10 Things Marvel Fans Don't Want To Accept About The MCU

10. There Are Too Many Faceless, Easily Defeated Villains

It's commonplace in comic books and video games for heroes like the ones who inhabit the Marvel Cinematic Universe to smash their way through faceless enemies, but that doesn't work quite as well in a live-action setting.

Joss Whedon is guilty of introducing this idea after both the Chitauri and Ultron's robot army squared off with the Avengers (the former all randomly "powered down" after Iron Man closed the wormhole above New York City, a conveniently and dumb storytelling decision). Avengers: Endgame's final battle was a sight to behold, but again, they're just fighting hordes of CGI, easy to defeat baddies.

Thor: The Dark World diminished the impact of the Dark Elves by following this pattern, while Iron Man 3's Extremis-enhanced soldiers had even less personality than the empty armours Tony Stark was remote piloting.

With stronger lead villains, there wouldn't be so much of a need for these copy and paste baddies, and fans need to look beyond the massive CGI battles and demand a higher quality level of storytelling.
