Marvel Series Villains vs Movie Villains

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.

Especially with Ultron. It was just false advertising. Ultron should be fricking horrifying, but instead he's just a goofball that literally the world didn't find out about until the end. I mean this line was in the trailer:

"I was designed to save the world. People will look up to the sky and see... hope... I'll take that from them first."

But no one but save a dozen people knew about him until he lifts the city out of the sky. Ultron is the Avengers greatest villain, and they just ruined him. He should have wiped out at least one major city. I hope they bring him back for Infinity Wars, maybe making the cliffhanger for Part 1 Ultron reawakening, and then doing him properly. Would be awesome for a 3 way war between the Avengers, Thanos, and Ultron.

I think the show's villains have been pretty excellent.

Kilgrave is psychotic and was portrayed brilliantly. And he was fully fleshed out, which is one of the great things about the length of the shows versus the movies. You actually saw why he had such issues.

Punisher is an anti-hero bordering on villainy and is one of the morally ambiguous characters that is made for in depth exploration.

Fisk we saw change from Fisk to Kingpin over the course of a season and become a full blown criminal mastermind.

Cottonmouth I've only seen one episode of in Luke Cage, but so far he's perhaps the most one dimensional. He is nakedly grasping for power through violence. Still, he's fairly intriguing.


Ultron was poo and could have been so great if done well. The set up of his character in the film was brilliant, being the conception of Stark and Banner, and a showcase of how ego and our technological progress can lead to very real moral questions.

Thanos is simply too vague to really be much of an issue yet or for me to assign much judgment to him.

The Thor villains besides Loki have sucked.

Red Skull is intriguing of only because he founded Hydra which has continued to permeate the MCU. Otherwise he's fairly bland.

Winter Soldier is a great villain turned hero.

The Iron Man villains are forgettable. The first one served his purpose well, though,and it made sense. The other two were just terrible.

Basically the MCU villains are butt.

Winter Soldier is the worst villain relative to the screen time he's gotten.

Are you saying kilgrave and kingpin are one step away from being heroes?


Wut?

Yes. Every great villain is the hero of their own story. D'Onofrio's portrayal of Kingpin certainly demonstrates that.

Even Cottonmouth was trying to keep Harlem...Harlem.

This. All of it.

Imagine if they had the rights to Dr. Doom.

The Russo Brothers have been knocking it out the park. Im hoping they do well with Thanos murdering people to get the infinity gauntlet

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
