Throughout the comic book movies of the MCU and the DCU, there have been multiple antagonists who deserved far better endings than they were given. Even before the movies of the MCU cemented comic book movies as one of the most successful genres at the box office, heroes and villains from the pages of Marvel, DC, and other comics were being adapted to the big screen.

The film’s ending sees him killed by Jean Grey unleashing the full extent of her power, erasing him from existence. For a villain as substantial as Apocalypse to be killed in such a fashion after a single appearance felt cheap and undeserved, even though X-Men: Apocalypse didn’t adapt the character all that well in the first place.

It brought the franchise’s narrative forward considerably, explored the characterization of two core Avengers, and killed off a major supporting character. Ragnarok also introduced Hela into the MCU, the immensely powerful Asgardian God of Death and Thor’s long-lost older sister.

Ra’s al Ghul’s death could have seen the trilogy address his immortality in the comics in some way, though this wasn’t the case. What’s more, his ending coming about as the result of Batman using a loophole in his “no-kill” rule felt far more cheap than it did clever. Ultimately, this contributed to an ending for the villain that was significantly less substantial than he deserved, especially considering his long-standing role as an immortal villain in the source material.
