Bring on the bad guys!
Villains like Dr. Doom and Magneto are just what the doctor ordered for the MCU.
So whats Marvel missing?
The Marvel formula is reasonably simple, and its made even the less impressive films at least thoroughly entertaining.
Theres little doubt that Tom Hiddlestons Loki was the most indispensable bad guy in the MCU.
Was Ben Kingsleys Mandarin memorable?
Is he a villain truly worthy of the third installment of a massive superhero movie franchise?
Nor was Heinrich Zemo ever sufficiently explored inCaptain America: Civil War.

I am, of course, talking about Doctor Doom and Magneto.
Doom is arguably the greatest villain in all of comics(with apologies to the Joker).
Think of all the technological wonders weve seen Tony Stark unleash on screen.
Now imagine all of that and more being wielded by an Eastern European dictator with none of Tonys conscience.
Well, maybe Michael Fassbender, which brings me to our next baddie.
When you make your comic book villain Mt.
Rushmore, Magneto gets a prominent place, right next to Doctor Doom and the Joker.
Marvel is going to have some explaining to do about where mutants have been this entire time.
Finding someone who can fill the purple cape of Ian McKellen or Michael Fassbender will be a challenge.
Bring on the bad guys.
