Retired Badass: According to Blofeld, Bond has retired from the MI6 just to become the warden of the prison where Blofeld is staying in. |

Literary Agent Hypothesis |
| | Ask Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Blog) / int_24da7ff8 |
comment |
Literary Agent Hypothesis: invoked The classic Eon films are said to be fictionalized, but extremely close to the real events. The Daniel Craig reboot is the result of the producers being forced to make stuff up now that the real James Bond has retired and that Blofeld is in jail. As a result, it is completely wrong in terms of events and very inaccurate in terms of characters — Blofeld is particularly disgusted by his Motive Decay. |

| | Ask Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Blog) / int_319e4a2f |
comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: When a fan asked if he would ever consider recruiting Prince Hans as a member of SPECTRE, Blofeld flat-out refused, stating that he doesn't let cartoonish fools join the ranks, despite knowing how he manipulated Anna into a false romance so she could unwittingly hand him over Arendelle on a silver platter. And he already has a minion named Hans, so it would be confusing for him to know which Hans is which. |

| | Ask Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Blog) / int_4e1d9178 |
comment |
Tailor-Made Prison: Or tailor-chosen warden, as it were. Blofeld is incarcerated in a pretty normal jail, but one that is guarded by James Bond himself, who has retired from MI6 for that express purpose. |

If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him! |
| | Ask Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Blog) / int_554063c6 |
comment |
If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him!: Stated as the most likely reason why James Bond had Ernst Stavro Blofeld jailed instead of killing him. Although Blofeld suggests there might be an element of Cruel Mercy to it — indeed, controlling people behind the scenes is so fundamental to Blofeld's character that he doesn't take being brought down to just an inmate in a prison very well. |

The Comically Serious: Irma Bunt is making no concessions to the weirdness of her situation and the constant whims of her lunatic boss, and keeps being the stoic, creepy boss. Due to how silly everything else is around here, this makes her into this trope. |
