* FanonDiscontinuity: The films where Creator/DanielCraig played Bond never happened. They were made up by the producers after the real Bond retired, causing them to run out of stories to tell.

* EvilCripple: Blofeld lost the use of his legs after the explosion of his oil rig base in ''Film/DamondsareForever''. He compensates by using a high-tech wheelchair, complete with a grappling hook.

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



* TailorMadePrison: Or tailor-chosen warden, as it were. Blofeld is incarcerated in a pretty normal jail, but one that is guarded by ''[[BadassNormal James Bond]] himself'', who has retired from MI6 for that express purpose.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[https://askblofeld.tumblr.com/post/164134173169/would-you-ever-consider-asking-hans-from-frozen-to When a fan asked]] if he would ever consider recruiting [[Disney/{{Frozen}} 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 [[UnwittingPawn she could unwittingly hand him over Arendelle on a silver platter]]. And he already has a minion named [[Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice Hans]], so it would be confusing for him to know which Hans is which.

* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: [[https://askblofeld.tumblr.com/post/159269399064/why-on-earth-didnt-james-bond-kill-you-instead-of 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 CruelMercy 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.

* LiteraryAgentHypothesis: The classic Eon films are said to be this, and is 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 term of events and very inaccurate in terms of characters — Blofeld is particularly disgusted by his MotiveDecay.
