“You complete me,” said the Joker to Batman in one of the most memorable moments of Warner Bros’ 2008 classic, The Dark Knight. The clown might have been a homicidal maniac, but he was on to something. Superheroes need great villains and so do superhero movies. And yet, the most commercially successful superhero film franchise, Marvel’s Cinematic Universe (MCU), has often found success in spite of its rogues gallery rather than because of it. The legal split that kept some of Marvel’s top comic properties out of the MCU also kept some of its most recognizable and diabolical villains from squaring off against the Avengers, Guardians and other interested parties, and promoted a few backbenchers into the spotlight.


Sure, there’s Thanos, the intergalactic big-bad with the wrinkly chin, unfathomable motives and expensive taste in jewelry. He’s certainly menacing enough, and has figured in Marvel’s epic cosmology for decades. Killmonger was a great one-off and Hugo Weaving’s Red Skull was creepy and evil, though not especially formidable. Then what? Whiplash? The Mandarin? Obediah Stain? Ultron the smarmy AI? Let’s get real: if it weren’t for Tom Hiddleston’s endlessly fascinating performance as Loki – who is not nearly so complicated in the comics most of the time – the franchise would seem awfully one-sided.

Now that Disney has reached an agreement on the acquisition of 21st Century Fox pending regulatory approvals, that is likely to change. Sure, fans have been slavering over the possibility of Marvel doing new and improved takes on Fantastic Four and the X-Men, but just imagine the infusion of menace provided by

Thought this was about Axel Alonso and Queseda writing scripts.

But then again, maybe I'm too snarky.

Offensive to imply Doctor Doom is Top 5 in Marvel (as a villain) ..

Because hes easily the best villain in the Marvel and IF he spits fire on the mic in MCU like he does in the comics/TV shows?

DC need to get Darkseid on the phone ASAP

 

[Take It In Blood]

Doom will be the end game

we won't see him in action for a while, probably a decade plus

Sh1t, we now have Magneto and Apocalypse in the MCU, we gotta get through them first

he'll probably make cameos in films before that tho

on the bright side, We'll probably see Darksied fighting Superman in live action before we see Doom throwing hands

Which should keep us fed for a while, as long as DC doesn't fuk it up and decide tor reboot the entire universe again

"A villain in your land, in his land a ruler"

My methods are a means to an end, no different than pruning weeds in order to let an orchid flourish. Those who stand in the way of my vision oppose me because they fear me, but more than that they fear what I represent. Change. Do you know what I despise Richards? And T'Challa? Because never one have they reined in their own self-righteous arrogance long enough to try and see what Isee. Never once have they asked me: why? Do you want to know? Love. Measure my crimes against what mankind does to itself, and I am a saint....I have looked into the future, I have seen how one violent action after another spins the world toward a future where all that remains of Earth is a burned out cinder. Every time I have looked into the future, that is what I have seen. Every time but one. In one possible future mankind becomes united. Cures for all diseases are found. Global conflict ends. Hunger is abolished. Education is universal. And no one goes without. In that world, there are laws. To break even the slightest of these is to suffer immediate and terminal punishment. ...Ten thousand futures have I looked at. A hundred thousand. And in only one does mankind finally unite, and flourish...and survive. Only one. Doomworld

I'm thinking this explosion of characters and movies will be the end of the superhero genre

I'm tired of it and I've only seen like 45% of the movies/TV shows in the MCU

They gotta be dropping three movies a year
