16. There was nothing "sissy" about da Silva. (spoiler for one scene)

He's cultivated.
He regards Bond's style of gunning and running as outdated/antiquated, preferring precise and hard strikes of violence.
And the scene where he touches Bond's chest in a sexually suggestive way? That was deliberate to make Bond uncomfortable.

That's enough to declare him a "sissy villain"?

1. He kills and endangers the lives of others as he sees fit, to further his plan.
2. Although he leaves the violence to his lackeys, he's still able to hold his own.

What does a villain have to do, not to be qualified as a sissy?
Sport muscles like Bane?
Toy around with blades and guns?
Lack a plan?
Dress poorly and look mediocre to ugly?
Ooze testosterone from his arm-pits?

It made me flinch at first, but Bond's response made Bardem immediately drop the act. byronius Nov 2012 #13

I read an article a couple days ago that asked about if we would ever see a "Gay James Bond?" William769 Nov 2012 #6

Did he/she say why? n/t Smarmie Doofus Nov 2012 #8

Here is the article. You decide. William769 Nov 2012 #9

The movie was great. Javier Bardem did a fantastic acting job. The scene did not strike me as Lint Head Nov 2012 #14

Thanks. I won't be seeing it then. closeupready Nov 2012 #15
