It's Saturday afternoon so it's a perfect time for a little thread I like to call Grading the Supervillains.
Not on their movies, or the actor's portrayal, but on their primary motivations and how close their first evil plot's got them to those goals.

We start with Thanos (2018 Avengers: Infinity War)
Thanos, you fucking moron. We need PEOPLE to grow food and process water. You've made sure that everyone has the same resource problem, only now they're grieving.
If your goal was to prove yourself right, you also fail.

"WAAAH Humanity sucks!"
You suck.

Baron von Strucker (2015/Avengers: Age of Ultron)
We now know that Scarlet Witch had powers before she met you. So instead of making superbeings, you found a pair of Jewish-Roma mutants and conned them. And STILL lost.
You are a failure.

Baron Zemo (2017/Captain America: Civil War)
Realized that the only way to destroy the Avengers was to get them to destroy each other.
Effectively destroyed the Avengers.

Arnim Zola (2011/Captain America: The First Avenger)
Joined HYDRA, made Bucky a supersoldier, then got out of Germany with your head intact. Impressive.

Red Skull (2011/Captain America: The First Avenger)
So your thesis is that your manifestation after taking the super-soldier serum is the superior being to the dreamy blonde with the gorgeous blue eyes?
And you're going to eat an energy field bigger than your head.

Loki (2011/Thor)
You're inviting your real parent and his army to your house so your adoptive father can kill him in a big trap to prove your worthiness as his son.
Kind of a misread on Odin here, who is clearly sick and tired of this.
Fangirls are gonna love you, though.

Crossbones (2014/Captain America: The Winter Soldier)
Once a stooge, always a stooge. But hey, everyone needs a henchman who doesn't question the plan.
C (Suggest you look into finding a lab partner for next assignment)

Alexander Pierce (2014/Captain America: The Winter Soldier)
So you want to kill Nick Fury. Points for realizing the Winter Soldier was the only one who could pull it off but man that was risky when Fury knew the guy who could match him.
Still, solid try.

Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (Whatever the first Hulk movie was)
You just want one thing: a super-solder you can control.
Instead, you get the Hulk, a super-something that can't even control himself. Out of the guy your kid's in love with.

Obadiah Stane (2008/Iron Man)
Tony's going to stop making weapons, so you want to kill him. Dude, Tony makes weapons without even knowing he makes weapons. You could've set up a patsy for the weapons sales and kept working with the golden goose.

Stealing someone else's tech, trying to sell it for weaponry, all classic stuff. You failed and died, but did it in a fabulously gruesome manner.

Hela (2017/Thor: Ragnarok)
You wanted Asgard and you wanted to kill people and you got it. You are absolutely fulfilling your role as a Death Goddess. They had to bring about the End of the World to slow you down.
Is there a grade higher than A? Because that's what you get.
