From all the Superhero movies that have been made since 2010 would you say that Thanos is the greatest villain of them all?
Or would you choose someone else? Here are some others I think could be a contender.
Loki
Magneto (Michael Fassbinder's version)
Bane
Winter Solider
You could also add Vulture and Killmonger maybe as a possibility.
I'm undecided. I think Thanos could be the best, it's between him Magneto and Bane for me.

Nope
Marvel overall has crappy villains though. They are not the focus.

1) Ultron
2) Zemo
3) Thanos
4) Aldrich Killian/Trevor Slattery/The Mandarin
5) Killmonger
Honourable Mention: Tony Stark
These are the best so far in my opinion.

I'd probably go with Bane though I was never a fan of how he was suddenly thrown aside after the true villain reveal. I still find him to be the most memorable.
Very intimidating without being a huge CGI monster.
Thanos probably second though.

Since 2010? I put him third after Loki and Bane.
Most of the great comic movie villains were done before 2010 though so it's not a big competition.

Who would you place higher? For starters. Zod in MoS is a much better villain than Thanos. Thanos is better than any MCU villain so far and had potential to be a great villain, but Thanos fell short of being a great villain because MCU made him too sappy and sentimental. What the fuck kind of great villain shows mercy and feels remorse for killing? Heath Ledger's Joker didn't show any mercy or feel any remorse for killing. Neither did Hans Gruber. When the Nakatomi CEO told Hans that he couldn't open the vault and said "You'll just have to kill me", Hans said "OK" and shot him in the head immediately. No hesitation, no mercy, no remorse. It's like the line by Kyle Reese in The Terminator: "The Terminator knows no mercy. He knows no remorse." No mercy and no remorse. That's 1 of the requirements of a great villain. Thanos showed mercy for Tony Stark and also showed remorse for killing Gamora so he fell far short of being a great villain. Zod in MoS had no mercy and no remorse for killing. Heck, Zod took his last breath trying to kill an innocent family. |

Zod didn't kill people for the sake of it either. He was only doing it for what was for the betterment of his race. Thanos is doing what he's doing because to him he's doing the surviving half a favour. So he also thinks he's doing it for the betterment of others. |

But he wasn't doing it out of any malice, he wasn't an evil person. He's not like The Joker who does it for pleasure. He's not like the Terminator who is doing it because he's programmed to. It was something he felt he had to do like Thanos. Thanos felt remorse for killing Gamora because he loved her that's why he got the stone in the first place. He only left Tony Stark alive because he's apparently true to his word. Remorseful villains are plentiful. There's thousands listed here. villains.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Remorseful |

He only left Tony Stark alive because he's apparently true to his word. That's why Thanos isn't a great villain. Villains aren't supposed to stay true to their word. Villains have no code of honor and can't be trusted to keep their word. That's why they're villains. Remorseful villains are plentiful. There's thousands listed here. villains.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Remorseful Thanos: 1. Shows remorse for killing. 2. Shows mercy. 3. Stays true to his word. That is not a great villain. Great villains don't do all those things. |
