Ronan the Accuser (Marvel Cinematic Universe)



Ronan the Accuser is a major antagonist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, serving as the main antagonist of Guardians of the Galaxy, a minor antagonist in Captain Marvel and a mentioned character in Avengers: Endgame.

He was portrayed by Lee Pace.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He is yet another generic Marvel film villain, who only exists for the heroes to have a foe. Similar to Malekith the Accursed.
 * 2) His schemes and personality are super generic and cartoon-like to the point where Ronan feels like another servant of Thanos, rather than a stand-alone supervillain worthy of his own movie.
 * 3) He hates all Xandarians just because his father and grandfather died in the Kree Empire's war with them and wants to eradicate them because they are a disease.
 * 4) He sees the Skrulls as "infestation".
 * 5) Then there's the constant monologuing.
 * 6) For some reason, his hammer (which carries the Power Stone) is his sole weakness where he's invincible in every other format.
 * 7) For some reason he version didn't appear among Thanos' forces in Endgame.
 * 8) He's just as bad in Captain Marvel where the Kree were focused on, and he didn't even care about his own people, showing nothing but show disrespect, threatening and berating the Kree Starforce for their failures, and even Yon-Rogg despises Ronan for nuking planets indiscriminately.
 * 9) Somehow he managed to make Thanos, his boss look like a saint in comparison. Yes, you read that right. As least Thanos had good intentions, and a tragic backstory that actually makes him sympathetic.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The fact this version of Ronan is more evil than his comics counterpart might surprise a couple viewers.
