The MCU needs more truly evil villains without redemption arcs.

The ones you can't empathize with, I mean.

I feel like there's a trend to humanize every villain with a sad backstory that people can empathize with and while that makes for very interesting story arcs it's already getting repetitive. I think there's a need for more villains that are just plain terrible people with no redeemable qualities and no redemption arcs.

  • Agatha was pretty evil but she got a sad backstory and now she's with Billy so she's probably on her way to a redemption arc.

  • Dar-Benn was trying to save her people and you could argue the whole thing was Carol's fault.

  • Namor, same as Dar-Benn and also kind of similar to Killmonger. He ended up being an ally of the Wakandans.

  • Gorr, similar to Agatha, sad backstory that made them evil.

  • Wanda, consumed by grief and later corrupted by the Darkhold.

  • Loki got a whole redemption arc.

  • Kaecilius was corrupted by Dormammu.

  • The Deviants were created by the celestials and were necessary for the development of intelligent life.

  • Ghost was trying to heal herself and now she's with the Thunderbolts.

  • Taskmaster is pretty much the same as Bucky, brainwashed, not their fault. Not villains anymore.

I mean, you can keep going, most of them are pretty much the same, they all have that one thing that people can empathize with or end up being redeemed.

I think having more villains like Hela or Kang would be great but sadly we're not even getting Kang anymore.
