Do these villains ever get a decent death?

THIS THREAD IS ABOUT THE MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE

Not really deaths, but defeats.

Obadiah Stane: Is dumb enough to take out his helmet, exposing himself to electricity
Abomination: Is defeated by the hulk (this one wasn't actually bad)
Whiplash: Blows himself up (offscreen)
Hammer: Comic relief that says he'll get his revenge, while being taken by the police never to be seen again
Loki: Falls in the 9 realms (this one wasn't bad either)
Red Skull: Grabs a cube and disappears
Loki (In Avengers): When he's complaining Hulk grabs him and beats him up, wakes up with the Avengers posing in front of him
Killian: Is beat by Pepper in a way he survive previously, we never see him again, Tony blows everything up and every wikia says he's dead

So, in 7 films we had like what? 2 Badass villain defeats? 3 villains were Basically defeated in comic relief.

"You lose." <---- That was badass. :funny:
 
Clearly Toad in X1 had the best death scene ever. I mean, after that amazing line...
 
For this to be clear, i'm talking about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not the other Marvel movies
 
Whatever floats your boat, though there's slim pickings at the moment for a discussion.

I choose the MCU just because of that, the other Marvel universe movies are in a way more serious and most of the times the villains have a memorable defeat, while with the MCU it seems like the focus went more into comedy.
 
Stane was inferior to Stark, didn't foresee the design flaw and his arrogance led to his vulnerability. Not a great death, but not "horrible."

Abomination never actually died, but his defeat was well done.
Whiplash's death was a joke, like the character as a whole.

Hammer was comic relief and should be disposed of as such.

Red Skull desired that power from the Tesseract and wouldn't let it go. His lust for power did him in. Not bad.

Loki's defeat by Thor wasn't bad. But yes, his defeat in Avengers was anti-climactic, just like the Chitauri.

Killian's death disappointed me the most. Pepper defeated him? Seriously? This man was supposed to be the Mandarin, arguably Iron Man's greatest nemesis, and he was defeated by a Super Secretary? Wrong.
 
Loki's defeat in Avengers wasnt anti-climactic at all. It just showed that Loki really isn't a villain, his a jealous child throwing a tantrum.

Yeah that doesn't sit well with me. At all.

I disagree with Whiplash and Loki (in Thor). Whiplash was hellbent on taking out Stark, even at the cost of his own life. He didn't blow himself up by accident. And in Thor, Loki willingly let himself fall into the portal. He wasn't really defeated, his plan just failed. I think he figured that if he fell into the portal, he'd turn up fine in some other realm...which he did.

Add Bane to that list. Just unceremoniously blasted away by Catwoman with a quip line.

That was such a WTF moment. Seriously the brilliant mind Christopher Nolan couldn't come up with a better way to show Bane's defeat?
 
Killian's defeat was anti-climatic. I had no problem with the others.
 
Suddenly, The Dark Knight Rises becomes part of the MCU.
 
It's already happened.

I found Killian's defeat annoyed me. The others were just fine.
 
Well Bane's death was rather bad...

Actually, I'm surprised they just kind of forgot about the Abomination. Will anyone remember him in-universe? Seems like he could make for a cool minion.
