Missed Moment Of Awesome was renamed to Offscreen Moment Of Awesome and refers to events that take place off-screen rather than events which did not take place at all or failed to be sufficiently epic


* Hawkeye, although he's only in the film for a minute or so, and [[MissedMomentOfAwesome doesn't actually get to do anything]], gets his scene when passing over a small armory of weapons, to pick the simple bow he's famous for.

* The giants summon the world serpent (which encircles the entire Earth) who is destined to kill and be killed by Thor at the end of time. Some of the best dialog I have read in a comic ensues in Thor #379 as the world serpent appears in another guise as a dragon to find Thor and fails to recognize him due to the armor.

** And the way he quips the whole time.
---> '''Barton''': Are you going to let me slow him down, or are you going to send more men in for him to beat up? You better make the call soon Coulson, I'm starting to root for this guy.



* Thor rampaging his way through the S.H.I.E.L.D. crash site to get to Mjölnir is awesome in and of itself. He goes through the fence, beats up some guys and steals a jacket. Then he goes inside and just beats the crap out of anyone who gets in his way and makes it to Mjölnir. Okay, one guy just beat the ever-loving crap out of a full squad of BadAss S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives. That's awesome, but a little FridgeLogic doubles the amount of awesome because he did it ''without killing'' '''''anyone'''''. Thor is a BadAss and a BloodKnight and a BoisterousBruiser but he's still TheHero. He just has a lesson to learn.

* Loki. Just Loki. In the comics, he is a complete moron, whose plans are almost always doomed to failure without Thor's interference. Here, he is actually a competent villain, almost frighteningly so, especially because he's such a good actor, that if the audience didn't know he was a villain from the start they wouldn't have realized until he revealled [[spoiler: he was a frost giant prince.]] And with more character depth that has been seen in a good many years. I found it very hard not to root for him throughout the entire movie.
** Loki stands between a frost giant and a long fall. Loki has a scared look on his face as the giant charges towards him... only to pass right through him and fall to his death. Loki pokes his head out from behind a pillar, and turns off his illusion with a smirk.
** Loki freezes Heimdall, not even flinching as his sword inches closer to his neck.
** Loki's final scene. [[spoiler: He survived being flung into the depths of the universe and drifting through the closing remnants of the Bifrost, to land on earth and begin to investigate what looks like the cosmic cube.]]

* Sif and the Destroyer have a combined one. First, Sif jumps down and impales the Destroyer through its open face plate just as it's about to fry Volstagg. This is cool enough... but then, the Destroyer ''reverses its entire body'' so that it can pull itself up off the spear and take on Sif immediately. It literally rotates around the various grooves on its body.

** Two decades later in Thor: God-Size, they established that bringing Skurge back to life would [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt destroy the entire Marvel multiverse]] in a story that was just as manly, just as epic, and just as much of a ''TearJerker''.
** And from that same run but on the other end of the spectrum, we have the time Thor hit a serpent the size of a small state so hard that it breaks every bone in ''both'' of their bodies. The explosion was so big the [[WrittenSoundEffect sound effect]] had ''seventeen [=Os=]''.
