ILLUMINATI VS WANDA DARKEST MOMENTS AND BRUTAL DEMISE 🔥🌎🌊🔥🌎🌊🔥

[@gavincarothers595]

Easily the Snap. Especially how Tom Holland's Spider Man was that scared that badly of dying, that made me and two very old friends of mine when we went to see Infinity War back in 2018 completely 😳. That had me at the ❤️🧵s even now that I'm older, I'd be exactly the same unfortunate Fate like that when I 🤔 about it.

[@gavincarothers595]

Also Rocket Raccoon's Origin in GOTG Vol.3 is really the most 😢 💔 😭 Stories you could ever 👀 and 🙉 about, even in for Fictional Characters in all forms of Media, The way that the High Evolutionary's experiments on every Animal on 🌎 and other worlds he taken is really the most gut wrenching and it's even more bleakly darker when he kills Lylla, Floor, and Teethes, right in front of Rocket. No wonder why he acts so aggressive, gruff, and hardened how it harsh he acts round with others and I mean Damn. That's even more way worse when The High Evolutionary also Blew up Half world and killing its own Human Animal Hybrid citizens and denizens along with Adam Warlock's Mother because for a God Complex Starting over from the beginning, and assuming that the Children Drax, Nebula, and Mantis rescued are likely going to be next, like keep repeating Genesis and Revelations until they're Satisfied with everyone's and all Living Beings's Suffering before they reach the 🔚 that'll come.

[@RealKyndleNance]

Rocket’s backstory in GOTG Vol. 3 is another level of dark.

[@BigFella117]

Yes. I was literally cheering when he tore up the High Evolutionary’s face

[@Kevindoesstuff227]

Yes I'm actually quite surprised that's It's not rated R. Cause this was the most darkest and saddest movie I honestly watched. It felt like it should be rated R. I'm 17 and I was crying like a baby cause of how dark it was.

[@davidknightx]

And that absolutely BRUTAL tag team Guardians beat down at the end! YES! He was truly the most vile villain in the MCU. And honestly, he was pathetic. The way he was on his knees in front of Rocket's cage...upset that it wasn't him that had the solution.

[@carlosatausupa8429]

Seth Rogen Says The Boys Snubs Marvel Movies Because They're Kids' Movies. XD Bruh. In the mcu before the fall they left us unforgettable dark moments compared to today

[@ba_sher]

and it SHOULD be on this list

[@slackerofhell]

I'll never forget the look on Bruce's face when he admitted to trying to attempt suicide. That was soul crushing. The look on Tony's face said, "So have I."

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

The snap Will FOREVER the the darkest hour of the MCU.

[@boy2savege17]

The Snap dust not only half of all the heroes in the movie, but half of everyone on Earth and throughout the universe.

[@carlosrojas9174]

Sylvie slaying He-who-remain also has cataclysmic consequences

[@Pulpos999]

Still think thats one of the greatest endings ever made...

[@h0m3st4r]

@@Pulpos999 As far as sad endings go, yes, and in the end, it had to be that way to set up Endgame.

[@mikeawesome9212]

Naw, phase 4/5 and woke disney/marvel is the darkest moment of the MCU.

[@Zoki4444]

The scene after Thanos snapped his fingers made the movie feel like a horror/thriller. The terror in everybody's eyes as their friends disappeared into dust. No music. Death all around. Truly scary and they managed to do it without a single drop of blood.

[@arturosandovalsaito2704]

OOF! I guess that’s one way to kill thousands of people while still keeping a PG-13 rating.

[@Saturday6981]

Never realized how many dark moments the MCU actually has..., WOW

[@SuperKhalid95]

And it’s so funny when they say is all about lights and family friendly, but there’s still dark moments just like in DC

[@MasterAmerica]

That's what Marvel should be

[@adityaparikh8237]

How can you not add Rocket’s backstory? It shows him being tortured, having false hope and security, going through tragedy, made the High Evolutionary that much more hate-able, and definitely showed why Rocket never talks about his past.

[@MrPuzzles]

They missed so much it's not even funny.

[@nicolasbanidol2371]

This should have been n°1.

[@TSierra]

I remember the moment when Thanos snapped his fingers, the look on everyone’s faces and the silence was crazy.

[@staceystone9783]

Rocket’s backstory really got to me so bad I felt like I wanted to cry

[@kendra.1]

When Namor killed Queen Ramonda I cried. Seeing Shuri go through that after just losing her brother was just sad.

[@maxmazzotti6651]

Rocket’s past should be on here. What the High Evolutionary did was absolutely soul crushing

[@cameronjr8]

I know. Lylla’s unfortunate death from the 3rd Guardians of the Galaxy!

[@CaiseTheOne-nk6nk]

I agree! I agree! I agree!

[@davidchism6081]

Sky...

[@marcusyates3044]

Spider-Man: "Mr. Stark... I don't feel so good..."

[@Mordeomaneater]

That part legit made me cry

[@SickTwisted]

that wasn’t dark lmao, it was was just very fucking sad, like very sad actually 😂, but it wasn’t dark

Bucky being tortured when his memories started coming back after he remembered Steve.

[@SenatorLeiaOrganaSolo]

Wanda snapping Professor X’s neck still makes my skin crawl just thinking of it.

[@ShiraFuyu2022]

She didn't snap it, she tore his head in 2

[@patj.scahill979]

It’s probably a thing for Charles Xavier to get killed off as shown in some of the x-men films.

[@marlonclark1896]

@@patj.scahill979 yep poor Charles he faced death too many times

[@summertyme5748]

I found all of MOM to be extremely stupid, but not dark.

[@summertyme5748]

She can fly - but the simp writer needs her to do a zombie walk, so she walks on glass and cuts her feet...and then walks with a limp cuz - it hurts.... [lol]. The writer literally forgets his character can fly in order to make the stupid happen. Wherever Waldron the writer goes, he brings the stupid with him. He is one of the main reasons why the MCU is now failing, and *it will* keep failing.

[@olvialee7221]

287: Please don’t get me started with 2018’s Loki’s death. I hate it. He’s my favorite villain, I love him

[@summertyme5748]

^ Fans who don't want anything bad to happen to their fav character are what makes tragic events so powerful and impactful. *I loved it.* Hulk taking ass beating. Loki getting strangled. Thor give up and quits. Hawkeye goes "Death Wish". Steve lays down his shield and gets a life (and breaks his cherry), with Peggy. Stark falls on the grenade. Banner makes a truce with Hulk. Natasha pays back the red in her ledger. There is an *upset* fan for every one of these events. *It was beautiful.*

[@NomadicArtemis]

Charles Xavier didn't get his neck snapped. Wanda ripped his head in half

[@markperez9613]

The Snap is the definition of the Darkest moment in the MCU

[@Kevindoesstuff227]

No IT aint. Not even close

[@summertyme5748]

It is. Of course and - you know this.

[@VODTNBDBGDJU]

Nice thumbnail😂

[@JoeDixon68]

Great list of gut wrenching moments. The best part is the range of series/movies used to capture this list. 🦅🦅

[@WatchMojo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SirsasthNigam.]

Snap snapping to top was unexpected

[@mikeyslams6255]

It doesn’t matter how many times I watch Infinity War, the scene where Peter begs Tony saying “I don’t want to go” will proceed kill me a bit on the inside every single time. Props to both Tom and RDJ for such a heart wrenching scene.

[@BlazerK1914]

I love the MCU, and one I can say for instance is the way it blends both Light hearted and Dark stuff.

[@marlonclark1896]

same

[@juanmata9814]

1. Captain America Civil War 2. Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness 3. WandaVision 4. Spiderman No Way Home 5. Avengers Infinity War 6. Captain America The Winter Soldier 7. Thor Love and Thunder 8. Avengers Endgame 9. What if 10. Moon Knight

[@lacrartezorok4975]

No, Steve didn't actually knew it was Bucky who killed Tony's parents, and he says so.

[@olvialee7221]

297: S.H.I.E.L.D as Hydra? My reaction as a teenager -“Oh S******!”

[@olvialee7221]

293: I had quiet uncontrollable tears throughout Black Panther Wakanda Forever. T’Challa and Queen Ramonda’s death broke me

[@litepaw7]

The Snap and Loki’s Death always hit me hard….

[@MiissBoombaastiicc]

You forgot Wanda witnessing Vision getting killed by Thanos after she sacrificed him herself.. and the entire wandavision series.. it’s literally about grief

[@olvialee7221]

291: Seeing Thanos being beheaded is satisfaction for me

[@olvialee7221]

289: I didn’t expect Iron Man to get a panic attack. Got me surprised

[@olvialee7221]

292: I didn’t expect Quicksilver to die, my jaw not just fell but my heart cracked

[@nickp2271]

Marc Spector's backstory is kind of scary to me. It's like seeing an MCU version of what I used to be.

[@rahulsinha7653]

Loki's death in infinity war and Rocket's back story in GOTG vol.3 had darkest moments

[@sillyj7732]

Friendly reminder that according to the Loki show, he escaped Thanos and lived alone until he was an old man and the TVA attacked him for leaving the planet he was on cuz he was lonely.

[@olvialee7221]

298: As the only marvel movie I didn’t see in theaters, I was in major shock that Bucky killed Tony’s parents

[@olvialee7221]

294: Honestly, I thought this would be number one. Scarlet Witch killing off the Illuminati is dark, still scares me good

[@olvialee7221]

295: I really didn’t want Gamora to die. What Thanos did, made me HATE him so much

[@olvialee7221]

288: Tony’s Vision almost gave me a heart attack when Captain America grabbed him by the arm

[@boy2savege17]

4:40 Thanos arguably had it coming, but Thor's beheading of him in the beginning of Avengers Endgame was nevertheless a dark moments in the MCU and for Thor.

[@VMT504]

You all have been on fire with the latest videos!!!! Major Applause🌹

[@XTA1N0]

This is why Infinity War Part 1 is the best mcu movie after No Way Home

[@iraford5788]

All these dark MCU moments are amazing.

[@9701hbk]

The credits from black widow was "zombie" not "smells like teen spirit"

[@The_Republic_of_Ireland]

Rocket's backstory from Guardians 3 or the vision section of What If...Zombies?

[@olvialee7221]

301: Even though I agree on this list, I’m surprised that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 isn’t on this list. What the villain did to Rocket when he was little, torturing his friends and killing off animals that lived their lives on Earth like humans

[@olvialee7221]

299: Yeah, I was very speechless of Doctor Strange’s act in that episode. Very dark like 8 Disney movies combined

[@JRennick27]

Let’s be honest, we all know what #1 is (because no shit, it’s “the snap”)

[@summertyme5748]

Of course. I still remember the angry fan who stated they hated Infinity War because "you can't just kill characters who've been around forever" - lol. OH...yes, you can little one. Yes you can.

[@knightwolf9863]

#6: It always makes my heart wrench to see this. 😔 I hope that everyone in Damage Control, as well as J.J Jameson, get what’s coming to all of them. 😡

[@jcj268]

I kinda wanna see a “What If..?” Episode where becomes a villain and gets revenge

[@summertyme5748]

No Way Home is too stupid to be dark. This movie has Parker take a bomb in the face, but is unhurt. The Goblin impales Parker 2 and he is still unharmed. This is a bugs bunny cartoon, and it's not dark. You can't do dark when the hero ha infinite plot armor because your main objective is to sell toys to little kids.

[@AnthonyWrightFilms]

Damn, I'm surprised Rocket's backstory wasn't included on this list

[@boy2savege17]

This moment haunts Tony for years to come and motivates his decision to create Ultron as a way to protect the world, Ultimately that doesn't work out, and his vision comes true with horrific consequences as Thanos defeats the Avengers and snaps half of all life out of existence.

[@summertyme5748]

So the snap then, yes.

[@olvialee7221]

296: If Aunt May moved out of the way, she wouldn’t have got hit by Green Goblin’s glider. Unexpecting but sad

[@olvialee7221]

290: I wouldn’t find Yondu’s friends death dark, I just find it sad

[@olvialee7221]

300: Number one is too realistic. Ever since The Snap, he’s got rid of half the population. Including ours. Dark in it’s own way but heartbreaking

[@theosmith6275]

Honorable mention: Rocket’s past

[@patrickspencer6550]

15:12 See? That’s why Jameson needs to go to jail! He was cyberstalking Peter and he ordered the police to shoot at him.

[@summertyme5748]

I really despise No Way Home, because it's such a cheap collection of mindless plot holes. JJJ comes out of Nowhere with a hate boner for Spiderman based on what? This is a character who saved the Universe from Thanos and has *never* a villain in the MCU. Sony just pretends he's a villain because we have seen the Sony movies, and they flat out transplant the context to the MCU. It's all "somehow Palpatine lives" level writing in which they are basically calling you stupid, to your face. "Somehow New York thinks Spiderman is a villain. Somehow - no one at any NewsPaper can figure out the actual identity of fraudster Beck -say from Pepper Potts - his BOSS (she, not Tony was CEO of Stark corp.) rings them up and busts Beck. Everyone in that film is stupid to make the plot happen and the audience is frankly presumed to be too dumb to notice.

[@DrVenture45]

That "What If..." episode was not to be missed! Even Jeffrey Wright (voice of The Watcher) said, "That one got to me". I think the MCU has done a particularly fine job of transitioning these characters into a real world setting...including the triumph and tragedy of the human condition.

[@summertyme5748]

And then phase 4 and 5 happened and it all went to shix.

[@vworldgaming]

The snap will forever be #1

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

When Aunt May was about to die, my soul cried every time she said, *"I just need to catch my breath."* And I can't even speak on *Queen Ramonda* dying in *Wakanda Forever.* I still do not forgive Ryan Coogler for that, or the idiots at the Academy for robbing her of her Oscar for that performance.

[@Saturday6981]

The Thanos snap will ALWAYS be the most iconic scene in the MCU...

[@zackfisher6893]

if this video was released a little bit later, Rockets backstory would definitely be number 1. The snap got nothing on GOTG 3.

[@newageBoundhippie]

Rocket's backstory ( Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 ) Kingpin's backstory ( Daredevil ) Kingpin decapitates a guy with a car door ( Daredevil ) Fuches gets fridged ( Cloak & Dagger ) literally everything about Kilgrave ( Jessica Jones ) Foolkiller kills Trish's mom...and Hellcat gets her revenge ( Jessica Jones ) Coulson crushes Ward's chest ( Agents of SHIELD ) Sarge stabs May ( Agents of SHIELD ) Fitz goes full framework Hydra doctor ( Agents of SHIELD ) Jaiying's backstory ( Agents of SHIELD ) Shang-chi's backtorys ( Shang-Chi & the Legend of the Ten Rings ) Icarus betrays Ajak ( Eternals ) pretty much the entirety of The Punisher

[@summertyme5748]

Much of that isn't MCU though.

[@newageBoundhippie]

@@summertyme5748 it's all canon until I hear Kevin Feige or anyone else actually running things explicitly say otherwise. Plus they outright fully integrated the Netflix shows already

[@boy2savege17]

The MCU is seen as light and fun, but The Snap in Avengers Endgame to the creation of the Hex in WandaVision, Marvel is full of dark moments.

[@marionbaggins]

Loki's death I find so much Harder, because it's 10 Minutes in Infintity War...And they Put it 20's place, it should be on Within Top 10 or 5!!! Loki's Death should be higher, Quicksilver was Shot, Loki had his Neck *Holding Back Tears* Snapped!!!

[@SuenoReacts]

[@ThePrinceofHisOwnKingdom]

GOTG 3 is the darkest MCU movie. Can't you guys wait for digital release to include the clips?

[@Grand_Master12312]

Wanda killing illuminati is top 3

[@brownbearboxproductions3458]

Darkest mcu moment is when you realise the us government allowed Tony to weaponise a teenage boy and use him in a war against people who could’ve badly injured him and allowed him to face threats that could’ve killed him , that’s dark.

Obviously Rocket’s backstory shoulda been on this list! It was way darker than most of your picks!

The snap will forever be the darkest moment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Peter Parker aka Spider-Man fading into dust still hurts to watch, granted he comes back in Endgame 😓😁

[@thomasmora5390]

Marc Spectors backstory is top 5 for me

[@jakewsquires8664]

I love how the majority of these picks are from after endgame, when all I've been seeing is people constantly bitching about the MCU since Wanda vision, it's still great and still tells amazing true to the comic stories

[@WinterWarlock261]

You forgot 2 of them: -The death of the Black Widow -And the most important moment of all: The death of Tony Stark I can handle all other scenes. But the death of Tony Stark and I have to end the movie at that moment. It's like a Schindler's List moment. It is the most intense scene in the MCU. Too hard to handle.

[@marionbaggins]

Loki's death I find so much Harder, because it's 10 Minutes in Infintity War...Loki's Death should be higher, Quicksilver was Shot, Loki had his Neck *Holding Back Tears* Snapped!!!

[@nikoslions18]

The darkest moments to me are: Thanos’ Snap, Death of MCU Aunt May Parker, Deaths of Howard and Maria Stark, and finally the Ending of Tony Stark/Iron Man.😢😢

wish they hadn't yeeted Runaways into the ether....totally forgot about the death ( side note: I need the Runaways, as well as Cloak & Dagger, in Secret Wars. Old Lace deserves to be on the big screen! ). but yeah...so many dark moments worthy of this list across SHIELD, Agent Carter, Runaways, Cloak & Dagger and the 6 Netflix shows. I mean basically every scene with Killgrave in Jessica Jones could fit this list

[@Omar_Obi]

You know so why are you here if you really wanted to talk about series that bad?

[@malhaomalhoa7486]

You could do this whole top 20 list with just Netflix's Daredevil tbh

[@LeonardoKlotz]

The opening of BLACK WIDOW was the only decent scene of the entire movie

[@jakubosial7307]

pity that the moment when peter fights with norman osborne wasn't on the list because the atmosphere in that moment was really dark when peter with the rage on his face stopped pulling punches and wanted to impale green goblin on his glider

Seeing Thanos Snap all of the Heroes out of existence in *Infinity War* was of THE Most Darkest Moments I've ever seen in that movie, not to mention Thanos choking Loki Laufeyson to death is also Super Dark and Horrific to watch. 😨😱

[@factmissionhindi1013]

Nice

[@yellowbeanieboy]

You know what's even darker, some of these scenes resonates with our real world. Animals being tortured in lab experiments, human trafficking, injustice, civilian casualties caused by nonsense wars, countless murders of innocent people ordered by those in power, and many other real-life horrors. Hard to admit but these are happening in the world today. Too bad the Avengers aren't real, we desperately need heroes to put wrong people in their right places and make this world a little bit better.
