Best villain this year(so far)?

[The Endless]

Surprised Francis/Ajax got that much love. If people complain about MCU villains, I don't see how he did anything really spectacular.

Ajax was refreshing in a way. He was just evil and sadistic. No world ending plans or delusions of grandeur. He was just pissed off with Wade calling him Francis. I think the hatred between him and Deadpool was believable plus they had some great dialogue and fight scenes.

But he's more of a "dragon" or right hand man, rather than main villain. There should've been a reveal at the end showing it was a weapon x offshoot or something.

Ajax is a bit under rated for me. For many of the reasons you listed.

They were all underwhelming to me.

Agreed. I think he welcome change from typical main villain.

The one thing Deadpool didn't need was a flamboyant villain. Ajax was a perfectly decent straight man.

 

[Flint Marko]

Ajax is several pegs above Lex and Apocalyspe, no debate. I'm not familiar with that actor but he took a boring, half-baked role and turned it into something memorable.

I actually thought Ajax was kind of....charming, in an weird, kind of way, he's not memorable but the dialogue between him and Wade was really good.

He was the first actor that played Daario Naharis in Game of Thrones, which is a bit funny since there he went the opposite route as he took a flamboyant character and made it very plain (although it was really a show-runner choice since the actor that followed is just as plain).

 

[The Endless]

I liked how the whole "what's my name?" running gag. Had a great pay off at the end.

It sums up my love of Deadpool. It's small scale and personal. It's about 2 guys who hate each other... That's it. No contrived end of the world scenario. More films need to start scaling it down. Suicide Squad should've taken a cue from Deadpool.

 

[Doctor Octopus]

lol agreed. I love Deadpool spelling out his name with dead bodies.

 

[Bats123]

i loved how he was about shoot him and then Colossus intervenes and Ajax just goes "ugh...."

 

[Doctor Octopus]

Lol that was great. I love when Wade laugh that Ajax named after cleaning product.

Serviceable at least to me.

My point was the whole MCU Villain thing.

 

[Iron Fist]

Zemo and it's not even close.

 

[Lantern Venom]

If you want to see good villains, watch Luke Cage. The show is full of them.

 

[Lantern Venom]

After seeing X:A, my top 3 for 2016 (excluding TV) are:

1. Apocalypse
2. Enchantress
3. Crossbones

 

[The Overlord]

Now that Dr. Strange has been released, does that change your rankings of this year's villains?

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Now that Dr. Strange has been released, does that change your rankings of this year's villains?

Not mine, Kaicilius was another poor villain for me.

 

[Doctor Octopus]

I still vote Apocalypse for best.

 

[Mjölnir]

Now that Dr. Strange has been released, does that change your rankings of this year's villains?

It doesn't change who wins for me (Zemo) but he does come in second place. Not that he was particularly stand out but Francis didn't really have much to him, and the rest were just really bad.

 

[All-Father]

Zemo, easily. Luthor was so crappy he shouldn't even be an option.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I still vote Apocalypse for best.

Same for me

 

[Timebomb]

I still think Zemo is the best of the year.

 

[Doctor Octopus]

Zemo my second favourite.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

I still think Zemo is the best of the year.

Yep. Still Zemo.
