10 Comic Book Movie Villains That Deserved Way Better Endings

:0:0

Throughout the comic book movies of the MCU and the DCU, there have been multiple antagonists who deserved far better endings than they were given. Even before the movies of the MCU cemented comic book movies as one of the most successful genres at the box office, heroes and villains from the pages of Marvel, DC, and other comics were being adapted to the big screen. No good superhero story is complete without an appropriate villain, making the antagonists of these movies every bit as important as the heroes.
Unfortunately, the timelines of the DCEU and the MCU have seen many villains squandered by their respective endings. Some disappear with a whimper, while others are wasted in spectacular fashion, contributing to endings that are utterly disappointing on many levels. With that in mind, here are 10 comic book movie villains that simply deserved much better endings.
10 Venom Shouldn't Have Died The Way He Did Spider-Man 3 (2007) Close Of all the villains in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy, none received quite the level of criticism as Topher Grace’s Venom. Though the iteration of the iconic Marvel villain was controversial, Spider-Man 3’s handling of the character was even worse. The film introduced Venom as a villain alongside Sandman and New Goblin, having Spider-Man face three separate antagonists in a single-film arc. It also gave Venom a definitive ending, though the villain deserved far better.
Spider-Man 3 ended with both Eddie Brock and Venom disintegrated by one of New Goblin’s pumpkin bombs. However, considering how popular Venom is a character and how resilient the symbiote typically is in the comics, there was no reason to kill off both the symbiote and the host after a single appearance. Having Venom survive to find a new host would have made far more sense with regard to the villain’s symbiotic nature, but Spider-Man 3 didn’t give the alien antagonist or its host the ending they deserved.
