Steppenwolf (Justice League, 2017)

Steppenwolf is the main antagonist of the 2017 film, Justice League. He is also the uncle of Darkseid.

Why He Sucks
This article is only focusing on Steppenwolf from Joss Whedon's theatrical cut of Justice League.
 * 1) Steppenwolf has no personality other than being a genocidal pervert.
 * 2) His design looks too similar to Shinnok from Mortal Kombat X.
 * 3) He's a lamer version of Thanos and mostly Loki.
 * 4) * Both of them are the main antagonists of their respective films (mh:awfulmovies:Justice League and Avengers: Infinity War/Endgame). The major difference is that, despite carrying a giant lead axe, Steppenwolf got beaten by 6 heroes whilst Thanos beat nearly 30 heroes with his bare hands, regardless of whether he was using the Infinity Gauntlet or not, before wiping out half of all life in the universe.
 * 5) * He also basely a Loki wannabe as he is trying to do some one liners with some quotes ripped fits more Loki then Steppenwolf.
 * 6) ** "You're all too weak to see the truth!" just before Superman comes in to beat him
 * 7) ** "No protectors here. No Lanterns. No Kryptonian. This world will fall, like all the others."
 * 8) He has a bland, boring, plain, monochromatic color scheme of grayish-blue and beige, whereas Marvel's Thanos (as mentioned above) has a bright, eye-catching color scheme of purple skin and gold-and-blue armor/tunic.
 * 9) Steppenwolf also barely appeared in the film, despite being the main antagonist.
 * 10) He calls himself the "End of Worlds". However, he doesn't live up to that alias since he got beaten up by 6 heroes (especially Superman) and got killed by his own Parademons after his axe was destroyed.
 * 11) Say what you will about Ronan the Accuser from Guardians of the Galaxy, but his actions made more sense compared to Steppenwolf's.
 * 12) Steppenwolf also wants to use Mother Boxes just to turn Earth into a "New Apokolips". Apokolips was NOT created synthetically!
 * 13) * This is because Joss Whedon almost completely rewrote and reshot Zack Snyder's original version.
 * 14) He's basically a rip-off of Lyric from mh:crappygames:Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, as both have a "I'm gonna destroy the world because I'm evil!" personality.
 * 15) His defeat is a rip-off from both Scar from The Lion King and Pitch Black from Rise of the Guardians. Steppenwolf has a mental breakdown after his axe is destroyed and his Parademons promptly tear him to pieces, making it too similar to Wicked Witch of the West's pointed witch hat (which commands the winged monkeys and the Winkie guards) from Wizard Of Oz.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) His armor looks similar to its New 52 version, which is good.
 * 2) Much like the Joker, who had his characterization redeemed, he has a different design, more screen-time and a better motivation in Zack Snyder's Justice League.
 * 3) * Instead of planning to destroy the world just because he wants to, the ZSJL Steppenwolf wants to conquer Earth in order to regain his honor and convince Darkseid that he's still worthy.
