10 MCU Complaints That Make No Damn Sense

10. They've Never Done A Good Villain (Bar Loki)

The Argument

Loki is the only villain Marvel have managed to get right, and it's mostly only because Tom Hiddleston is so excellent that he's elevated the material. Everyone else has been either horribly formulaic or just not up to the billing.

The Rebuttal

Even before Loki became great (in The Avengers, not Thor), he had competition. Jeff Bridges as Obadiah Stane was the perfect counter-point to Tony Stark (representing not only a titan on his own but also being the embodied shadow of Stark's own past coming back to haunt him).

Red Skull was also great (and arguably is still the best Cap trilogy villain), The Winter Soldier and Zemo were also very good and Ronan The Destroyer had his moments in Guardians Of The Galaxy. And while he was undoubtedly divisive, James Spader's Frankenstein's monster Ultron was endlessly entertaining.

Sure, there have been low points (Abomination was poorly handled; Yellow Jacket, Whiplash, and Malekith were bland; the Mandarin was a kick in the gut), but to say Loki is the only one is plainly ludicrous.
