Collider Exclusive · 8 questions · 2 minutes Which MCU villain Do you agree? Killmonger · Namor · Zemo · Thanos
Eight honest questions about who you really are: What do you do when something unfair happens, how long do you wait for what you want, who are you really loyal to, how easily do you let something go? Answer them and we’ll tell you which of these four you have more in common with than you’d like. Each of them thinks they are the sensible person in the room.
🐆Killmonger(Black Panther)
🔱Namor(Wakanda forever)
🎭Low(Civil War)
🧤Thanos(Infinity War)
01
How do you respond to something you think is unfair? All four of these men started here.
02
How long will you wait for something you want? Patience separates these four more than anything else.
03
Who are you actually loyal to? Answer the real one, not the polite one.
04
How do you win an argument? Everyone has a method and uses it every time.
05
How easy is it to let something go? This is the question that turns people into villains.
06
What do you think about breaking the rules? Nobody on this list has ever felt bad about it.
07
What do people say about you behind your back? You already know which one it is.
08
What would you do with real power? After eight questions, this is the question that selects your villain.
The case is made You agree with…
Four villains and four arguments – the films were honest enough to actually let you make them. Here is the spot you are leaning towards, the part of it that holds, and the exact point where it stops holding.
Black Panther · Marvel Studios · 2018
Eric Killmonger
You agree with whoever was right about the problem and wrong about the solution. Killmonger is the most compelling villain Marvel has produced because the film never acts as if his rage comes from nowhere.
You notice who has been abandoned and you can’t let them go, which is a moral instinct before it is anything else.
His argument lands because Wakanda really watched and did nothing, and the film gets T’Challa to admit it out loud.
Where it breaks is the method, for a man who had been failed by power decided the answer was to keep more of it.
Michael B. Jordan plays him as someone who brings certainty over grief, which is why the final scene of this film still works.
Wakanda Forever · Marvel Studios · 2022
Namor
You join the Protector, which is the most understandable and dangerous position on this list. Namor doesn’t seek power or revenge, he does everything that his people have kept hidden and has done for centuries.
There is a hard limit to your loyalty, and everything within that limit is far more important to you than anything outside it.
Talokan is the most fully realized world Marvel has created since Wakanda, and the film lets you understand exactly what it’s guarding.
His logic is sound until it demands that someone else pay for the safety of his people.
He would rather be feared by the surface world forever than trust it once, and history has given him reasons for that.
Captain America: Civil War · 2016
Helmut Zemo
You join the Patient One, the only man on this list with no power, no army, and no haste. Zemo lost his family in Sokovia and then found out for years that instead of fighting the Avengers, you let them in on each other’s secrets.
You remain silent when you are hurt, and in the silence the thinking takes place.
Zemo is the only MCU villain to win outright, and he did it with a notebook, a plan, and a lot of self-control.
His grief is real and the film is careful not to let you forget that he started out as an ordinary man with a family.
Where it fails is the cost, because picking apart the people who hurt him meant hurting a lot of people who didn’t.
Avengers: Infinity War · 2018
Thanos
You agree with whoever decided the answer was arithmetic. Thanos isn’t angry or grieving as he admits, he simply came to a conclusion and never revisited it, which is exactly what makes him so scary.
You are capable of holding a position that costs you everything, and you would describe that as conviction rather than stubbornness.
Infinity War works because it is structured like his film, with a goal, a journey and a sacrifice, and the heroes are the obstacle.
The plan’s flaw lies not in its cruelty, but in the fact that it never seriously considered a single alternative to it.
Josh Brolin plays him more tired than triumphant, which made a purple giant a real character.
The MCU returns this December
After conquering everything Brand new dayit’s hard to imagine a film topping this the latest Spidey film to hit the box office.
