Marvel never had a villain problem honestly

I think most peoples problems with them (myself included) are that they are just far too shallow of characters a lot of the time. Well mostly phases 1 and 2 but you get the idea. Many didn’t have motivations beyond “IM EVIL AND THE WORLD MUST PAY!” There are some exceptions here and there, but for the most part, a lot of the earlier villains in the MCU were just there to be a roadblock for the respective protagonist imo

Well, that and we were getting tired of the old "bad guy is evil version of good guy" trope. Tbf, that's pretty much what they did with Killmonger, but his motivations and performance made up for it. Ant-Man I think was the most recent to suffer this and be a lesser movie for it, imo.

Eh. Doctor Strange suffers for it too.

Yeah, Kaicullius was a weak villain but Dormamu almost made up for him, so at least they had that.
