DC Villains Aren't Just Thin, They're Terrible

Zod had some of the most juvenile dialogue ever.
But also some of the best.
General Zod: Look at this. We could have built a new Krypton in this squalor, but you chose the humans over us. I exist only to protect Krypton. That is the sole purpose for which I was born. And every action I take, no matter how violent, or how cruel, is for the greater good of my people. And now, I have no people. My soulthat is what you have taken from me!
[He lunges at Superman and attacks him in his rage and pain at having lost his purpose]
General Zod: I am going to make them suffer, Kal-El. These humans you've adopted, I will take them all from you, one by one!
Truly epic and not at all one dimensional -

Zod wasn't that bad. I'd say he beat quite a few MCU villains. But that's kind of to be expected, since he's Superman's main baddie.
Lex was pretty indefensible. All I can say in his favour is that Eisenberg's bizarre performance might've worked as a different character in a different film
Doomsday was basically nothing. I found it so weird that a film that tried to be serious and complex decided to end it with a 50 foot CGI monster villain. Showing him in the trailers spoiled Superman's death, too.
Enchantress and her brother were just bad. Even without the dancing (though that would be an improvement) they were just generic bad guys trying to destroy the world. Little motivations between them, and we didn't even get a name out of the brother. -

And here is what Marvel has provided us with.
Whiplash - your Daddy ripped of my Daddy so I am going hit you with my whips
Justin Hammer - I going to stamp my feet until I get what I want
Malkeith - I want complete darkness just for the sake of it
Zemo - I want to a bunch of people hit each other just to feel good -

What's your point? This thread is about DC villains. I thought Zemo was good.
Marvel also provided us with some amazing villains like Loki, Wilson Fisk and Kilgrave. Some good/decent ones like Yellowjacket or Iron Monger or even Ronan (I don't think he was as bad as people say).
I think Enchantress is the low point when it comes to villains. The hula dancing does not help. -

Malkeith - I want complete darkness just for the sake of it
He was a poor villain but to be fair he wanted darkness for his kind to thrive again.

Zod was a better villain than anything MCU has got. If you weren't a sad cave troll you would have realised that Zod had his reasons, and some would not even see him as a villain. He had very strong arguments to do what he did.

I'm a Marvel fan, but it's not like Marvel has any real good villains either. Better than DC, but still quite a lot of bad ones.
