Most Useless Scene in an MCU Movie

[AJBopp]

Not counting end credits or Stan Lee cameos. Something that was actually supposed to be part of the plot but ended up being extraneous.

For me, it was the Miriam Sharpe scene in Civil War. Came out of nowhere, went nowhere, and did nothing to drive the story. If you remove all references to Sharpe and her son, not one other detail or line of dialog in the movie needs to change.

Is that the lady who yelled AT stark? Cause her son died. If so I think that was suppose to make us understand why anti government Stark was so supportive of the bill. But j dont remember the ladies name so I could be way off.


The Scene from AOU of Thor receiving a vision by being electrocuted in a bath tub or something. I mean he still had no idea about Thanos and him collecting stones instead he went out to prevent Ragnarok. Makes most of that vision pointless. Since it seemed to be warning him of Thanos and the Stones. Feel like they other plans when they made that scene. But whatever I guess it served a purpose in the end. They didnt have to explain why Thor went after Surtur, because the vision he was worried about Ragnarok. But honestly they could have dont that with a couple more lines of exposition by Thor in the opening of the movie.

That's the character, but I don't see Tony's support of the bill changing at all of her never met her.

Stark seemed to very anti government and not trusting of authority someone had to put a human face on the collateral damage as his catalyst.


The I'm always angry scene from Avengers. It was cool but doesnt make sense. He clearly did not have the Hulk under control and therefore he couldnt have always been angry. Maybe he was saying hes always angry but has enough self control to stay calm untill he wants Hulk to come out. Iono I found the whole thing to be more flash then substance. But like I said it was a cool scene while the Thor vision came out if nowhere in AOU and didnt make much sense to me.

I don't agree with OP at all. Other have already given reasons why.

Also, airport fight and elevator fight? Really? By that logic, almost every single fight scene ever is useless. Come on!

For me, it's The Leader tease in Incredible Hulk. Also, everyone trying lift Thor's hammer in AoU, but especially Cap. He slides it a little and...? Now even Mjolnir is destroyed.

The Leader tease is only irrelevant because there was never a sequel. However, they could have used the Leader in other movies so, yes, I'd agree it is one of the more irrelevant things because they could have done more with him later.

I would say the whole Betty Ross relationship that was tossed aside is more irritating though.

For me, it might be because I didn't like how the airport fight scene was depicted. I loved the final battle between Cap and Stark tho.

Honestly, I felt that was the catalyst that drove him to support the bill. His entire speech about supporting it was based on that. There's the old saying, a thousand deaths is a statistic but the death of one person who you know personally (or meeting his mother personally and seeing her grief in this case) is a tragedy. That scene wasn't just some extraneous scene. It was pivotal to the whole plot.

Yea but i will give AJ that they didnt need it in that Stark could have supported it for whatever reason. Maybe just being practical. But for the movie we got yea that scene was important to Tony motivation. Honestly I find that more vital then the whole Russian super solider sub plot that Zemo used to get everyone to that facility so he could show Stark the tape. Like I get it and it works in the movie but I feel like the way he went about it was more convoluted then it had to be. I guess having them being super solider is gonna further motivate Cap to do whatever it takes to get there but I feel like after framing Bucky and splitting the Avengers down the middle he coulda found a better way to get them in one place and show that video. Unless theres another reason that local was nessecary but I dont recall. Just that he used the Russian SS that he shot in the head as bait to get everyone there and show that video.

I miss betty. Plus she was bruce's lois lane for generations. It does not fell right to not have her. Why is it the male cast (bruce, war machine and red skull) get recast but they throw the female cast away? (jane, betty, Sharon carter) Just recast them also.

The leader was a waste also.

There I think it's more in to the believability of the plot. Zemo fell into being one of those villains that knows everything and every event he plots just falls perfectly into place with everyone doing exactly what he predicted they would do.

I think they needed a scene to drive Tony emotionally to support the bill rather than he just decides to do it because he leans that way because he really doesn't. He's the guy that told the government to stick it when they wanted to confiscate his armor and make him produce it for them. He doesn't lean toward answering to self-proclaimed authorities.

The vision with Heimdall I think sort of works well with his fate and that of many Asgardians in Infinity War.

What? That scene was the catalyst that makes Tony fully support registration.

For me it's not a scene but a film and I like the film but all of Incredible Hulk could be erased from the MCU and it changes nothing. We get Bruce's back story in Avengers, Ross and Banner haven't shared a scene since Ross was brought back and Banner's relationship with Betty is never mentioned outside of the Betty and Veronica joke in AoU and even Abomination has never been mentioned again in the films. Did Luke Cage even mention Banner ripping apart Harlem? No clue.

Yeah I think the only mention of the film was by Banner in Avengers when he mentions Harlem. Though you can maybe say the meditation techniques Banner uses at the Incredible Hulk gives him more control in Avengers, though that's a stretch.

The airport scene from Civil War. That film was rock solid, and didn't need the over the top goofy scene.
