Summary
The Marvelswas not a perfect motion picture , but it constitute a payoff to form for theMCU- regrettably , that also included reduplicate past mistake with the movie ’s scoundrel , Dar - Benn . In the jumper cable - up to the spillage of theCaptain Marvelsequel , the question hang over what kind of villain could pose a pregnant scourge to Captain Marvel , whose as - yet unequalled power level visualise her intimately solo Thanos . Rather than introduce avillain more potent than Thanosin a non - Avengers movie , however , Marvel instead hamstrung the eponymic heroes by causing them to switch position when they used their force - which was a solid MacGuffin .
The Marvelsalso armed the villainous Dar - Bennwith a weapon powerful enough to release the heroes ' light - based power against them in junction with the already mighty Universal Weapon . In tandem with her exceptional hand - to - hand fight power ( a staple fibre forMCU characters without world power ) , this give Dar - Benn the power to stand up to the triad . At least , she did for a spell , though she still break to deliver a threat that genuinely felt like it put Danvers and company in danger .

The Marvels' Villain Repeats Guardians Of The Galaxy’s Ronan Problem
Cast
Despite Zawe Ashton ’s olympian public presentation , which helps to make up Dar - Benn ’s relative want of power with her sinister good sense of condemnation , there is no getting around the fact thatDar - Benn is a clearly mortal Kree . While Kree are critical to Marvel Comics and many plot lines , as villains - peculiarly solo ones - they barely contain a candle tothe MCU ’s most powerful hoagy . This diminishes the scourge that such a scoundrel can position , and it was already endure by theGuardians of the Galaxyarch - scoundrel , Ronan the Accuser .
The Marvels tells a moderately aboveboard narrative by MCU Multiverse Saga standards , but its exciting close has heavy implication for the wider MCU .
Ronan the Accuser was a significant threat to the Guardians because the ragtag squad of drifter are n’t super - powered themselves - without counting Star Lord ’s transitory Celestial powers . Even still , what made Ronan a threat to the Guardians and beyond was his self-command of the Power Stone , without which he might have been subdued comparatively easy . Ronan , being an above - middling Kree in monomania of a knock-down artillery ( that spews out purple energy , no less ) , represent already well - trodden ground , andyet Dar - Benn fills fundamentally the same function . Only this sentence , she is up against one of the universe ’s most knock-down beings .
How Dar-Benn Ranks Against Other MCU Villains
From her menacing demeanor to her sympathetic motive , Dar - Benn ticks a circumstances of box , but she was n’t given much time to shine . Her ignoble defeat as a outcome of being too underpowered to maintain two bangles at once , meanwhile , was enough to affirm just how meek she was even against the young and inexperient Kamala Khan . Yetshe was still able of bringing about revelatory conditionsthrough her schemes and political influence while holding sway over the universe of an integral planetas the de facto " Supremor . " For this rationality , she already ranks above Ronan the Accuser .
That is also not to mention that she held her own againstThe Marvels , reaching an untimely end as a result of her hubris . Dar - Benn does not pursue power for power ’s sake , either , playact out of a pitiless and rigid commitment to her fight people . This nearly put her on par with sympathetic villains like Thanos and Namor - who are rank among the best MCU scoundrel . Without enough meter to beam , however , and with some questionable net decisions , Dar - Benn is somewhere in the middle when it comes to equate her with the entire MCU rogues gallery .
