The big difference is that in Marvel the real meat of the story comes from the protagonist, their character flaws and the internal conflict they get from their allies and friends. The villain is mainly just a plot device, an obstacle to be overcome.

Which gets boring after 10+ years seeing heros battling so called supervillains, defeating them easily and barely leaving with a scratch rinse and repeat.

The villains should be the source of the heros conflicts and should challenge them to beyond their physical/mental limit to their breaking point.

Agreed. It's like setting the treadmill to the lowest level and not even breaking a sweat and then saying that you've done your workout. Where's the challenge in that?

I've explained this to MCU fans before. Without Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker wouldn't a great hero. Luke would just be a farmboy. A hero is only good if they have a formidable adversary who pushes them to the limits.
