The Moment: Thor is hanging out with Loki, when Loki decides to live up to his mischievous name and toy around a little. He turns himself into an Einherjar guard, turns Thor briefly into Sif, and then hilariously transforms himself into Captain America, complete with shield and all. He then mocks Cap's costume and righteous attitude, before Thor shoves him into a wall.

Why It's Ridiculous: It's honestly about as entertaining as The Dark World gets, and a very welcome surprise considering how nothing really leaked about Chris Evans appearing in the movie ahead of time.

Sure, "Cap" only shows up for about 15 seconds, but it's terrific to watch if only because Evans has to play Loki playing Cap, which is probably a lot harder than it sounds. It's a testament the potential of Loki's barmy powers, and a reminder of how villains can be both menacing and fun.
