Captain Marvel: 10 Best Moments

4. Nick Fury Loses His Eye

Even the most casual Marvel fans fully expected to see Nick Fury lose an eye, and duly, the cause of his affliction is revealed later in the movie.

After getting a little too familiar with Goose, Fury gets scratched in the face by the alien kitty, damaging his eye. Naturally, he shouts, "Mother Flerken!"

At first it doesn't actually seem like Fury's sight has been lost - especially as the Los Angeles chase implied there might be a recurring gag where Fury gets facial injuries but doesn't lose his sight - though the end of the film confirms that, indeed, he has.

Hilariously, Fury refuses to confirm or deny the rumour to Coulson that he lost his eye after a Kree burned it out.

And though Fury's reaction to losing an eye does seem weirdly nonchalant, it's at least an amusing subversion of everyone expecting it to come from a Skrull impostor or something "serious."
