WANDA VS Luminati BRUTAL Demise
Illuminati death’s definitely #1 brutal deaths and imo the most graphic we’ve seen from an average MCU, PG-13 film. MOM was a low key R rated film especially when it had horror elements.
10:27 uhh “What If..?” Was NOT made for kids!
Wanda killing the Illuminati was straight-up horrifying, not just brutal.
And imo the most graphic moments we’ve ever seen in the MCU.
@Pikachufps3 along with that one FATWS kill.
It was amazing!
And the most stupid of all
Wasn’t that bad, chill 😂 They didn’t even show Captain Marvel’s remains or Carter’s body which was cut in half.
Doctor Strange Multiverse of madness had the most Brutal deaths in MCU History
Fax
@@williamsummerson1204 One of the deaths more terrifying than even Mr Fantastic was a Kamar Taj enforcer who destroyed a Darkhold copy but also died with the copy. A noble sacrifice but with huge body horror
@@nestorsifuentesaguirre2722 true
While the death and the way it was done was absolutely shocking, the shot of John Walker holding up the bloodied shield is by far one of the most best and impactful sequences in Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
Wanda Killing The Illuminati in Mutiple Horrific ways was beyond Brutal.
It was also quite a heroic thing too. 😂 Considering they were all a bunch of villains.
I think Black Bolt in particular was a brutal.
It was a masterpiece of death!
Nope Maria Rambo's was the most brutal by that statue falling on top of her!!
No kidding
The killing that horrified me most was in "Ant-Man" when Darren Cross talked to an executive in the bathroom and suddenly reduced him to a slimy blip on the floor.
Hit 'em with the booger gun.
125: Xavier’s death still gives me a jumpscare. Did not see that coming
poor Xavier got killed 3 different times in 3 different movies all were brutal.
Tony Stark's death still hits hard. An unforgettable experience in the cinema. Total silence followed this scene with a fair few of us wiping tears away. Then a real gut punch with the funeral scene and Alan Silvestri's beautiful "The Real Hero" playing as the Marvel universe was all gathered together. Bloody hell, I am going again 😥
Sad and horrifying. Dying without talking felt just unbearable
Without even watching the video I can predict Multiverse of Madness provides at least a quarter of this list if not more.
The Strange Variants should have been mentioned tho. In my headcannon Sinister Strange's death while brutal is also peaceful because he might never suffer anymore the fact that he and Cristine are doomed to not be together
If they didn't do a 1 death per movie rule, yeah Multiverse of Madness would take up many spots.
You give Sam Raimi a PG-13 rating, he will push it to the edge of R-rated gore every time. Black Bolt can attest to that.
Well the MCU is supposed to be spontaneously mature from day one but this was way too much
Not every time. The Spider-Man trilogy was nowhere near as brutal.
@@jp3813 Spider-Man 2 hospital scene…
@@benwasserman8223 Like I said, nowhere near. And that's only one scene out of a trilogy.
Wanda was an absolute menace and I love that everyone is finally realizing this. Love that crazy witch.
This is what happens when abusive mother and horror themes are combined. Raimi made these combinations art
Gamora had to die, which was sad enough. It was all made even worse when the Guardians learn of her death and Peter Quill couldn't keep it together, making this one of the saddest MCU deaths.
I like how What If is basically an excuse to kill heroes as torturously as possible
No. 1, these deaths could've been avoided if Reed hadn't told Wanda about Black Bolt's power and just let him do his thing, or if Professor X had used his power to freeze her in place so Christine could put the same kind of that were used on Stephen in this movie instead of going inside her mind and getting his neck snapped by her
Hate to say this but even in another universe there's no way Reed can avoid ruining everything because of his leniency
That's poor writing of movie
The Winter soldier throwing jasper sitwell into on coming traffic which happened to be a truck was pretty grim 😂😂
yep
Or the soldier he kicked into the turbine of a quinjet during the end sequence??? 😮
Worse is that Jasper knew at the last second that his uselfulness has come to an end
It’s ridiculous that there’s no scenes from Daredevil or The Punisher. Those shows were as brutal as Marvel could ever get.
Feel like every death in Multiverse Of Madness could fill up this list. As a Multiverse film it's alright but it reeks Sam Raimi all over it and honestly I feel like that's why the deaths are brutal you have Black Bolt's mouth dissappear blasting his brains out, Reed turns to Noodles, Captain Carter gets cut in half, Captain Marvel gets drained her powers then gets crushed by a statue and Professor X gets his jaw ripped off. And that's just what wasn't cut
yeah idk whose idea it was to let sam raimi direct a movie in a franchise that's supposed to be family-friendly but i was not okay with all the viciously gory deaths
@dietotaku well, Raimi directed the original Spider-Man trilogy. And those movies had some horrifying scenes for being "family friendly". I for one am psyched for the more brutal MCU
@@austinkahle I hope they get him for Secret Wars.
@@CurtisMiller1995 same
I think Thor decapitating Thanos was provoked when Thanos has the gall to voice a faux, half-hearted regret that, "Perhaps I was too cruel to you, daughter." at Nebula. That really gets me because I'm reminded of stories of parents harming their children
Even if that victory was goddamned hollow I agree
People just didn’t understand how crazy strong Wanda is!! Man she’s absolutely terrifying
I have a feeling that if she does “break bad,” she might stay the Scarlet Witch for the X-Men.
May Parker didn’t deserve to die
Which is worse?? Being bombarded by pumpkin grenades like in No Way Home? Or slowly die because of an ungodly bioterrorism like in Spidey PS4??
@@nestorsifuentesaguirre2722 Both
That death felt so rushed
Sam Raimi was too good for the MCU
Agree.
He is after all a horror director
Wale MutiVerse of Madness isn’t Perfect but Sam Rami did a Fantastic job in MCU.
@@seanpvs101moviesproduction3 yep
If Deadpool 3 is successful enough, Marvel might allow more R-rated films, thus possibly making Doctor Strange 3 a full on horror movie directed by Sam Raimi!!! One can only dream
When Wanda literally removed his mouth and then he screamed and killed himself, that was scary and brutal.
Why does everyone forget about the soldier that was thrown into the plane propeller in The First Avenger? 😂
True
Tony Starks was the hardest to watch. The MCU started with him and it really did end with him.
While most feared that he would not come out of the conflict alive no one was prepared for the body horror itself
No. 9, while it is nice to have her as an "Uncle Ben" type figure for MCU Peter without seeing Ben get shot at again this death probably could've been avoided if Peter had texted MJ to push the button on the box and send all the villains back before Goblin's glider hit May
Always said Wanda was THE single most powerful character in the MCU to my mom. If she knew her power when Thanos was messing about it would've been short.
And yet even at the last second she decided that she and no one else should become the multiversal tyrant Chthon wanted so bad
@@nestorsifuentesaguirre2722 that's why on top of numerous reasons she's the strongest. She denied and survived.
That's what you get for having Sam Raimi direct Doctor Strange 2. Make into a superhero horror movie.
Top 10 Best Episodes of the Avengers: Earth's Mightest Heroes!
yeah
Great list, but Nico should’ve been higher, maybe even number 1. That scene and the vision of Captain America’s shield covered in blood still haunts me
20:44 “I used the Time Stone to obtain the Time Stone…apparently”
I heard that one too 😂
There's no way Multiverse of Madness doesn't hold every top slot in this countdown
The fact that Wanda also talks pretty much like Agatha makes it more hilarious, badass, sexy and horrifying
Aunt May’s death broke my heart.
Me too and I cried she deserves Better. 🥺
@@seanpvs101moviesproduction3 Which is worse?? Being bombarded by pumpkin grenades like in No Way Home? Or slowly die because of an ungodly bioterrorism like in Spidey PS4??
@@nestorsifuentesaguirre2722 surviving the grenades and then dying is definitely worse. She was bombed and stabbed within seconds of each moment. She had so much to live for. And after May, Peter had nothing to live for. And after erasing MJ's memories, Peter is now just a ghost, and only Spider Man lives on
@@anubhavdassharma1854 Why do I feel that as a result in the next avengers flicks Spidey will get the symbiote and his target will be not Kang but THE AVENGERS????
@@nestorsifuentesaguirre2722 idk man. But I personally don't think Peter is gonna understand the danger of the symbiote till after secret wars, with the speed at which things are going on
Am I a psychopath for laughing at Black Bolts death? I feel like I am
Wanda in Multiverse of madness is the Wanda we needed to see.
Imo I kinda imagined already that the film would end with the fall of Wungadore but Wanda was the last person I expected who would do it in my mind
No. 12, the funny bit about this death is that she would've survived if Thanos sacrificed his flying throne instead of her

@@BlackHatCinephile nobody wants your pointless spam comment medals . They add nothing just like those pointless comment numbers you try to defend.
@@BlackHatCinephile hey weasel still at it yeah
By far the most beloved characters of the entire MCU, Tony Stark's noble sacrifice was a huge shock to audiences after coming out of Endgame 2019. Not only was his death a natural decision for his character, but it was also quite brutal.
Strange might have accidentally knew about the body horror the combined gems can cause to you
Scarlet Witch killing Professor X was brutal, it was stupid, and didn't make any sense. There's no way she would body Professor X in the Astral Plane. TERRANCE OUT
Gotta love Michael Waldron and his shitty scripts
No. 10, you know this death and Heimdall's could've been avoided if Heimdall had used the Bifrost to send Thanos and his Black Order away deep in space floating aimlessly instead of sending Hulk to warn everyone instead
maybe he only had enough fuel in his body to send one person. Also I'm sure at that point Thanos had the space stone too so it wouldn't Matter so he'd just teleport back and finish what he started.
Wouldn't work cuz he'd be able to just teleport out of there using the space stone
@@dylanburton4955 not before taking it from Loki first they wouldn't have
Im a die hard fan of the MCU, but half of the deaths on this list happened in recent projects and I had forgotten most of them. Hopefully they go for more quality over quantity in the future
Elizabeth Olsen's Voice is Angelic
The Illuminati, definately. I especially hated when Wanda snapped Professor Charles' neck and I shuddered at that.
Gotta now add Miss Minutes in the TVA killing the people in the shrinking death cube.
They really did Wanda dirty in Multiverse of Madness by turning her into an all out villain.
Nah, they did her dirty by making her influenced by a stupid book. Shoulda owned her villainy.
They did her dirty by not even explaining what the Darkhold does. Agents of SHIELD, on the other hand, portrays it SUPER well. I really think that messed things up, not putting more focus on the Darkhold and what it’s capable of
It's comic canon.
but she was an awesome villain
Dr strange multiverse should’ve been marvels first horror film it had the potential
If Deadpool 3 is successful, Marvel could allow more R-rated films... like Doctor Strange 3???
These deaths really got to me in the MCU: Queen Ramonda, Tony Stark/Iron Man, Aunt May Parker (MCU), The Illuminati, Loki. They’re all going to be missed dearly.🥺🥺💔💔
No. 18, honestly her demise would never have happened if Riri had begged and demanded her that they leave together instead of her just staying and stare menacingly
Unfortunately the trailers already suggested Shuri would be the last of her family although part of me wished Riri didn't play her part
@@nestorsifuentesaguirre2722 Yeah, but if the real death of Chadwick Boseman was too hard and sad for everyone, why then kill Queen Ramonda!?; and although her death practically was for Shuri development in her grief process for her brother, it just makes the movie sadder than it already is. Black Panther 2 is too depressing most of the movie, but I still like the movie. And like Thor and Peter Parker, Shuri lost everything and everyone (I don't quite count Wanda at this point because she currently became and is a villain); But this is just my personal opinion.
The deaths that haunt me still are in X-Men: Days of Future Past. I don't know why but man....seeing how each character died is burned into my mind.
Vulture KNEW that gun would've vaporize Shocker 1. He just made that remark so he wouldn't seem too ruthless to his men.
In my school vr game the most over the top marvel theme death is what happened to thane during the tournament of power Goalius saw thane in his mother's infinite armour which got Goalius annoyed big time and when his mother arrived a few seconds later she phase locked thane and Goalius used his anti matter manipulation to rip thane apart molecule by molecule atom by atom leaving only the armour
Anyone who got decapitated was lucky, that dude in moon knight who got disemboweled definitely got the most brutal death he was alive & in pain for the longest during his dying process
No. 7, this death probably wouldn't have happened if Pietro had just grabbed Clint and the kid and moved them out of the way instead of sending in front of them to get shot at
Love your lists!😊😊😊
Bot
obadiah stane, the big Lebowski, great call back in end game👏👌
It was Agatha all along.
Thanos shouldn't even be on this list, let alone so high up. Quick and clean, well deserved, off-camera, execution.
Illuminati death’s definitely #1 brutal deaths and imo the most graphic we’ve seen from an average MCU, PG-13 film. MOM was a low key R rated film especially when it had horror elements.
The Illuminati team would've won if it weren't for Mr. Fantastic's big mouth
His attempt to subdue her by the power of stretchy arm was unbrilliant.
What mouth haha
Deadpool: I suffered at least 21 %$! deaths myself, then got better.
Carter going the way of the handstand guy in F13 3D ftw.
I always thought Rumlow blowing himself up at the start of Civil War was pretty brutal.
No. 20, honestly Stane's death would've gone a lot differently if his suit was slow at flying and Tony just used a tank missile on him instead to blow him up
Hishe??
@@alexisyanez8666 yep
What are kyceliuses followers in the Kamar taj librarians death scene using to hold the librarians legs
I know you’re not including the Netflix shows, but Kingpin using the hammer and the car door…
No. 6, this honestly could've been avoided if Old Man Steve had showed up in his Endgame suit and stopped John Walker from tarnishing the shield and killing that Flag Smasher in public like that
Perhaps one of the most heartbreaking death in the MCU, Tony Stark's parents met a pretty grim end in what could be one of the darkest MCU Films.
If Reed hadn't talked about how powerful Black Bolt was, the fight would have been over early--think about that XD
I wanted to ask Reed where else Blackbolt's whisper would come from, but...
In theory if Thor can defeat thanos and his 6 stones but he can't beat hela then hela can beat thanos. Hela is immune to the hammer then the axe is no exception
Hela was pretty much immortal as long as Asgard existed.
@@Defqonsigliere and since Asgard is a people then that's theoretically an exception
Despite the crap the MCU makes sometimes they can make some peak cinema as well
You know, the fact that Thanos got the soul stone from killing Gemora means he truly loved her.
Gamora's demise was a tough one to watch. As was the Avengers turning to ash after *"The Snap."*
Queen Ramodas death left me speechless.
Crossbone's death was pretty brutal!!
Watching Tony Stark/Iron Man at the end of *"Endgame"* was just *BRUTAL.* He started the MCU and it ended with him.
Queen Ramonda dying still gives me chills.
Walker looks like Carl from Up at 15:57
Wanda vs illuminati would be most brutal and it was even more brutal in the og script's fight
Lets face it: Removig the netflix show is just a way to avoid the kingspins killing with a car door
1. Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness 2. Captain America Civil War 3. Thor Ragnarok 4. Spiderman No Way Home 5. Avengers Infinity War 6. Avengers Endgame 7. Avengers Age of Ultron 8. Spiderman Homecoming
Remember when you could take your kids to a Marvel movie to see their favorite superheroes?
I say that queen Ramonda's death was very emotional and Wanda killing the illuminati was extremely explicit and disturbing 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Quicksilvers death was sad but seems unlikely given his super speed I understand he sacrificed himself to save Hawkeye and the kid but still a lame way for him to die.
gamora & black widow & may Barker death was the heart breaking but Xavier death was scary 😱 I remember screaming when I saw it and still do
Darren Cross in Antman 1 had a great over the top death. It wasn't gory but it was scarier, he was shrinking endlessly. Maybe not "death" per se, but scary ass fate. But then they retconned this with MODOK. A stupid villain.
Iron Man shud of been #1 !!!! I’ll never forget sobbing in the movie theater when I saw this. I was crush saddened pissed all at the same time 😔😭
I think thanos death is even sadder when nebula touches his blood because she has never felt the warmth of his touch
4:21 Edit: clip here for the death of Asgard
Thanos's bare hands isnt actually correct. One hand is gloved with the gauntlet so...bare HAND would be accurate. Just saying. Still 👍
To this day I still can’t forgive Hank Pym for killing Hulk like that.
Most of these aren't over the top. This is just a list of deaths in the MCU.
how are they not over the top
@@jimbo9208 Because he has eyes and is not five years old.
@@oasis6583 that dose not answer the question
@@jimbo9208 Over the top means excessive, extreme and outrageous. Most of these just aren't that. Stane gets blown up, like most other villains. Shocker just gets singed to ash. Nothing too over the top there. If his death was slower or more violent, I'd agree. Ramonda drowns. Tragic, but not over the top. Ajak gets the life slowly drained out of her, it's not like the deviants tore her to pieces. Not over the top. Tony's parents get beaten to death. That could happen to you if you cross the wrong guy at a bar. It's not like they're torn apart or their heads are crushed. Not over the top. Thanos and the librarian get decapitated. While that may be over the top in real life, not so much in movies. Gamora gets thrown off a cliff. If she exploded into a bloody pulp at the bottom, I'd agree that would be over the top, but she didn't. Happy gets a repulser to the head. No different than any other zombie getting shot in the head. Loki gets strangled. Darth Vader did that to the captain of the ship at the beginning of A New Hope and nobody calls that over the top. May's death is just tragic, but not over the top. This video tries to claim that Goblin also blew her up but he didn't. He blew up the parking lot outside the building. Quicksilver just gets shot. Nothing over the top there either.
You know whose death seems the most brutal to me in the MCU….The Grandmaster’s cousin in Ragnarok. Carlo? I can’t remember his name but DAMN!!! Just literally watching him melt and hearing him scream was like ugh!
Black Bolt can destroy you with one whisper from his mouth
Tell me, Mr. Boltagon. What good is a whisper if you are *unable to speak?* 😉
IMO Sharon's death in What If?'s Zombie Ep was more brutal then Happy's...great List, regardless though 👍🏾
What about Agent Coulson? Or the guy that got turned into a little glob of goo in Antman by Darren Cross? Proxima Midnight's death was pretty over-the-top.
Or the Kurse.
I'll never understand why quicksilver didn't just move Hawkeye out of the way
124: Definitely The Illuminati
At the end he asked, "Did you enjoy the video?". Man, I'm horrified.
*Mr Fantastic revealing homies 1 great power way too early ultimately getting him killed first was the BIGGEST L* 😂
Isn’t one of the hands meant to be on the back of the head for a movie neck snap?
