The Bond women are important, but James Bond wouldn't be James Bond without the villians.

[Qwerty]

Oh certainly, this thread is actually picking each of them out though too.

So what you are saying Qwerty is that we have to say whether we like the villian or the girl better in each movie?

[ComplimentsOfSharky]

What the hell, I'll play along...

Dr. No: Honey Ryder - Go look at the newest cover of the book, you'll know why.
From Russia With Love: Tatiana Romanova -
Goldfinger: Auric Goldfinger - The most well known Bond villian... sorry Pussy
Thunderball: Domino Derval - Drool
You Only Live Twice: Ernst Stavro Blofeld

Dr. No- Honey Ryder
FRWL- Tatiana Romanova(No compitition there)
GF- Goldfinger
TB- Domino (The hottest of the Connery Girls)
YOLT- Blofeld (The first main villian that wasn't a physical threat to Bond)
OHMSS- Tracy (No contest)
DAF- Tiffany (because I don't like Gray's Blofeld)
LALD- Solitaire (Besides Anya- The second hottest Moore girl)
TMWTGG- Scaramanga ( The best villian of the Moore era)
TSWLM- Anya (enough said)
MR- Holly Goodhead (Beautiful and Brilliant)
FYEO- Melina (Never got into Kristatos all that much)
OP- Octopussy (Duh)
AVATK- Zorin ( Stacey quit your friggin whining already)
TLD- Kara (Weakest villains of the series)
LTK- Sanchez (Delivered some good lines.. "He disagreed with something that ate him")
GE- Natalya (Even though Trevelyan is my favorite villian gotta go with the girl)
TND- Carver ( I also sometimes quote him. Good antagonist)
TWINE- Gotta go with Christmas Jones ( she is too damn fine)
DAD- (You had to compare Gustav with Jinx.. it couldn't have been Miranda and Jinx)

[SPECTRE ASSASSIN]

Ok, I get it. I misunderstood

Dr. No- A tie
From Russia with Love-Tanya Romanova
Goldfinger-Goldfinger
Thunderball-Domino, my true love.
You Only Live Twice-Blofeld. But both villians are girls are weaker compared to the former films.
OHMSS-Tracy
DAF-None!
Live and Let Die-Solitare
TMWTGG-Easily, Scaramanga. The Bond girls are at their worst here.
SWLM-Anya
Moonraker-Drax
FYEO-Melina Havelock
Octopussy-Kamal Khan, surprisingly.
AVTAK-Max Zorin
TLD-Easily, Kara. The villians' low point in the series
LTK-Franz Sanchez. One of my favorites.
GOldeneye-Alec Treveylan (006)
TND-Carver, I suppose.
TWINE-Elektra King, Renard
DAD-None. Both suck

So, here's my tally: Minus a tie, and two undecisions, the villians are the winner for me, beating the Bond girls, 10-7. There you have it for me.

Good thread, Qwerty!
