For me, Loki has been the best villain in MCU, and he set the bar pretty high, Hiddleston is just brilliant with the character.

Loki, Obadiah, Red Skull, Zola, Price are great MCU villans, the rest are worthless.

The Winter Soldier was pretty cool.
Yeah I can sense a pretty strong hate bandwagon for this film, battle-ready even before it's in cinemas. Although, I'm gonna keep an open mind to all scenarios. I think it's going to be an immensely enjoyable film but maybe the pre-emptive haters will end up being right about some things. I can see there being excessive humour, I can see there being unwanted humour from Ultron etc etc....plus the Hot Toys over-saturation has turned me a bit cynical.

Yeah, but I don't count him as a villain, he wasn't plotting evil stuff, he was just a weapon/plot device.
This. While I haven't seen every clip or read every spoiler what I have seen is another misdirection from Marvel. Ultron in the very first trailer seems a distant memory now. Still looking forward to seeing tho.

Maybe cutting back on the number of trailers and TV spots would have given the haterz less to gnaw on?

I like how Red Skull and Zola were portrayed but they were horribly developed.

I thought the lack of screen time really hurt their character development, mainly Red Skull. For most of the movie when we do see him, he's really just doing something evil, but his motivation and reason just seemed way to simple and cliche to me. It's explained real briefly on why he is the way he is. He wants to be powerful, like a god? That's pretty much why he's evil. Compare that to Loki in Thor 1, his character is fleshed out, you can even understand where he's coming from and why he wants to kill Thor. Zola didn't really have much to do either in TFA, I did love his cameo in TWS though, but I think there's a reason there isn't really a demand from the fans (outside of hardcore Cap fans) to see either guy return. Hell, Hot Toys hasn't even made a Zola figure, that's saying something.
The acting from both of them was great though, Weaving was awesome as Skull.

Why would they? He doesn't look like this.
Which is a mistake. They turned him into a tv instead of a robot. Just think of all of the toys they could have sold.

Yea that's my point, he's hasn't really been developed into a great villain.
I think TWS left enough room for him to comeback and return in a form closer to the comics. He would make for a great visual and unique villain.
