15 Worst Superhero Movie Moments Since 2000

7. Kick-Ass 2: Failed Rape Gag

While Kick-Ass 2 isn't quite as bad as many claim it is, it was undeniably a huge step down from the first film. A key reason for this is that while the first film was very tasteless, it toed the line (just about) while Kick-Ass 2 went a bit far several times, especially in this awful scene.

Main antagonist Chris D'Amico and his fellow villains go to see Kick-Ass' superhero girlfriend, Miranda, at her house and attack her. Chris attempts to rape her but cannot get it up and starts jerking off in vain, before eventually deciding he's not in the mood and having the woman beaten instead.

This joke was not only incredibly tasteless, but it was also staggeringly unfunny and uncomfortable.
