This approach typically results in pretty dumb quotes that end up being remembered as cringe-worthy rather than actually funny.
Sometimes, the MCU’s dumb lines don’t just come from failed humor.
10"Just… don’t be a d**k!"

One of the worst examples comes from Cassie Lang’s (Kathryn Newton) final confrontation with M.O.D.O.K.
(Corey Stoll).
8"Dab!"

7"My name is Darren, and I am not a d***!"
Darren Cross/M.O.D.O.K.
Obviously, the redemption arc they venture to give him is poorly done, as well.
The entireAnt-Mancast deserved better thanAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
6"Kang!
You lied to me!

Our word is our bond!"
So when he seeks out Kang in the film’s final battle, he shouts, “Kang!
You lied to me!
Our word is our bond!”
Scott knows the evil that exists in the universe;he fought Thanos with the Avengers.
For him to genuinely believe Kang is ridiculous and proof that he really shouldn’t be an Avenger.

5"Eat my hammer!"
The line makes Jane sound ridiculous and amateurish.
It feels out of character for her and is just childish-sounding in a bad way.
4"They will never know what you sacrificed for them."
As established earlier,Wandavisionhas the nasty habit of justifying Wanda’s horrible actions.
She held an entire town hostage for a long time; don’t justify it!

3"Scooby-Doo this sh**!"
Most of the time, especially in these films, the humor works.
But the infamous Scooby-Doo inSpider-Man: No Way Homewascringey before the film even came out.

Doctor Strange tells Pete and his pals to “Scooby-Doo this sh**!”
2"The Illumi-what-y?"
In the firstDoctor Strangefilm, Stephen is characterized as a witty guy who’s also incredibly smart.

However, it becomes horribly pointless and ridiculous when put into context.
The biggest problem is what Spider-Man initially said makes absolute and total sense.
It’s astoundingly easy to understand and adds a bit of gravitas to Spidey’s plot in the movie.
