What are your top 3 death scenes in the MCU that made you genuinely cry?!
SpoilerFilm/TelevisionThe Ravager funeral along with Father and Son by Cat Stevens was just 😪🤧
Yep to this. Yondu hits pretty hard. Maybe the hardest that I can think of.
Besides all those mentioned so far, I'd mention when Stan died, and I saw spiderverse with my kids, his line "don't worry, the suit will fit--eventually", even with the joke about no returns the line shines through a bit, and hits the feels.
I was about to say this
I lost it when kraglin started chearing
Yep.
Hit like a sledgehammer.
The man who was my stepfather adopted me and became my father legally. He was abusive physically and emotionally but less so than my biological father. My relationship with him was complicated but, he wasn't my biological father who I watched try to strangle my mother to death when I was 4. He passed and I spoke at his funeral and specifically referred to him as my dad and spoke about the difference between father and dad. When Yandu gave his last words in that movie, my wife knew to watch and hug me in the theater because that hit me hard. Like Quill my relationship was complicated, and that's the best I can say.
Rocket asking "Can I come too?" Just broke my heart
That movie had no business destroying our souls like that
I don’t give a damn if they’re CGI animals, I refuse to watch GOG3 for the sake of my mental health.
That had me going pretty hard, but Nebula's reaction to hearing Rocket was okay was like alcohol on a cut - it hurt, but was a good thing.
Her & Rocket had that 5 year span to get close as friends during the 'Blip' - plus all the different "favors" they did for each other since, showed their fondness OF each other : The exchanges of arms so-to-speak.....
"I'm not a raccoon"
Not a death but another chance to speak after death came between them. Thor and Frig in Endgame. Anyone who lost a loved one will know. Was not ready for that in the theater.
That is one of the most important scenes in all the MCU to me. So touching. It got to me before, but having lost my Mum in January means even more to me now.
I wish I could get a few more moments with my Mum.
That sucks and I completely understand the feeling. If only, seems like the longest sentence in the English language. Remember the good times and do something you would've done together, it helps.
That hit a nerve to.....
That hit a nerve to.....
Tony,Aunt May,and Yondu
I completely agree.
Yeah, same 3. Especially Tony in Endgame
Are we forgetting Floor, Teefs, and Lylla?
I watched that movie totally blind from the comics or knowledge of the universe.
That whole movie crushed me.
ROCKET TEEFS FLOOR GO NOW
That line hits so hard. For starters, Floors portrayal has a childlike innocence to it. The inability to formulate a complete sentence adds to that effect. Second, whether intentional or not, I think about a rabbits fight or flight instincts. Floor begging Rocket is part of her nature when feeling threatened. Lastly, the frantic delivery comes off so naturally. Hollywood can overdramatacize certain things, but sometimes less is more. There’s so much drama and emotion in so few words. It’s up there with Peter repeating “I don’t wanna go. I don’t wanna go.” before dusting away. I wonder if the voice actress knew just how powerful a moment that would be. You sign up for a seemingly small role and then wind up with one of the most emotionally charged lines in the MCU.
Frigga just for Loki’s reaction alone
We are Groot
"Bury me in the ocean, with my ancestors that jumped from the ships, because they knew death was better than bondage"
+Chadwick had suggested the dialogue change; original script had Killmonger requesting to be buried in Wakanda.
Wait the idea was from Chadwick? I mean I'm not surprised, he did a lot of racial prejudice movies
I’d read that line was in the first draft of the script and the writer was told that no matter how many changes the script went through, he should always keep that line
More than any line in the MCU, does that one hit me the hardest in terms of putting me in a sober pause.
I’m a white guy, so I genuinely cannot understand that struggle, but as someone who would prefer freedom at all cost to being chained up by an easy decision, I felt that line went beyond just the context of Marvel.
Well said. For real thanks
The delivery of that line came off cringey asf and ruined the scene.
Why?
That person won't answer but I will for them. Cognitive dissonance
It's such a great line that is 100% inline with his character.
Like, if a common complaint of the MCU is, "x character wouldn't say/do x" then this is a perfect example of, "Killmonger would absolutely believe this with the entirety of his being."
The line worked 100%. Some people don't want to understand what it means though. Cuz its honestly a terrible thing that happened and it hurts to think about
Honestly my top 3 are 3.Loki in his final moments he gave it is all to try stop thanos only to be killed in front of his brother and to have his body floating around in space, 2.Vision he was weak from fighting Corvus Glaive but still saved Steve’s life and told Wanda it was ok to kill h if it meant saving the universe only to have it undone, 3.Natasha she fought to sacrifice herself to redeem herself for her past as a assassin,
Pains me I had to scroll so long to find someone as well to find Vision's death one of the most saddest/painful.
Peter Parker in Infinity War got me the most. Him being legit scared and asking Tony for help crushed me.
I’m sure it’s just fan conjunction, but the headcanon that he freaks out so hard because his Spider-Sense is going into maximum overdrive, always makes that scene go a bit harder to me.
I only got to watch it like a year after it came out, so I knew it was coming. I knew going in that “okay, a bunch of characters are going to turn to dust, and Spider-Man is going to beg for help.” And it didn’t matter. There’s such a huge difference between knowing it’s coming and actually watching it happen. I sobbed for a solid 5 minutes after it ended, it destroyed me
I have a fun story. When watching no way home for the first time I was next to a guy who seemed not at all interested in the movie with some of his slight remarks or expressions through noise. Wanna know what he did during aunt May’s death? He laughed😸 yeah so it ruined the whole moment for me and I couldn’t express sadness through tears unfortunately because I have this guy next to me complaining or laughing. Like when Peter went on to talk to the two spider-man’s for the very first time and he said they didn’t get it the same guy next to me exclaimed annoyance💀 like bro- he just- nvm
that guy was/is a sociopath
May absolutely destroyed me.
Groot sacrificing himself to save his friends with the “we are Groot” line broke my heart.
Black Widow hit me hard. When Endgame came out, I had recently had a huge falling out with my best friend. I’m a guy and she’s a girl. Our friendship always kind of reminded me of Clint and Nat. Watching Clint lose his best friend just felt super relatable in that moment.
MODOK death.
He's not an asshole
He died as an Avenger.
So sad, so sad
The beginning of Black Panther 2. Thinking back to Chadwick's death breaks my fucking heart, so "seeing" Black Panther flat line kills me.
That was a rough watch. I went into it not knowing how they would handle his death, and my wife and I were sobbing that entire scene. I'm dealing with stage IV colon cancer myself and have been the last 3 years, so it really got close to home.
You can only watch that movie maybe once or twice in your lifetime.
The only time i cried during a MCU movie was in GOTG 1, when Gamora was reaching for Peter’s hand and he sees his mother. I don’t know why, but that got a few tears from me.
Yondu, Widow, Fitz....yes I count AOS.
just started AoS… Fitz dies? I’m on season two where his frontal lobe js damaged
Oh man. Turbo is in for a ride.
im assuming he is somehow resurrected from the dead though like almost every other character in the show. Still, I thought him and Simmons got married in the end.
Let's just say things go off the rails around season 4 and instead of trying to correct it they just leaned really into it.
Not MCU but Logan.
That movie was so good but it’s so hard to watch. So depressing.
Fake Vision(wandavison) Scarlet witch Black widow
Sorry, I know there is a lot of tragedy surrounding these characters. I was gonna say Lola, but she wasn't around as long
Jack Murdock, Tony Stark and when Thanos snapped
Yondu, but not until the funeral scene.
Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is probably the only Mcu movie I felt emotions like this. I LOVE Spider-Man but didn't feel anything when he was snapped into dust. Iron man? He had a good run. Cyclops from the X-men movies? Still a little sadly about that one. Vision? Meh. Linda cardellini as lylla...... GOTG 3 is the end of the Mcu in my own personal head cannon.
- I wasn’t ready for Aunt May!!! I think I yelled (in the movie theater) “oh hell nah…that’s some BS!”
- Queen Frigga (the funeral was a tear jerker)
- Quicksilver “You didn’t see that coming” (Wanda’s initial reaction was 💔)
I agree
Rocket, Yondu, and Tony.
Tony all the way. I still relive that some times. My wife and I bawled our eyes out
Starlords mom dying, it hit too close to home, I skip that scene now when I watch.
They've never made me cry, but I think the saddest so far were:
- Aunt May
- Vision
- Peggy Carter
"WE ARE GROOT."
Spiderman in Infinity War, Gambit in XMen '97 and The Winter Soldier when he became Bucky
Yondu is a big one, man. His death, but also his speech to Rocket hits hard.
Loki’s death it hard
I agree. It hit different because it was the “first one”. Til that moment tragedies were implied but not really shown. His death was swift, and brutal all at once. It set the tone for how bad things were about to get. It left a feeling of helplessness and hopelessness at the same time. I found that moment to be one of the most humanizing moment in the MCU. (As gods, aliens and talking animals float through outer space in a spaceship)
Specially after he had faked his death so many times, it was like the moment he turned to the good side he died trying to protect his loved ones
Zero.
rocket omfg broke my heart ... but its not a death its wanda when she finally excepted she was the badguy . and the other one said "Know that they will be loved " i teared up heavy
I got to see No Way Home the Monday after opening weekend (so like the 4th day it was in theatres), and the atmosphere was awesome. People were cracking jokes out loud and no one was shushing them because we were all having a great time. We were all fans here to joke and gasp and laugh. But when Aunt May’s death scene started? The entire theatre was dead silent. You could feel the energy just drop. I remember whispering to myself “no, no, no, they wouldn’t. They fucking wouldn’t.” And when she got up, the energy returned a bit. A wave of relief washed over the audience. And then she died. It was a fucking roller coaster, and we were strapped in tight
The way Aunt May reiterated the line "with great power......" while she was struggling to breath was too real......
Rocket’s friends messed me up emotionally.
“So this is what it feels like…”
“Daddy…”
:’(
Eh, none to be honest.
Tony and Thanos
Tony
Yondu
Lyla
T'Challa
Definitely those three plus Tony
Yondu, Natasha and Tony.
Aunt may pietro Peter in infinity war
"He may be your father, but I'm your daddy."
Yondu’s relationship with Rocket and Quill and then his subsequent death remains the big reason I will endlessly defend my position that Guardians 2 is the best MCU movie.
I am actually so pumped to see Gunn’s Superman, my favourite superhero. I know he’s gonna handle the emotions and themes correctly.
Only Tony.
Mr stark I don’t feel so good
T’challa. Because Chadwick was gone and we will never see him again. I kept thinking about his family. I wish them well.
Yondu is the only one, but I cried at the end of GOTG 3 as well. Nothing else in the MCU comes close to the GOTG trilogy.
They're all in the image. The entire ending of GotG3 gets me bawling.
Yinsen!!!!
Vision's death, plus Wanda loosing her parents.
Peter Quill's mom's death.
Iron Man's death
Peter Parker
none of them tbh
Black Widow, Aunt May, and Yondu
Black Widow's is the one that gutted me the most.
The only time I actually teared up in the theatre was Shuri at Queen Ramonda’s funeral when she said “The last person who truly knew me is dead. My heart was buried along with her”
I have not watched endgame yet I probably shouldn't be here right now
Has got to be yondu for me. Watching guardians 2 made me realise that I haven't really appreciated my dad enough.

That.... that's aunt may....
If war machine died in civil war
So many good ones here. But my favorite was Loki just for the theater reaction on release night. So many screams of anguish hahah.
Unfortunately none
Kilmonger, when he was dying and said how beautiful his dad said the sunset was I lost it.
Tony
Natasha
Vision
Clint’s family
Tony Stark in Endgame
Rockets Friends in GOTG3
T'Challa in Wakanda Forever.
May's death is the reason I will not watch any more MCU Spider-Man movies.
Gonna cry?
Already did, thanks.
May's death was sudden and shocking and brought up memories surrounding my mom's death, and associated guilty feelings.
So thanks for the sarcasm 👍
Well sorry for your loss but you could have phrased your first comment better
I'm going to put some dirt in your eye
Rocket, May, Tony.
None of them.
That's tough. Tony, Loki and Nat probably.
I dont cry. I guess im just mysterious like that
cringe
Me too but it's not mystery, it's antidepressants and emotional repression. GotG 3 still hit like a truck
Very few people are going to cry for the MCU...
my whole theater was sobbing at the end of Endgame

Yondu's death came a little after I lost my dad. I did not see this coming, but I was fuckin' bawling in that cinema.
