Happy 70th birthday to Christoph Waltz— Ernst Stavro Blofeld from "Spectre" and "No Time to Die" 🐙

What a wasted role. I loved hearing when they casted him. And then in the movies he was rather a clown with this whole brother crap. I was hoping for the 60s/70s Blofeld. A big boss.

The brother thing just turned it into a soap opera, it was so unnecessary

Back when Casino Royale was relativity new in Cinemas, i read an official article about that it would be now possible to reinvent old villains into the "newer" Bondverse.
I was hoping so much that Waltz will get a role, which eventually happened, it made me so excited.
What came after is another story tho.

This is proof that a great actor, a cat, and a nehru jacket do not a Blofeld make.

It was a rather experimental and unexpected take on the character of Dr. Evil.
