MCU: Every Final Battle Ranked From Worst To Best

23. Thor: The Dark World

It should come as a surprise to absolutely no one that the worst film in the MCU also has the worst climax.

While The Dark World's final battle does have some solid special effects, visually it's very dull and lacks any excitement. In fact, the best thing about the entire ordeal is an amusing moment where Thor takes the subway. When that's the best part, you know your climax is in trouble.

Malekith, the worst villain in the MCU to date, is uninteresting and sometimes laughable, and the fight against him lacks any stakes that will make you even remotely invested in the action on display.

If the battle itself wasn't bad enough, though, it frequently cuts to Jane and Selvig or Darcy and her intern, the latter pair making for terrible comic relief during the battle.

The portals and world jumping at least add a little bit of interest, but it's not enough to save this dull-as-dishwater climax.
