hey man
don't get too attached to things
i'm going to let go
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
worst mcu villains the time has come to
rejoice
and renounce your poultry gods for this
list we'll be looking at the most
disappointing or underwhelming
antagonists in the mcu's movies and tv
shows we won't be including any
anti-heroes only straight up bad guys
which mcu villain disappointed you the
most voice your dissatisfaction in the
comments below
number 10 antonia dracov taskmaster
black widow although drakov was an
underwhelming mustache twirling baddie
his daughter antonia got the shorter end
of the stick you find it difficult to
look at
i do
she was revealed as the taskmaster in a
hard to believe twist despite fitting
the plot the character is nothing like
the awesome villains seen in comics
games and tv shows while the character
keeps her cool ability to basically copy
anyone's fighting style her
characterization is incredibly shallow
taskmaster is known and beloved for
being a ruthless and sometimes chatty
mercenary i've studied all of hydra's
manuals of the iron man armor
with this suit and my skills i won't
have to work for jerks like the skull
anymore but antonia barely speaks and is
made into a glorified henchwoman with no
agency while her future as a villain is
extremely questionable we know her first
appearance was lackluster for many fans
i'm sorry

number nine carly morgenthau the falcon
and the winter soldier i'm not your
enemy
i agree with your fight
i just can't give it the way you're
fighting at first carly's beliefs are
admirable as the leader of the anarchist
group the flag smashers she wanted to
maintain the world's increased freedom
to travel and share resources after the
thanos snap but her actions make her
really unlikable although sam actually
sees the merit of her cause carly
consistently pushes back against him
you're not hiding behind a shield
if i were to kill you it'd be
meaningless
working together would have hugely
benefited them both instead carly and
her people constantly fight sam and his
allies seeing her fatally wound the
well-intentioned lamar in a battle was
bad enough but her most disgraceful act
comes when she blows up a supply depot
that had innocent people inside after
stealing what she needed despite having
compelling motivations carly's actions
are consistently irksome and despicable
there's still people in there
this is the only language these people
understand number eight emile blonsky
the abomination the incredible hulk
give me a real fight unfortunately one
of the most forgettable elements of the
incredible hulk film was its big bad in
an attempt to finally bring bruce banner
in thaddeus ross hires emil blonsky
audiences are told this man is known for
his tremendous track record with the
british royal marines but the movie
never does much to flesh out blonsky
beyond his desires to fight and take
down the hulk the mixture could be
an abomination
when he gets a taste of the green guy's
power and becomes abomination it leads
to an underwhelming final conflict not
only do they have similar power sets but
they're essentially fighting for
bragging rights instead of something
important shang chi made clear that
there are plans for blansky's
abomination in the mcu we hope he's
handled better in the future
maybe you'll start controlling those
punches like we practice
number seven the hand
various
guys
since the daredevil and kingpin have
appeared in more mainline mcu outings
it's not a stretch to assume the
villainous hand organization is canon 2.
the group was built up as a group of
tremendous warriors but while a few
could put up a decent fight most of the
group consisted of generic soldiers the
heroes had zero problem with they
reached a new low when they were the
main villains of the defenders hand
leader alexandra aims to use the
organization's forces to grab a
life-extending substance if you knew me
at all
you'd know
i always win but after she was slain by
her newest recruit the evil group failed
miserably and was severely weakened
despite having a notorious reputation
this notoriously evil group turned out
to be a lackluster organization our
brothers
while clumsy in delivery speak the truth
number six ivan vonko whiplash iron man
2.
my father is the reason you're alive
using them alive is because you had a
shot you took it you missed
be right
one of iron man 2's main faults was the
one-dimensional villain known as ivan
vanko aka whiplash since anton
vancouver's life spiraled into poverty
and darkness after howard stark wronged
him ivan wanted to get revenge for his
father by ruining tony while the unique
and layered motivation is great whiplash
is incredibly shallow it's seriously
hard to tell if he wants anything more
out of life than to hang out with his
bird and kill tony i'll get you burning
each den birds i want my birth well okay
nothing's impossible i could
are we talking about is this a bird back
in russia actor mickey rourke claimed
several times that his character was
more complex however he allegedly became
nothing more than a physical obstacle
for tony to overcome behind the scenes
that claim would certainly explain why
whiplash didn't have much to offer
outside of action sequences all i have
to do is sit here and watch
as the world will consume you
where will we be watching the world
consume me from that's right
a prison cell i'll send you bar soap
number five ronan the accuser guardians
of the galaxy
guardians of the galaxy is filled with
witty dialogue and engaging characters
but its villain sticks out as a boring
and overly serious inclusion the only
matter i do not take seriously boy
is you
your politics bore me
your demeanor is that of a pouty child
after ronan grew up knowing cree family
members and allies died fighting the
nova empire a peace treaty was signed
between the two sides but the
unsatisfied villain became obsessed with
destroying his former enemies our
government signed a peace treaty
my government knows no shame most the
time he's on screen he's just an angry
and shouty mess a bloodthirsty cree out
to spread carnage because that's how
things have been done didn't make for an
interesting character or villain the
role gave the normally wonderful lee
pace nothing to work with unfortunately
ronan was just as boring and more
ineffective when he appeared in captain
marvel
that's impossible
c-53 doesn't have a defense system
advanced enough to destroy our warheads
that's not their defense system ronan
number 4. darren cross yellow jacket
ant-man what's the matter you're not
impressed oh i'm impressed i'm also
concerned imagine what our enemies could
do with this tech
we should have a longer conversation
about that frank i really value your
opinion
businessman darren cross wanted to
become rich and powerful by replicating
his former mentor shrinking technology
he becomes willing to commit
increasingly heinous acts to win while
it's implied that darren's work with pym
particles may have corrupted him his
lack of screen time really hurts him
darren
what are you doing he wasn't any more
capable of caring for you than he was
for me this is not who you are it's the
particles altering your brain chemistry
since the movie spends most of its
runtime on scott hank and hope the
villain and his possible mental
struggles feel like an afterthought it
doesn't help that making a corrupt
businessman the big bad is a generic and
boring action movie choice and worst of
all cross wanted to sell shrinking tech
to hydra right after they nearly slayed
countless innocents by the time we
reached the final showdown we weren't
invested in this businessman did you
think you could stop the future with a
heist it was never just a heist
number three john rogg captain marvel
anger only serves the enemy
while carol believes yonrog to be an
ally for a large chunk of the movie his
true colors eventually come out and they
are dull by the end of the movie we
learned that yon rock killed carol's
mentor took the future avenger into
space and hid the origins of her powers
you lied to me i made you
the best version of yourself
what's given
can be taken away that sounds like yan
raog is pretty wicked and devious on his
own unfortunately he only committed all
these evil acts to serve the cree's
supreme intelligence we never get hints
at his backstory or why he's so
desperate to please his boss and when
the climax comes he's far too weak to
make the slightest difference against
carol this non-threatening and flat
character also committed the crime of
severely wasting jude law's talents i
can't get back empty-handed you won't be
empty-handed
i'm sending you with a message
tell the supreme intelligence that i'm
coming to end it the war
the lies
all of it
you can't do this number two aldrich
killian iron man three
because the second you give evil a face
i've bin laden
gaddafi a mandarin you hand the people
to target you're something else on paper
a plan to prop up a fake threat as a
distraction so that you can further your
illegal dealings is a pretty smart one
in execution it ticked off nearly every
marvel fan killian helped develop an
experimental process that could give
people powers when certain subjects
exploded he made an actor named trevor
betray a villain named mandarin and say
it was an attack don't hurt the face i'm
an actor
you got a minute to live fill it with
words
just a role
the mandarin see it's not real having
killian turn a legendary comic
antagonist into a fall guy was
disappointing to many mandarin aside
killian's random list of motivations
included everything from kidnapping the
president to becoming powerful to
getting revenge on tony the
businessman's messy objectives and greed
made him feel like a cliched villain
appropriately killian's death scene is
treated as a joke
you're looking right at him
who's always me tony right from the
start i am the mandarin

number one
malekith thor the dark world your
universe was never meant to be
your world and your family will be
extinguished the dark world is widely
considered to be one of the worst mcu
efforts to date the generic antagonist
is so boring that we wouldn't blame
anyone for forgetting his name as the
dark elf leader malekith essentially
wanted to cover everything in darkness
he even sacrificed his own people to
keep his vague dream alive but after
waking up from a long nap he doesn't
display any of that menace who are you
i am malikith
and i would have what is mine he's dull
and barely shows any emotion although
malachis supposed to be an intimidating
character he mostly makes his goons do
his dirty work actor christopher
eccleston has spoken very candidly about
how much he hated his experience when a
villain is written this blindly we can't
say we blame him at all you think you
can stop
this the ether cannot be destroyed
but you can
do you agree with our picks check out
