  Aliens from Outer Space
  Hill Billies from deep in the woods
  Mythological Gods i.e. Hades, Apollo etc.....

  Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope

  James Bond versus The Salvation Army (as the result of a typo at MI6 HQ). A bit like Tomorrow Never Lies in a way, only potentially a tad more serious.

  Hard core historical reenactment groups with cold steel and live ammo! I would like to see Bond fighting berserker viking reenactors )

  ..... but kilt-wearing Scotish warrior reenactors vs Bond would be ironical )

  I suppose that we could expand the remit of this thread a little in order to include those villains who seemed unlikely targets for James Bond's deadly aim even when they appeared in one of the Bond films.
  
  Can we think of any this criteria would apply to?
  
  One that stands out to me right away would be Dominic Greene in QoS.

  I remember thinking in 1981 that the bespectacled geeky guy in the mini-submarine in FYEO, operating the grips and cutting devices, made for an entertainingly different style of 'incidental' sub-villain. (Of course, there have been geeky villains since, such as Boris Grishenko.)

  Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.
