Villains are definitely not the Sailor Moon manga's, and by extension, SMC's, strong point.
With their unique character designs, they're interesting to look at, but besides a few villains (Galaxia and Prince Diamond comes to mind) the majority were very one-note, with little personality and almost zero character development. The 90's anime on the other hand, did a great job giving personalities to the villains, so it can be kinda painful to now watch what was once an interesting and quirky villain (Mimette is actually a great example; even if she wasn't a "deep" character or a redeemable one, she definitely had a personality in the old anime) become a monster-of-the week villain.
Still, I knew that coming into SMC, so I'm okay with it, because I wasn't expecting this to be a rehash of the 90's anime.
