10 WTF Superhero Movie Moments You Won't Believe They Got Away With

3. Peter Parker's Dance Moves - Spider-Man 3

There's no scene in Spider-Man 3 that inspired homicidal rage within me as much as this one, not because it broke any cardinal comic book rule or because it deviated from the source material, but because it was so cringe-inducing cheesy. Sam Raimi likes his goofiness, but even still, this horribly misjudged scene has Peter Parker, now affected by the symbiote that essentially turns him into emo-Spider-Man, strutting down the street with the most outdated dance moves known to man. It's like he literally stepped out of the 1970s. Now, the point of the scene is that it's supposed to be bad, given that every woman he walks past looks at him like they wouldn't touch him if he were the last man on Earth, but is drawing attention to the awfulness really enough to acquit Raimi? Absolutely not; it's still a low-point for a film that was already a stonking disappointment without the needless and embarrassing dance numbers.
