User blog:Lover of the Muse/Why people think Marvel villains suck?

A recurring criticism of the Marvel Movies is that the villains suck. I don't believe this is true but I have a theory as to why so people do.

Most villains will be defeated permenantly in the movie that introduces them; the heroes meanwhile get to come back again and again: in sequals, crossover films, and in post credit scenes. Combine this with the fact that the Marve Cinematic Universe has been going on for eight years and it's inevitable that a lot of villains will feel forgetable.

Loki is an obvious exception to this rule and guess what he's the villain that a lot of people love the most. In fact I've heard him be singled out as an exception to the "no good villains" rule. To be fair there are other reasons we love Loki: he's extremely quotable, his motivations are simple and easy to relate to, his bantar and quips feel like a natural part of his character (this isnt' as easy as it sounds). I will argue however that the reason we got to know and love Loki so well is that he was a recurring character.
