Minority Mindset

Makeup artist Giovanna Ponci (according to Daniel Richtman) posted a photo of a wrap gift given to everyone working on the Marvel movie Avengers: Doomsday. The gift was a bag featuring artwork of all 28 characters in the film, and 10 of them were shown in brand new costumes that they’ll be wearing in future projects. Hints about new costumes for some of the actors have already been appearing online, and this gift offers another glimpse at what’s to come for a few Marvel favorites.

Episode 4 of ‘Welcome to Derry,’ titled “The Great Swirling Apparatus of Our Planet’s Function,” shows how Pennywise first arrived on Earth. The episode also includes separate, frightening attacks on Will Hanlon and Marge Truman—Truman’s attack is particularly disturbing. However, the way Will is attacked makes viewers wonder if the series will significantly differ from the original novel.

This episode briefly recaptures the lighthearted tone of the previous one. Guy emerges from the car he used after encountering the Disembodied Leg Chamber and finds himself in Jasper’s surprisingly large parking garage. He’s immediately confronted by Jasper, who’s angry about the person who warned Guy about his predicament. Guy, genuinely surprised, is offended that Jasper would be upset with him. He dramatically accuses Jasper of using him, almost in tears at the thought of being manipulated by such an obviously villainous vampire. It makes me realize how wrong I was to suspect, back in episode three, that Guy might be playing a double game. Guy Anatole doesn’t bother with strategy; he simply says whatever’s on his mind and then gets upset when it doesn’t go his way.

This list ranks all the live-action villains from the Marvel Cinematic Universe who appeared in 2025, from the most compelling to the least impressive. We cover everything from grounded, street-level enemies to universe-threatening foes.

A common frustration with Marvel’s recent movies, particularly in the Multiverse Saga, is introducing interesting new characters and then never using them again. While Phases 4 and 5 brought in several important heroes from the comics, they haven’t been included in later films. As the saga progresses towards its conclusion, these characters seem to vanish entirely after their initial appearances.

As a huge fan of Dungeons & Dragons and immersive experiences, I’m really excited about Tales From Woodcreek. It’s a totally unique show where the Dungeon Dudes are actually playing a D&D campaign, but they’ve built this incredible real-life set with escape room puzzles and challenges. They release a new episode every week on their YouTube channel, and it’s become a must-watch for me!

However, things began to shift in 2019 with the debut of The Mandalorian on Disney+. Disney+’s launch finally gave Star Wars a streaming home of its own, after previous animated series like The Clone Wars and Rebels had appeared on networks such as Cartoon Network, Netflix, and Disney XD.
