I'll admit, I was unsure of this version of Vulture. He didn't sound to menacing when I read he was just a former clean-up guy, but Michael Keaton nailed it though. That said, the final fight/battle was a bit anticlimactic which was a little disappointing. Glad they didn't kill him though

Haven't seen the movie and can't (@weirdraptor) but from what I've heard, yeah, he seems to be a full character rather than an obstacle.

None of them are as well realized and fleshed out as Magneto... or as effectively menacing as the Sentinel X in X-Men: Days of Future Past. In short, the MCU villains SUCK.

Yep. I have a feeling he is because Sony still wants that Sinister Six movie.

That said, the final fight/battle was a bit anticlimactic which was a little disappointing. Glad they didn't kill him though Yeah he was very well developed and menacing in a subtle way. I liked how his plan was very human like its something we would all do if we were in that situation.

Magneto is the result of Holocaust exploitation, so he's disqualified. And the Sentinels were only menacing due to the X-Men being utter incompetents, so they're the result of the heroes sucking rather than the villains being any good. Try again. Your FoX-Men movies are obsolete.

Feh, I don't think MCU villains suck nor do I feel Magneto doesn't count. Back to the topic, watching the car scene I can't help thinking what a cool Norman Osborn Keaton would have been.

Not really, take away his Holocaust backstory and he loses more of his "relevance". And the writing is cowardly, it refuses to have anyone really counter him or challenge him or have him suffer the consequences for his acts. And the Sentinels were up against a bunch of incompetents who couldn't fight their way out a wet paper bag and were infamously terrible and using their powers. Put them up against people like the Asgardians and the Sentinels would end up annihilated.

Back to the topic, watching the car scene I can't help thinking what a cool Norman Osborn Keaton would have been. I thought he would've worked out too, seeing how he played an evil CEO in the Robocop remake and was pretty entertaining. But they made the right call not immediately going for a villain we've seen twice already, especially not in MCU Spidey's first movie.

And the writing is cowardly, it refuses to have anyone really counter him or challenge him or have him suffer the consequences for his acts. His Holocaust backstory is who he is by definition. Nothing exploitive about that, just using a real world event to shape a fictional character has been done plenty of times in film. Are you going to criticise Cap and Wonder Woman as well because their origin effectively takes place around the world wars where they are fighting the same Nazis that murdered Eriks family. And Xavier challenges him all the time, you just want to ignore it. The Sentinels are designed specifically to neutralise mutant powers and counter them with their biggest weakness. Asgardians are other world beings so not sure what relevance they have.
