Who is your favorite MCU villain?
I think for me it's Mysterio.
Who is your favorite MCU villain?
Luke Ward
Chase Adams
I'm just mad that most of these actors didn't get a proper "villain arc" in their movies.
Mads for example.
For me it's Vulture though, followed by Zemo, Hela and Mysterio..
Elijah Diaz
Ranking them all...
> Kingpin (including netflix appearances)
> Thanos
> Wenwu
> Ego
> Loki
> Zemo (only in civil war)
> Killmonger (only in terms of performance, ignoring the politics/motives)
gap
> Ultron
> Stane
> Aldrich Killian (extremely underrated)
> Belonski (human form)
> YellowJacket (god tier suit, underused the actor)
> Vulture (I wasn't wowed by him like others were)
> Hela (the perfect suit & the actress deserved far better than what we got)
> Red Skull
> Kaecilius
> Ghost
> Whiplash
> Ronan
Large Gap
> Malekith
Owen Price
Fuck, I neglected Netflix's MCU shows.
I change my list to
>Kingpin
>Vulture
>Zemo
>Killmonger
>Hela
>Mysterio
Ethan Thompson
>Man gains mind control powers
>Proceeds to do exactly what anyone who gains the power to control others would do
I can't even be mad at the guy. Where he fucked up was when he became obsessed with "the one that got away" instead of just moving on. Jessica's great and all but she isn't worth that level of drama.
Aiden Adams
The Winter Soldier was a pretty cool villain.
Solid fights, plenty of menace.
Ian Fisher
Vulture was Keaton's best cape role (including Birdman).
A bit of Bruce, a touch of Beetlejuice, he was great.
Grayson Williams
What makes Killgrave work for me, personally, is that he had these powers since he was a kid. Of COURSE he would be an entitled manchild, he never had a chance to be anything else. He has never had to consider the wants and whims of others because its all about him, all the time. There was never any incentive for him to develop empathy or think about consequences, he is a superpowered adult with the emotional maturity of a child because he never had to grow up.
Whereas a person who was normal until they were in their 20s and then got given Killgrave's powerset would likely react very differently unless they were already a supreme asshole, since they have had decades of time working with other people as equals as opposed to tools. They'll still go on a power trip, but it would be a very different kind of power trip.
Brandon Williams
More Bruce Almighty, less super rapey?
Aiden Watson
>Mysterio
>Villain
Mysterio was a hero murdered in cold blood by that web swinging menace!
Blake Harris
What makes Killgrave work is that he's both genuinely scary and fun to watch because of his abilities, coupled with David Tennant's performance and he's the second best villain out of the Netflix shows, possibly even the MCU as a whole
Liam Lewis
Pretty much. It would be acts of petty revenge, but they would still be afraid of consequences and typically not want to be TOO life ruining in what they do because until very recently this was still they could never imagine getting away with. This might change over time, depending on the person, but they will go from zero to 'I am god, now bow to me!' overnight.
A functioning adult given mind control powers likely starts with petty revenge and exploitation, but can equally up up as either an entitled superbaby or a "finally, time to make the rest of the world act the way I KNOW will be better for everyone!" well-meaning tyrant.
Adam Myers
Agreed. Tennant was a slam dunk for the role. The rest of the show had serious flaws (poor and repetitive pacing, Jessica basically has no characterization beyond 'is a detective stereotype', the Nuke storyline adds nothing, etc) but any time Tennant was onscreen you knew you were in for a good time.
Henry Foster
Does Netflix still count? Because I liked Typhoid Mary.
Jason Sanchez
Most of the villains in the Netflix shows were pretty good, Notwithstanding Defenders and Iron Fist
>Kingpin
>Killgrave
>Cottonmouth
>Bushmaster
>Bullseye
Luis Cook
>tfw Typhoid Mary was supposed to be one of the main villains of Daredevil season 4
>Instead we'll probaby just get season three again but worse with Born Again
Oliver Ward
Say what you will about MCU Spiderman but its villains are consistently great
Pretty much the same as my favorites except for me I'd include Wenwu and Killmonger.
Sebastian Myers
With the way their shows have been going, I'm not excited about anything anymore. They could announce a Blade, Punisher, Wolverine, Ghost Rider, Venom and Moon Knight team-up show and my only thought would be "how are they going to fuck this up?"
Sebastian Wright
What's underrated about killian? He was a non-character
Leo Baker
>Proceeds to do exactly what anyone who gains the power to control others would do
I hope the FBI agent assigned to you sees this, man.
Jacob Myers
>I'm just mad that most of these actors didn't get a proper "villain arc" in their movies.
Klaue's death in Black Panther was the wrong move. You could have kept him coming back and Serkis was a fuckin' treat.
Mason Jenkins
He popped up in What If again
Hudson Smith
I would say MCU Spider-Man is great, (a bit too attached to Tony but that's the entire MCU), the supporting cast is different but fun, and the villains are spectacular.
Caleb Clark
He could always be brought back as superhuman Klaw by some comic book means or another. He was really underpowered as a human with a gun-arm.
Joseph Flores
I've actually been liking the D+ shows way more than the movies in Phase 4 (literally the only ones I've liked so far are No Way Home and Multiverse of Madness). They at least feel varied and have more character work than the films.
