All 38 Spider-Man Movie Villains Ranked (yes, really)

[@legomarioboy08]

Everyone knows Spider-Man's greatest villain is the writers.

[@Zombiesnyder13]

No, it's Avi Arad #AviAradOut

[@LucasHopkins2006]

Willem Dafoe was perfect as Green Goblin, in seconds he goes from Norman to a psychopath who really shows how Green Goblin is the Joker to Spider-Man’s Batman. He’s honestly up there with my favorite movie villains of all time behind Thanos and of course Darth Vader Though in terms of design, that easily goes to Mysterio, that suit is sick, and the fact they not only kept the fishbowl, but made it work is something I commend them for

[@theamazingspooderman2697]

exactly my thoughts

[@gayanudugampola8973]

I much i hate Mysterio being another ex stark employee that has beef with Tony. His design and character were great. Just wished he wasn't another ex stark employee.

[@connordougherty9860]

I think Goblin is the best villain in the entire MCU. Most of their villains we are told to relate to or understand their motives which is good writing but sometimes I just wanna see a vindictive psychopath who just enjoys chaos.

[@CrimsonMoonM]

What I enjoy about Raimi's Venom is that Eddie's grudge against Spidey were genuinely a result of Peter's callousness, as opposed to Comics Eddie, who simply found himself betting on the wrong horse during the Sin Eater debacle and wrongfully deflected blame onto Spidey.

[@dhggaming2906]

🤓🤓🤓

[@wyattlundrigan4740]

Raimis Venom gained majority of it’s inspiration from the 1994 Spider-Man TAS. Which doesn’t follow the comic book origin of the symbiote and venom, which actually turned out to be a great idea.

[@Strengthnerd5]

@@wyattlundrigan4740 ironically i think this is why the movie didint work. the eddie brock on the show had reasonable motivations to hate spider-man. even tho spider-man was doing the right thing his efforts to help did stymie eddie's career while he was doing legitimate and then foiling a few poorly thought out revenge schemes in which he was either a major or supporting part. this worked because it allowed eddie lots of episodes to develop making his motivations easier to grasp and cut a bit deeper. whereas the movie well better left unsaid

[@disneyknightspadilla1406]

Me too he was always been my favorite bad guy and I was expecting him to make his return in no way home, but never had. But hopefully he might appear next year for the next Venom movie incases there’s further consequences because you may not know when his back is turned.

[@thetruej7872]

Willem Dafoe Green Goblin and Alfred Molina Dr Octopus are the GOATs

[@FredFuchs570]

[@joaquinwaters1810]

Ok holy sh*t your pitch for bringing back Mysterio sold me. I love the character but I was kinda against bringing him back… but man what you described is the perfect way to do it. Plus it would be really cool to have Mysterio be MCU Spidey’s recurring arch nemesis

[@bodemanmeta747]

I knew nothing of your channel going into this video, but I’m so happily surprised to see another person as in-love with Mysterio as I am. Literally my favorite comic book villain of all time and I think the MCU adaptation does such a brilliant job of modernizing the character and maintaining every aspect of Quentin Beck’s character traits and the qualities of his that make him Spider-Man’s best villain

[@noahharris6724]

I think that MCU Mac Gargan should become the Scorpion, fight Black Suit Spider-Man, bond with the symbiote when Peter abandons it, and become the Venom of the MCU. This would allow the MCU to have its own distinct version of Venom and pay tribute to Gargan's stint as Venom in the comics.

[@MadMax-de5uh]

100%

[@Silver_Spectre]

I don’t really like when Scorpion was Venom but I think this a great idea

[@LeoChaseTheMythMaster]

Yes!

[@disneyknightspadilla1406]

I still feel like Gargon probably gonna be symbiote scorpion. I’d rather see him as a mutated monstrosity version rather than his comic costume version.

[@jnirvana4674]

I'm afraid that we won't finally see him. He would have been a good Scorpion/Venom because Michael Mando is a great actor and he knows how to intimidate

[@joiningbread8550]

I love how Mysterio was fully willing to paint the wall with a teens brains without the even hesitating.

[@NintendoMeister2260]

Their was at least reasoning behind Lizard wanting to turn everyone into Lizards in TASM. He basically wanted to evolve humans to be stronger and with him growing insane from turning into Lizard he took drastic measures.

[@pupulauls]

Honestly not enough people talk about how much the MCU Spider-Man *nail* their villains. Vulture, Mysterio, and Green Goblin is such a good lineup as the main villain for the first Tom Holland trilogy and all of them are played and written extremely well

[@eliasrodriguez1419]

Well to be fair green goblin was a raimi villan but other than that yeah honestly

[@Noshadesfunky]

i dissagree because the vulture was never that special but was done on equal levels like the lizzard and mysterio i also never cared about but he was done DIRTY IN Spider man 2 (tom hollond)

[@crypt5129]

Vulture was boring imo

[@DiamondLotus210]

I respect your opinion and I really enjoyed mysterio in FFH, but putting him above Dafoe’s Green Goblin and Molina’s Doc Ock is absolutely insane 😭

[@RayMcElroy50]

You forgot the biggest villain of all... AVI ARAD

[@181818hello]

Ahh yes a threat that even Spider-Man can't stop

[@AntsTheaterCorner2698]

He could destroy Thanos. Lol

[@triohazard6104]

Love this. Mysterio was absolutely my second favorite villain ever behind the Scarecrow. Both using illusions, fear, and insecurities to mess with whoever fights them. Both showing they are extremely intelligent even against powerhouses like Spidey or Bats

[@Joe_Vinky]

Bro same, scarecrow and mysterio are my 2 favorite comic villains. The way they both use mind games and illusions to mentally fuck with and break their heroes is so unique to other villains

[@thelittleredhairedgirlfrom6527]

I feel Miguel is a lot more fucked up than a lot of people acknowledge. He hid the death of the other Miles (edit: I meant the other Miguel), denying an innocent man a proper burial and deceiving his family into thinking he’s their loved one. Also I absolutely agree with you on Mysterio. The fun thing about Mysterio to me is that, if you really think about it, he’s the one villain Marvel _cannot_ kill. Quentin Beck may have been the one pulling the strings but he had an entire team behind him, a team that’s still out there and still has the tech they need to recreate him. Unless literally every single member of his crew gets wiped, Mysterio still lives.

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

He did all of that only to be proven wrong in the same movie but he doesn't top Goblin for me or even makes my top 10 because at the end of the day he is still a spiderman

[@AnDrei-nf5jb]

Wait, wait, when was there ever a mention of Miguel hiding the death of the other Miles and denying him proper burial?

KZbin started auto replaying this video randomly and I'm glad it did because hot dang I completely missed characters were in movies until I saw this again.

[@Venator2015]

Not gonna lie I’m very disappointed JJ isn’t number 1 on this list

[@Zombiesnyder13]

People shouldn't blame Marc Webb for the failure of TASM series They should blame AVI ARAD for stuffing so many characters for the sake of toys sales

[@TheDestroyerX]

Same for Spiderman 3 since Sam Raimi didn’t want to include Venom because he didn’t really know the character at the time

[@jonathansoto6984]

I agree with Mysterio. He’s a very underrated villain and I feel like everyone forgot about him but he was pretty cool and VERY evil. Like all of Spider-Mans villains are evil but at least they have hearts but Mysterio did not have a heart at all. He wanted to lie to the whole world, cause destruction for no reason, and kill children. Now that’s a bad guy!

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

I think he was forgotten because then No way home comes out and brings back legendary villains and a new look for Electro

[@jacobbelow4136]

I applaud you for including that lady who refused to pay for her pizza! (Especially as someone who's worked in the service industry and been snuffed by multiple customers, AND as someone who lives close to New York City and can testify to just how fantastic New. York pizza is!)

[@octaviasaenz6666]

Crazy ranking but your defense of Mysterio as a villain convinced me i underrated NWH. Ur right, he wipes the floor with Peter with lies, a gun, and a grin on his face. galaxy brained

[@TheFreeKidYT]

You ruined my day with this video, the fact Bully Maguire wasn’t number 1 ruined my whole day. I’m gonna put some dirt in your eye.

[@LuisPerez-hw9hb]

Prematurely ranking J Jonah Jamenson at 1. No questions asked.

[@samuelmackenzie5267]

I’ve come to appreciate tophers venom for what he was, I just don’t like that they kept peeling back the mask. Electro I just think is cool, and I’m including tasm 2. I think his theme is sick and think he has some of the coolest action scenes ever put to film for Spider-Man. I love how the Times Square scene is all about escalation; being in the wrong place at the wrong time, how circumstance affected the character and how Andrew’s Spider-Man tries calm the situation by remembering max as a person. For once Peter tried to do everything right and it still blew up in his face. Sometimes people just can’t be reasoned even when you try do everything right. That scene always facilitates, best scene in TASM 2 for me.

[@Cerri22PG]

People like to trash on some MCU design choices for their characters but man they nailed every single major Spider-Man villain down, from Vulture to Mysterio and even Shoker, also making William's goblin use the hood and the so needed redesign for Electro, I just love them all design-wise

[@Weegee5555]

Spider-Man 3 is my childhood film since I was little I always loved Sandman and this Venom, it surprised me growing up to see that in reality many people hate it.I always liked his design resembling Spider-Man's costume in Maleficent.s When I was little with my twin brother we called him ''The Evil Spider-Man'' I always liked this concept of a mirror Spider-Man, I think it's the role that best suits Venom rather than a giant black Alien who plays the clown

[@aymanriki1018]

i really do hope we get to see prowler and scorpion in spider-man 4

[@lonewolfboxing]

I'd like to see both of them working for the Kingpin.

[@disneyknightspadilla1406]

Either way, they can’t wait to see that. Hopefully they’ll remember that just by doing research first and then production later.

[@SpaceGenius8745]

I 100% agree to your thoughts on Raimi's Venom. He's the evil Spider-man. There is no Lethal Protector about him(although I like Tom Hardy's Venom better)

[@Crimson.Creates]

Can't wait to see where Bonesaw ranks

[@ALIEN-DUDE]

Number 1

[@DomingoCa-r3o]

Good list my Mysterio is awesome and he's very comic accurate

[@chameleonard95]

I remember seeing a theory that when Electro got “uploaded” in ASM2, he gained access to the internet and learned Peter’s identity A stretch but I like the explanation

[@SpoonDude]

In NWH when he describes the events leading to his death he has a throw away line about “absorbing data” which I assume is the quick explanation for why he knows the information that Peter is Spidey. Later in the movie is him seeing Peter’s unmasked face for the first time “you got a nice face you’re just a kid… I thought you were gonna be Black”

[@jackreynolds3465]

Electro heard Gwen call Spidey "Peter" by mistake so he does no Spiderman's name is Peter which does kind of qualify him to get picked up by Dr Stranges spell.

[@marveler8994]

I love how vultures gang is exactly like a regular workplace but they sell illegal alien technology

[@mydhouse]

Electro, not only connected himself to everything to possibly be able to learn who Peter is, but heard Gwen yelling Peter’s name. That would explain how he didn’t know that Peter was white until he took the mask off.

[@luisfifahd3033]

Green Goblin spectacular Spider-Man still goated so I think it should include shows as well

[@Mrloophole]

Good ranking 👍

[@GOODYGOODGOOD789]

6:47 The best thing I can say about his design in TASM 2 is that he looks like a rejected, K-pop star. 7:01 The thing about The Rhino is that he has also been a little over-the-top (which isn't inherently bad) but in TASM 2 he is just cracked up to 11. All the cartoons have nothing on the level of cartoonishness that this Rhino is. 12:22 That is noteworthy since the Scorpion was always a buffed-up character since in pretty much every version it is clearly established that The Scorpion is more powerful than Spider-Man (because of course, Scorpions eat spiders). 13:14 Tombstone being Kingpin's right-hand man in Into The Spider-Verse reminds me of the very complicated rights issues that happened with the Kingpin behind the scenes (because while Kingpin is a Spider-Man villain he is also Daredevil's arch-nemesis so for a time it was unclear whether he was solely a Daredevil character or a Daredevil and Spider-Man character when rights were concerned) which lead to Tombstone in Spectacular Spider-Man (speaking of complicated rights issues) basically being the Kingpin because at that point the Kingpin (when rights were concerned) as purely a Daredevil character so they had to have a substitution. That of course isn't the case anymore since he was in Into the Spider-Verse but whenever someone talks about Tombstone being a henchman of the Kingpin (or when he is one) I can't help but get reminded of that. Now this isn't a bad thing but it is just something I wanted to bring up. Also bringing up Daredevil and Spider-Man reminds me of how I think Zeb Wells and Nick Lowe seem to be mixing up Spider-Man and Daredevil (and that is me being very generous, cough cough Paul). Basically, the big difference between these two characters is that Spider-Man can lose and sometimes does but his life is supposed to be realistic, not shitty (even though a realistic life has shitty moments) while Daredevil is Marvel's greatest loser (and I mean that in the best way possible) and those are the reasons why both are great characters but they are the same characters. I could explain why Daredevil is Marvel's greatest loser but I found a video that already explained it better than I could so here is a link to it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6jXgpmIpshjsNU 26:37 There were some deleted scenes that expanded on that but sadly those were, of course, deleted.

[@gentle2k504]

renaissance vulture from Across the Spider-Verse is one of my favs for the line delivery and the hammerspace ability

[@alimation5003]

Peter “you took everything from me” Mysterio “I don’t even know who you are”

[@GEMINIRED300]

How is Peter B not on the list? He was literally suicidal in ITSV, Miles inspired him to clean his life up and have a child, only to drink Miguel's Kool-Aid and not have Miles' back in ATSV?

[@StarvinLG]

Electro probably is a different version but in No Way Home, but he actually doesnt know who Spiderman is. There's a scene at the end where Garfield takes off his mask and they make a joke that Electro thought he'd be black. Honestly i think it's just a plothole that "everyone who knows peter parker is spiderman is coming to the MCU" and this version of Electro actually didn't

[@noobmasterruben5167]

Before I watched this video, I was questioning how are there 38 when the best I cud count was 25 or 26. Then you picked the pizza lady at last place lmao.
