Deathmatch 2022: Victims - Group A

Special Interest Games
1

Voting ends September 24

Possibly an area where not every film conforms to the idea that there is a victim or sacrifical lamb, but most do and even amongst the ones that are a bit thin in that regard, there’s a “victim of circumstance”, even if it’s of their own making.

Hence putting the film names after Victim name here, just in case anyone’s unsure why Mr White’s in the list. I think by Spectre it has all “gone a bit wrong” and there’s a last minute change of heart before the last minute change of brain. For those paying attention to this rubbish (why?) once I remembered Tibbett, he’s obviously the primary Victim in A View to a Kill. Chuck Lee. sorry old son…

Later rounds, will probably drop the film suffixes as everyone will know what’s going on and it’ll all be strawberries…

Anyway…Victims

My rankings of the victims were thus:

  1. Solange Dimitrios – she really was an innocent bystander that got sucked up into the chaos
  2. “Darko” Kerim Bey
  3. Godfrey Tibbett
  4. Quarrel
  5. Mr. White

After number one, who I think is the clearest case of a victim as the others all were knowingly involved in the spy game, I went by how I liked the characters. And Mr. White gets the fifth spot as he is predominantly a bad guy, even though he is Bond’s main ally in SPECTRE.

That’s one thing about the Daniel Craig films. He didn’t get a lot of allies outside of his MI6 inner sanctum.

@Double-OhAgent:

Wanted to say that your vote explanations were superb, and seem the best approach–certainly far better than my tack.

Thank you, kind sir.
