Daily News for Marvel Movie

Summary

• MCU villains often go unnoticed, but they have some standout scenes that steal the show, like Justin Hammer's dance and Hela shattering Mjolnir.
• The Vulture's confrontation with Spider-Man challenges the black-and-white morality of the MCU, while Ebony Maw's torture of Doctor Strange is chilling.
• Ultron's self-awareness and Gorr the God-Butcher scaring kids highlight the depth and complexity of these underrated villains.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is host to a wide variety of iconic villains, the less-noticed of which have some excellent scenes that get lost in the noise. From the sympathetic and mischievous Loki to the imposing and threatening Thanos, MCU villains run the gamut from weak to powerful, comedic to terrifying, and classic to forgettable. With so many antagonists having come and gone since the beginning of the MCU with 2008's Iron Man, it can be hard to keep track of them all.
Though most of the heroes introduced in the film universe are memorable characters enjoyed by audiences, the MCU movies have an infamous villain problem. It's easy to write off many of the threats that have reared their heads throughout the series as just another forgettable villain, unless they're a widely-loved staple like Thanos or Loki. But within this subset of forgotten villains, the MCU hides some of its most memorable, unique, or downright hilarious scenes, with some of the franchise's most underrated evildoers absolutely stealing the show.
