Maybe what i am about to say in this article will make you think that i live sadly thinking that these movies are very bad and everything is awful but i think they are very fun. Maybe i even like them to much, i visit this web page everyday. This is just a quick reminder of how much i enjoy watching these movies, so everytime you think i am complaining too much, remember that i love this movies. They are made to entretain us, and that's what they do.
In two days, it will be a month since Thor: The Dark World premiere. The movie was good but it made me meditate about Marvel Studios villains. What's the problem? I personally think that they are not good enough for films. I really really like Marvel movies but maybe the villains could be better. When you leave the theatre you forget about them, especially if you are not a comic book fan. Like for example Malekith, Aldrich Killian, Obadiah Stane... You think about Marvel villains and no ne of those run into your mind.
Imagine if you travelled to the 70's or 80's and you told a kid: Do you know that in the future there will be lots of Marvel movies and there will be a studio called "Marvel Studios" that will make amazing superhero movies? The kid wouldn't think that the villains would be those who are being used right now, would he? Because they are nobody's favourites. That's what i mean, you would never chose them for movies. Nobody likes them. Lets be honest, you didn't care if Obadiah's armour was changed did you? You didn't care if Malekith's costume was changed either, right? You didn't care if Justin Hammer was young. That is what i mean.
Lets go one by one. Maybe what i am about to say will make you think that i live sadly thinking that these movies are very bad and everything is awful but i think they are very fun. Maybe i even like them to much, i visit this web page everyday. This is just a quick reminder of how much i enjoy watching these movies, so everytime you think i am complaining too much, remember that i love this movies. Plus, i don't like complaining about the things i like. They are made to entretain us, and that's what they do.
- Obadiah Stane: He was cool because he was a giant robot but nobody even remembers him (Except Marvel movies geeks like us). If you search for him in google images, the same image of Iron Monger will appear. there is only one.
- General Ross: This one is good because you would choose him but i don't know if he is considered a villain. Anyways he was portrayed good in the The Incredible Hulk film.
- Abomination: Good.
- Whiplash: He doesn't even really exist in the comics. He is like a mix of the first Crimson Dynamo and a guy called Black Lash that is one of those characters that nobody remembers from the old stories. He's a made up character.
- Justin Hammer: Nobody Remembers him.
- Red Skull: Good one.
- Arnim Zola: Nobody cares about him. He is actually a very cool villain in the comics but in the movie he was just this small scientist that was Red Skull's b*tch.
- Loki: Good
- Destroyer: Meh.
- Frost Giants: Meh. Although he they are crucial to Thor's story so i don't know what to say.
- Chitauri: No. It's not that i didn't enjoy the film or the final battle but no, i wouldn't pick them. I would have chosen the Kree, that could lead to other things like the Skrulls, MAr-Vell, Miss Marvel...
- Extremis and Aim: They messed up Aim and nobody would chose Extremis for a Marvel superhero movie.
- "Mandarin": He would have been awesome but he got screwed. He could have been the biggest terrorist of all. The one who leads the Ten Rings, the one who made Iron Man possible. He could have created the biggest army of the whole world, stealing all the nukes and being a threat to the whole world. Destroying Iron Man's house, his girlfrend, his armours, basically his entire life. But they messed him up with Aldrich Killian, a guy who nobody knows and only appears in one page of the whole Marvel Comicbook History and is not even a villain.
- Malekith: Nobody cares about him.
- Algrim the strong or Kurse: He was cool in the movie but nobody cares about him either.
Now lets go to the upcoming villains (Considering they won't be messed up like the Mandarin).
- Winter Solider: Not an actual villain.
- Alexander Pierce: Not a villain in the comics, nobody knows him and he just appears as a very secondary shield agent in an old storyline i think (That does not even involve Captain America). I wish i could highlight more "nobody knows him". He is one of those characters that appear sometimes in the comics like a very secondary character in some stories. I can't even name another character more less known. I mean, he is not even a secondary character, he more like an extra in the comics. He is an EXTRA, that's the closest word. I hope he turns out to be the red skull hiding with that name but i guess he will not.
- Crossbones: Good.
- SHIELD???: As you can see, in the trailer it clearly shows Steve Rogers fighting shield agents.
- Ronan the accusser: Good. Classic.
- Nebula, Korath, Yondu, Controller...: They are lesser known characters but the thing is, they are in a movie of lesser known superheroes so it's normal. Anyways, they look awesome.
- Ultron: Awesome.
Now with the most probable villains that will appear in other movies (Considering they won't be messed up like the Mandarin).
- Thanos: Yes.
- Dormammu: Yes.
- Baron Mordo: Yes.
- Klaw: Yes.
- Man-Ape: Yes.
Actually, if you look back to the Iron Man films, you can't find any good villain. A loved villain by the fans. That kid from the past would say: I guess that Iron Man will face villains like MODOK, Crimson Dynamo, Titanium Man, Aim, Mandarin... Probaly Iron man is the one that has the worst villains. Only if Captain America could fight a better Arnim Zola and some more classic villains like Hydr again or Baron Zemo. And more Red Skull.
Another problem is that FOX and Sony own some very cool villains like Apocalypse, Venom, Norman Osborn, Magneto, Galactus, Annihilatios, Terrax and the most important of all: Doctor Doom.
