Marvel fans recall moments they feared for their favorite heroes

Fans on Reddit have been picking MCU moments that genuinely made them fear the heroes might lose. The thread collected scenes that left viewers convinced the bad guys could win.

Many highlighted the one-on-one confrontations with Thanos — Captain America facing him alone and Iron Man’s fight in Infinity War — moments that felt like the end for their favorite characters.

Others pointed to Spider-Man: No Way Home, when Peter’s (Tom Holland) spidey sense finally went off and Norman dropped the act, a brief beat that sharply raised the tension in an otherwise low-key scene.

The deaths of Vision in Avengers: Infinity War and Wanda’s helplessness also featured prominently, recalled for their emotional impact. The thread suggested this kind of dread could return when Robert Downey Jr returns to bring Doom in Avengers: Doomsday.
