Many fans like to argue that Supreme Leader Snoke was no different than the Emperor since his backstory wasn't revealed in the OT, but the viewer had no preconceived knowledge about the Star Wars universe in the original movies and the Emperor was actually charming and charismatic (albeit that was more in the prequels), something Snoke lacks. We have Supreme Leader Snoke, a lame ass excuse of a Palpatine clone with a ridiculous name reserved for a fanfic OC villain. They mostly come across as one-dimensional villains that lack any depth, nor any motivation why they are so fascistic. With a very few exceptions, I'd be hard pressed to call any members of the First Order interesting or compelling in some way. I have several problems with the First Order, such as being such powerful superpower in spite of being underdogs in the new timeline, but lets focus in its individual characters.

Literally every theory regarding who is Snoke would have been better than what we got in the movie

They are either generic buffoons or pathetic pushovers. You don't need to put more effort into this and I actually have a feeling that there is a mandate preventing villains from being too sympathetic, cool or even threatening. But it seems Lucasfilms' policy is just make them an Empire member and poof, you have a bad guy. They got their stuff get together somewhat by making great villains like Ego the Living Planet (who is pure evil, but his motivation makes sense for him) and Vulture (who is likable and one of the highpoints of Homecoming, a movie I particularly didn't care about).

Until this year, Marvel Studios has had a bad track record of forgettable and bland villains both in their movies and tv shows: for every Loki was outnumbered by Malekith and Killian for every Kingpin was outnumbered by Nobu and Harold Meachum. I refer mostly to the movies though rather than any of the comics or the Rebels cartoon, both of which I have not read or watch (I've seen only the premiere of Rebels and got turned off immediately, but that is besides the point), so I won't include dudes like Thrawn into this rant, or any villains from the comics either. The villains under the Disney brand have been nothing short of disappointment and wasted potential in my opinion. It's has been a long time since I wrote in ComicVine (my last blog was written in March of last year ffs), but I decided that this is the best way I could convey my thoughts about a current trend in Star Wars. Disclaimer: this is an editorial where I speak my personal opinion about recent Star Wars antagonists and it contains spoilers from The Last Jedi and Star Wars: Battlefront II.
