That's... kind of the whole point. If you're a good bad guy, then everyone has fun!"''

77	->''"Blofeld has really decided to treat himself this time. He literally has [[ConspicuousConsumption an orbital weapon made of bling]]. Because if you’re going to hold the world to ransom, you might as well do it fabulously. He even has a ready prepared “battle sub”, which looks like something from ''Flash Gordon''. You can tell this version of Blofeld is a pulp science-fiction fan. He also has a [[LaughablyEvil wonderful wit]] -- this iteration of the character would certainly make an excellent dinner guest. ''“This farcical show of force was only to be expected: the great powers flexing their muscles like so many impotent beach boys,”'' he remarks at one point, as if he’s been waiting to use that one for a while now. When his giant laser ends up orbiting Kansas, he proves that you don’t get to lead an international terrorist organisation by taking yourself too seriously, “Well, if we destroy Kansas the world may not hear about it for years.”"''

Something to do with her father getting killed, blah blah blah. I'm not really listening; instead I'm watching Raul change out of his paramilitary leatherwear and in his paramilitary eveningwear: a velvet officer's cap and the coolest smoking jacket I've ever seen. Look at Raul Julia, [[PimpDuds this pimp daddy!]] He's lookin' good! He might be a terrible general, his men unqualified goons, and his tactics highly ineffective but man, does he ever know how to coordinate a wardrobe. He's even got a hat tree with about eight different-colored caps so he can rotate his uniforms without clashing with only one hat. I bet he brings all the chicks up to his pad to see this. Bet you anything he's got [[SigilSpam a skull-shaped jacuzzi]]."''

Let's face it: compared to the illustriously-dressed and silken-haired vampire [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight Alucard]], Kain looks like a doofus. However, Kain has more personality in his forehead -- [[{{Gonk}} his big, white, egg-shaped forehead]] -- than Alucard carries in his whole ninety-pound bishonen body."''
