The MCU Villain Problem - (Part 3)

If only we could get more TaserFace...

[@metallord6960]

As good as Vulture was, I was disappointed that he was motivated by hatred for Tony and Peter was just caught in the crossfire.

[@srstriker6420]

Yeah and the same for Mysterio because the only villains that should be connected to Stark is Green goblin,Hobgoblin and Dr Octopus

[@changvasejarik62]

The fact that before no way home spiderman is essentially just Tony’s sidekick does get irritating.

[@LegacyComics100]

That’s why many people refer to MCU Spider-Man as “Iron Boy Jr.” Noticed we could’ve saw this coming with the show Ultimate Spider-Man where Spider-Man’s villains were involved because of Shield hence Nick Fury Jr.

He didn't really hate Tony. His motivations were providing for his family.

[@gonnsolo8506]

I liked Ego in Guardians 2 not action-wise (the fights against him were kinda shit) but character-wise, his influence over Peter and everything that happens around him is part of what makes Guardians 2 such a great film.

[@changvasejarik62]

Plus there is genius in having one of the great action heroes as the big bad.

[@LegacyComics100]

The actor did a good job and it was fine for what James Gunn wanted to do, but the issues stem from the odd choice to make Ego the Living Planet the father of Star Lord(and Mantis but that’s more confusing) where these are characters that you wouldn’t know have any connection with each other. It’s like if I were to say Optimus Prime is the son of Unicron, you would start to raise a eyebrow how you could connect the dots on that. Also one more thing, Star Lord’s origin makes way more sense and far way more interesting in the comics, where Star Lord’s father was fugitive noble stranded on earth due to a coup d’etat.

[@bedtimegames]

This really makes me realize a couple things. For one, this really shows that, while people often praise Marvel over DC for "taking its time to introduce characters" it really doesn't. The villians they are introducing here are clearly not given enough time, as are a couple of the heroes, as you've pointed out in your other videos. There could be far more movies made out of the material theyve glossed over. The other thing I realized is that once I contemplated there being far more marvel movies that just immediately felt like a slog and a chore which tells me that these movies have already not been worth the time I've invested into watching them for awhile, probably because of what this video is about among other things. Also, I kinda want that Spy Kids video....

[@thecod2345]

Honestly they usually have an adequate amount of time, you’d be shocked just how little time some of the commonly cited best villains in cinema have. The problem is a combination of things that’s it’s own discussion, chief being the inefficient use of that time.

[@jonathancampbell5231]

I think Marvel Studios got worried very early on that if they had too many recurring villains, then audiences would have a hard time keeping track and lose interest- for example, Jeff Bridges said his character Obadiah Stane was supposed to survive Iron Man 1, and he only learned that was changed to his death on the day his death scene was shot. The other issue is that there is very little planning behind the scenes beyond "okay, these are the films / shows we are going to be making over the next few years", and many story's are written only when they come to making a particular movie rather than in advance- meaning, a lot of last-minute changes and a lot of plot threads and characters set up in one movie that get dropped later on, either because of studio interference or because the new writers and directors want to do their own thing.

[@low-key-tony]

They definitely “took their time” with Zemo. Which on one hand was cool and all but it seems more like their molding Zemo into being one of Sam’s villains.

[@jonathancampbell5231]

@@low-key-tony They didn't take their time with Zemo. They just used him as a villain in Civil War and decided not to kill him in case they wanted to use him again, and later on decided they did; in both cases though, they used him to fit the plot, rather than make the plot fit Zemo and his character. They no more "took their time" with him than their did Crossbones or Red Skull (weird how it's Captain America villains this happens to, now that I think of it...). They just put him aside rather than threw him in the garbage (ie. killed him off) as they do with most other bad guys. They didn't have some sort of master plan for him or anything- that's not how the MCU rolls.

[@kindlingking]

I used to think Shocker was a goofy villain too, but then I fell in love with his potrayal in Spectacular Spiderman. It's just so natural for him to be an elite thug for hire, who isn't the main boss level dangerous, but competent enough to be a serious threat. A mini boss of sorts - underestimate him and you'll lose. Damn, looking at all these underutilized marvel villains makes me wish for more seasons of Spectacular so much.

[@kaylemjoseph8727]

happy the guardians 3 villain was just pure evil for once instead of trying to make us feel sorry for him.

[@gavinpage5655]

11:23 - You’re absolutely right. Now that I think about it, her magic should have been the reason Thor managed to go to Earth in the avengers movie, while the Bifrost was destroyed. Amora could’ve been an exiled/imprisoned witch who would have Thor in her debt due to this favor.

GOTG2 is a really good movie.

[@nixuniverse5240]

Of all the characters so far, Shuma Gorath upsets me the most because he & Blackheart are some of my favorite Marvel villains. I said under a video once “I surely hope he’s not portrayed as a giant kaiju who just flails his tentacles around and dies”, and that’s literally *exactly* what they did. I’m scared for Blackheart & Zarathoss if they ever get added to the MCU.

[@srstriker6420]

Well he was in Dr Strange 2

[@jonathancampbell5231]

That wasn't Shuma-Gorath; that was a different demon called Gargantos, which in the comics is a one-eyed tentacled sea monster that serves a race called the Naga (although clearly the design is more Shuma). They can't actually use Shuma-Gorath in the films because of copyright issues (the name originates from Conan the Barbarian), so this is the best we've got for now, but technically Shuma-Gorath has not appeared in the MCU, only a lookalike.

I remember playing the Marvel Avengers Alliance game a very long time ago and remembering the Enchantress being one of the iconic villains in the game. The fact that she was completely absent from the movies despite her popularity and even considering the MCU’s current direction is extremely bizarre. But then again I suppose we should be grateful as Disney would probably bastardize her the same way they did with so many other MCU characters (cough cough She Hulk cough cough)

[@TheGhostLegend001]

The Ultimate Alliance games are slept on. Before playing them I was only ever into select heroes like Spider-Man, Hulk, or Batman. It wasn’t until after I played the first game as a kid that I realized that those characters lived in a greater universe. It blew my mind, and made me realize the potential of the MCU when it started coming out a few years later…

[@olivercrespo2329]

The cinematic universe format itself is also an issue. We don’t get time to develop each heroes rogues gallery because the plot is always driving the greater narrative at large. That’s why I liked the Home trilogy despite its flaws they felt relatively self contained and each movie had the best McU villains because of it.

[@ArcTrooperRod-269]

I honestly Hate when a Universe wants to develop a Long Term Story based only on Movies, Same thing happened to DC with its Pseudo DCAMU where they constantly wasted or introduce characters OFF SCREEN & 0 coherent development

[@jonathancampbell5231]

I don't see how the Home movies are self-contained- the first two contain a lot of references to previous Iron Man, Captain America and Avengers movies (and a nod to Captain Marvel) and has Tony Stark, (not) Nick Fury and Dr Strange as supporting characters, while the 3rd relies heavily on people watching five different Spider-Man movies from two separate continuities made by a different studio entirely.

Now that I think about it, Ego was wasted. There's so much you can do with a living planet as a villain. Imagine if he could change the environment or the climate of himself. Summoning volcanoes, tsunamis, and earthquakes. Make the atmosphere toxic. Evolve the animals living on him to be more hostile. Ego sees himself as a god, so why not give him powers like one?

[@jonathancampbell5231]

Because then the Guardians could never hope to defeat him. He can do all of those things in the comics, of course, but consequently he's more likely to slug it out with someone like Galactus than a rag-tag bunch of misfits, though he's not exactly a villain in the comics either. Would have made more sense just to use a different villain, honestly.

[@echo_z319]

Y'all should watch Surtur in Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes S2. Any scene where he is so scary, it's like you're watching the devil himself. You feel so powerless and small when he's on screen.

Hela really lives from Cate Blanchett's great performance and I give the movie credit for her not being defeated by the protagonist.

The movie overall is still crap, though, and massively overrated.

[@alio6359]

That's kinda sad as I didn't think it was that bad really. They should've kept the tone a little more serious but love and thunder imo took way too far with all the humour. Ragnarok could've went the world war hulk way but progressed the story to lead to infinity war. I guess they're saving world war hulk for the multiverse saga.

@@echo_z319 Yes. That's my opinion. The movie is entertaining, yes, but it is still a crap movie. Before phase 4, no other movie in the MCU caused so much damage, maybe with the exception of Endgame, but I think that's something one could argue about. It does poor character work, creates several plot holes, butchers Loki, Hulk and the Grandmaster as characters and is the reason why Love and Thunder with a lot of unfunny humor even exists.

Interesting what you say about Enchantress -- a character I don't know much about, but heard was in some.ways amalgamated into Hela alongside Angela and arguably Lady Death, much like Whiplash in Iron Man 2 being an amalgam of Whiplash and Crimson Dynamo.

Great video! Love your stuff.

[@antona.1327]

No, she wasn't ''amalgamated''. Nobody who made that garbage movie even knows who Amora is (probably why we dodged a bullet and didn't see Waititi get his sleazy hands on her). Crimeson Dynamo and Whiplash were combined at the very least because they were two villains of the same character. What does the stupid MCU Hela-in-name-only even have in common with The Enchantress? The whole thing about Amora is that she's the gardener of the Apples of Idunn and tries to win over Thor's love. What aspects did Hela-in-name-only in that awful movie have? It's creepy to even think that, since they did a stupid decision of making her Thor's sister - so what does that mean, she secretly wants to make Thor sleep with her? Angela is nothing like MCU's piss-poor Hela. And Lady Death... did you just randomly name bunch of characters and saw non-existent connection between them? Why do we even need to ''amalgamate'' anything with Hela? She's a great character on her own (not in the MCU), especially knowing she's Loki's daughter in the comics.

You are right with all of these. Ego is a living damn planet, but in the movie, you never get that impression. It feels like just an entity that's so happened to be in a planet. Yea, the actor played a charismatic character, but the climax was completely disappointing. This could have been an opportunity to introduce Adam Warlock as an actual competent character for the Infinity War as some sort of neutral force, and not the man-child we got. The Enchantress could have been an interesting add since she has a complicated relation with Thor. She's actually evil, but she genuinely loves Thor, so she can have a 180 on her plans due to Thors involvement. She could have had played a role in Love and Thunder and justify Jane Foster presence by having some sort of thug-o-war with Thors heart and reason. And Surtr could also have had played a bigger role in later movies, since his mission is to destroy Asgard, but they clarify that Asgard is not a place, but their people, their blood line, so since technically Surtr has not fulfilled his mission, he could still be alive and in chase of the Asgardians.

He's not right in his views- overpopulation doesn't work they way he thinks it does, at all.

I certainly don't root for Valkyrie, a hypocrite who whines about Asgard being bad while she sells people as slaves. You gave MCU's Hela way more praise than she deserves. Certainly it would be bizarre to expect any kind of nuance or depth from a Waitit movie, but her whole point in the comics is to be, like you said, The Goddess of Death. And this poor-man's version of Hela calls herself that, but that moniker has no meaning. Her only interest in ruling over the world of the living. Odin is a cameo, Loki is the third wheel... Anyway, Thor Ragnaschlock was a mistake and the story of Ragnarok deserved a proper epic movie in the style of Jackson's LOTR movies, which the 2004 Ragnarok comic was heavily inspired by.

The Enchantress (and Absorbing Man) were both used in The Agents Of Shield TV show, assuming that’s still canon, there is no chance of them showing up ?

[@jasperswarp]

Actually I’m wrong, the character was Lorelei (sister of enchantress) same Powers though, only memorable to me as a stand-in enchantress.

Ego, as well as Gotg2, is imo quite underrated Ego is the embodiment of the obstacle that the guardians have to face in the movie: literally their ego Ego had to leave his love of his life because "i knew if i return a fourth I'd never leave…" He sees himself, his reason of existence so important so that he would kill his love of his life. Throughout the movie, Peter is full of his head of finally found his father that he thinks Gamora being suspicious is she being jealous. Gamora wanted to be the "favorite child" that she basically left Nebula be tortured for years. Rocket is so deeply insecure thus he tried to make everyone hates him. Yondu had to pretend to be that "strong, tough man" so that he never opens his heart about how he loves Peter as his son. Only Drax is able to be vulnerable and care for the others. They all comes to put down their ego and tries to resolve their problems… except Ego. The one that put a tumor in someone's brain got destroyed by a bomb planted in his brain. As a form of planet or not, who cares. He is personal, he both echos and contradicts the protagonists. That along makes him one of the most interesting villains for me.

9:55 The Doom reference is because Karl Urban also played the protagonist in the Doom movie

[@blightchip4236]

I’m about 90% sure the enchantress shows up in Agents of shield either that or she’s just some random Asgardian that can make men fall in love with her

[@jamesgunner9511]

At this point absence is a blessing in the MCU

[@IvanDubsK7]

I didn’t realize how important Enchantress was goddamn, I first saw her when I played Lego Marvel 2 and she just seemed like a D-List villain, but then again that game is trash Though I wish Karl Urban got better material, his performances as Billy Butcher and Judge Dredd are iconic man’s deserved better

Shocker and Vulture legit important to SpiderMan. Both are top 15 SpiderMan villains

[@Theoneandonly0822gman]

Enchantress is already in the MCU through agents of shield, and if their gonna redo her I think they'd just use Sylvie from Loki

[@andresomerville4896]

Enchantress wasn't in the MCU but she was in the Agents of Shield TV show. It was the episode Sif cameoed in.

To be fair with thor ragnarok, it may not be a faithful adaptation, but is a fun movie. But i think it would be cool if loki was the villain and he basically sends a lot of thor villains, while he brakes the castle defenses until gets to loki

[@srstriker6420]

Exactly as it should have truly been the proper Ragnarok like have the Serpent

[@CIA871]

They didnt include the enchantress because she is ironically to feminine for the MCU. As much as Disney loves to champion "diversity" it has to be a certain kind. Its not enough to have more female characters, but instead it needs female characters who can do everything on there own and "dont need no man." The woman can't have accentuating female characteristic, and instead must exist to belittle male characters.

[@Brosethorns]

What about Sylvie or black widow or gamora or like half the female characters lol

[@shadowprince4620]

Because much of the drama in GotG was driven by the dynamic between Star-Lord and his dad, Ego, I feel like a lot of that would’ve been lost if they’d had him in his planet form for the entire runtime. Absolutely, show off Ego’s planet form to demonstrate his power (and threat), but sparingly. Plus, I also feel like it’d just create the complaint of “yet another CGI monster”

[@jonathancampbell5231]

I mean, Ego WAS ultimately just another CGI monster in the end, though. Plus, it was James Gunn who wanted to make Ego into Peter's dad in the first place- he could have made them unrelated, or not use Ego at all (or save him for a different movie).

[@rickygforce4217]

@@jonathancampbell5231 Ego was a CGI monster, sure, but the way the CGI was used was actually very thematically cohesive and visually reflected the internal character drama - fleshy, organic production design on the interior of the planet to show his inner insecurities surrounding the fear of sympathy/love/humanity, gross tentacle-power-drains for the parasitic nature of abusive parents feeding their self-indulgence off of their children, and the harsh black growths over the other planets to literally and figuratively represent Ego as a cancer upon everything he touches. It's a lot more idiosyncratic and inspired than we get from the typical MCU film, which usually is content with simply asking "what vibrant clusterf*ck can we create to keep the ADHD-viewers in their seats?"

[@SpaceRider15]

Fun fact about ego in the comics, he has a daughter who is his moon

[@kieroncampion120]

Why don't you do a top 10 non comic book movie villains? Something tells me your list would be interesting.

echantress was in the agents of shield show I believe for one episode

[@armcomics8064]

7:56 yup, you going to like high evolutionary.

[@rsync9490]

I think it's ironic considering that the Loki series was the perfect time to introduce the enchantress over female variant Loki.

[@Azrael__]

She's too 'sensual', zero chance of her being part of the MCU.

Hey what about the sovereign in guardians of the galaxy 2 they weren't the main villain in the movie but they where there are they any different in the comics or did they do them good?

The enchantress _kinda_ shows up in Agents of Shield, so she is not going to show up on the movies AT ALL

The only failings of taserface? His face doesn’t fire tasers and he’s a silent character in the lego game. Also why no mention of the tinkerer from homecoming?

[@hungnguyenquang7247]
