We do have good old fashioned evil villains. They're us.
We're the ones destroying the world, killing wildlife, and enslaving the innocent. We're not doing it with a space aged death ray, but by emitting carbon where we don't need. We're not putting chains on the people living down the block and selling them into slavery, but we are supporting slavery when we buy T-shirts made of cotton from Xinjiang whose culture and religion are slowing being erased.
Classic comic book villains look pretty shallow and vanilla when you learn what we're doing thats far worse.
