10 Movie Scenes That Unexpectedly Confused Audiences
10. Thor Takes A Bath - Avengers: Age Of Ultron
Avengers: Age of Ultron features perhaps the single most confusing scene in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, when Thor (Chris Hemsworth) enters a body of water referred to as the "Water of Sight" and witnesses visions of Asgard's destruction, the Infinity Stones, and the creation of Vision (Paul Bettany).
It's a brief and bizarre sequence which sticks out like a sore thumb in the movie, enough that many fans correctly assumed that it was trimmed down from a larger set-piece.
The longer, deleted scene shows Thor being possessed by the Norns, a group of female beings who can see the future and manifest within the Water of Sight. But because this scene played poorly with test audiences, Marvel executives insisted that it be heavily trimmed down.
While it's fair to say that the scene gives Thor the idea to bring Vision to life later on, its state in the final movie is so rushed and glossed-over that it's ultimately more confusing than illuminating.
