This is the heart of nearly every superhero story
Everything is fine, villains are bad for wanting change
usually with "villain wants to do something good, but they want to... use FORCE to MAKE it happen!
"
It's honestly maddening because the movies let the heroes use lethal force constantly and without restraint
They don't even have that high ground argument of "We don't kill!" anymore!
Drives me fucking nuts
I dunno, I'd say the stereotypical superhero story usually more has the villain wanting essentially a fascist dictatorship ie "ruling the world", no?
It's funny because when you boil it down, that's really only true of maybe two or three of the big supervillains
Magneto, who basically wants mutant Isreal and how correct he is to want that changes depending on the writer
Dr. Doom, who concocts most of his plans to cheese off Mr. Fantastic and is usually content with ruling Latveria
Count Nefaria, who is pretty much a c-list villain whose most famous act was killing Thunderhawk, another c-list character
Most other Marvel villains have plans that go beyond becoming a fascist dictator
