Most sympathetic MCU villian?

[AnthonyO'Brien]

Killmonger
Ghost
Zemo
Loki
Guy Pearce
Other?

For me its a toss up between Ghost and Killmonger. It was a dick move for T'Chaka to just leave a kid like that and even worse for SHIELD (Hydra?) to weaponise a young girl .

YOUR thoughts on this?

[Captain M]

Killmonger? Lol, the guy who killed hundreds of his brothers and sisters just to get revenge on T'Challa who didn't do anything to him in the first place?

Ghost for sure

[AnthonyO'Brien]

Thanks for the speedy reply! Yeah, sympathy only stretches so far, Red Skull probably had a hard upbringing too like he did in the comics but that doesn't excuse or Guy Pearce just cause he had a lousy NYE 2000...

[Carabas]

I'm going with Calvin Zabo.

[AJBopp]

I'm sure this doesn't officially count as MCU, but in Marvel movies I'd have to go with Doc Ock

[Midvillian1322]

Nebula
Vulture
Killmonger
Thanos
Zemo

None of them are completely sympathetic. But you understand what drives them. Thanos might be number 1 for me if we were given a look at his family and life on Titan. We are just told no one listened and his planet was lost. If we got some more personal stuff woulda helped alot. Maybe in a eternals movie or avengers 4

Guy Pearce

I'm sure you mean Aldrich Killian the guy he played in IM3 lol

[XPac]

FIrst name to pop in my head is Nebula. She's got a tragic past, which is obviously a must for a sympathetic villain, but she's also not TOO bad on the villain scale.

[shades of eternity]

Crusher Creel.

He's the lovable loser who really keeps making bad choices.

[Michael Watkins]

Helmut Zemo. he lost everything. Ghost has Bill Foster for family. Loki could have had the love of his foster parents and Thor. I don't know about Killmonger but he callously killed one of his allies. she was clearly loyal to him. Killian was an insanely wealthy and attractive individual. that should have been enough.

[Gorthon616]

Ultron. Because obviously Ultron.

[Kusanagi]

Ghost (pretty much a victim trying to survive, goes to harsh measures, but stops herself from crossing lines)

Vulture (Had his career ruined by powers greater than himself, trying to provide for his family, mostly just a thief)

Killmonger (Sympathetic back story, legit grievances against Wakanda and the world...goes about addressing these issues as a psychopath...)

Thanos (legitimately believes he is making the Universe a better, more sustainable place...though a few moments of thought makes you think that's bullshit, and how he treated Nebula/Gamora backs that up.)

Zemo (legit grief followed by revenge, he's not trying to make anything better. He just wants to make people hurt even if you can see why. Problem is he kills a lot of innocent people who had nothing to do with his revenge)

Loki (...he's really charismatic....yeah he's a power mad dick, but he's a likable power mad dick which puts him above Hela imo.)

I found Ivan Vanko to be fairly sympathetic. From his view, he was the hero and Stark the Capitalist, money-grubbing son of a money-grubbing Capitalist who ruined his father for personal gain. Not what really happened but what he believed.

Although I would agree that Zemo was even more sympathetic.

[Alan2099]

Loki (...he's really charismatic....yeah he's a power mad dick, but he's a likable power mad dick which puts him above Hela imo.)

That, and Loki has some serious family issues, which are understandable considering his history.

[SpiderClops]

Ghost. She just doesn't want to die.

Zemo is also very sympathetic.

Loki is not really sympathetic, I understand why he does what he does. I can forgive him for most of the stuff except in The Avengers.
