WANDA VS Luminati BRUTAL Demise

[@OnlyTimefps9]

Illuminati death’s definitely #1 brutal deaths and imo the most graphic we’ve seen from an average MCU, PG-13 film. MOM was a low key R rated film especially when it had horror elements.

[@jcj268]

10:27 uhh “What If..?” Was NOT made for kids!

[@boy2savege17]

While the death and the way it was done was absolutely shocking, the shot of John Walker holding up the bloodied shield is by far one of the most best and impactful sequences in Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

[@jediclonekag13]

Wanda killing the Illuminati was straight-up horrifying, not just brutal.

Tony Stark's death still hits hard. An unforgettable experience in the cinema. Total silence followed this scene with a fair few of us wiping tears away. Then a real gut punch with the funeral scene and Alan Silvestri's beautiful "The Real Hero" playing as the Marvel universe was all gathered together. Bloody hell, I am going again 😥

[@nestorsifuentesaguirre2722]

Gamora had to die, which was sad enough. It was all made even worse when the Guardians learn of her death and Peter Quill couldn't keep it together, making this one of the saddest MCU deaths.

[@jasonbleau4646]

Without even watching the video I can predict Multiverse of Madness provides at least a quarter of this list if not more.

[@nestorsifuentesaguirre2722]

The Strange Variants should have been mentioned tho. In my headcannon Sinister Strange's death while brutal is also peaceful because he might never suffer anymore the fact that he and Cristine are doomed to not be together

[@purple1441]

If they didn't do a 1 death per movie rule, yeah Multiverse of Madness would take up many spots.

[@H.K.5]

It’s ridiculous that there’s no scenes from Daredevil or The Punisher. Those shows were as brutal as Marvel could ever get.

[@Ratface0007]

I like how What If is basically an excuse to kill heroes as torturously as possible

[@grewntd]

I think Thor decapitating Thanos was provoked when Thanos has the gall to voice a faux, half-hearted regret that, "Perhaps I was too cruel to you, daughter." at Nebula. That really gets me because I'm reminded of stories of parents harming their children

[@nestorsifuentesaguirre2722]

Even if that victory was goddamned hollow I agree

[@TSierra]

When Wanda literally removed his mouth and then he screamed and killed himself, that was scary and brutal.

[@JacksonLane02]

Feel like every death in Multiverse Of Madness could fill up this list. As a Multiverse film it's alright but it reeks Sam Raimi all over it and honestly I feel like that's why the deaths are brutal you have Black Bolt's mouth dissappear blasting his brains out, Reed turns to Noodles, Captain Carter gets cut in half, Captain Marvel gets drained her powers then gets crushed by a statue and Professor X gets his jaw ripped off. And that's just what wasn't cut

[@dietotaku]

yeah idk whose idea it was to let sam raimi direct a movie in a franchise that's supposed to be family-friendly but i was not okay with all the viciously gory deaths

[@austinkahle]

​@dietotaku well, Raimi directed the original Spider-Man trilogy. And those movies had some horrifying scenes for being "family friendly". I for one am psyched for the more brutal MCU

It doesn't really make sense for Wanda to be able to kill Black Bolt and Reed immediately and then take so long for the others, though.

You give Sam Raimi a PG-13 rating, he will push it to the edge of R-rated gore every time. Black Bolt can attest to that.
