Zenos: The Big Bad (The Feedback Thread, Part 1)

[Crushnight]

My big issue with Zenos as a villain is he is just not entertaining since he has come back.

I don't care if a villain is sympathetic, deep or fitting for the narrative in the grand scheme of things. If I do not find them entertaining or want them on screen they are a bad villain to me.

Zenos as a character is simple on surface but deeper than a cursory glance will give you, but he failed on a basic level of being entertaining since his return that I just want rid of the man permanently and I actually liked Zenos in 4.0 which makes it feel worse that he has become so boring to watch.

He hasn't had much opportunity to be entertaining since his return; Varis, Emet-Selch, and Elidibus all superseded him as the preeminent threat we needed to deal with, while Zenos (and his new pal Danny Boy) have been in the background setting up what's to come in 6.0. 5.4 was mostly Vylbrand politics; 5.5 was more about freeing Tiamat than anything else, though Paglth'an did have us getting our feet wet against the Telophori.
