Unbelievably stupid villain(spoilers, but who gives a shit)


So the bad guy see's three rando teenagers murdering him at some point in the future, believes he can alter the future, but he goes about doing it in the stupidest way possible. When he finds them, they don't have powers, don't know each other, and don't know him, so there is currently no reason for them to be together and killing him some day...until he repeatedly goes after them and makes all those things happen!

He's supposed to be a billionaire( I think) so he just as easily could have bought his way onto their good sides and removed any reason to kill him.

Or even better, he knows he dies in his New York building, so just don't be there and move to LA.

and to top it off, the movie doesn't even follow through on this and it was Dakota that killed him for some reason! Awful!

Didn't he say that he had to steal all the technology used to track the girls? Strange for a billionaire...

He stole access to the NSA's spying capabilities, something even a billionaire can't buy.

First I liked the movie a bit but you are right about the villain being weak. Ezekial first Debuted in J. Michael Stracinski's Spider-Man run as a good guy and was revealed to be a bad guy later. He at first is a mentor to Spider-Man. I've only read his first appearance but there is no way around it. It was a bad adaptation of him. It's obvious they just wanted an evil version of Spider-Man for the villain and chose him.

Okay well how about trying this, Sony. Have him look like a good guy for the first half and then have an obligatory twist where the characters learn he's the villain. (I have not seen the movie so I cannot say what the hell they go with)

He starts off evil shooting the mother of the main character with a gun along with some other people while she is pregnant with her so he can steal the spider she found. Cause he wants it for experiments.
