00:00Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're counting down our picks for the most impactful and

00:12enjoyable superhero moments of the 2020s so far.

00:15There will be spoilers ahead and we'll only be including movie scenes because TV moments

00:20deserve their own list.

00:28Number 10 – The Thunderbolts Stop the Void – Thunderbolts

00:48These ragtag antiheroes had a lot to prove and in this ending they deliver.

00:52After Yelena helps Bob confront the void, the dark embodiment of his depression, he finds

00:57the strength to fight back and beat it down.

00:59But his team knows that burying your darkness is just another way of being consumed by it.

01:05In a touching moment, the thunderbolts rally around Bob showing that moving forward doesn't

01:19have to be done alone.

01:20The climax didn't have the typical MCU fireworks, but that's what made it special.

01:25Instead of going for the spectacle, the conclusion was much more quiet and heartfelt, and it was

01:30a breath of fresh air.

01:32Number 9 – Mutants vs. Mobsters Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Mutant Mayhem

01:54After their brief live-action run in the 2010s, the half-shell heroes made a bold comeback

01:58with Mutant Mayhem, a reboot that brought an energy and style to the teenage part of

02:02their name.

02:03Nowhere is this more clear than in its glorious fight montage.

02:07It kicks off with the turtles barging into a series of gangster hideouts, and once the

02:10action starts, the music hits hard.

02:13The animated combat is fluid and fun, cutting seamlessly between a mattress store, poker

02:23room, billiards hall, restaurant, and slaughterhouse.

02:26Each brother gets his moment to shine blending badass moves with hilarious slapstick comedy.

02:30It's about everything you could want from a modern Ninja Turtle adventure.

02:33Number 8 – Destroying the Time Ripper – Deadpool & Wolverine

02:54What could have been a simple buddy comedy became one of the decade's most heartfelt

02:58superhero stories.

03:00This due in no small part to the bromance at the core of the film.

03:03After clashing for most of the runtime, Deadpool and Wolverine finally unite to destroy the

03:07reality-threatening Time Ripper.

03:09They're both ready to sacrifice themselves to save the other, but in true heroic fashion,

03:14they decide to share the burden.

03:16The Wolverine is a hero in my world.

03:22Whoever you think I am, you got the wrong guy.

03:26You were always the wrong guy, until you weren't.

03:31You get surprisingly emotional when Wade reflects on the people he's loved, while Logan conquers

03:35his grief for becoming an X-Man once again.

03:37Of course, they end up surviving the ordeal, but that doesn't undercut the comedy and heart

03:42of this climax.

03:55Number 7 – Wanda takes down the Illuminati – Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

04:00The introduction of the secretive super team was already a huge fanservice moment.

04:17The slaughter that followed was even more of a spectacle straight out of a comic book.

04:20When the Scarlet Witch's rampage reaches the Illuminati, she effortlessly and brutally takes

04:25out Black Bow and Mr. Fantastic.

04:28Captains Marvel and Carter put up more of a fight in an epic 2v1, but they meet similarly

04:32violent ends.

04:42By the time Wanda encounters the powerful telepath Professor X, even he doesn't stand a chance.

04:47The whole sequence is pretty gruesome, but it's immediately some of the most fun superhero

04:51action ever put to screen.

05:07Number 6 – Harley's Hallway Rampage – The Suicide Squad

05:16Margot Robbie as the villain turned anti-hero is one of the best movie castings of all time.

05:21Not only does she make Harley's craziness look appealing, she nails the character's

05:25physicality.

05:26After breaking out of prison using her gymnastics skills, performed by the actress herself,

05:30Harley fights her way out the fortress.

05:42Throughout the scene, she uses handguns, assault rifles, her dress, and a javelin, all while

05:46looking like she's having the time of her life.

05:48It's one of DC's most fun action sequences yet, accompanied by colorful visuals and music

05:53that perfectly captures Harley's personality.

06:00Number 5 – Peter's 1, 2, and 3 – Spider-Man No Way Home

06:05This cinematic Spider-Man team-up did not disappoint.

06:22We were practically cheering in the theater when they came together to confront their enemies.

06:25However, their pre-battle conversation was straight out of our dreams.

06:29Watching the wall crawlers casually chat about their powers and express a bit of jealousy is

06:33just as fun as watching them fight bad guys.

06:35Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland have surprisingly comedic chemistry.

07:00They bounce off each other as if they were actually variants of the same person.

07:04We seriously could spend hours watching them geek out over their respective histories.

07:07All right, let's do this, ready?

07:08Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

07:09I love you guys.

07:11All right, let's do this.

07:12Let's go.

07:13Number 4 – Wakanda Celebrates Their King, Black Panther Wakanda Forever.

07:30This sequel serves as a heartfelt tribute to Chadwick Boseman's life and legacy.

07:35It opens up with a powerful Wakandan funeral, capturing the grief inflicted on T'Challa's

07:40family.

07:41It appears as though the entire nation is gathered to mourn their fallen king.

07:44The Golden City procession, rich with artistic tribute attire and lively music and dance,

07:49is both a celebration of life and African culture.

08:05For a man whose presence resonated both on and off screen, there couldn't be a more

08:09fitting farewell that's as deeply emotional, visually stunning, or culturally meaningful

08:13as this.

08:16Number 3 – Dog Days Are Over – Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

08:34After Endgame closed the book on the original Avengers, it was time for everyone's favorite

08:39cosmic heroes to take their final bow.

08:41Following the High Evolutionary's defeat and one hell of a hallway fight, the Guardians

08:46go their separate ways, growing into the people they help each other become.

08:49Quill returns to his family on Earth while Mantis leaves to discover who she is.

08:53I'll come with you.

08:54No, Trax.

08:55That's the whole point.

08:56But you need someone to protect you.

08:58I don't.

08:59Not in a bad way.

09:00Just because of your incredible weakness.

09:02Oh my gosh, you're so frustrating.

09:04Trax.

09:05In true Guardians fashion, the rest dance the night away in a sequence that's both joyful

09:10and bittersweet.

09:12Even Drax joins in as his fellow misfits howl into the sky, finally embracing who they

09:16are.

09:17It may be the end of this iteration of the Guardians, but we couldn't ask for a more satisfying

09:21end.

09:22Number 2.

09:23Arkham Interrogation.

09:24The Batman.

09:25I told you I'd see you in hell.

09:26What do you want from me?

09:27What?

09:28If only you knew how long I've been waiting for this day.

09:29The newest cinematic take on the character offers plenty of standout moments.

09:45Batman becoming the symbol of hope is particularly memorable.

09:48But it just wouldn't be a Batman movie without a thrilling interrogation.

09:52It starts with the Riddler ominously repeating the name Bruce Wayne.

09:56Both Batman and the audience are led to believe that he deduced his secret identity.

10:00Bruce Wayne.

10:05In a shocking twist, he reveals that he doesn't actually know who's beneath the mask.

10:11Batman then gives him a cruel reality check, only to realize that the Riddler still has

10:15one final riddle for him to solve.

10:17Robert Pattinson effortlessly conveys emotion through his eyes, and Paul Dano's chilling

10:22performance makes this the best scene.

10:24This is not how this was supposed to go!

10:30I had it all planned out!

10:37Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.

10:40The Scarab fuses the Jaime, Blue Beetle.

10:43A suit-up that's much more body horror than Iron Man.

10:55What the...?

10:57Ghost acquired.

10:59Who sent that?

11:01System configuration initializing.

11:03Wait, you don't hear that?

11:04Shadow Realm Showdown, Thor Love and Thunder.

11:07A spectacular fight in a not-so-spectacular movie.

11:22Bridge Ambush, Black Widow.

11:26Natasha meets her match in Taskmaster.

11:28You should know I'm a better shot than I'm pissed off.

11:41Runaway Bust, Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings.

11:44A martial arts set piece that would make Jackie Chan proud.

11:59Entering the Speed Force, Zack Snyder's Justice League.

12:01The Flash makes his own future and saves the world.

12:04Make your own future.

12:14Make your own past.

12:31Number 1.

12:33Miles escapes Spider Society.

12:35Spider-Man across the Spider-Verse.

12:37Do you think spider people too often use comedy as crutch?

12:40Get it?

12:41Crutch?

12:42I can do anything he can.

12:44Oh, dang, I pulled something.

12:46No!

12:47After chasing the dimension breaking villain known as Spot, Miles finds himself at Spider Society, only to be hunted down in a high-stakes chase.

12:54There isn't enough time to pick out every visual gag and bit of fan service.

12:58Yet, while the action is fun and vibrant, it's not without its emotional beats.

13:02When Miles is cornered atop a speeding train, he's hit with a crushing truth.

13:06He was never meant to become Spider-Man, and he's responsible for the Spot's creation.

13:10There's a world out there with no Spider-Man to protect them because it bit you instead.

13:15No!

13:16You're not supposed to be Spider-Man!

13:17No!

13:18You're lying!

13:19I'm Spider-Man!

13:20You're a mistake!

13:21But that's not enough to stop him from fighting.

13:25With his family and world at stake, Miles refuses to back down.

13:28For someone who's not supposed to be Spider-Man, Miles proves that all you need is a selfless heart to defy faith.

13:34Everyone keeps telling me how my story is supposed to go.

13:39Nah.

13:40I'm gonna do my own thing.

13:43What superhero movie do you think will be considered the best one ever?
