Most under rated MCU villain

[random_havoc]

Iron Monger. I thought he was great

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Well, I called which characters would win the thread, at least so far

Tim Roth as Blonsky is easily the best thing about TIH.

Tim Roth as Blonsky is easily the best thing about TIH.

I kind of enjoyed Tim Roth's super-serum-ed fight against the Hulk (nice tease for Captain America's powers at the time)-- and I love Roth in general, but--

C'mon, it's weird casting. Roth is English, so they have to bend over backwards to explain that he's some kind of mercenary? Plus he retains the Russian name, even though the movie drops his heritage/cold-war background entirely.

And the design of Abomination was pure ass. It's completely baffling that they couldn't find a way to adapt him into the more reptilian version from the comics. it's like 'oh yeah this is a movie where men spontaneously transform into 9-foot tall green murdermonsters, but somehow their pants stay on! Just don't give one of them webbed ears and scales! That would be too weird!'

They say he was born in Russia.

 

[Chance Jackson]

Definitely Ultron

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

They say he was born in Russia.

That’s true, it’s in his first scene.

I agree on Abom’s design though, no reason it couldn’t have been much closer to comics.

Iron Monger. I thought he was great

Iron Monger is often still listen among the upper tier when it comes to the MCU villains. He's better than most of the Phase 2 villains and arguably reigns as the best villain in an Iron Man solo film. I wouldn't consider him underrated at all.

Why is Vanko so high on this list, if I may ask? I just can't see it or comprehend it.

I'll try to explain, but generally me arguing this is a lost cause. Frankly I love him.

So in my opinion Malekith, Yellowjacket, and Ronan are all sort of clones of Red Skull. And potentially Iron Monger. Powerful man acquires more power (usually an infinity stone) and uses it to seek general "domination." (granted they kinda split that in IM2 between Vanko and Hammer but it's still unique).

Vanko was Leonidas at the end of 300. He just wanted to make the godking bleed. Vanko was the underdog throughout, other than Blonsky and Zemo very few marvel movie villains were the underdog.

I love the personality. I love how Rourke played him. I love his tattoos. I love a good amount of his lines, right down to, "You lose, Stark." I truly do also believe he's underutilized. And his final costume was a bit boring.

 

[TheVileOne]

I picked Ronan

 

[The_Manhunter]

Ultron is my favorite on this list, but I voted for Malekith. People say he's unanimously the worst, but I disagree. Killian for starters is below him in my eyes.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I picked Ronan

 

[Ragnaroknroll]

Gonna go with Kurse. I think he's overlooked because he was pretty much a side kick to what seems to me to be the most hated villain in the MCU. He didn't have a lot of lines in the film but I found him genuinely scary when I saw TDW. I was blown away by how he pretty much just straight up brutalized Thor. Thor's never been owned like that.

Also loved his transformation and thought his whole quasi predator look was an extremely well realized version of his comic book counterpart (which as much as I love Simonson - always thought Kurse looked a little cheesy). His exchange with Loki in Asgard's dungeon was priceless.

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

I picked Ronan

Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing him fleshed out some more in Captain Marvel.

I did like Kurse, pretty much for the reasons you stated. And, I stated this in the Kurse Vs Hela thread, not even Hela beat the crap out of Thor like Kurse did.

Yeah good point. One could argue that this more mature Thor had more fully realized his power but even up to the Immigrant Song scene where he finally unleashes it, he was holding his own against Hela. Of course she was playing with him a bit - where Kurse is just like I'm gonna beat the living tar out of you LOL.

Yeah you make some good points about Hela, but what Kurse did often gets overlooked.
