  • When Loki became popular as a villain, they didn't look at why to replicate success, they just shifted him to "good" side so they could capitalize on this success. That's all you need to know about MCU's take on villains

    • @@chewyuanqiang yeah they 100% could’ve and should’ve done it better. i still like Tom Hiddlestons performance in Loki (the show). His character development through the movies is rushed but idk i like his change of character in the show after he watches his whole life play out and witnesses his own death after trying to save Thor by stabbing Thanos. To me that makes sense, if i was a little sh*t then i saw my own entire future, i’d have a pretty large change of heart too. you’re right on the rushed character development for the movies tho and i know i’m in the minority for liking the “characever development” in his own show

  • The hulk is the definition of wasted potential never seen such a strong, empathetic, morally grey hero done so dirty over and over again. They actually teased how dark he could go in the first avengers and that gave me hope after the solo movie but who would’ve thought we’d end up here. Norton actually understood the character and was a massive fan that’s prolly why he was such an ass on set same thing happened to Henry cavill but his fan base is massive and didn’t let Hollywood drop him after the Witcher.

    • Same with the villain girl in falcon and winter soldier. She was honestly pretty reasonable for a good chunk of the story, but then she just randomly blows up a building full of people and shows no remorse, because the writers had to make her objectively bad. Which made falcon warming up to her at the end kinda odd. That would have made much more sense if she had simply remained an extremist who was willing to break things in the name of justice, and just got in over her head.

  • This can really be summed up in seven sentences. 1: Jokes should be used sparingly. 2: Never let the villain be mocked without severe consequences. 3: Even a sympathetic villain should be overtly wrong in most cases. 4: Powerful villains should utilize their power in creative, intelligent and dangerous ways. 5: Powerful villains should always try to raise the stakes as high as they can get them, and put nonstop pressure on the heroes. 6: Maybe let the bad guy get some victories and take a few victory laps once in awhile. 7: The villains need to be distinctive in their looks, feel, motivations and abilities.

  • My biggest problem with Kang is that they showed him, they told the audience he was the “next big bad” after Thanos. What made Thanos so good was that he was kept a secret, he wasn’t known until The Avengers came out and even then he was only in the Post Credits scenes until Guardians vol 1. Having the big bad be the first villain in his saga and get defeated in that same first movie, shows how weak he is compared to Thanos. Thanos was this looming threat that worked behind the scenes, sitting in his throne until he had to take matters in his own hands. Kang is shown from the start. If they kept Kang out of the public, and kept him in the shadows, possibly in the Quantum Realm, he could’ve been this super powerful threat, even without doing anything.

    • That's because Kang/Nathaniel Richards of earth 616 story is being told in reverse, we first get to see him after he won everything he is He Who Remains, in Ant-man he's Kang the conqueror ( and he's nerfed heavily since he can't use his time manipulation in quantum realm ) He got his plan down and only need Alioth to set it in motion, next we will maybe see him as an ally before he start his conqueror path, then in Kang dynasty will probably be Nathaniel Richards backstory detailed and how the multiversal war came to be, then in secret wars his story get tied back up in the loop, he capture and weaponized Alioth and make a deal with the Heroes so he become He Who Remains again.

  • I honestly think the villains would have been less wasted if they weren’t defeated at the end of every single movie. It would have been so cool to see more villains team up with other villains to take down the main heroes, especially when the heroes get their own side trilogies. Introducing a new villain in every single film only to kill them off in the end each time isn’t very entertaining. This is why I really enjoyed Infinity War. The ending didn’t fall flat; the villain actually won; and the heroes actually tasted failure for once.

But what they should have done was take Tony's cavalier attitude, and then remove every last drop of humanity from it. Like have Ultron casually kill someone, make a cocky remark, and focus on just how disturbing it is that he is incapable of feeling any remorse over what he's doing because he just lacks the capacity to feel empathy. And man, they really needed to add red lights in his mouth to give that iconic jack-o-lantern look.

  • One Problem I have with MCU villains is that they kill them off way too early - building a rivalry between characters leads to far more tension, and dynamic relationships. MODOK in the comics is supposed to be a pretty important character (to a degree), as he's often depicted as the Leader of A.I.M. (Advanced Idea Mechanics), but they just turned him solely into a comedic character. The villains in Spider-Man: No Way Home also just felt like a nostalgia trick, though I enjoyed No Way Home far more then Quantumania, because it's story actually meant something (both in wrapping up unfinished character arcs and progressing Tom Holland's Spider-Man), and Willem Dafoe's Goblin was great. A good example of wasting a character is Dark of the Moon Shockwave. In the Transformer's comics, and some of the show's, he's often depicted as a Mastermind who manipulates things carefully for his own agenda, either that or he's depicted as one of Megatron's most deadly and loyal follower's. In Dark of the Moon, however, they turned him into a massive brute, similar to the treatment Bane got in Batman and Robin. Overall, the reason why we don't get good villain's is probably a mix of the producer's thinking they're being "creative" or a general disconnect from the audience and writers. I'm pretty sure one of the writer's said in response something like "I'm right, they're wrong." Acting like a baby and saying your right and everyone else is wrong is one of the most delusional stance's a producer can take. It's like when the writer for Secret Invasion said they didn't care if people didn't like the show. Disconnect from the audience is perhaps one of the most deadly thing's to a franchise; it's happening right now with (again) Transformers. Many fans (though I admit there are a lot of fans who'd rather not have a reboot) want the new movie's to simply be disconnected from Michael Bay's "lore," yet some of the producer's insist that, to quote them: "It's not a sequel, but it's definitely not a reboot." As if that's supposed to mean anything (Rise of the Beast's is set in 1994, so if it is connected to the Bay continuity, then it would've already not been a sequel by definition). I think disconnect in marvel is far more powerful, however. Marvel writer's seem to actively disregard their fan's, often calling the community "toxic." To a degree the Marvel community is full of bad influences, but that doesn't give you the right to disappoint (what is most likely) a majority of the fan's who simply want good content. When you have writer's throwing temper tantrums and saying they are solely in the right and everyone else who disagrees is wrong (I guess you could call it "opinion fascism" or something) then you know the future isn't that bright. Considering the director for Quantumania is also allegedly the director for Kang dynasty, to say that I'm scared would be an understatement. It seems most Marvel villains are here to provide an opposite to a Hero, to make you aww instead of think. Good stories make you think and talk about them long after they've been released. If Sam Raimi's Spider-man movie's were bad we probably wouldn't be talking about them as much as we do now. The First Spider-Man actually cared about showing us an opposite; Green Goblin and Spider-Man are two sides of the same coin essentially. Peter learnt to use his powers for good upon gaining animosity (the mask), where as Norman learnt to use his powers for evil because with the mask on he is basically free of judgement. Both are opposites yet still scarily similar, a "what the hero could've become" story. But again, corporation's don't care about art; they care about money. Case in point, using AI to create scripts and or recreate the face's of dead actors (the writer's strike had a reason for happening).

I think to sum it up though, corporations only want to adapt the vague characteristics of a comic-book storyline without actually paying a character their due respect (and I'm in no way a comic book purist). A long running theme you can also see in Marvel villains is that they have views on how society is wrong, but they are quickly defeated in a few movies by the heroes who have "better" views on society. I'm not going to point things or start quoting a conspiracy theory but a decently detailed video pointed this out as "propaganda," and I admit it's definitely a tradition for Marvel movies.

    • @@user-wh7gr5rx8o That's exactly what the problem with the Michael bay transformer movies were; they were over-saturated with "characters" (who did nothing but die and sell toys), with barely any of them getting time to shine. Regardless DOTM was still an insult to Shockwave's character, though I definitely see the reason for him not having a lot of spotlight - and his design was kinda cool. Rise of the Beasts, whilst not being a great movie, fixes this issue by having Scourge be almost the sole antagonist of the movie and (sort of) leaving an effect on the audience, because he has actual spotlight. If they were to ever use Shockwave as a Transformers villain it shouldn't be in the same movie where someone like Sentinel Prime is also the villain. I also find it funny (in no way to discredit you're argument, however) is that Megatron, Starscream, and Soundwave don't actually do much in the movie (Soundwave's pet, Laserbeak, does most of his work for him). Megatron sits down and just watches the movie (quite literally), Starscream is killed off (by a human), and Soundwave just takes hostages and tortures Sam's girlfriend. Sentinel was kind of a cool character, I like it when they take a character who is basically the father of a character but has an opposing philosophy (in this case Optimus wants to preserve Earth whilst Sentinel want's to save Cybertron at Earth's expense), but they didn't really do it well in this movie. The Human Betrayer character (even I forgot his name lol) is also really boring and feels evil for no reason, they could've easily used that evil cyborg scientist guy from the cartoons.

Also why in no way home strange will agree to do so much dangerous spell for such a stupid reason it had to be mephisto. This movie would be better if peter helps dr. Strange to stop mephisto resulting in multiverse of madness where dr. Strange fights mephisto with the help of wanda who gets over her pain slowly in the movie, but both wanda vision and multiverse of madness were given to women villains instead of mephisto who is a man villain. In no way home it should be shown that the 3 peters fight with sinister six and then they help strange stopping mephisto, by this plan we could have seen tobey Maguire in the dr.

Loki and Malekeith would have been an interesting Pair where Malekeith is like a broken mirror version of Loki, which would have made an even more intriguing Thor villain. At the same time, Kurse should also be a misunderstood villian who can relate to Thor and his past of warrior escapades, someone who could have been part of Thor's entourage (The Warriors Three) and have shared beliefs of warfare. A four-corner opposition like the first Nolan Batman film would have been an interesting take in Thor the Dark World. The second Thor movie would have really established Thor's world, especially with the realms and how they ultimately have disagreements with Asgard.

We all thought that Yoda was going to be this great strong warrior and Vader was just an evil villain who killed Luke’s father. However, making Yoda a small green creature shows us how the force operates beyond traditional physical strength and the material realm, making it more mystical and mysterious. Meanwhile, Vader being Luke’s father makes the conflict between them much more complicated sand flips their relationship on its head in a way no one saw coming. The problem with modern day subversion is that for whatever reason, they flipped the dynamic. Instead of making things more meaningful, they make things less meaningful then what we thought it was. While it’s not impossible to make that work, more often than not, it just results in devaluing the story and the investment the audience put into the story. Making everyone ask the same question: “What’s the point?” Only for the unbearably smug author to answer: “ The point is that there is no point, because you all expected that to happen and I did something else. Hahaha aren’t I so clever!!!”

T’challa (who is in his 40s) only saw the Dora as his own daughters. Okoye (who was an teenage Dora during this time) also saw him as her father. As well as the other Dora Milaje. However, Nakia (also an teenage Dora) was in loved with T’challa. He was also with his ex fiancé: Monica Lynne. An African American Women who was his love interest way before Storm. Mepthisto wanted to mess around T’challa’s life so he made an illusion of Monica that fooled T’challa. Thinking this is his old lover, he tried to rekindled their relationship with an kiss but then Mepthisto turned the illusion off and it was revealed to be Nakia! T’challa being distraught, left and tried think what just happened, while Nakia became obsessed and even more in loved with T’challa. She then found out who Monica was and saw both her and T’challa in an pool together making out. She then lost it and tried to drown herself by jumping into the pool. Making T’challa perform CPR on her. (She was faking to be in danger) Then While being alone with Monica, Nakia tried to kill her but T’challa intercepted just in time by saving Monica and banishing Nakia out of the Dora Milaje and from Wakanda. Nakia was then kidnapped by One of T’challa’s old villian: Achebe. He did some experiments on her and made her even more crazier than before and had her gain superpowers. (The ability the make men fall in love with her and to age her up) She then joined Killmonger’s Group to take revenge against T’challa. Erik wanted to defeat T’challa in order to become king of wakanda. Nakia became the Villain “Malice” and dedicated her life on killing every woman in T’challa’s life either it be Monica Lynne (His lover), Nikki Adams (his ex girlfriend), Queen (his stepmother) Ramoda, Queen Divine Justice (his student/new Dora Milaje member).

    • Killmonger was a cool villain. From the text alone, he mirrored what other characters were already telling T'Challa. Shuri wanted progress out of the traditional elements of Wakanda (which played against her mother and Okoye) and Nakia had similar goals to Killmonger, only different plans for the execution. T'Challa's father was also easily framed as making a mistake, since he did kill his own brother and leave Eric an orphan instead of trying to understand their position or compromise in any way. T'Challa mirroring his attitude, keeping his values, was not a great look. That movie made Killmonger evil enough not to outshine T'Challa, but made T'Challa obviously in the wrong enough to make Killmonger compelling. Killing him off by the end is such a big waste.

    • The author of this video also skipped over the nuances of what actually made Killmonger popular as well. It deals heavily with the countless injustices Black Americans had faced up to that point (assuming the MCU mirrored their real life counter part America as far as history goes.), and to see a character rise to power to presumably help end those injustices once and for all was a huge part of why Killmonger had so much pull. Not only that, but Killmonger's father did what he did to help the Black people that were suffering across America, and although he betrayed Wakanda's rules, he did it for a cause he viewed as righteous. He believed giving a bit of Wakanda's power and equipping Blacks abroad would help them in the long run and assist in elevating them to the same stature as Wakanda, if not outright joining them. Black Panther's father having no choice but to execute Killmonger's father just lead to Killmonger inheriting his father's will in a more twisted manner. It wouldn't be an understatement to assume Killmonger would've become a modern day Hitler in trying to "liberate" Black people all over the world by genociding and or subjugating everyone else. Killmonger then proceeds to expose that he himself wanted absolute power to achieve is goals, all the while "Liberation" being a core ideal he held on through the entirety of his journey, adopting a "means justify the ends" approach. Nonetheless, the main lure of Killmonger had been the ideal he possessed. A flawed execution and approach, but an understandable one that continues to resonate til today.

  • What I find fascinating about Ultron is that Joss already did this right once. When he was writing the X-Men, he introduced Danger; an AI made by Charles Xavier that goes rogue, builds a body and attacks the X-Men. She's introduced brilliantly, has very serious dialogue, and has an interesting fighting style built about perfectly analyzing the fighting style of the X-Men. Why Joss didn't adapt parts of that story arc is beyond me.

    • Sometimes in creative works, you are contractually obligated to not make things to similar to something you've already made, if that something is owned by someone else. So, if Joss makes a well written AI character for Fox, and then tries to use the same beats for a well written AI for the MCU, even though Joss made both of them, he doesn't own either. The studios he was working for does. The thing about "cutthroat legal battles over stupid shit" is right there in the name. They weren't even allowed to use the term "mutants" because of the split in X-Men rights.

  • In the comics when Spider-man explains his power to his wife MJ she responds with; "Wait... so you can stick to any surface with not just your hands and feet, but with any bodypart? That means..." before Spidey cuts her off with "...later." The thing I loved about that line (apart from being a dirty joke) is that MJ is challenging the readers creativity; What could she be thinking? What crazy things are these newly weds up to? Creative use of superpowers, in private or when facing enemies, is what makes them fun in the first place. Sadly most of what we get in the MCU is just a CGI punchfest with little attention to strategy, tactics or creativity. As you pointed out; I think no other character embodies this failure better than Loki.

They get hurt that's the movie, it ain't Jackie Chan flicks where he broke himself for scenes. Hollywood/Marvel/Disney took the safe route then became cheap asses with it. Yet people wanna defend it like "They can get bettr" like when? When I'm like 50 and they finally get around to Genosha with the X-Men? Phase 4 and 5 proved they need to slow down and pick their poisons better. We don't need a GRAND epic. Just have the universe connected while having heroes wihin it interact. Like a easter egg, cameo, it doesn't need to be a massive team up. Like we get in Echo she whooping ass and some goons escape. She runs outside and they're tied up in webs from some streetlights.

  • There's a reason why shows like The Boys and Invincible got really popular. It's not because of the gore and violence. It's not because of the comedy (they're definitely appreciated tho). It's because villains like Homelander and Omni Man instill so much constant fear when watching. You wonder to yourself, 'How far will they go in this scenario?' Any time Omni Man was with his wife I was scared for her. Any time anyone in the Vought building even *walked by Homelander* I was legitimately terrified. Even though Omni Man is more controlled than Homelander I still felt an equal amount of fear. I knew that these characters were serious. The problem with MCU villains is they aren't serious. Ultron wanted to get rid of humans but he was so unserious about it that I didn't take him seriously. The heroes also aren't taking the threats seriously so I don't feel danger. Most MCU villains aren't a threat because nobody treats it like one. Having characters like Thor and Captain Marvel half ass everything is obnoxious. Marvel can just look at what's popular and learn from them but they don't for some reason?????

And if you think replicating Saturday morning kids cartoon show formulas to life action movies is a good idea, I'm sorry, you're an idiot. In those kids shows and comics, the "villain" returns every other episode with yet another silly plot to do X, get thwarted, then runs away, because those shows are basically schoolyard rivalries with the heroes and villains never killing each other but only having the superhero equivalent of brawls. THe moment stories get more serious and realistic, you inevitably have people asking "Why doesn't Batman just murder the Joker instead of sending him to Arkhan Asylum over and over, from which he appparently can escape from any time he wants to?" Which lead to a kind of fascist worldview where the "hero" should murder anyone he deems a villain and is still seen as the "hero" because, hey, he's killing "villains", that makes him the good guy, right? /sarcasm

  • Not to mention that the Mandarin had his cool power rings, that then later turned out to be alien technology that he'd stolen from the spaceship of Fin Fang Foom and his crew. So he's actually a full tech user like Tony Stark except his tech is advanced enough to be indistinguishable from magic.

  • I don't like the Red Skull in The First Avenger. You barely get to see him as the Red Skull, and just an evil guy. Nothing is done with him afterwards, I'm not the biggest fan of the voice (Steve Blum is the best), and the Cosmic Cube should have been called that, and not "The Teseract." I think Dormammu was awful in the MCU. He isn't usually a giant monster, he's the same size as Dr. Strange and is a crazy conqueror and ruler of the "Dark Dimension." Here he's just a big purple monster that sounds evil. That's lame.

    • You can't blame this on China. The Iron Man 2 "Mandarin" wasn't played by an East Asian person, and he didn't have particularly Fu Manchu-ish vibes. Disassociating the Mandarin from those racist tropes would have been enough, see Xu Wenwu Mandarin as a good example. They just didn't do a good job executing it.

    • You think the Chinese people and government cared about some stupid American racist stereotype? They already see that when reading whatever the garbage that was American press wrote about China. A Marvel film is going to hurt them that bad? They’re not unfamiliar with American Yellow Peril media. Get it in your head: it’s an American who decided that some Fu Manchu-esque Iron Man villain is problematic and decided to replace him with a white knockoff that got treated as a joke. Not the Chinese audience nor the Chinese movie censors. It’s the work of some Americans who inserts their own stereotypes and tropes about their work and instead of owning up to it, blames the supposed sensibilities of others for their own error in judgment. That’s pathetic. Tony Leung was a movie legend from the golden days of HK cinema. The reason why folks in China and other Asian market are watching Shang-Chi is not for Simu Liu (according to them, his face was so generic and bland for a lead) and Akwafina (who was never really popular in China). They’re watching for Tony Leung. And boy did they waste him. He just looks so non-threatening for supposedly someone who takes his name and reputation so seriously. The deeds done in the name of the fake Mandarin (bombing a U.S. base, bomb the Chinese Theater, kills an oil tycoon, and kidnaps the POTUS) are way more threatening than whatever he was doing in Shang-Chi. I’m even confused whether Wenwu is some kind of immortal warlord or a Chinese Triad (organized crime) boss. The biggest threat to his family was some Chinese Triads who killed his wife, which in Chinese cinema is pretty low in terms of threat level for a supposed powerful being like him. As someone of Chinese descent, I much prefer some powerful Chinese techno-wizard than whatever we got. He’s immortal thanks to the rings? You can incorporate even that look for a more compelling villain. It means he kept that same look as when he was immortal. The Fu Manchu came about during the Chinese Century of Humiliation, so make him some kind of immortal Chinese warlord with powers whose motivation was punishing the enemies of his homeland. DC comics did a good job at showcasing a Fu Manchu villain in their Chinese Superman (Kong Kenan) comic whose goals are still opposed to the hero, but still nuanced and deep enough that it gave the hero something to think about. For supposedly being more progressive than DC, Marvel was unable to produce that kind of nuance for their movies.

  • this 2-hour long video is single-handedly better than most of the films of this genre Talked about every problem of the movies villains are heart of the story. Plot exists because of their actions. Making a good villain will make the movie automatically a better movie, better development for hero. And having a giant storage of iconic villains we always get a evil version of the hero. Even if we ever get a iconic villain it becomes a joke like mcu mandarin (at least by the end it was not an absolute joke with 10rings but same again duplicate villain for shangchi) all of it now can be seen by many fans out there as well after years of ignorance since the phase 4 failures phase 4 to me is like what Morbius is to sony believing, we will see whatever marvel will make we will watch that mindlessly The Marvels Flopping in the box office just puts a Smile on my face. Movies are getting cancelled or scheduled to later times might be good, but only time will tell us.

That is, obvious to those who put the slightest bit of effort into analyzing why they do or do not like a movie.

  • It sucks how each film wipes the slate clean for the villain only for them to be mostly killed off. There are no henchmen/criminals wanting to rise up to the occasion, no scenes of villains getting arrested and charged for their crimes, no family of the villian wanting revenge, no villains wanting to team up, etc. We never see their plan come to fruition. Even Thanos was done dirty. People like to meme "Thanos was right," but ironically we'll never know if he was right or not because Marvel chose to do a time skip. Not only a time skip, but then use time travel to resurrect everyone. It didn't even undo the snap when you think about it. It just brought those who were gone into the future. And what are the ramifications of those already alive seeing people be brought back to life, and realizing the heroes and villains are capable of such feats like time travel, reality warping, and resurrection? Nothing as far as I've seen.

  • The Mandarin was the biggest dissapointed of the early MCU. It was literally the first warning of the modern intersectional writing and forced humor that Marvel is suffering from now. We has the signs. And while I dont lime Zemo's protrayal compared to the comics, I think the villian was still really good. He makes sense, he is grounded. Maybe it would've been better if he was not Zemo.
