Summary
Even though theAvengersare the most significant character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe , the serial has n’t always been great at keeping their personality reproducible . Thebest MCU moviesknow how to process the serial ' most iconic hero , consistently characterise them with fantastical dialogue that can be hilarious or heartfelt . Butsometimes , the franchise struggles to maintain the tone of a sure character ’s dialogue across multiple picture , particularly when it comes to the Avengers .
The MCU often see to it a great many writer and directors undertake the task of characterize a given hero , which sometimes results in inconsistencies in their negotiation and conduct . Just as thebest quotation from each Avengers membercan beef up consultation attachment to these beloved characters , so too canawkward lines that run against the grain of established personality traitsand erode this in effect will . It ’s clear that the MCU ca n’t always maintain a discrete character across multiple picture .
With the reveal that Robert Downey Jr. is returning to the MCU as Doctor Doom , Marvel has now set up up Avengers : Secret Wars to live up to the comics .
Captain America, The Avengers
Captain America is a fiber that is deceptively easy for writers to get wrong . Having a background as a soldier , it ’s comfortable to mischaracterize him as a instrument of the American government that obey his orders unquestionably . This could n’t be further from the truth , both in the comedian and the MCU , as the films have frequently demonstrated the duration Steve Rogers is uncoerced to go to in candid rebelliousness of his superiors in orderliness to do what he sees as right .
However , inThe Avengers , writer Joss Whedon could n’t seem to wrap his promontory around this , painting Captain America as a stern rule - follower who work as S.H.I.E.L.D. leadership ’s liason within the team . In the film , he essentially only enunciate this line so that Iron Man can defy him , making Tony Stark seem cool by extension . For the residual of his MCU appearances , Captain America has no issues with defying orders when he feel it ’s necessary , especially inCaptain America : Civil War .
9"Maybe He Didn’t Trust Me To Have EDITH, He Just Trusted Me To Pick Who Should"
Spider-Man, Spider-Man: Far From Home
Peter Parker is an incredibly burnished soul . Though he may be quite young still in the MCU , his proficient genius and overall good decisiveness - making set off off very strong , reflecting the Spider - Man of the comic volume . However , Spider - Man : Far From Homesomewhat mischaracterized Peter as naive in the scene in which Mysterio fox him into give up control of E.D.I.T.H. E.D.I.T.H. is a powerful A.I. developed by Tony Stark , hold to Peter postmortem to encourage him as Tony ’s heir .
Despite knowing him for less than a week , Spider - Man is quick to give up E.D.I.T.H. to Quentin Beck ’s Magneto with the above line . It makes sense for Spider - Man to have self - uncertainty , but Peter ’s reasoning for giving up such a powerful responsibility to a complete stranger twists his characterization in service of the plot . This particular import inSpider - Man ’s MCU journeystands out as beingnonsensical , inappropriate with Peter ’s typical ideology .
8"Because…We…Didn’t Think Of It?"
Bruce Banner, Avengers: Infinity War
While he ’s best make love for being The Hulk , Bruce Banner is also in the running for the smartest soul in the Marvel Cinematic Universe . However , his interactions with Shuri inAvengers : Infinity Warpaint him as leagues behind the prodigy inventor , dumbing Dr. Bruce Banner down to make Shuri reckon good . This encounter when the two discuss how they could off the Infinity Stone power Vision from his head without killing them , engage in some dizzying technobabble .
When Shuri postulate why Dr. Banner and his co-worker did n’t merely " reprogram the synapses to work connectively " , he sheepishly allow in that he did n’t call back of it . For someone that ’s supposed to be as smart as Dr. Bruce Banner , he seems easily outpaced by someone much young , albeit with the benefit of Wakanda ’s futuristic resources . This line is really only there to set Shuri up to talk down to Bruce Banner , prove how much voguish she is at the cost of Hulk ’s role .
The MCU ’s Multiverse is full of major concepts and terms , many of which will probably become even more important in the next few year .
7"Try Me, Beyoncé"
Doctor Strange, Doctor Strange
If there ’s one character that theMCU still struggles to write consistently , it ’s Doctor Stephen Strange . Thepremiere MCU wizard - wieldersometimes flirts with being basically an arcane edition of Tony Stark , conduct a likewise over - inflated self-importance with quips to match . However , there ’s a darker , more serious side to Doctor Strange not present in Iron Manthat can often strike to the wayside when craft his dialogue , which , at the bad of time , do off as a wan imitation of Iron Man ’s far-famed good sense of humor .
The defective single example of these run out jokes is the running laugh fromthe firstDoctor Strangefilm in which Stephen Strange compare Wong to Beyoncé because they both use a mononym . It seems cockeyed that Doctor Strange would n’t translate that such a secretive order of monk would n’t have hear of , or at least , be totally intimate with , an artist even as pop as Beyoncé . Even more cringe - worthy is the following scene depicting Wong listening to Beyoncé , imply that he was only made aware of her existence by this conversation .
6"I Have A Bow And Arrow…None Of This Makes Sense"
Hawkeye, Avengers: Age of Ultron
Despite being the only original retaliator to never have at least one solo film , Hawkeye is amazingly consistent with his characterizations across films . Coming off as something of a puritanic - collar worker of the Avengers , Clint Barton is an browned off kinsfolk military personnel who ofttimes finds the Avengers ' battles incredulous . However , like most superheroes , Hawkeye has a sure degree of self that should be observed with his dialog , something Joss Whedon pretermit out on inAvengers : Age of Ultron .
Almost right away addressing the audience as an admission of the superhero franchise ’s own silliness , Hawkeye confide to Scarlet Witch during his pep talk that he does n’t interpret why he ’s using a arc and arrow . It ’s not like someone else is force Hawkeye to expend his signature tune artillery , making this little cadence of an otherwise genuinely inspiring moment stick out as stick . There are really adept ground why Hawkeye uses archery rather than firearms as a hero , but sacrifice that for the sake of a joke feels out - of - character .
5"Got Any Other Bad Ideas?"
Iron Man, Iron Man 2
Iron Man has a solid title as being the most systematically characterise hero in the totality of the Marvel Cinematic Universe . Thanks to Robert Downey Jr. ’s uncanny delivery , one would be hard - press to find a line of work that sticks out as completely incongruous with Tony Stark ’s establish personality . However , if there ’s one mo that can be pointed to as an example of such , it ’s Stark ’s legal brief away to himself inIron mankind 2 , often think to bethe weakest plastic film in theIron Mantrilogy .
Behaving recklessly in the wake of his seemingly concluding poisoning thanks to the arc reactor , Iron Man slant into a mirror and stares down the drum of the camera , asking himself if he has any other " bad ideas " before going out to compete as a surprisal racer in the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix . It ’s not that this kind of impulsivity makes no sense for Iron Man ’s character , buttalking to himself , peculiarly directly into a mirror , does n’t mousse with what ’s been establish about Stark thus far . This odd , almost quaternary - bulwark - breaking line should ’ve been left on the thinning room level .
Iron Man may be one of the most darling heroes in the MCU , but some shot in the enfranchisement paint the character in a terrible lighter year later .
4"The Sun’s Getting Real Low…"
Black Widow, Avengers: Age of Ultron
It does n’t come as a surprisal that the infamousAvengers : Age of Ultronfeatures more than one of the most out - of - grapheme lines from the original Avengers squadron . Black Widow ’s entire romance with Bruce Banner was a controversial subplot that seemed to get out of nowhere , with no real chemistry being prove between the two prior . This love tale resulted in several out - of - part moment for Black Widow , particularly the lullaby she sings to The Hulk .
It turns out that Black Widow developed a calming song that has a eminent chance of bringing the Hulk out of his rage - rush land and turning him back into Bruce Banner , despite the fact that Black Widow is far from a gentle baby-sitter . Black Widow ’s vocalizing is notorious for its preposterous and awkward place in the MCU.Other film even go on to bemock the construct , with Thor haphazardly essay to simmer down Bruce down with the Word of God over and over again inThor : Ragnarok . As far as Natasha ’s fictional character is concerned , however , the lullaby made little sense .
3"Noobmaster, Hey, It’s Thor Again, You Know, The God Of Thunder?"
Thor, Avengers: Endgame
No character in the MCU has suffered from extreme mischaracterization quite as painfully as Thor . Once a Shakespearian warrior with a grandiose and boisterous personality , Thor becomes a totally different role afterThor : Ragnarok , slowly becoming less serious and more comedicuntil he ’s left as a parody of his former ego . By the time ofAvengers : Endgame , Thor is little more than a punchline , made even more hapless by his evolution into " fat Thor " adopt the death of Thanos .
It ’s arduous to pick a unmarried line that illustrate just how badthe MCU ’s comedy Thor problemhas become , butAvengers : Endgamepresents quite the contender . While wasting away with his new alien friends surveil the death of Thanos , the once nobleThor uses his commanding presence to terrorize children on Fortnite , threatening Korg ’s nemesis " Noobmaster69 " with inspired furiousness . It ’s hard to beleive that Mjolnir line up Thor desirable again after stoop to such lows , completely go away against his former graphic symbol .
2"Are You That Guy? Are You? ‘Cause If You Are, Then You Can Solve The Riddle Of Your Heart"
Nick Fury, Iron Man 2
Nick Fury deserves more credit as a capable retaliator in his own right , the beating heart and soul of the team that brought the Earth ’s mightiest Cuban sandwich together in the first place . With years of experience in the intelligence business sector , Nick Fury is sometimes jaded , but ultimately a hopeful champion of the greater good in the Marvel Cinematic Universe . However , one picky crease of dialogue given to him inIron Man 2stands out as being too cheesy to justify .
During a conversation with Iron Man regarding his failing heart , Nick Fury suddenly whisk out a quotation mark that feels more at place in a ego - help book than in the script of an MCU flick , feeling like something the grounded Nick Fury would never say . Samuel L. Jackson ’s legal transfer of the stock is also stilted , intelligibly being an abnormal scene for the characterhe ’s managed to develop even so ahead of time on in his MCU story . For as virtual a man as Nick Fury is , this snippet of dialog is a routine too poetic .
1"Kang! You Gave Me Your Word! Our Word Is Our Bond! Without It, We Are Nothing!"
Ant-Man, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
Unlike other sealed Marvel heroes , Ant - Man was always a humourous character from the very beginning , with Paul Rudd ’s comedy chop shot carry a great motley of jokes across his MCU appearances . That being tell , Ant - Man and the Wasp : Quantumaniastretched the suspension system of skepticism of his folly , making him seem too unenlightened . The worst of this is in his showdown with the flick ’s antagonist , in which he chidesthe multiversal supervillain Kangfor not honoring his parole .
Kang ’s deception should n’t be a surprisal to Scott Lang , who was once a career criminal himself . It should n’t be a stupor that the same entity the entire quantum realm lives in fear of , who threatened Lang and his daughter to meet his own goals , is n’t the most trusty of individuals . Ant - Man has never before certify this commitment to his Holy Writ in his previous film appearances either , makingthis melodic phrase palpate like one of the most out - of - character pieces of dialogue suppose by any Avenger .
Some consider the MCU should have rebooted after avenger : Endgame and their wishes may be fulfilled after retaliator : Secret Wars . Deadpool & Wolverine introduced the conception of lynchpin beings , and if Tony Stark was an anchor being , it could explain a reboot of the MCU . This would be the perfect opportunity , and I call up Marvel should take it . The MCU has been struggling lately , and I remember a reboot could assist make things unfermented and exciting again in a way it has n’t been in years .
