Special:Badtitle/NS90:Talk:Complete Monster/Marvel Films/"Examples" that should NOT be seen here. (2)


 * Eddie Brock/Venom from Spider-Man 3 - Pretty much fails the heinous standard compared to the Green Goblin thanks to the fact that he doesn't really do much in his screen-time, with the only person he kills being on accident whenever said murder was intended for the hero. And thanks to the way the alien symbiote affects people's behavior, his moral agency as Venom is questionable.
 * The Venom Symbiote from Spider-Man 3 - It doesn't appear to have any moral agency, and as noted above the crimes Eddie Brock commits under its influence aren't nearly as heinous as the Green Goblin.
 * Harry Osborn/The Green Goblin from The Amazing Spider-Man series - Could have theoretically counted had the movies continued, but since the series died and is set for another reboot, he hasn't done enough to qualify and has only crossed the Moral Event Horizon.
 * Wilson Fisk/The Kingpin from Daredevil (film) - Fails to be as heinous as Bullseye, who would go all out with any position or resources he held, as opposed to Fisk, who doesn't.
 * Bolivard Trask from X-Men: Days Of Futures Past - Is clearly a Well-Intentioned Extremist who'd hoped his creations could help mankind, and the worst things he did were to mutants who were already dead.
 * Blonsky/Abomination from The Incredible Hulk - A standard psychopathic villain in a universe that has given us far worse.
 * Ivan Vanko from Iron Man 2 - Genuinely loved his father and showed honorable traits, even Pet the Dog moments with his birds.
 * Justin Hammer from Iron Man 2 - Completely fails the heinous standard compared to Obadiah, Killian, and even Vanko, and isn't treated all that seriously by the work.
 * Loki - His atrocities in The Avengers do nothing to invalidate that he has shown redeeming features and Noble Demon qualities both before and after, has a Freudian Excuse, and truly loved his mother enough to be saddened by her death.
 * Malekith the Accursed from Thor 2: The Dark World - Unlike his comic book equivalent who is a particularly vicious and cruel individual, Cinematic Universe Malekith is pretty much nothing but the Generic Doomsday Villain, to the point to where the trope could be called The Malekith. What doesn't help his case is that he was meant to be more fleshed out before he lost screentime to Loki, and he would have had a few redeeming qualities: mainly him having a dead wife and child that he loved very much, which would have taken him out of this territory even further.
 * Alexander Pierce from Captain America: The Winter Soldier - Was a Well-Intentioned Extremist who veered into Knight Templar territory, but never Complete Monster territory.
 * Arnim Zola from Captain America: The Winter Soldier - He fails to be as heinous as Red Skull or even his own comic book counterpart despite a horrific plan.
 * Baron Wolfgang von Strucker (Age of Ultron) - For pretty much exactly the same reasons as Zola.
 * Thanos the Mad Titan - Has little characterization or onscreen crimes as of now, so his status has yet to be determined.
 * Darren Cross - Borders on Well-Intentioned Extremist, doesn't seem to recognize the immoral nature and ramifications of his actions, and fails the heinous standard of the MCU as a whole.
 * Crossbones - See Zola and Strucker.
 * Helmut Zemo - It goes without saying, but he's easily the most sympathetic villain in the MCU yet due to having a solid Freudian Excuse (he wants revenge against the Avengers due to them being unintentionally responsible for the deaths of his family) and has his fair share of redeeming qualities (such as apologizing to Black Panther for killing his father).
 * Xianling - Had moral agency issues due to being driven to insanity by Whitehalls experiments, sincerely believed she was doing what was right, loved her husband and daughter, and was painted as a Tragic Villain given an Alas, Poor Villain Mercy Kill death.
 * Grant Ward - While he was a horrible, irredeemable psychopath to the end, he had a few mitigating traits such as a case of Even Evil Has Loved Ones for Kara and his brother Thomas.
