Sorry, I’m too busy laughing at the horrible VFX and hammy acting in that shot to imagine him being a threat

And in all seriousness, I find that the ironic thing about raising the stakes so high is that it becomes more nebulous and vague and therefore less threatening. Many of the Batman films have had intense suspense and emotional stakes despite never expanding the threat past Gotham City. The MCU had villains that threatened the whole planet, then the whole universe (Thanos), and now an infinite multiverse of every timeline blah blah blah (Kang). It’s just words at this point. There is a bad guy, he is mad with power, and the good guys will beat him in the end. You can only raise the ante so far.
