Unironically based

>He's just evil for the sake of being evil!!!!!!!
Meanwhile they worship The Dark Knight as the pinnacle of cinema

go watch power rangers.
leave characterization and compelling conflict to the big boys.

I did it for the lulz

name some good villains in good movies

The money pit

Ozzy in Watchmen;
Unironically Thanos in Avengers;
The bad gook in Oldboy (though the villain was actually the protagonist in the end);
Gay actor man in Se7en;

A villain's actions need only be justifiable to them. It is just an extra element of the character if the audience too can see their actions as justifiable.

Brandon from Brightburn
Cooler from DBZ Cooler's Revenge
Alec from Goldeneye

>Unironically Thanos in Avengers

>villain's reason makes a lot of sense
>he converts the protagonist
Name some films that do this, I want to see them.

>mediocre characters
>incoherent action
>use of CGI
>didactism
>dark and nihilistic
>plot holes

All things Reddit hates yet they still love TDK in droves.

William Foster in Falling Down

I thought Reddit loved CGI and incoherent action

Batman, Lex Luthor, Zod, Sauron, Apollo Creed.

Simon Phoenix in Demolition Man

>characters should have no motivations, they should just do things "lol juz cuz xD"
You're a fucking mouth-breathing moron, you know that right?

Sneed

I can write a character with many motivations and just not reveal them, genius

Thanos is a retard. Not enough resources? What a fucking muddled imbecile. There are trillions of planets in this galaxy alone, enough that even if there were an alien species for every 100 planets that's still 99 more planets for 9 billion to terraform and live on. And for you brainlets,1 alien species for every 100 planets in the milky way is akin to a colony of ants living every ten square feet on earth.

In capeshit universe almost every planet is inhabited. With that in mind, he had a point.

He was just psychotic, right? Didnt really have any driving motivations besides lust for fleeting, localized power and the tendency to carry out every fancy and whim that came to his violent mind?

Not at all, they just have FTL travel. There’s no other life in our solar system in the MCU and Thanos’s plan was (clinically) retarded on every level, not just that one. He’s a meme villain for the ‘turn your brain off’ audience

Name me one relatable villain that is scary

That in itself is a bit retarded though. It's like writing a story where every baby born generates a nuclear explosion when they turn 12 weeks old, so kill them all at 11 weeks. Sure, it needs to be done, but the premise is bullshit.

I think the worst part of his plan was not realizing that the surviving population could double in a matter of decades. He did realize that in Endgame though, changing his plan.

Hugh Jackman in the Prestige

With a 2% growth rate, the human population would reach the mass of the entire universe in less than 10,000 years, but that would be impossible because the growth would be restrained by the speed of light.
That said, Thanos' masterplan would only buy a little time; currently, Earth's population is doubling every 61 years.

Yeah the last time the world's population was ~3 billion was the fucking 70s lmao
Thanos is dumb as rocks. The final boss of the MCU's kryptonite is a economics 101 textbook
