10 Annoying Things Every Superhero Movie Does

10. Characters Constantly Removing Masks

As seen in: Iron Man, Spider-Man, Venom

Though the complaint has died down a little in recent years now that audiences have realised it's not going away, superheroes still have a bad habit of pulling off their masks/retractable helmets in the heat of battle. Heroes today - especially those in the MCU - don't really have to worry about secret identities, but still, you'd think a big piece of armour would come in handy when you're fighting alien invaders and literal gods.

It's not a huge deal, but fans look forward to seeing their favourite characters all suited up and replicating double-paged spreads, but as soon as a dialogue scene starts, the masks immediately come off.

You can see exactly why studios prefer it this way, after all, when you spend $50 million to get somebody like Robert Downey Jr. in your movie, you want to show off that lovely face for as long as possible. Also it's far easier to convey emotion, you know, when you can actually see an actor emote.

It still breaks the illusion somewhat though, and it's frustrating to see when a movie like Dredd proved how it can be done.
