Over-complicated schemes

Guardians of the Galaxy was pretty awesome from this point of view "“ Ronan wanted the Orb, Ronan got the Orb, Ronan was destroyed. And there are a few other movies that are pretty basic. Which is great.

And then there are the others "“ The Avengers, basically the entire Dark Knight Trilogy, Iron Man 3, The Winter Soldier, Civil War, and then some. In these movies, it is unbelievable how improbable the plans of the villains are; they always rely on events they can’t even be sure will occur.

And even if the movies turn out to be great (The Dark Knight, Civil War), you still end up being amazed at how lucky the villains are. And this greatly reduces their evil, scheming aura.

Unfortunately, this trend will continue. Apparently, Darkseid is after the Anti-Life Equation and he will probably have one hell of a plan to get it. And then there is Thanos, with a plan to end all plans (if he had one in the first place, involving giving away an Infinity Stone, empowering an enemy, creating superpowerful superheroes, and what not).
