Doesn't say what's supposedly funny, just that the drama falls flat. Also, it's not unusual to receive bad news like that over text, so I'm confused why the entry acts like that's so implausible.


* Cap receives the news of Peggy's passing as a ''text message''. Such dreadful, personal news being given to him so very informally drains a lot of the drama from the moment.

Misuse of Narm, doesn't explain that it's funny, just that it makes no sense.


* "They'll never know what you sacrificed for them". This line would have been poignant, had it not been for the fact that Wanda took an entire town mentally hostage; so she could play house with a robot and some imaginary children.

...No, I don't have to wonder that. The scene isn't in any way framed to suggest that's why he threw her off. That's a Fridge/joke interpretation, not Narm.


* Upon hearing that the Soul Stone demands the sacrifice of a loved one, Gamora delivers a ReasonYouSuckSpeech at Thanos on the assumption he doesn't have any loved ones. And she goes on...and on...and ''on''. You've got to wonder if Thanos chucked Gamora over the edge just to shut her up.

Entry doesn't say what's supposedly funny, just lists a regular flaw.


* The opening of the final fight with Thanos is cool, except for the fact that [[https://comicvine1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/11124/111241908/7486556-bb6e1202-f033-49a5-b506-3c225e3ecf4b.gif Cap gets casually backhanded away by Thanos]] and then the film cuts to a totally different scene.

Cleaning up misuse. The Kang bullet is more of a Fridge Logic flaw, and the helmet thing is a very minor nitpick that isn't specifically played for drama and is also just a regular flaw.


* Kang asking Scott if he's "the one with hammer." While this is intended to make Kang seem more intimidating by implying he's killed so many Avengers he has trouble remembering them, it comes across more as Kang being a moron who asks obvious questions. Scott clearly doesn't have a hammer so Kang asking if he does can elicit unintended chuckles.
* Scott Lang flicking his helmet on right before he goes into the Probability Storm. While it’s intended to look cool, it just looks like Scott is about to sneeze, which isn’t helped by the lackluster helmet effects.

Please don't link to some random article. Also, "is jarring" is not what Narm is, or "it's weird." It has to be a bit of drama executed so poorly as to be unintentionally funny. this is just a complaint. And this scene in Moonlight was clearly supposed to be funny.


* Tony's "I don't care. He killed my mom", is jarring, because he never even mentioned his mom before this film. He doesn't even bring her up in regards to Steve. [[https://screenrant.com/batman-v-superman-avengers-iron-man-martha-worse/ Up until this point, it had always been him thinking of his father.]] The idea that he would emphasize Bucky killing his mom over his dad comes off as weird instead of dramatic.



!!''Series/{{Moon Knight|2022}}''
* The fairly dramatic chase scene as Steven attempts to flee Khonshu in the storage locker hallway ends with a highly-lit frame of Steven's face frozen in [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl what is not exactly the most dignified-looking scream]], and inexplicably even lingers on this shot for multiple seconds.

* The Russos recalled that while watching the film in a theater, they found the audience laughing at multiple moments that weren't intended to be funny (though this is less the fault of the film than it is the audience being conditioned to Whedon-style comedy beats from the Avengers films). In particular, they noted that Tony one-shotting Sam offhandedly after Rhodey's crash drew a round of laughter from the audience, despite it being a very dark scene for all intents and purposes.

After Sam apologizes, it cuts to a wide-shot of Tony almost casually blasting him away.[[/note]]

** This is worsened by the number of times the Avengers stop fighting to talk to each other. It kills the tension of what is supposed to be a serious conflict. It's even [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Falcon:
--.'''Falcon:''' I don't know if you've ''(Spider-Man)'' been a fight before, but there's usually not this much talking!



* The support group sequence comes off as disingenuous. Joe Russo's delivery is fine, but the idea that he's the first example of LGBT feels rather pathetic especially since Valkyrie is in this film. Why couldn't they have made a moment for her instead of some random person we'll likely never see again?

* America Chavez’s bloodcurdling scream as she attacks Scarlet Witch during the final battle is can elicit some unintended chuckles from the audience due to how unnatural it sounds. It almost sounds like a fake war cry she’d give at boot camp.

These scenes were all meant to be funny. Narm is supposed to be about moments that were meant to be dramatic, but come across as silly or unintentionally funny instead.


* Eitri warns Thor that taking the full force of the Neutron Star will likely kill him. Thor's response? [[CaptainObvious "Only if I die."]] Eitri can only stumble at the sheer stupidity of Thor's words.
-->'''Eitri:''' "Yes... That's what "killing you" means."

* Smart!Hulk dabbing. And telling the kids to stay in school. That is all.
** This alone wouldn't be too bad if the CGI was so terrible.
* The whole sequence with Scott choosing eat his tacos outside... and everyone keeps blowing them away. It makes you wonder why Scott chose this place of all places to eat there.
