The MCU‘s newest villain death breaks a major villain trend in the franchise in a suitably dramatic and exciting fashion. The MCU timeline hasn’t been short of villains or antagonists of any variety for some obvious reasons, with a good chunk of Marvel’s most iconic supervillains having made their debut over the course of the close to two decades the franchise has now been running. A lot of said villains have already had their stories cut shorter than their comic counterparts, as plenty of antagonists have died in their first-ever MCU appearance after squaring up against a Marvel hero.
