Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (May 5, 2017)

Maybe it's just me. I thought he was better than Ego when it came to villains.

[Tyrath]

It's just you.

Ego > Loki > the rest > Ronan > Dr. Strange guy

[Deftscythe]

It's too bad they made Red Skull so cartoonish. I bet Hugo Weaving could've given the role some real life if they let him.

[Obsidian]

I'd put Loki ahead of Ego.

Ego > Loki > the rest > Ronan > Dr. Strange guy

The night elf dude from Thor 2 has gotta be worse than Dr Strange guy and I haven't seen Dr. Strange yet.

[Omniyoji]

Only good thing about Ronan was Lee Pace...

Ego > Loki > the rest > Ronan > Dr. Strange guy

wtf? Unless you mean Dormammu himself? Caecilius almost makes you side with him. Not completely cause you're gonna at least wonder from the start if he's being tricked himself but he's up there on the list for compelling villains. And idk that I'd put Dormammu low either just from sheer power.

[Eurell]

Ronan was bad. But Thor2 elf dude and IM3 fake mandarin and "real" mandarin were waaaaaay worse.

[Zealot]

Caecilius, a name I'm taking your word for, was by far the least memorable and least interesting villain besides, maybe, Malekith.

It's a pity too because Ben Kingsley was doing work and would have been fine if they just played it straight.

Ronan and Malekith are both on the bottom end due to being unremarkable angry aliens hellbent on war with little else in motivation and characterization.

and "real" mandarin

..but we haven't seen him. Just one of his agents, that guy who broke the fake mandarin out wasn't the real mandarin.

[Anoat]

At this point I hope real Mandarin shows up in Agents of SHIELD or one of the Netflix series. Don't think a movie would do for him now.

[Obsidian]

Malekith was the worst for me because the version I watched didn't properly rip the subtitles for half the movie I had no idea what the fuck he was saying. And after I went back and watched it with subtitles, it didn't really improve anything.

I kinda dislike movies in general that do that subtitle shit because they almost never get ripped correctly.

I would've been fine with the twist in IM3 if the "real" villain hadn't been so bland.

Still holding out hope that some future movie will tell us it was a double fake-out and Kingsley was always the real Mandarin.

All Hail the King nulls that possibility. It sounds like you haven't seen it. https://vimeo.com/129341896

...but yeah, considering that was only on a DVD release and not an actual post-credit scene, it'd be hard for them to put him in a movie. @12 minutes it would've been a real stretch to include it like that (though I would've stuck through it).

Never heard of it, and if I haven't heard of it that means it's not canon.

[DrClout]

Also got home from seeing this. I loved all the character progression especially Yondu and Rocket

It's canon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Hail_the_King

All Hail the King is a 2014 American direct-to-video short film featuring the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) character Trevor Slattery, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment on the home media release of Thor: The Dark World. It is a follow up and spin-off of Iron Man 3, and is the fifth film in the Marvel One-Shots short film series. The film is written and directed by Drew Pearce, and is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, sharing continuity with the films of the franchise. It stars Ben Kingsley, Scoot McNairy, Lester Speight, and Sam Rockwell, with Kingsley reprising his role from Iron Man 3, and Rockwell reprising his role from Iron Man 2. In All Hail the King, a documentary filmmaker interviews the infamous fake terrorist Trevor Slattery from behind bars.

If Marvel wants to do something for a movie story, they aren't got to let some direct-to-video short get in the way. That said, I do recognize that this is an unlikely pet theory of mine.
