10 Ridiculously Pointless Marvel Cinematic Universe Characters

1. Fandral (Thor)

Pointless Because: Who? Can anyone remember him? Beyond Thor's Asgardian compatriots Sif (the hot one) and Volstagg (the big, beardy one), Hogun and he just fade into the periphery. Re-casting didn't help in this case, with Joshua Dallas playing Fandral in the first Thor, and Zachary Levi taking the reins for The Dark World. Most viewers I expect just assumed it was a new character, because can anyone outside the realm of comic book fandom even remember his name, let alone what he looks like? I'm pretty sure most non-comic readers just called him Chuck. How To Fix It: This one's easy, just give him some damn lines worth remembering. I couldn't recite to you one syllable that came out of this guy's mouth in either Thor film. Was I on the money, or do you love these characters a little more than me? Are there any supreme wastes of space I forgot about? Let's argue in the comments!
