2024 was a pretty luckluster year when it comes to movie villains
The guy from Furiosa is called Warlord Dementus and he was great. I also liked the Chameleon, Proximus, James McGrath, (Interesting motivations.) Ernest Miller, (I’m a sucker for villains who are terrible parents.) Cassandra Nova, D-16/Megatron, (Loved his development.) Sentinel Prime, Longlegs, Paddy and Ciara, Mr. Reed and Macrinus. Vontra wasn’t so bad either.
Never again this disgusting year...
I have to disagree. We got some cool villains like the Chameleon, Sentinel Prime, Vontra, Nova, Macrinus, Knull, Proximus Caesar and many others.
I agree, most villains were very boring this year
You know right.
No no, you’re not wrong. Outside of Dementus, Feyd-Rautha, Macrinus, and Megatron, they’ve been fairly eh overall
I am mixed. Megatron, Sentinel Prime and Skar King are great villains. Then most of the internet hates Chameleon but I think she is a great villain. But villains like Proximus, Cassandra Nova and Vontra were just okay. Then villains like Jinx and Maxime Le Mal were mediocre or tending to pretty bad.
I haven't watched Dune and Furiosa movies.
Let me get this straight:
Chameleon from KFP4 was lame along with her motivations, easily the worst KFP baddie;
Knull from Venom 3 has potential, but he hasn't done anything yet, and we'll see him again in the next Spider-Man movie;
I won't count Anxiety from Inside Out 2;
Regina George wasn't as impactful as the Rachel McAdams version;
Vontra was alright, it didn't bother me, but it could have had more screentime, and I say this as someone who loved Wild Robot;
Moana 2 villains (Nalo and Matangi) are wasted potential.
Cassandra Nova was a big disappointment, poorly handled just like MoM Wanda or most recent MCU villains, and I don't give a damn about the actress' performance.
That said, the only great villains are the ones from Transformers One, the ones from The Penguin, Dementus and Proximus Caesar.
Here are my opinions on every one I watched: -
1) Chameleon - 9/10 Criminally underrated villain !!! I personally find her more well-written than Kai. Yeah, I said it.
2) Skar King - 9/10 Great but Godzilla x Kong is alright
3) Proximus Caesar - 7/10 Decent but easily the most disappointing villain of 2024 !! Just wasted potential !!
4) Jinx - 6/10 Her design was pretty cool but pretty generic.
5) Maxime Le Mal - 4 or 5/10 One of the worst villains ever in recent animation !! I die a little when people say he is better written than Chameleon.
6) Cassandra Nova - 7/10 Cartoonishly evil and overpowered
7) Megatron - 10/10 Maybe his transition to villany was slightly rushed but other than that no criticisms.
8) Sentinel Prime - 9/10 Not as compelling as Megatron but still pretty love to hate kind of villain.
9) Vontra - 7/10 Wild Robot is a masterpiece but she is just okay.
@Anuj Chatterjee You're not the only one who find Maxime is such a boring villain I don't find his relationship with Gru that compelling plus he barely got screentime and interaction with Gru the movie completely underused him. At least The Chameleon still have a lot of potential compared to that guy
What do you think?
