20 Worst Movie Moments Of 2019
16. Captain Marvel - Nick Fury Loses His Eye... Because Of A Cat
As surprising as a rat, of all things, freeing Ant-Man (by accident, no less) from the Quantum Realm in Avengers: Endgame was, this was arguably even more shocking. How did Nick Fury lose his eye? Because a cat... a CAT... scratched his face. Well, it was an alien cat, but still.
This was a terrible missed opportunity since Nick Fury losing his eye (the circumstances of which we've all wondered about for years) could've been the result of a betrayal or battle with a villain but was instead the subject of an unfunny and unnecessary gag.
Captain Marvel was a diverting and perfectly decent superhero film, but it was ultimately forgettable and DC's Wonder Woman left it in the dust. Out of the movie's various problems, such as the by-the-numbers script and some underdeveloped characters, this stupid joke was definitely the biggest. Honestly, what were they thinking?
