the hero to hold up their own story. The greatest challenge is writing a good protagonist.
Without stakes there is no suspense and drama.
They're not going to kill off the entire cast and end the world every single story/movie. Deal with it.
Mere plot devices are per se lazy writing; if you reduce characters or even the main anagonist to a plot device it is abysmal writing. Case closed.
Nope, if the protagonist is good enough then having the villain as an obstacle to be overcome while the real meat is about the protagonist and his/her story is fine. I seriously don't think anyone went to Jaws to enjoy the thought processes of the Shark.
