Thanos is going to be remembered by zoomers as their Darth Vader.

Joker is the only one. There isn’t a single other DC villain as iconic as he is.

Lex is up there.

That's it though. Maybe you could make an argument for Catwoman.

is venom actually a proper villain?
i thought he was just abit of anti hero

Iconic ≠ popularity
None of these come close to The Joker.
Thanos was a literal who before the MCU.

Not even lex. He has a similar prominence in DC stories, but bald man isn't as instantly recognizable as clown gangster.

Nah, Endgame hype is already pretty much dead.

Doom and Green Goblin?

People still talked about old Star Wars after a month.

They have plenty more, it’s just all of them don’t get the single push that Joker always gets. Doom, Magneto, Apocalypse, Galactus, Thanos are all pretty iconic, just jut as popular as Joker.

Because DC doesn't really push any other villain as much as Joker. Says more about DC than anything else, really.

They could have made it great if they didn't try to cram two hundred references into one movie and actually focused on a coherent story.

I can’t escape Endgame crap so I dunno where you go

I'd say Catwoman is more iconic than Lex

>Doom, Magneto, Apocalypse, Galactus, Thanos are all pretty iconic, just jut as popular as Joker.
Marlel delusion.

Their heroes are their iconic villains

No shit, Joker is literally the most iconic supervillain of all time.

I think Joker and Spiderman has the same problem. Both are two of the most iconic characters of all time but have the worst good/bad comic ratio.
Most people can't write the joker for shit

Joker is fucking overrated as a villain. Hell, he isn't even Batman's best villain.

But they do.

Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Venom, Magneto, Galactus, and Red Skull are all pretty iconic.

Okay, clearly you are working off of a specific and non-obvious definition of iconic.

Please define your terms so we know what it is you actually want.

It's pure marketing.
Marvel doesn't seem to want to push a villain in a similar fashion.

Magneto.

Oh wait, he's not a villain, he's just right.

Don't you know DOCTOR DOOOOOOOoooOOOOooOOOOOOooooOOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOOOM, bro?

Best written character ever! He is, like, the best at everything, so awesome that he can torture a child and the parents of the child will trust him to raise their other kid, so amazing that he found godhood BENEATH HIM!!11!

DOOM literally becomes omnipotent every year, so awesome he is. Does Joker become omnipotent every year? If not, then he simply isn't as well-written as Doctor Doom, I'm afraid.

>villain

didn't chase the burger and fries audience

>Marvel doesn't autistically push an overrated villain with more bad stories than good ones.

Good for them.

Because Joker was created in the 30s or 40s, was part of a super popular TV show in the 60s, and a blockbuster movie in 1989. He had a lot of time and exposure to the masses. Mavel by comparison had all it's major villains created in the 60s and 70s, and until the late 90s/early 00s, they were confined to cartoons at most.

Not to mention they had to change his overall motivation from the comics to give hims some false sense of depth i guess?
