1. Lackluster Villains

The MCU has given us some great villains, such as Thanos and Loki, but most of the villains in the MCU are a letdown. From Ronan the Accuser in Guardians of the Galaxy to Malekith in Thor: The Dark World, many of them lack compelling backstories or motivations. They mostly act as obstacles for heroes rather than nuanced characters. This pattern has been raising concerns about Marvel's "villain problem," where the focus is disproportionately on heroes. Where the trend was bucked by Killmonger from Black Panther, many fans are still cheated out of what could have been richer storytelling coming from the bad guys.
