9. Ian Boothby - Thor: The Dark World

He bumbles about throughout the film, pretending to be Erik Selvig€™s son at one stage and startling Jane at another. Finally, he gets things together in the final act €“ epically taking down some Dark Elves and making out with Kat Denning€™s Darcy (before getting dropped on the floor).

Stupidest moment: Towards the end of The Dark World, Ian flails around with Selvig€™s scientific devices, complains that they€™re taped together, then admits that he has no idea what they actually do.
