10 Most Cringeworthy Moments In Recent Movies
10. Mjolnir's Jealousy - Thor: Love & Thunder
There are a few movies on this list from which you could take your pick of cringeworthy moments, but arguably none more so than Thor: Love and Thunder. Taika Waititi's follow-up to the exceptional Thor: Ragnarok missed the mark tonally, and is one of the weakest outings in the MCU to date.
From Jane Foster's catchphrase and the screaming goats to Korg's painful voiceovers, Thor's new fighting style alongside the Guardians of the Galaxy, and literally anything Russell Crowe said as Zeus, there was no shortage of scenes that could have claimed a spot on this particular list. None of the above was the worst, however.
Whereas its predecessor Ragnarok was laugh-out-loud funny, Thor: Love and Thunder was full of moments that were clearly written to be funny, but went down like a lead balloon. The absolute worst example of this was Mjolnir being jealous of Thor's relationship with Stormbreaker.
Even Chris Hemsworth has spoken about how the movie went too silly, saying as much in an interview with GQ, and Mjolnir's jealousy exemplifies this concern. Did anyone really need to know that Thor's weapons had a feud?
