10 Horrendously Cringeworthy Marvel Cinematic Universe Comedy Scenes

9. The Reluctant AIM Guard (Iron Man 3)

In Iron Man 3, Tony Stark utilised some very basic equipment that he put together using domestic and garden goods to attack the supposed home of the Mandarin and fight his way past a few AIM guards. After initially succeeding and reaching "the Mandarin" - who turned out to be alcoholic British actor Trevor Slattery - he manages to get himself captured. Whilst tied up, he calls on his Iron Man armour remotely and parts of it arrive (the rest of it being locked in a shed), which prove to be enough to help him take out most of the guards keeping an eye on him. When only one remains, after what was a very violent encounter with the others which resulted in several deaths, the lone survivor drops his weapon and says "honestly, I hate working here, they are so weird" and is allowed to escape. It may have raised laughs, but it was so out of place and random following the intense breakout scene that it felt desperate.
