Agreed.
formersamhmd's 3 most frequent comments are:
1. The Academy gave Heath Ledger an Oscar for The Dark Knight only because he died.
2. Wonder Woman had artificial boosters.
3. MCU movies aren't about the villains.
#1 and #2 are false and have already been debunked many times. As for #3, that's a weak excuse for MCU's failure to write good villains.
It's 100% true that a hero is only as good as the villain and obstacles he must overcome. It's like if LeBron James is currently considered the best player in the NBA not because he plays against and dominates high school or college players but because he plays against and dominates NBA players.
If LeBron James only dominated against high school or college players, he wouldn't be considered great. Likewise, MCU's so-called "heroes" aren't much of a hero because they only fight villains that are junior varsity level so not much of an obstacle to overcome.
I've explained this to formsamhmd many times but formersamhmd just doesn't seem to understand it. Without Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker wouldn't be a great hero. Luke Skywalker would just be a farmboy. It's having a formidable adversary in Vader who pushes Luke to the limits that is what makes Luke a great and respected hero.
