00:07Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're counting down our picks for the scenes from Marvel
00:12films that made us relate to the larger than life heroes.
00:16As we'll be discussing a few impactful moments, expect some minor spoilers.
00:38Scott Lang, who inherited the mantle of Ant-Man in the film with the same name, has always
00:43been relatable, almost stumbling into his superhero role.
00:46Just like us, he's geeked out over meeting celebrities.
00:49The man out of time and first Avenger Captain America is as big as celebrities come in
00:54the MCU.
01:03Introduced to Cap by mutual acquaintance Falcon to help in the superhero dust-up, Ant-Man
01:08immediately begins to geek out, gushing over his hero.
01:11Honestly, if we got to meet Captain America, we would probably shake his hand way too much
01:16as well.
01:16We're outside the law on this one.
01:19So if you come with us, you're a wanted man.
01:21Yeah, well, what else is new?
01:239.
01:23Peter B. Parker enjoying his burger, Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse.
01:35After a long day of work of superheroing, who doesn't love to unwind with some comfort food?
01:40Already the most relatable version of Spider-Man, Peter B. Parker certainly does.
01:44A little more schlubby and down on his luck than his multiversal counterpart, Peter feels
01:49some questions from would-be protege Miles Morales while they stop by a diner.
02:03Peter's advice to Miles is to the point and practical, but he's more focused on enjoying
02:08his meal.
02:08Well, given that the place closed six years prior in his reality, we can't blame him
02:12for enjoying his favorite burger and one he had long missed.
02:16You can teach me to swing on the way there.
02:208.
02:21Franklin's Booster Seat, The Fantastic Four First Steps.
02:32While the Fantastic Four's entry into the MCU was full of spectacular sci-fi action and
02:36superhero antics, those moments were always grounded by the fact that this team is a family.
02:42Refreshingly, we see Marvel's first family preparing to welcome a new member.
02:45Even if some of the baby preparations are a little more sci-fi than they are used to.
03:01We see his parents, Sue and Reed, along with his uncles, Johnny and Ben, figuring out how
03:06to care for a newborn Franklin.
03:08Whether it be working on a crib or protecting them from an intergalactic planet eater.
03:12Nowhere in the film is the sci-fi family made more relatable than when they are trying to
03:17strap Franklin to his car seat.
03:18In a flying car, of course.
03:213, 2, 1.
03:24Oh!
03:25Yes!
03:25Oh, that's a good sound.
03:27Yes!
03:28All right.
03:28Okay.
03:29We're ready.
03:317.
03:32Hulk Takes the Stairs, Avengers Endgame.
03:35Due to the time travel nature of the film, Endgame gave audiences an opportunity to look
03:40at many previous Marvel films from new points of view.
03:56This included the moments after victory in the first Avengers film, showing the heroes
04:01being rather normal people and dealing with the monotony that came after battle.
04:04Hulk, still big and green, for example, is unable to take the elevator with his friends.
04:14Whether it be because it's out of order or there's just no space, anyone who has been
04:19forced to take the stairs from a tall floor can certainly understand the outburst from
04:24the Hulk.
04:24Hulk, we hate stairs too, buddy.
04:27No!
04:28Stairs!
04:30No!
04:32No!
04:33The Avengers
04:34Have you ever tried shawarma?
04:36There's a shawarma joint about two blocks from here.
04:39I don't know what it is, but I want to try it.
04:40• While few of us have used our mechanical suits to kill an alien monster from the inside,
04:45we all have had rough days at work, and that's exactly what's happening to Tony Stark
04:50during the Battle of New York.
04:51bruised and battered tony notices a swarmer place and then shawarma after despite not having tried
04:57the dish before he suggested to the other members of the avengers to grab some once the battle
05:01finished sure enough after a long day the work friends headed to grab some food and decompress
05:07at the shawarma place as shown in the post-credits scene they sit silently enjoying their food and
05:13decompressing number five the avengers try to lift thor's hammer avengers age of ultron
05:27thanks to an enchantment placed upon it by odin thor's mighty hammer could only be lifted by
05:32one worthy one evening after a bit of celebrating the other avengers decided to try their best at
05:38lifting muir and air for the science-minded tony it was simply a problem to be solved with technology
05:43and brute force and a bit of help from roadie are you even pulling are you on my team just
05:49represent pull all right let's go after that proved unsuccessful bruce banner gave it a try briefly
05:55pretending to hulk out for natasha it wasn't a question she needed answered finally captain
06:00america gave it a try and for a moment it seemed to budge come on cap
06:14nothing however none were able or at least with cap willing to handle the hammer leading to a moment
06:20of relief from the norse god number four heartbroken peter spider-man 2
06:24hi oh you listen i'm sorry but there was a disturbance i don't know you
06:37and i can't keep thinking about you it's too painful since his debut in comics in the 1960s
06:44spider-man has been consistently named as one of the most relatable superheroes this comes largely from
06:50the fact that stanley gave him real problems with the readers caring about peter's personal issues
06:54as much as they care about spider-man's battles those relatable qualities and struggles were
06:59perfectly translated to the screen in sam raimi's trilogy particularly with spider-man 2 while trying
07:04to get his life on track he attended a party where everything going wrong in his life came to head
07:09you stole my father's love and you let him die because he didn't turn into freak isn't that right
07:18huh isn't that right huh brother after being slapped by his best friend he witnessed the love of his
07:25life being proposed to forced to take a picture of the moment the poor guy couldn't even get a drink
07:30after beautiful miss mary jane watson has just agreed to marry me
07:41number three thor is still worthy avengers end game after not going for the head and failing to
07:47stop thanos thor fell into a deep depression already reeling from the deaths of his mother
07:52brother father friends in a breakup with jane foster he isolated himself from the world and gained weight
07:58i was raised by witch's boy i see with more than eyes you know that
08:07i'm totally from the future
08:10end game saw him heading back in time to just moments before his mother died quickly spotted by
08:15mom he had a healing conversation with her before summoning mjolnir for a moment thor was unsure if his
08:21hammer destroyed in his time would come to him fearing his trauma had left him broken everyone fails to
08:26who they're supposed to be thor the measure of a person of a hero is how well they succeed at
08:34being
08:34who they are nevertheless it flew right into his hand proving that the god of thunder is still worthy
08:41just as we are when we feel at our lowest
08:50i'm so worthy number two yelena's burnout thunderbolts i thought it started when my sister died but
08:58now it feels like something bigger
09:04just a void
09:08anyone who has gone through a rough mental health stint or become numb to the monotony of their job
09:13can certainly relate to yelena and thunderbolts going through the motions in her role as an assassin
09:18she took little joy from anything in life desiring something more and reliving her biggest regrets
09:23at first she chose to bury her memories with alcohol and try to ignore them
09:27i don't have anything anymore
09:31all i do is sit and look at my phone
09:36and think of all the terrible things that i've done and then i go to work
09:40and then i drink and then i come home to no one
09:43and i sit and i think about all the terrible things i've done again and again
09:47stop stop we all have things that we regret
09:50no but i have so many
09:52over the course of the film she learns healthier coping mechanisms facing her memories and connecting
09:57with other broken souls the listlessness she feels in her struggles make her one of the most
10:02real and relatable marvel characters in recent years
