In the way that they seemed to be just too off beat for their plan, situation, overall character?

I thought Silvia kinda was. Still a great villain though.

I never found Elliot Carver entirely convincing.

However, I still enjoyed the film.

General Orlov (OCTOPUSSY) would have been better if actor Steven Berkoff had toned it down just a little bit.

Speaking of "over-acted" Bond villains, there's always Donald Trump.

Well, you could say that in comparison Silva, Carver and Orlov are not exaggerated at all.

You could say that - and I couldn't argue with you about it.

In fact, next to Trump, even Stromberg and Drax both positively reek of humanitarianism...
