It’s good to be bad sometimes. Here are our favorite MCU villains, and why we can’t let them go.
If the villains of the Marvel Cinematic Universe had to be described in a single word, it would probably be “inconsistent.” There’s no use trying to deny it–the good ones are really, really good, but the forgettable ones? Well, calling them forgettable is being pretty gentle, all things considered. But that’s okay, it would be impossible to make a shared cinematic universe with a decade’s worth of movies without missing the mark every now and then.
That said, sometimes it’s best to focus on the positives, so rather than remind you of characters like Yellow Jacket or Malekith or James Spader as Robert California as Ultron, we’re here to talk about the ones who fall into the other category. The absolute best of the best. The cream of the crop. Top of the pyramid–you understand what we mean. These are bad guys (and some anti-heroes) who, either by the sheer impact of their arcs in their respective movies, or by the potential they have to come back and impact the MCU in a major ways in the future, we just can’t stop thinking about.
So, without further ado, here are our favorite MCU villains and why we love them. Let us know your favorites in the comments below, or tell us why these bad guys aren’t so great after all. Points for creativity in your argument, and even more points for obscure pieces of trivia. Let’s go.
