Dormammu

Almost every character was a watered down version of themselves. Bruce was probably the most underused followed by Hawkeye in the main cast

Bucky

It’s a toss up between him an Thor

Vision

Almost every single villain.

This. Why do they insist on killing off almost all villains? It leaves no potential for growth and rivalries

I mean for the sake of argument, if they were exactly the same as they were in the comics then people would argue that they could just go and read the comics instead wouldn't they?

Vision

Every single supporting character in Spider-Man

I'm still sad

>people would argue that they could just go and read the comics instead wouldn't they?
Yeah what's the point of Harry Potter, The Hobbit, or anything being adapted? Clearly they have better ideas.....

People that watch movies and tv don't read comics.

Because the MCU is more interested in building up the heros that are going to become the recurring characters in the franchise, they are the ones that the audience must feel attached to. Rare is the case when a villain outshines the hero in the MCU. A shame because I always wanted a movie about the Avengers vs The Masters of Evil.

Quicksilver

By killing him off, they surrendered to Fox, and they ended up getting the X-Men back anyway so it was for nothing

Not writing Civil War, Infinity War and Endgame to accommodate him was just lazy, he's only as broken as the writer wants

Loki and Thanos are some of the most well liked characters in the MCU and are both villains. They are some of the rare examples of villains being developed in the mcu and are regarded as some of the more interesting characters since heroes cant have the same growth.

This At least Banner is his own character even if underused. The same can't be said for Bucky who barely classifies as a character and is almost entirely plot device since first appearance.

>Quicksilver (Still mad about this one)
>Ultron
>Klaw
>Bucky
>Malekith
>Sultur
Can probably take at least 1 misused character from every movie

>Will never get My War Gone By as a movie cause they fucked Fury
What's even the point

That implies these versions are different. They aren't, they're just lesser than the comics versions. MCU Banner literally just wound up a cut-down, cliffs notes Hulk that got none of the originals' achievements and positive qualities and instead just tried to coast on Ruffalo's charming personality instead of good writing.

Banner’s fine anyway.
My only real problem is his character is effectively done now, he doesn’t have anybody to run from or anything wrong with him and he’s a fucking celebrity now
they’re clearly trying to phase him out for she hulk

Hulk got to shine in the MCU, he was pretty universally regarded as the big dick until Infinity War knocked him down a peg. He may have been underutilized, but I don't think misused is the correct term

This. Waste of someone with cool powers just to sate Whedon bloodlust and a retarded deal with the sinking ship that was fox X-Men. I also liked that he wasn't overpowered like most speedsters.

They completely changed everything about Nick Fury and didn't even make him cool. Just some bumbling loser who gets his eye poked out by a cat and loses control of everything he worked towards. They made him so lame I can't stand it.

Doramammu is also a big one but at least he can be used again later and better.

100% This

The way they treated Klaw pissed me off
>one of the few villains to get development in several movies
>one of the best actors to be on-screen in the MCU
>can easily serve as a villain to a number of heroes
>kill him off not even halfway through BP, and then kill off the villain who killed him off
The reason everyone likes Loki so much is because he got so much screentime, how can anyone come to like a villain that much again when they keep killing them off for no reason

Basically doing no actual hulk shit in the last two movies was complete ass and now he is benched for good. MCU Hulk was a shitty portrayal in general.

I'm not sure but I feel like Thanos lost a lot of respect after the last Avengers movie. Shit was so boring.

Thanos

You anons are so toxic for criticizing the MCU, those have been improvements from the source material!

The only way you can defend this is if you can honestly say that Killian was a better Mandarin. But you can't. The twist doesn't work if you take a 10/10 actor reinventing a character that desperately needed it and replace him with Mr. McBlanddaddy Businessman With Grudge Against Tony #3. And now Tony's dead and he'll never fight the "real" Mandarin unless you had RDJ a check with enough zeroes at the end.

Incredible Hulk was the only one to get Hulk right. It’s also one of the best MCU has. Fight me.

Hank Pym, Maria Hill, Bartoc, Agent 13, Robert Redford, Thunderbolt Ross, That one Korean that maybe was Cho’s mom, Scarlet Witch.

Don't forget Strucker Man! Hydra in WW2 really ruined Strucker, now all the normies think that Hydra = Red Skull, so the real leader and nemesis of Nick Fury (another wasted character) was just killed as if he were a z-list villain.

We're getting a real Mandarin in Shang-Chi

MCU is a Joke

Still ruined IM3 and unless they pull an absolute retcon and make Kingsley the real Mandarin it doesn't matter. Already blew it with him fighting Shang-Chi and not Tony. It's just not the same.

That’s like not using Joker in Batman then going “Well he’s in a Green Arrow Movie!”

What’s so bizarre is that Kingsley’s Mandarin hit all the right notes. As a fan of the Invincible Iron Man comics I loved the idea they had for Kingsley’s Mandarin.

Then they said fuck you and did another evil white businessman, and for some reason no one brought up the level of whitewashing.

I'm a Hawk Guy fag but I think they used him about as much as anyone could expect. He;s always mostly been a side character and only has like 12 issues of a good singles run.

He really was wasted. He's such a cool character and had the potential to be a really interesting character in the MCU. After Winter Soldier though all he has done is stand around goofily staring at Steve. He doesn't even wear the cool mask anymore.

Vision has always sucked. He got his moment in the Sun in Ultron.

Quickass sucked. His accent was spotty at best and he just looked goofy.

It was a shitty twist. That movie was kino when they were aping the Matt Fraction run of Mandarin shooting Osama style videos. As soon as the twist happened and Killian started being the main villain it went down the tubes.

This. That was by far the worst part of it all. They actually had the Kino in the oven and were baking it, when they took it out half way through and took a big steamy poop in it.

Quickslav

I will never not be mad.

Yes, 90% of all of them. But especially Spider-Man aka Iron Boy Wonder

The other characters are better tho.
Hulk only works in solos and lets not forget that Hulk fanboys literally don't give a damn about Banner, poor Ruffalo only got in the poster in the last movie he's ever doing for Marvel.

>ctrl + Iron Fist
>0 results

Really? He was BUTCHERED.

OP said MCU user.

>misused
More like underused. The way he was used was good. They just didn't use him nearly enough.

I hope he gets a fucking reboot, honestly.

None of those have artists drawing all the action and drama, but comics do

He won't, not with Shang Chi.

The two separate characters, why the hell not? Shang-Chi's success could usher in the want for more kung fu superhero movies.

If you think he's benched for good I really don't think you know the Hulk very well

The stink of the Netflix series will likely keep Iron Fist shelved for quite a while. The best you can hope for is Heroes for Hire which is honestly a better deal.

>two separate characters
That are exactly the same to normie audiences except one is problematic? Yeah, they'll work great.

We'll have to wait at least 7 years.

>have Bruce resolve his hulk problems off screen
>No real Hulk action scenes in the two part finale of the MCU
>destroy his arm and have the directors say he is done
He got fucked. Only thing he's good for now is creating shulkie
>you don't know hulk
MCU Hulk hasn't been remotely close to actual hulk since Incredible hulk and a few moments of avengers 1

>Only one is problematic

Have you seen the way Chinese Netizens are preemptively crucifying Shang-Chi, because of his father and allegiance with British MI6?

And, Danny only got calloutcultured, because an Asian-American blogger with a chip on his shoulder created a strawman of Danny, just so he would have his very own Asian-American superhero.

But, he has So Much lore man, and we may never see it realised on screen. :(

Chinks sound like whiny bitches honestly.

They are, even moreso than American and European audiences.

Honestly hoping this whole US-China tradewar thing ends up borking Disney's relationship with the CCP so it puts a stop to all the China pandering we've been seeing in the MCU incessantly the past 5-6 years.

Legally we only have to wait 2 years.
They'd be insane not to bring back Daredevil on Hulu.

Daredevil is the only one worth bringing back, as a movie and continuing after Season 3
Just say that the series took place years ago before the snap or some shit

That wouldn't work at this point. There's been too much character development you'd just have to make not matter so the general audience that didn't watch the show wouldn't be confused.

What more can they do with Banner? Professor Hulk just isn't interesting long term.

I'm sure they'll have to recast. I know Cox is the most popular as Daredevil, but Netflix is now Disney's rival. I'm sure they'd want to distance themselves from them the most. So, it a few more years and the Marvelix memory starts to fade, do a complete reboot.
