Every MCU Credits Scene Ranked From Worst To Best

48. Thor: The Dark World - The Collector Takes The Aether

Scene: Volstagg (Ray Stevenson) and Sif (Jamie Alexander) entrust the Aether to the Collector (Benicio Del Toro), who privately expresses a desire to acquire the other five Infinity Stones after they leave.

The first credits scene from the MCU's worst film to date feels pretty important in retrospect, since Thanos would later steal the Aether in Avengers: Infinity War.

Unfortunately, once you take that out of the equation you're left with a fairly dull snippet that also introduced us to Benicio Del Toro's frankly terrible performance as the Collector. He's a great actor, but he was fatally miscast as that character.
