Age of Ultron Least favorite MCU villain?

[Ms. Marvel]

TWS doesn't know what he's doing. He's basically a man trapped inside a gun. I don't acknowledge him as a villain at all, even if others do.

 

[Chance Jackson]

The Winter Soldier shouldn't be up there anymore than Algrim/Kurse should be. TWS is basically just Hydra's Dragon/Slave

Hard choice. I like them all. But I had to go with Loki because it's always annoyed me that his motivation is just that he's the God of Mischief.

Malekith's motivations are weaker than Loki's but he hasn't been as pivotal to the MCU as Loki.

Loki's motivation is to rule

 

[TheVision]

The Winter Soldier might not be a traditional villain due to his brainwashing but hes one of the most deadly, imposing characters so far in the MCU. When he appears in TWS youre like: Nothings gonna stop this dude

 

[TalismanRing]

Whiplash. My main reaction to a villain should not be - take a bath. Eww.


While Winter Soldier is a villain in his brainwashed incarnation he's not the main villain of TWS - that's Pierce (who is also awesome)

 

[Harry Dresden]

They both should have been included. It's kind of like The Emperor and Darth Vader, one is behind the scenes manipulating and the other is the main physical force. They both are still considered main villains of the Star Wars saga.

Same situation here.

 

[Ms. Marvel]

No because TWS is brainwashed.

 

[Guard82]

I choose Malekith because I felt that he wasn't given enough character development. That made him less interesting. I thought Christopher Eccleston did a good job with the material he was given, but it just wasn't enough to make Malekith sufficiently memorable.

 

[Guard82]

My top 5 favorite villain performances in the MCU are:

1) Tom Hiddleston as Loki
2) Ben Kingsley as the public persona of the Mandarin
3) Hugo Weaving as the Red Skull
4)Sebastian Stan as the Winter Soldier while brainwashed
5) Jeff Bridges as the Iron Monger

 

[TheVision]

They really have to make the villains in these movies every bit as interesting as the heroes. We should love the villains actually. Thats what makes the conflicts so fun to watch. Otherwise you just get heroes in the spotlight with the feeling that the baddie is put in the story to be taken out like in a video game.

I'm pretty sure ULTRON will be a villain that we'll love.

 

[Loki882]

Especially if James Spader goes all Blacklist of everyone's asses.

 

[Loki882]

Malekith was the only choice for me. There were a multitude of problems with TDW, but the lack of development of the villain was the biggest one. He had no personality, no compelling motivation and a plan that wasn't a plan at all. Even his back story -- his race existed 5,000 years ago, before there was light(?) -- made no sense at all on any level. Maybe the writers are creationists who think that the universe was created only 4,000 years ago instead of 14 billion years ago because there damn sure was light 5,000 years ago. Also, Malekith destroyed his own world, so why was he pissed with the Asgardians again? That movie's plot was so damned stupid it makes me angry just thinking about it.

I completely disagree with the people who said that the Winter Soldier isn't a villain. He is. Brainwashing might give him an out but he's a remorseless killing machine with a higher body count than anyone other than Loki. Bucky might redeem himself after Steve deprograms him via head trauma in CA3.

Being a "villain" implies that you have at least some level of malevolent intentions. Winter Soldier doesn't. He's essentially a brainwashed drone who does whatever his masters tell him to. He's has no control over his actions. We see that once he starts to remember his past, his first instinct is to save Cap from drowning.

Where's my byird. I want my byird. Give me my byird. Better go cut up an F1 car. Where's my byird. Give me my byird. Why did you steal my byird.

God he was annoying

Mickey ROURKE also wasn't a fan of the character. http://screenrant.com/mickey-rourke-iron-man-2-marvel-movies-benm-139224/

I don't think he said that.

 

[TheVision]

My fav Whiplash lines: "I vant my BORT", "Very goot min" and "Hey min, dont get so attached to tings"

 

[Guts]

Instead of having the same flight system as Tony's armors. He should have put wings on his armor to continue the whole bird thing, also as a way to reference vanko, tony should have gotten a pet bird in iron man 3 or he should've gotten pepper a giant stuffed animal bird instead of a rabbit.

 

[RickCoronel]

Whiplash is still by far the worst villain in the MCU so far.

 

[Human Torch]

My fav Whiplash lines: "I vant my BORT", "Very goot min" and "Hey min, dont get so attached to tings"

"What you want them do?" & "Drone Better"

 

[Ant-manic]

Whiplash is still by far the worst villain in the MCU so far.

how? he was easily more effective than Justin Hammer, in that movie.

 

[Guts]

how? he was easily more effective than Justin Hammer, in that movie.

I thought it was dumb that he set his armor and all of the drones to detonate after he dies and yet he puts a timer on the bombs which gave tony enough time to fly all the way to pepper and get them to a safe distance. why not have them set to detonate immediately after he dies instead of putting it on a timer and giving your enemy enough time to get away, which eliminates the purpose of the bombs.

 

[TheVision]

I didnt see Justin Hammer as a villain in IM 2. An opportunistic schmuck Tony wannabe sure, but he was creating stuff for the military and just wanted to be successful, not like he was trying to take over the world and I highly doubt he was in with HYDRA.

Um, he broke a man out of prison to kill Tony Stark and perfect his drones.

Villain.

Vanko wanted to kill him and was secretly planning behind Hammers back. Hammer had a business to sell weapons to the military. He didnt do anything the whole movie except tell Vanko to make those drones etc. I dont see him as a classic villain in it. He wasnt a "good guy" of course, but he wasnt a total bad guy either.

"We had a deal, I saved your life, you make me suits" - JH to Ivan, then he has his guards watch him. He wasnt in on Ivans plans. Justins motivation was to "take a dump in Tonys front yard" at the Expo.

 

[Human Torch]

Vanko was a great villain that was wasted sitting in a factory half the movie.

 

[souNdwAve89]

I'm sure we'll never know the true answer, but I remember all those articles before the release of TDW on how Alan Taylor and Marvel had some conflict with one another. I think Taylor wanted to give more background on Malekith and the Dark Elves, but was told to cut out some footage.

As for the thread, I'm tied between Malekith and Whiplash. I personally think Marvel needs to step it up in the villain category.

 

[Loki882]

Whiplash was a really good villain, up until Hammer busted him out of prison. He was menacing, he was smart, he had an understandable motivation, he had a fairly unique plan for a superhero movie, and one that was actually working for a large portion of the movie, and he had a cool opening action scene. Oh and Mickey Rourke gave a really good performance. And then they wasted all of that by sticking him in a factory for most of the second half, where he barely got any screentime. Instead, we spend way too much time with Justin Hammer the annoying doofus. And then Vanko just decides to try and outright kill Tony, which went completely against his plan from earlier on in the movie. And there's no real explanation as to why he changed his mind so completely? Also, that ending fight was lame.
