15 Creepiest Things Done By MCU Characters

10. Selvig Awkward-Hugs Darcy (Thor: The Dark World)

The Moment: When Darcy and intern Ian rescue Dr. Erik Selvig from the psychiatric institute, he shows his gratitude by giving Darcy a huge hug...which goes on...and on...and on. After almost 15 seconds, Darcy has to tell him, "Getting weird now."

Why It's Creepy: Given that Selvig is still suffering the after-effects of Loki's brainwashing and was seen gallivanting naked around Stonehenge earlier in the movie, it's pretty understandable why nobody would want to be this close to Selvig for the time being.

Sure, you can argue Selvig intended this hug in only the most honestly platonic of ways, but it still seems like he's savouring it a little too much, as Darcy herself makes clear, and if she's uncomfortable, then that says it all.
