Who is your favourite mcu 2025 villains or antagonists of the year?
For me I think all of them have been terrific and with some being familiar faces returning for a new threat, or a new variant of that same person, while others are made their full live action daybreau like with the Void, Galactius or Red hood. My favourite has gotten to be Galactius because I'm glad we got a proper version of the character is who isn't a villain who poses a commands a deadly threat to the beings that he sees and destroy and he felt real, scary and huge without making it silly or goofy. The void was amazing to see the evil and corrupted aspect of sentry being as a metaphor for emptiness and nothings into a Wonderland timeloop of awful and regrets. And the Hood was also great and having the mephisto tease was great and that tag at the end will get payoff soon. Norman Osborne from YFNSM was really good as an animated variant of the character and being different as well. Leader couldn't been better, but it was decent enough.

Bob > Kingpin. Zombie Wanda and The Leader bottom.
Galactus
The Void
Wilson Fisk
Somehow this complete and expected villain character Arc is a cliffhanger.
***IRONHOOD***
Also, Agatha.
1. The Void
2. Kingpin
3. Galactus
4. Val
Decent
5. Zombie Wanda
6. Norman Osborne
Sucked
7. The Hood
8. The Leader
Void, Norman, Galactus were all good too. Hood was decent and the Leader was bad.
Nothing comes close to Kingpin for me.
He's done such a good job it's my favorite portrayal of the character, full stop. Comics, cartoons, whatever. This, for me, is Kingpin. Chris Evans did the same thing for me and Captain America. Just brought their own vibe to the role but still just embodied them 100%.
1. Galactus
2. Zombie Wanda
3. The Void
4. The Hood
The Leader I simply don’t like because he is written poorly. A smart person who is outsmarted by a regular person.
It's a plane!
No! It's...Bipolarman!!
I was *very* fucking excited for Yeun, after watching his portrayal of depression in Beef and was disappointed when he had to step back.
That said, Pullman knocked it out of the park. He was brilliant stepping in.
I don't really understand why Norman Osborn is here, when he's been helping the hero for almost the entire season. It would have been more logical to put Scorpion here.
The rest are simply a disgrace. The Leader hasn't demonstrated his supposedly high intellect in any way and has made several stupid mistakes. The Hood is simply a flat underling for the charismatic Mephisto. Galactus is merely visually appealing—we haven't been given any insight into his past (words alone aren't enough), he doesn't demonstrate his godlike abilities, and he was defeated in a very stupid manner (as if he weren't a cosmic deity, but a sort of oversized Ant-Man).
He literally was just a big guy. No intelligence, no sophistication. Just show up and walk towards your target.
"The unstoppable force" was defeated by "Force Push" and a bit of Deux Ex Machina.
FF was spectacular world-building, some beautiful set pieces and strong characterization.
But it was far from a perfect movie, held back by weak plot and an entirely meh villain.
If he wasnt *Galactus*, nobody would remember the slow-walking giant.
This is my problem.
"Hes never been challenged" is a ludicrous concept. Hes been eating planets since time immemorial.
Half of these designs are trash.

For me has to be the void. But I don't think the hood was that bad either.
The rest were actually forgettable. Hood and Sterns were kinda shit
I loved how hood ended up as visual storytelling for the cost of taking on power without having the capacity to control the appetite for more, and galactus was fantastic as a literal unstoppable force.
But really i am happy with all of them cause finally we have marvel villains that survive their freaking movie. Finally we can actually have recurring villains with existing relationships to the heroes and not have to start at step freaking one to get stakes we can care about because you can bring these guys back and people will be able to say “oh shit, I remember that guy! What’re they gonna cook up this time, the hero barely stopped them before!”
2) Galactus
3) Kingpin
4) Silver Surfer
5) Red Hulk
6) Zombie Wanda
7) Val
8) The Hood
9) The Leader
Next: Galactus, Hood, Bullseye.
Bottom: Leader, Lion.
YFNSM Norman is not an antagonist yet.
Both cool to see on the big screen.
Probably have to go with Galactus given how well they managed to handle a character that was long overdue to have such a great movie representation since Fantastic Four 2
Even if the way he was "defeated" made me quite upset, because when have I ever had that basic reassurance with those kind of issues in my life?
1. Leader
2. Galactus
3. Kingpin
The rest wee forgettable
The Hood isn’t bad
The Leader is overrated.
Honorable mention, Mephisto finally coming to the MCU.
Fisk is just Fisk. No justification. No higher calling. He is doing it because he can and he wants to.
such a goated viliian
THEY HAD HIM PERFECT
WHY TURN HIM INTO A BROCCOLI HEAD
Kingpin when taking the 3 seasons of Netflix Daredevil into account stands as an easy conversation for the GOAT villain spot for the mcu.
But beyond Kingpin who is just continuing his otherwise great story? It's probably Galactus or Void as they functionally just did exactly what they needed to in order to test the heroes.
In that case Galactus was great, but Void was on another level of incredible.
