10 Cringe-Worthy Moments In Comic Book Movies

8. The Emo-zing Spider-Man

Following on the theme of how cringe-inducing a scene of dancing in a comic book movie can be, we have another hero who certainly should not quit his various day jobs. In this case, however, there's far more than just the dancing to force you into watching the movie through the protection of clasped fingers. In one of the more infamously embarrassing comic book movie sequences, Spider-Man 3's Peter Parker embraces the unprecedented power of the book's symbiote suit by... turning emo. Since you've probably all had to experience this dreadful collection of scenes at some point in your movie-watching life, there's little call for us to recount the scenes for you. We wouldn't want to put you through that ordeal again. All we need to remember are the countless memes, jokes and spoofs that have come about from Peter Parker's emo turn in Sam Raimi's third (and fortunately last) Spider-Man movie. From a movie that alienated Spider-Man fans everywhere, this was the standout scene, and by far the most cringe-inducing scene of any of Raimi's Spidey movies.
