10 Moments In Superhero Movies That Will Make You Scratch Your Head

Superhero movies have produced some truly iconic scenes throughout cinema history.
Who can forget Christopher Reeve's Superman kneeling before Terence Stamp's General Zod,
prior to breaking his hand and dispatching the villain?
Or Heath Ledger's Joker asking "Why so serious?"?
Or Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark proclaiming "I am Iron Man!"?
But, like anything else in life, with the sublime comes the ridiculous - and the superhero
genre has certainly had its fair share of ridiculous moments as well.
In this video, we'll take a look at just some of them.

Here are ten moments in superhero movies that will make you scratch your head.
Spider-Man 3 2007's Spider-Man 3 was pretty terrible - and
the worst part in the movie was one that definitely left viewers scratching their head.
After being exposed to the Venom symbiote, Peter Parker began behaving differently.
His dance in the jazz club was one thing, but his strut down a busy street en route
to buy a new suit was a different beast entirely.
Parker walked in a rhythmic fashion, eyeing up women, pointing at them in a suggestive
way, did a little spin, emerged from a store wearing a new suit, did a little dance, then
went on his merry way.
What on Earth were Sony thinking?!
Superman In the iconic 1978 Superman movie, Lois Lane
met her demise when aftershocks caused by Lex Luthor's attempts to create a new land
mass for his real estate resulted in her car falling down a crevice.
The subsequent actions of the titular superhero caused fans around the world to scratch their
heads in confusion.
Devastated at Lois' death, Superman flew around the world at super-speed, rewinding time to
bring her back to life and prevent her death from happening again.
Superman has been known to pull powers out of his ass before, but that was just ridiculous.
Superman II If you thought that last entry was ridiculous,
you haven't heard anything yet, as Superman pulled yet another crazy power out of his
ass in the 1980 Superman sequel, Superman II.
It involved Lois Lane again, but the circumstances were very different.
Lois had discovered that Clark Kent and Superman were one and the same, but Clark Kent couldn't
have that, so he went to extreme measures to ensure she forgot that information - he
delivered a big, wet memory-wiping kiss to his long-time love interest!
That's right, a kiss from Clark Kent wiped Lois' memory, so she no longer knew he was
Superman.
Makes perfect sense, right?
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance Nicolas Cage is bat-shit crazy - everyone
knows that - and he's portrayed a number of characters who are pretty damned nuts throughout
his acting career.
Cage played Johnny Blaze AKA Ghost Rider in two different movies based on the character
- and he had a trademark Cage crazy moment in the second one; 2012's Ghost Rider: Spirit
of Vengeance.
It happened when Blaze was interrogating a criminal and the Ghost Rider was trying to
come out.
Blaze went crazy and proclaimed that the "thing" inside him was "SCRAPING AT THE DOOR", leaving
viewers totally puzzled as to what was going on!
X-Men Origins: Wolverine X-Men Origins: Wolverine is arguably the worst
movie in the X-Men franchise.
The 2009 offering saw Hugh Jackman's character's backstory explored and pitted him against
a new foe in the form of Wade Wilson - more commonly known as Deadpool in the comic books.
But this Deadpool was a far cry from the one comic book fans know and love - and the moment
that left fans scratching their heads came when he was unveiled, after having been taken
in by William Stryker and experimented on.
The character - who is known for his smart mouth - had been silenced, with his mouth
literally sealed shut.
It was a genuinely inexplicable decision on Fox's part.
X-Men: Days of Future Past 2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past, unlike
the aforementioned Origins: Wolverine, was one the X-Men franchise's better movies.
It says a lot about Quicksilver, therefore, that he was the best thing about the movie
- his super-speed scene was awesome, as he helped the heroic mutants rescue Magneto from
a cell below the Pentgon.
It was, therefore, a head-scratching realisation when he was subsequently sidelined for the
remainder of the movie.
Not only could he have helped the titular characters some more in their plight, but
he would also have made the movie so much cooler with an extended presence.
Iron Man 3 A big part of Tony Stark's character in the
first two Iron Man movies and The Avengers movie was that he was fated to live with an
arc reactor in his chest for the rest of his life - a big point was made of the fact that
it couldn't be removied.
However, bizarrely, he had it removed on a whim at the end of 2013's Iron Man 3.
People will say he used Extremis to survive the operation to remove the shrapnel from
his heart and the arc reactor itself, but is Tony Stark really that stupid, given how
volatile he knew it was?
And, more to the point, wouldn't it have been mentioned in the movie that he had used Extremis,
given that it would be key information?
Very confusing indeed!
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
surprised almost everyone when it killed off the titular Man of Steel in only Henry Cavill's
second outing as the iconic Kryptonian hero.
It did, however, insinuate that he would return - which we all know he will - but the manner
in which it did so was bizarre.
Superman's funeral took place after Doomsday had killed him, and he was placed in a coffin
and buried, but the camera zoomed in on his coffin to show dirt rising from it, suggesting
he was still alive.
Granted, we all "got" what it meant, but really?
Levitating dirt?
Why was Superman's body causing that to happen?
When you actually think about it, it's really quite odd.
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
was the slightly superior 2007 sequel to 2005's Fantastic Four movie.
That's not to say it was very good though, because it really wasn't, and part of the
reason for that was its terrible depiction of the planet-devouring cosmic being known
as Galactus.
When the gigantic antagonist first appeared on screen in the movie, audiences were aghast
and filled with confusion - he was a gigantic cloud!
The character's potential to look incredible in live action was huge, but Fox opted to
turn him into a damn cloud.
It was one of the silliest decisions in comic book movie history.
Deadpool You may recall that, at the end of 2016's
brilliant Deadpool movie, the final battle took place on a helicarrer that was clearly
a homage of sorts to the S.H.I.E.L.D.
helicarriers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
But there was one particular part of that battle that really made no sense.
When Negasonic Teenage Warhead accidentally destroyed the equipment stabilising the helicarrier,
in order to save his girlfriend Vanessa, Deadpool threw her off the helicarrier inside a glass
chamber.
She fell quite a distance to the ground in the chamber, but emerged without so much as
a scratch or bruise.
Frankly, she should have died or, at the very least, been severely injured by the fall.
