GREAT WATCHMOJO DUMDEST DECISIONS BY SUPERHEROES.

[@l-wolverine2211]

Revealing your Secret Identity has always been one of the Dumbest Decisions ever, especially to random people, because you make them into a Target.

[@theywouldnthavetocensormei9231]

And it's usually just a cheap trick to heighten the drama. "I can never reveal my secret identity! Except this one time, I'm sure they won't tell anyone."

[@SeanWheeler100]

I find lying to your parents and friends just to protect your secret identity would be an even dumber decision, because when they find out anyway, they'd be very pissed off that you didn't trust them.

[@SeanWheeler100]

@@theywouldnthavetocensormei9231 You think a supervillain wouldn't threaten the friends and family who didn't know? You think all these crazy psycho killers would just play fair and not bother with people who don't know the hero's real name? Villains attack bystanders all the time. Uncle Ben died at the start of Spider-Man's career. There's no way he could have known his nephew had just became Spider-Man. And besides, when they know, it would be easier for them to prepare for supervillain attacks then if they didn't know. Could you imagine how scary it would be if you were dating a superhero but didn't know it until that hero's archenemy broke into your house, told you who you were dating and then killed you? Or how much scarier if that supervillain instead of confronting you just sniped at you from across the street without giving you the chance to see your death coming and never knowing the very reason you were assassinated because you didn't know the hero's secret identity while the villain did? The danger of outing secret identities doesn't come from friends knowing, it's the enemies that know it. It's very stupid to think that the hero's friends would be more danger knowing when villains could take advantage of their ignorance and catch them off-guard. In fact, it would be even worse when the villain was the one who told the friend the hero's identity. As long as the villain knows the hero's identity, everyone is in danger whether they know the secret or not. And when the hero tells a friend, the hero could have a helpful ally. And if the villain doesn't know the hero's secret identity and is interrogating everyone for it, the friend not knowing would not help if the villain is killing anyone who didn't have the answer.

What I'd put for honorable mention: Justice League Doom- Justice League not agreeing with Batman on his reason for contingency plans Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness- Mister Fantastic telling Scarlet Witch about Black Bolt Spider-Man No Way Home- Peter not thinking through about memory wiping everyone Spider-Man Far From Home- Giving E.D.I.T.H. to Mysterio whom he known for a few days

[@autumbreeze1129]

I agree except for the No Way Home one. That's not on Peter, that's on Doctor Strange for not actually explaining how the memory spell worked until AFTER he'd started casting it. Peter is still a kid (technically) at that point. He's going to put his faith in adults more easily than another adult would. If you're a kid and an adult says "I have a plan that will fix everything" when you're desperate, you instinctively trust them because they're the adult, so should know better and you NEED the help. Strange just needed to explain how the spell worked first. He does it all the time with those who already know how magic works, so why didn't he do it for someone with no concept of how magic works? If anything, when it's someone who DOESN'T know how the concept of magic works, explaining it should be even higher priority

[@waheedabdullah6371]

@@autumbreeze1129 It's a memory wiping spell, wipes everyones'' memories about Peter's secret identity; very simple if I was Peter. And then after Peter interrupted Strange's spell the first time, he should've remembered MJ, Aunt May, and Happy too before interrupting Strange the second time

[@sithlordkaeyl21]

I don’t agree with Justice League: Doom’. Everything that happened was Batman’s fault. If he didn’t keep contingency plans, or at the very least where anyone could get them, then nothing would’ve happened, so everything his teammates went through, are directly his responsibility. Just like what happened in the movie ‘Batman v. Superman’, where his stupid actions in unnecessarily picking a fight with Superman because of his mistrust and paranoia, they could have prevented the entire plot of the movie from happening.

The real question is, why does Gotham allow for The Joker to be sent to Arkham every time he is caught? The argument of him being "Clinically Insane" should be out of the question, especially when there's tons and tons of evidence of him planning to do things, and doing said things, so he can kill hundreds and hundreds of people. Gotham is stupid to think that "An Agent of Chaos" or someone with the nickname "Clown Prince of Crime" can be rehabilitated.

[@taraungoogle8482]

Batman doesn't want to kill Joker or anyone else which is understandable but the fact that Batman saves Joker from justifying killed by someone else is the problem. When someone has a chance to kill Joker, Batman stops them by guilt tripping or arresting them. Batman also has a knack for giving his criminals a second chance despite what they done. Like how in Injustice Batman gave Harley Quinn a second chance and gave her a spot on the team despite the fact that she played a role in destroying Metropolis.

I don't think Batman sparing the Joker was a bad idea, nor does he do it out of adherence to a "code". It's the consequences of what happens if he fails to adhere to the code, not the code itself. If Batman starts to murder criminals, he in fact becomes a criminal. Gotham PD can turn a blind eye to Batman capturing criminals, but when bodies start to pile up, it becomes more serious. Jim Gordan and company will start to hunt the Batman to bring him in for trial, which at the very least would reveal his identity. Bruce Wayne in jail means every criminal that the Batman can't capture because he started down this dark path is partially his fault.

Wanda of that universe was either retired or a civillian, even in Wandavision, what MCU Wanda did appeared to be more of subconcious mind control and an illusion over the top of it, we even we didn't know she could manipulate the body in the way she did the Black Blot and Reed until she did. So neither did the Illuminati. With that in mind, against anyone other than a reality warper, how is what Reed said "revealing Black Bolt's weakness"? "He can kill you with a single whisper from his mouth" is a brag to say, if he chooses, he can kill you, don't push it. The illuminati dismissing Wanda as a threat because, based on their own Strange, they think MCU Strange is the bigger mistake is a bad choice, that line is not.

If you're talking about comic books as well as movies and shows, then I think the Young Heroes from marvel started a reality TV show where they track down and arrest super villains on TV. This has been various, but the most prolific one was in the beginning of marvel civil war. In order to put on a show the Young Heroes that I believe were the new warriors ransacked a safe house for villains. This led to an explosion which actually triggered the events that pushed the superhuman registration act. Another one that completely backfired was Batman's contingency plans. In comic books and in the animated movie Justice League Doom, Batman created contingency plans with villains were able to get a hold of. These plans were initially to stop heroes from turning bad. Either though haven't contingency plans against this subject is a good one but he should have actually had a more secure system in place where the villains was not able to get that information. Working with villains without them trying to redeem themselves. This one is actually part of magneto working with the X-Men in the second X-Men movie. But it's more various. They have been numerous incense is of different villains working with the heroes without trying to redeem themselves. Besides magneto, the Justice League actually trust is like smooth in the Justice League animated series to stop the justice lords. This led to the creation of katniss and likely that tries to become president just to make Superman angry. Also trust in Dr Doom with trying to stop the silver surfer which he betrays them. In fact he doesn't multiple times through the marvel universe. Trusting the government. Newest times the heroes tried to trust the government but those in power always find a way to do something shady. This was also made into newest medium. One example is Batman The dark Knight returns. In this storyline is it the government used to Superman as it turned and which leads to almost making World war III. In the DC universe also is likely becomes president and the superheroes had to work under the US government. This leads to a eagle statistical man controlling the heroes when the planet is facing a doomsday level event. Also in another fact is that in the mall of the universe the government officials betrays and teams up with bashing to create the prime sentinels through the organization known as operation zero tolerance. Power rangers the 2017 movie. In the movie the biggest mistake that the rangers made was out of them going up against Rita without mastering the ability to move. This leads to read a caption them interrogating them to find with Zeo crystal is located which leads to one of the rangers dying. It's only through zordon that he resurrects the ranger and then they were able to morph to defeat her. Even though having the crystal hide underneath a donut shop was pretty lame too. Forcing villains 2 become good. Anytime when a hero tries to brainwash a villain or wiping the memory out always leads to the hero into trouble. One example is safe tooth. And the comic books professor Xavier brainwashes sabertooth to become mild and peace loving but only lasts a short time before he betrays them.

BRUCE SAVED A DUMB KID THAT IGNORED GATED GOVERNMENT PROPERTY, AND THE HULK CONSTANTLY SAYS HE WANTS TO BE LEFT ALONE!!! One more thing, there was no reason for Peter to arrive his marriage to save May! This may (pun unintentionally intended) sound taboo, but it just proves that Peter has an unhealthy attachment to his aunt and really needs to get counseling over his Uncles death.

There's also when Mr. Fantastic Infect His Own team with the Zombie Virus.

Strange helping Peter in No way home Peter trying to save villains he didn’t know/ or had an understanding about what would happen once they returned to the exact moment they died in the perspective universe

[@axels3188]

I think Creating Flashpoint was the dumbest decision made by superheroes.

[@jr22hon]

Honorable mention: Working with someone whose last name is DOOM- any fantastic 4 movie.

[@aysada]

“You can’t get away with messing with Batman”. Sounds like your writer is a little biased with his glorification of Batman and all his overdone almost teenage-like angst.

[@calebsoria1777]

3:07 he finally got nuts Also, you can’t blame him. He was one of the few things that made this movie worth watching

[@UltimateHero128]

I am really sick of the Joker's living being blamed on Batman. Instead of blaming Batman for not killing Joker himself (which is what Joker wants), either blame Gotham for not doing it, or blame Batman for not LETTING him die. Let almost ANYONE else kill Joker, just stop blaming Batman for not pulling the trigger.

[@taraungoogle8482]

Gotham had a death penalty but got rid of it for some reason and every time when someone come close to killing Joker, Batman would guilt trip them into not doing it or stop them.

[@josh72456]

I’ve seen Deadpool, The Flash, Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, Avengers: Infinity War, X2: X-Men United, Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Fantastic Four and Avengers: Age Of Ultron.

Quill giving up his Celestial power Whatever "hero" decided Captain America gets to rewrite his history while Tony's daughter loses her daddy Charles Xavier letting a Darkhold-possessed Wanda get into his head because he thinks he can save her Green Arrow stopping in clearing "The List" Superman NOT being the badass he was against the Elite and during Injustice Wolverine NOT skewering Cyclops sooner or later Jean allowing Charles to block her power while Cyclops basically acts like her leash and muzzle Stephen not challenging Wong on being Sorcerer Supreme (THERE IS ONLY ONE SORCERER SUPREME!) Batman OR Arrow not taking control of the League of Assassins

[@reginaldglass2922]

Bringing Wolverine to fight Magneto on Asteroid M..........pretty self explanatory lmao.

[@juanmata9814]

1. Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice 2. The Flash 3. Planet Hulk My Favorite Best Superhero movies and comics ever

[@calebsoria1777]

18:23 it’s Batman’s number one rule obviously

[@arbiter690]

Firstly the MCU Ultron was technically Scarlet Witch's fault cause of her using her power on Tony during the opening scene which lead him to work with Bruce Banner in making Ultron as a measure for Thanos' foreshadowing threat in addition to logically other dangers to arise which they did. As for Batman not killing the Joker the code is what prevents him from becoming judge, jury, and executioner due to how easily his trauma can deeply affect him, however despite this who is to say he has to kill him when the Gotham Courts could have done it or some cops or thugs from a rival gang. Anyone could have killed the Joker when he was in a cell in numerous ways but it's being set to be only a Batman choice or by the Joker's own hands to do it as actual depictions of Joker's deaths have portrayed. And yes the DCU death counts cause he twisted Tim Drake and used Cadmus tech on him to do it which turned against him so he died from his plan falling apart because of his own hubris of control over the boy.

[@mcurran6505]

MCU Spider-Man is not really good at keeping his identity a secret. He screwed up by either: 1. Not knowing Ned or Aunt May were home. 2. Revealing his real name to Dr. Strange and Carol Danvers. 3. Unmasking himself on numerous occasions. 4. Revealing his identity to Mysterio (a stranger he just met) who will end up exposing his real name to the world ruining his life.

[@cyclopstb]

Reveal his identity to Strange and Danvers wasn’t dumb. Thanos was terrorizing the universe and all the Avengers shared their identities with each other.

[@davidchism6081]

Banishing Hulk; Namor called it right that Hulk would return for revenge.

[@calebsoria1777]

0:33 in fairness legally they couldn’t have more weapons in place since they only had a short budget. Fox didn’t believe that this movie will succeed. So they decided to give them a small budget of 75 or maybe $80 million. They blew half of it on the whole highway with a gun

[@antonitocotter447]

13:22 Yeah, this had to have been Tony's *DUMBEST* move in all of Marvel Comics. Since Spiderman had a NUMBER of enemies over the years and he thought: "Let's reveal Parker's identity to everyone as proof of the legislation act, there's no way this could wrong!" ...it went *VERY* wrong.

[@reydelcastillo17]

Was that hulk in blackface? Lol

[@alm2187]

Silly to include the Deadpool one. From the rest of this list, I'm expecting plot logic anomalies and examples of dubious judgment from characters. Forgetting the duffel bag is an oversight, not a decision. Clearly it's also deliberate situational humor and not a case where audiences would hold screenwriters responsible as if for a mistake.

[@danhibiki2]

It doesnt even have to be Batman who kills Joker. Multiple characters have tried to do it before but Batman actually goes out of his way to save Joker. Its genuinely stupid how anyone likes Batman.

[@arkwright4354]

Other than revealing your secret identity to the whole world, killing The Joker is the most universally dumbest decision ever, he’s racked up a high body count that Batman shouldn’t stop Jason Todd/Red Hood or anyone else from ending the Clown Prince Of crime, let him just be gone so that the rest of the villains will then be taken care of after.

[@SilverSpectre266]

Watchmen is a tough one because on one hand Rorschachs decisions absolutely wasnt dumb. It was exactly his character, and even if he did lie then theres still Dr Manhattan. Dr. Manhattan can see all points in time; past, present, and future. Even if Rorschach had lied to his face, Manhattan would have already seen the future and known the truth. The conundrum lies in whether he would have acted on it. Manhattan sees all points in time at once, but often doesnt act on those visions and chooses to let things play out, for better or worse, because hes so detached from everything. So would have acted on it or let it slide?

[@jacoblind5390]

As Darth Helmet tells us- “ evil will always triumph because good is dumb”

[@aniocitex1131]

Here’s one: Involing VILLAINS in the Civil War between Cap and Iron Man

[@aniocitex1131]

#8 imma give him a pass on that one

[@redrocksvlogs]

Batman not killing the Joker is such a huge mistake. Despite he doesn't want to break his "no kill" rule, his mistake leads up to death of his own family like Jason Todd eventually he become the villain Red Hood. Joker is such a crazy villain that Batman ever fought.

[@steffondoyle8071]

Not only that, he would even save him. So obnoxious.

[@iamthee83]

In Supes defense in BVS, he did try tell Bruce they were getting played. Just no hard enough though.

[@cameronjr8]

Now let’s do the opposite; Top 20 SMARTEST decisions by Superheroes!

[@maximillianosaben]

Deadpool leaving the ammo bag doeasn't really count under the context. It was also a callback to the bridge shootout early in the movie where he forgot to count his bullets before arriving in the cab. If you want to call Deadpool stupid, that's at least acceptable.

[@tdi21]

Captain America obsessing over Bucky instead of being the so-called hero and soldier he's meant to be

[@johnnybacklund153]

Captain America with his "we dont sacrifice people" thing in Infinity War. If they had just destroyed the stone from the get go, Thanos wouldnt have known when it happened or where it happened. However we all know Cap is from the olden days and doesnt consider Wakandans dying as "sacrificing people" 😬

[@javiersantanaaviles5885]

The Flash 2023 is no Flashpoint, just a bad parody of the comic event
