Marvel Studios' villains - too sympathetic or not sympathetic enough?

I'm leaning towards the former. Yeah. You heard me. First off, Karli Morgenthau. ​ The infamous ginger played by Erin Kellyman. Wow. Let me just preface it I would've preferred someone with a batshit insane goal and a straight-laced personality, than a straight-laced goal combined with a batshit insane morality. Marvel accidentally gave its villain a candy, then watered her with some acid. Karli is a freedom fighter and a terrorist at the same time, which doesn't mesh well. And yes, I'm aware of the proverb, before any of you quotes it to me, but here it's not applicable. The show seems very confused as to what stance it's trying to support. Maybe the true benefactor was good ol' Isaiah Bradley, who saw it was a losing game and decided not to interfere with white people's bullshit. Now it's time for Wanda Maximoff. ​ You can stop crying, girl. Nobody's falling for that. PICK A LANE, MARVEL! How the hell does it happen again? You want to pretend like destroying the Hex and Darkholds was heroic, and while on the surface you might be right, but a deeper exploration proves that wrong. Wanda did all those things when pushed to the brink, she was essentially bullied into these, because in normal circumstances, she'd never do that. She would continue to gaslight, extort and hurt others. I believe SW was one of the people Nick Fury talked about when praising Project Insight's ability to neutralize threats before they even threaten. GODDAMMIT! And the worst is, she's never truly to suffer for her misdeeds. Hell, crimes! Emotional damage doesn't count, it's bread and butter for the Scarlet Witch at this point! ​ Wenwu. Another guy who got off scot-free. Hello, is marrying a beautiful woman a goddamn absolution now? You get a pass for all the blood you've shed just because some nights with a lady softened you?! And it even tracks. It tracks, because one of the first things we learn about fucking WANDA after her heel turn is her getting infatuated with Vision. Xu Wenwu and Ying Li are the same. This dude murdered thousands, if not millions, and yet none that were could and should stop him ever bothered. The movie blames everything on the Dweller and the Rings. Jesus! At least Odin wasn't confirmed to have been corrupted by a darker force of unknown origin. ​ Feige, if you are reading this, you need to balance it out! Sympathetic villains are sympathetic to a point, trust me, ye don't wanna sound or look tone deaf. Myopic, even! If you can't balance it out, then don't! Give us irredeemable bastards. Or better! Give us REASONABLE bastards. Ones we cannot feel for, ones we want dead, but also ones we are fascinated with due to their IDEOLOGY. submitted by /u/Bruhmangoddman [link] [comments]
