Alduin was a good antagonist. His plan was lacking, but what do you expect? He is a dragon. Arrogance is part of their nature. He didn't think the dragonborn could ever kill him. The Tongues couldn't. They had to launch him through time to get rid of him, and even then he came back. He was the Thurri, the master, and none could stand before him. He really didn't think he needed a plan. Alduin is very straight forward with you. He'll kill you and eat your soul. No plot, subterfuge, planning, not even a plan. Just get back on the saddle and continue eating souls until he had consumed the whole world.

Nice & simple.
