There's no denying that Marvel Comics have made their superheroes just as famous on the
big screen as the comic book page - but it didn't come without some problems.
While the Avengers may be dominating the box office, the X-Men churning out sequels and
spinoffs by the year, and even Deadpool becoming a blockbuster hit, the road here isn't all
smooth sailing.
And the worst moments can be hard to forget.
Here are 10 Marvel Movie Moments That Outraged Fans.
Emo Spider-Man The moment Tobey Maguire was cast as Peter
Parker was enough of a shock.
But the actor pulled off the challenge in two Spider-Man films, getting better from
one to the next.
Then Spider-Man 3 happened, and Peter had a bit of a personality crisis.
Director Sam Raimi was probably going for some offbeat laughs, but the insane antics
of "emo Spider-Man" turned of most fans, and helped kill the franchise fast.
Jean Grey Kills Cyclops Fans may have forgotten about Jean Grey going
crazy and murdering Professor X in X-Men 3, since Bryan Singer apparently did, too, returning
him to life in Days of Future Past.
But as bad as it was to see him killed, Cyclops faced and even worse fate.
The first two movies had failed to deliver the eye-blasting leader fans knew and loved,
but why director Brett Ratner thought it was smart to have Jean kill him off, in the first
minutes of the movie - OFF SCREEN - is a question that can never be answered.
Fantastic Four's Galactus The first Fantastic Four may not have been
perfect, but it stopped short of making unforgivable mistakes - something that can't be said for
the sequel.
We'll never know why anyone thought it wise to put Jessica Alba in the worst blue contacts
and bleach-blonde wig we've ever seen, but when the fan-favorite Marvel villain Galactus
became a cloud in space, the fans turned their backs completely.
Fantastic Four's Final Fight Why kill a movie franchise just once, when
you can pull it off twice?
Fans had nothing but hope for Josh Trank to reinvent Marvel's Fantastic Family, but by
the time it released, reports of studio interference and massive reshoots made it clear nobody
was happy with the movie going to theaters.
There was plenty wrong with the reboot, but the soulless, boring, and downright awful
final battle put the previous version of the team to shame.
Daredevil's Seesaw Battle Star Ben Affleck may not have been the reason
that the Daredevil movie fell flat, but it's hard to get fans to agree on what WAS... until
you mention the playground fight scene with Elektra.
In hindsight, a movie in which a woman fighting a blind man on a see-saw seemed totally plausible
probably isn't going to be a hit with everyone.
The movie may have dumber moments, but it was this scene that started the eyes rolling
until the final credits.
The Mandarin When it was announced that Tony Stark would
finally battle the evil Mandarin in Iron Man 3, Marvel fans were thrilled - or at least
curious to see how the studio would handle the villain, originally a pretty obvious racial
stereotype.
The outrage started when Sir Ben Kingsley was cast in the role, but the other shoe fell
when even his version was revealed to be the performance of a bumbling actor - one massive
joke from director Shane Black that tons of Marvel fans found anything but funny.
Storm vs. Toad Look on any list of the worst comic book movie
moments, or dumbest lines of dialogue, and you're guaranteed to find Storm's lame zinger
("what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning).
Avengers director Joss Whedon has since claimed credit for the line, meant as an actual joke,
and never intended to be read as a tough-talking one-liner.
It might be the worst moment in Bryan Singer's run on the mutant team, and it's one that
fans or critics will never forget.
Wolverine's Magic Bullet What's the one thing that could make a clunky,
confused, cheesy Wolverine movie worse than an absolute butchering of Deadpool?
How about delivering an Adamantium bullet to the hero's brain, making sure he'd never
remember his own origin story.
Since it made the previous two hours completely meaningless to the larger series, and actually
caused even MORE continuity problems, fans were justified in hating what the studio had
done to one of its most beloved stars and characters.
The Death of Coulson After shining in a small Iron Man role, Agent
Phil Coulson started moving up in the MCU, becoming a full blown main cast member in
Iron Man 3 and The Avengers.
And just when fans couldn't love Coulson or actor Clark Gregg any more, he got his most
badass moment standing up to Loki himself... before getting a spear through his chest,
and dying minutes later.
It made the Avengers a team, but outraged and crushed fans everywhere...
almost as much as when Marvel returned Coulson from the dead for Agents of SHIELD.
So... take your pick.
Deadpool's Debut For years, Ryan Reynolds had fans convinced
that he would make the perfect Deadpool, and he finally got his chance... as a back-up
character and villain in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
His debut as the un-powered Wade Wilson proved the studio had gotten the casting right, but
by the time he was revealed, mutated, scarred, and inexplicably silenced, it was as disappointing
as the rest of the movie.
Thankfully, it earned him a second shot.
Those are just some of the Marvel Movie Moments that had fans furious, turned off, or fed
up.
But which ones have we missed?
