Can you tell me what's your definition of a good villain? To me it's a villain with relatable motive, interesting ways of achieviening own goals and at least partially successful plans.

We both agree that Ronan the Accusser is a bad one dimensional villain, because for revange he wants to commit genocide and he has no redeeming qualities. Red Skull is a bad villain, because he's generic power hungry world conqueror.

Ego is a good villlain, because he's not just power hungry, he thinks only he can make the universe better, being in love in Meredith Quill was changing him. He killed her, because he was afraid she distracts him from his plans, not for evil. I don't know what you think of Zemo, but I think he's a good villain and a relatable character. He lost everything and rightfully blames Avengers for this. He lacks superpowers, but his manipulations are very clever. Despite all he did I still can feel sorry for him, becuase I personally know how it is to lose close relatives.

However can you explain why you think Hela is a good villain? I see her as another generic doomsday villain. She simply wants to conquer and plunder and all she does is killing and devastating. She doesn't manipulate, because she's so powerful she doesn't need any strategy. To me she's female version of Ronan.
