History Narm / KingdomHearts

* The Olympus Coliseum sees Hercules be depressed for the majority of the worlds story after Hercules fails to stop the Hydras rampage. This would be understandable had there not been a lack of victims shown or even any NPC's shown in the world at all in the Coliseum aside from Herc, Meg, Pegasus, and Phil. It makes Hercules look less like he is lamenting a failure to protect others and more like he is upset over a damaged building that could be rebuilt.

* Goofy's "death" scene in the 1000 Heartless battle. The game plays this very seriously, with Mickey going on about how they'll pay for this...only for the next cutscene after to show Goofy alive and well, because the boulder just knocked him out and nobody bothered checking for a pulse or any sign that he was alive or dead. It's just a very strange scene whose intention feels confusing, especially considering that [[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt many people wouldn't have bought Goofy dying in the first place]], given his status as your party member and an important Disney character. The biggest hint that its humor value might have been intentional was Goofy's line to a relieved Mickey: [[LampshadeHanging "Garsh, your majesty, I get bumped on the head all the time!"]][[invoked]]

* Due to GameplayStorySegregation, we have a scene where Kairi and Riku [[spoiler: are both wielding Keyblades and having trouble...against ''[[CutsceneIncompetence common Shadow Heartless]]''. Kairi swings at a Shadow and misses badly, but at least she has the excuse of no experience; after everything he went through, Riku swings twice only to have the Shadow dodge by ''jumping over his head'' BOTH TIMES.]]

** Frollo singlehandedly capturing Esmeralda...and dragging her back through all of Paris to burn her at the stake in front of Notre Dame, since we never see any guard minions to back him up.
** The climax of Riku's storyline is downright nonsensical with Frollo being on top of Notre Dame...while Quasimodo is just standing in the square below with Esmeralda. The worst example has to be Frollo getting randomly knocked off by the Wargoyle and plunging into the fires below, grinning like a loon and surrounded by the festive, colorful sparkles of his Dream Eater minion. Thankfully Sora's route is better about adapting the original movie climax.

-->'''Sora''': Wow. [[LampshadeHanging I don't know what that was,]] but ''wow''.

''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' has some [[Funny/KingdomHearts unironically funny]] moments. But there are some... [[{{Narm}} awkward]] moments that can make players cringe. Most of the fanbase see these as NarmCharm though.
