    One of the best villains? I hope you're talking about Klaw, who was wasted in BP. Because Killmonger was pedestrian by MCU standards and as a character, boring, cliched and one-dimensional. The guy doesn't even crack the top ten.

    MCU Villains

    Here are some off the top of my head that I think were better than Killmonger:

    Thanos
    Red Skull
    Winter Soldier
    Abomination
    Iron Monger
    Loki
    Hela
    Vulture
    Kaecilius
    Ultron

    Personally for me the ranking is as follows:

    The Elite
    1. Captain America - The Winter Solder
    2. Avengers - Infinity War
    3. Guardians of the Galaxy
    4. Avengers
    5. Captain America - Civil War
    ________________________________

    Outstanding but not quite Elite
    6. Captain America
    7. Thor - Ragnorak
    8. Dr Strange
    9. Black Panther
    10. Iron Man
    11. Thor
    12. Avengers - Age of Utron
    13. Iron Man 3
    ________________________________

    Enjoyable but not great
    14. Aunt Man
    15. Auntman and Wasp
    16. Guardians of the Galaxy 2
    17. Iron Man 2
    18. Spider Man - The Homecoming

    __________________________________

    OK but nothing to brag about
    19. Thor - Dark World

    I would not pay to see the sequel. Certainly the worst of all Avenger movies

    Saw Captain Marvel last night. My initial reaction was to say that I enjoyed it, but, refldcting back on it, there was just too much stupid stuff in it.
    4.5 / 10
    The was a *slight* element of femenism, but not much, really. It sucked for a multitude of other reasons: large plot holes, small plot holes, inconsistencies, stupid elements that were completely unnecessary, occasionally bad acting, missing story elements, slow pacing in times, rushed pacing in other times, sometimes the music didn't fit the scene, some elements just didn't make sense, and, again, too many items that were just too stupid.

    I might've seen this somewhere.

    Is this about a teenager who gets bit by his hot radioactive aunt, who also happens to be a teacher?

    You know what is just as lame as people saying you are racist for not liking a movie with black actors. Being the person that points out on a message board.

    So clever and unique in your observations.

    You left our the Hulk movie.

    I would put Thor Ragnarok in the top tier. It gets constant playtime at my house - great villains, it’s well done, amazing action and outstanding comedy.

    I think this thread helped me lower my expectations so much that I actually enjoyed the movie

    I meant the movies with all the characters in tow, where the biggest story lines play out i.e. the Avengers movies (including civil war) kind of deserve their own list. If anyone cares to actually read what I'm saying, I also don't think Black Panther is the best MCU movie but no two lists would be the same. Including box office success, there's probably also some recency bias with BP. A little too much negativity in here about some superhero movies, that's for sure.



    I also didn't call anyone racist, let that settle in for a second with ya guilty ass consciences.

    No, saw it on Netflix. As far as villains in the MCU, Killmonger ranks as one of the tops for me too.

    LOL. Im pretty sure, each person that can relate to that post, has been ridiculed as somewhat of a racist for saying a movie sucked or had an opinion of differing views.

    If the tesseract went down with Capt America in 1945 ... How did it wind up in the 1980s with Capt Marvel?

    SPOILER






    Howard Stark found it under water around the same time they found Cap. It stayed with Shield at that point where it went on to be used by Mar-Vel and then stolen by Loki later on via Janes mentor in Thor

    Yeah - at the end of the first Captain America movie, Howard Stark used a submarine to collect the tesseract from the ocean floor.

    iirc, it wasn't lost very long before Stark found it, Cap was much later.

    Perhaps online where people are nuts. In real life I have never heard someone say something dumb like that.

    Well, yeah that's where most people post reviews. Just as someone called someone else racist for not liking it, online, is equal to you saying someone pointed the same fact out on a message board. Are you calling yourself a nut?

    Villains make movies. That’s why Nolan’s Batman trilogy was top shelf. Killmonger was great, genuinely a threat and sociopathic. MBJordan is always the good guy too so it was a cool heel turn. Thanos is unreal, I don’t recall ever seeing a movie where the bad guy wins. I remember coming home and being blown away for hours after infinity war.

    I'm not sure. I am definitely a little nuts though. Between school, work, an 8 year old that I'm the custodial parent of, and his mother crazy is just right around the corner.
