It should go without saying that spoilers follow for almost every movie and TV show in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.ģ8. Morals aside(ish), here are MCU villains ranked from least hot to most hot. Some villains’ hotness can be judged based on their morals and values (Nazis, slave owners, anyone who murders a child or a dog), but even some of the heroes are responsible for the deaths of innocent people (the Avengers in Sokovia, Wanda Maximoff). Characters from the Marvel Netflix shows were not considered because I slept through all of them and the MCU likes to pretend they do not exist.Īlthough I consider myself a morally good human being, I had to abandon all that while ranking MCU villains by hotness, because I had to forgive all the mass murder. Other notable omissions I’m mentioning here, so please don’t yell at me about them: The Mandarin from Iron Man 3 is an actor the villain paid, Nebula is a Guardian of the Galaxy and an Avenger now, and Bucky Barnes is a hero now too. All major villains are included, and all minor villains included either had major impact, are too hot not to include, or are played by big enough names that their hotness in the role must be addressed, which is a long way of saying that Carrie Coon’s character from Infinity War is represented, but the evil senator Garry Shandling ( RIP) played in Captain America: The Winter Soldier is not. But that’s okay, because most of the cuts are villains everyone forgot about anyway. Then I made necessary eliminations: I did not have a year to write this, and I did not want to write this for a year. Heroes and villains have both donned the red, white, and blue over the years, but some did Captain America greater justice than others, even if it was for just a short period of time compared to. Once I had my list, I broke them down into three categories: hot, kind of hot, and not hot. First, I made a list of every villain in the MCU, including minor characters I didn’t even realize existed while I was watching the movies, characters I completely forgot about, and major villains. With the unofficial and self-assigned spokesperson for the MCU being more sexy, it was my duty to make this ranking as comprehensive as possible. So in honor of Loki - who is so hot that he not only has his own show on Disney+, even though the character is technically dead, but he is also cereal now - I ranked most (though not all see below) MCU villains by hotness. I pay attention to the plot occasionally, but mostly I just want to see Loki and other mean-but-hot people do things I don’t understand for reasons I don’t understand. Some people watch the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the plot (could not possibly be me), and some (me and others) watch Marvel Cinematic Universe content for pure objectification.
