Some might say that a movie is only as good as its villain.
Indeed, there are numerous baddies who can be counted amongthe best in film historyfor one reason or another.
On the other hand, there are villains who are just downright terrible.

Then, the franchise went on… and on… and on.
And like all franchises that are overextended, bad films started to come out.
The worst thing about it, though, is its treatment of Deadpool.
In a franchise as full of fantastic antagonists asStar Wars, this one sticks out like a sore thumb.
She must fight to protect Earth’s inhabitants from an ancient and destructive industry leveraging her newfound power.
And in this genre, that’s a deadly sin.

That’s largely due to films as terrible asDavid Ayer’sSuicide Squad.
From there, the genre only kept going up and up.Sadly, the franchise didn’t.
In it, the world is on the brink of nuclear war.
Outside of them, though,Superman IVhas no redeeming qualities.
Certainly not its villain, who was created for the movie instead of originating from the comics.
There are many things thatSuperman IVmesses up, and this is one of the worst.

The issue is that that probably wasn’t intentional.
The villain somehow manages to be both forgettable and infuriatingly poorly written.
Then, there’sGod’s Not Dead.
That’s what makes her such a bad villainand exactly what makes her so hilarious.
Some movies are so bad that they’re irresistibly fun.Battlefield Earthis just bad.
This shark isn’t supposed to be supernaturally intelligent in any way.
