The MCU has a lot of memorable scenes — from devastating moments like Tony Stark's sacrificial snap with the Infinity Gauntlet to hilarious ones like Agatha Harkness singing "Agatha All Along."
However, there’s also a fair number of scenes people find cringey, whether it’s because a joke didn’t land or a piece of dialogue didn’t sit right with them. Recently, we asked the BuzzFeed Community to share those moments.
Here are 18 Marvel scenes people think are the cringiest:
1. "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness had practically a catalogue of cringedom to choose from. With all the graphics money can buy, his third eye just looked like Annoying Orange rather than 'Oohh look! He has a third eye!'"

3. "Bruce and Natasha's whole dynamic just feels weird to me. The scene in Age of Ultron when Bruce falls on her breasts is also super cringey to me."
"The Banner/Nat relationship gives me secondhand embarrassment every time. 😬"

4. "Hey, Big Guy. Sun's getting real low. 🤓"

5. "Definitely the Steve and Sharon kiss in Captain America: Civil War. They only hinted at a romantic storyline for them. They never showed any type of development."
"It was so weird, especially since he knew by then she was Peggy's niece."
"As much as I love Captain America as a character, I found the fact that he had a romantic relationship with Peggy Carter’s (his gf from when he was in WWII) niece after meeting her at Peggy’s funeral to be so disgusting and out of character."

6. "That part in Avengers: Endgame where they collect all the female heroes just for a screenshot 'she is not alone'...is so empty."
"They did so little with female characters throughout MCU and did them wrong so many times, and then it was like in-your-face, look how cool we are, how many women we have, girl power, yass queen... and in the end — no Nat's funeral, nothing..."

7. "The scene in Thor: Love and Thunder where Jane Foster is trying to come up with her Mighty Thor catchphrase was super cringe…and when she finally said the catchphrase while fighting, I was like yikes."
"I know it was meant to be funny, but the delivery was awkward and felt forced."
"I let out the biggest sigh when that happened, and the person next to me laughed, LOL."

"I get that it was maybe popular at the time, but watching it back is just really cringy."

Some scenes aren't "cringey" just because of a bad joke or an awkward encounter. There are a few MCU scenes that make people cringe because the content makes them genuinely uncomfortable to watch.
15. "When Seamtress made Peter Parker undress in front of her in Spider-Man: Far From Home."
"If this was a man telling a 15/16-year-old girl to undress in front of him, people would be outraged. But because it's a women telling a 15/16 year-old-boy to undress in front of her, it's played for comedy."

16. "The relationship between Tony Stark and the reporter from Brown University [Christine Everhart] is so awkward."

17. And finally: "Hands down, when Joss Whedon wrote the despicable line in Age of Ultron where Black Widow says her infertility makes her a 'monster.' How f*cking triggering is that for anyone watching that movie who couldn’t conceive?"
"Human worth should never be linked to reproductive capabilities."
