Seems like the series Villains are one step away from being heroes and vice versa.

The movie Villains are more absolute.

Agree? Disagree?

The movie villains are pretty lame so far. Loki is the only halfway decent one. Kingpin is cool but doesn't seem too villainous to me. Overall, Marvel has really dropped the ball on their on screen villains.

The Purple Man is a super-rapist and Kingpin crushes skulls in SUV doors...

I think the Netflix villains would scare the shite out of the movie villains.

Kilgrave is awesome, easily Marvels best villain IMO. Kingpin was just ok and Loki is highly overrated. JMHO.

Netflix have been done an amazing job with their villains I agree. Yea they should've done more with Ultron. Disney aside, I loved the Alfred Molina as Doc Ock...he was one of my favorites.

The majority of the best developed villains belong in the rogue galleries of Spiderman, X-Men, or Fantastic Four. Goblin, Magneto, and Doom easily crack Top 5 Marvel villain lists.

I will say Marvel has had some of the weakest villains... I mean in Superman you at least had a guy who was going to destroy the world and killed people to prove a point.

There are pretty big differences between the netflix shows and the movies.

The movies are much larger ins scope. When the stakes are the survival of the world there is a lot less room for gray area.

I really enjoy all the shows (haven't gotten to see Luke Cage)

They are more intimate. Small neighborhoods and personal vendettas.

I am a huge fan of both the Netflix series and the Movies

I think you guys are missing my point. The Series villains are more "real" to me. They have a back story. They have real motivations. They have a good side as well as an evil. Things are more gray in the series. I like that.

Even in the MCU which is immense and uses multiple movies to develop characters, they all feel rather hollow in comparison to the heroes. Now, this could be because the best villains are not available, but dammit, make them interesting!
