There's probably an echo chamber of media shills around the Marvel movies--and/or a lot of the fans of the movies are too young to remember when movie villains posed a threat. I.e. Scorpio in Dirty Harry.
The villains pose no threat in Marvel movies (except Jeff Bridges in the first Iron Man and maybe Loki in the first Thor).
They tell jokes, and there is no sense of them posing any real danger.
Hans Gruber joked around--maybe a little too much, but he was threatening enough when necessary.
Lex Luthor was joking around for much of Superman the Movie but when he brings out the kryptonite it gets suspenseful. Zod was threatening.
I am not a fan of Ledger's Joker but he did do things that posed a danger and had lethal consequences.
In the X-men movies, Stryker and Magneto are threatening. They can be humorous but its not in a way that kills suspense like the Disney movies do.
Iron Man 3 was a situation where they had created a suspenseful villain in the Mandarin but they ruined it due to their PC SJW agenda (cant have a non white Muslim bad guy like in real life).
