Guardians of the galaxy 3 spoiler
@Jens_Rasmussen
He has a clear goal. He's a scientist, who want to create a "perfect race", so he does see death of others as nothing but another step in his process.
He even goes as far, as to cause a planet-sized extinction, since the civilization he created wasn't up to his standard.
The difference between him and other villains is, that in his case, you know exactly why he's a threat. And that makes him seriously menacing.
@Jens_Rasmussen Well, they usually try, but it way too often doesn't land at all.
@Jens_Rasmussen Oh, trust me... The bar is so deep underground, noone can survive the dive to take a look at it anymore.
