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.
Or are you willing to say that means Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Suicide Squad were not good heroes in MoS, BvS, SS and WW?
This is just turned into a DC fan talking point. Your sceenname is perfect.
The claim is not even true as proven in countless movies over the years. Indiana Jones is one of the all time great heroes and has never had a great villain once. Name one great villain for Dirty Harry. Superman is one of the all time great heroes and has one of the most pathetic villains....Lex Luther can't possibly present a challenge to Supes. Some "obstacle". Let's see you move the goal posts when it's a DC character.
You rightly point out that Vader was the nemesis of Luke in the Star Wars films...
...Guess who was the most popular hero in those movies? Han Solo. So much for that theory.
