the thor series: introduces a villain who becomes the pinnacle of marvel villainy, complete with a complex and tragic backstory that gives way both to torment as a true villain, as well as a path to redemption to become a fan favorite anti-hero

spider-man homecoming: introduces a villain who is hurt by the destruction caused by the big battles between the heros and villains, showing how the little guy gets effected by both the in-world conflicts as well as big business and industry, who has a true love for his family and cares for their wellbeing, and deals illegal arms due to being drove out of a job by capitalists trying to cover their ass

black panther: introduces an antagonist who one could barely even call a “villain”, who’s moral argument was so sound, strong, and true that it actually won over the protagonist, and who’s only downfall on their quest for world salvation and revenge was their bloodthirsty, ruthless, and imperialistic nature that was installed into him by the us military

russo brothers: look at this big purple man!!! he’s an abusive father and genocidal fascist. but at one point in the movie, he CRIES! yeah he cries over throwing a woman off a cliff who he kidnapped and tortured and treasured like a prized weapon which for some reason translates into love in this story, but he CRIED! sure he could’ve used the infinity gauntlet to manifest more resources instead of sinking to genocide, but he CRIED! yeah maybe his original story of being obsessed with death would’ve made a more fun and less deeply problematic story, since we literally introduced a woman who is the personification of death two movies ago and who is also considered one of the greater mcu villains, but who cares about that? we’ve FINALLY cracked the marvel villain problem and made a SYMPATHETIC VILLAIN!!!

do you even know what humanization is

yes i’m saying they shouldn’t have done that for thanos that’s the whole point of his post
