However, there’s also a fair number of scenes people find cringey, whether it’s because a joke didn’t land or a piece of dialogue didn’t sit right with them. Recently, we asked the BuzzFeed Community to share those moments.

Here are 18 Marvel scenes people think are the cringiest:

1."Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness had practically a catalogue of cringedom to choose from. With all the graphics money can buy, his third eye just looked like Annoying Orange rather than 'Oohh look! He has a third eye!'"

"It was so weird, especially since he knew by then she was Peggy's niece."

"As much as I love Captain America as a character, I found the fact that he had a romantic relationship with Peggy Carter’s (his gf from when he was in WWII) niece after meeting her at Peggy’s funeral to be so disgusting and out of character."

"They did so little with female characters throughout MCU and did them wrong so many times, and then it was like in-your-face, look how cool we are, how many women we have, girl power, yass queen... and in the end — no Nat's funeral, nothing..."

Some scenes aren't "cringey" just because of a bad joke or an awkward encounter. There are a few MCU scenes that make people cringe because the content makes them genuinely uncomfortable to watch.

15."When Seamtress made Peter Parker undress in front of her in Spider-Man: Far From Home."

"If this was a man telling a 15/16-year-old girl to undress in front of him, people would be outraged. But because it's a women telling a 15/16 year-old-boy to undress in front of her, it's played for comedy."

17.And finally: "Hands down, when Joss Whedon wrote the despicable line in Age of Ultron where Black Widow says her infertility makes her a 'monster.' How f*cking triggering is that for anyone watching that movie who couldn’t conceive?"
