History YMMV / FearItself

* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt: While most people are pretty sure [[spoiler: Thor]] is/will be dead (the previews for November comics even show his replacement), he's too big to stay out of the picture for long. So the ''real'' bets are on when he'll be back and how.
** Or if there'll be proof that he's not dead, just depowered or something.
* ReplacementScrappy: The guy who's supposed to replace [[spoiler: Thor]] after this event is already getting hate, because he looks like a NinetiesAntiHero, his appearance [[spoiler: and Thor's death mean that there won't be interaction between Thor and Kid!Loki for awhile]], he's not using [[spoiler: Mjolnir at all, but a weird staff with a heavy head (indicating to fans that he's not worthy to be Thor anyways, since a worthy person can lift the hammer), and for not being one of the ''many'' established people who could take over for Thor, namely Beta-Ray Bill and Thunderstrike.]] Oh, and the fact that in the books out ''right now'' the guy he's replacing isn't even dead yet.
* {{Tearjerker}}: Tony, furious with Odin, yells that if they're gods, then he'll sacrifice the only thing he can give that's worth anything... and takes a big swig of [[TheAlcoholic alcohol...]] And after so long of being clean, too.
** Fans are waiting for ''yet another'' series based on him trying to get sober again now.

* CompleteMonster: Duane Mellor in "Eater" managed to establish himself as more monstrous than a {{Wendigo}} of the same show. A Cajun SerialKiller and [[IAmAHumanitarian Eater]], Mellor was arrested for torturing, murdering and eating vast amounts of innocent people, often keeping them alive for days so he could cut pieces off and eat them. Once captured, Mellor waits until the graveyard shift before using [[HollywoodVoodoo a voodoo ritual]], devouring the souls of several officers with their hearts to take their forms and play a sadistic game of cat and mouse with the young female rookie cop on duty, solely because [[ForTheEvulz "I particularly like it when my prey is frightened."]] When his patience is exhausted, he simply goes for the kill. The only thing close to a standard Mellor showed was his disdain for being called a serial killer: He was [[InsistentTerminology An ''Eater'']], [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne big difference.]]

* CompleteMonster: The Serpent. All he wants is fear. Through death and destruction. No matter who, he must get everyone killed so he can have the power.
** Sin/Skadi may be even worse, as she's entirely willing to go through with the plan, while the rest of the Worthy are just possessed. Adding to it that she's [[DaddysLittleVillain the daughter of a guy who's possibly the greatest Nazi comics villain ever]]... yeah.
*** That being said, their father/daughter interactions (ie. between The Serpent and Skadi) are strangely touching. EvenEvilHasLovedOnes, after all.
*** Touching...or [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]]. Syn has well-known [[WellDoneSonGuy daddy issues]] and at least part of her lives on in Skadi (eg. her euphoria when she learns that [[spoiler: the CaptainAmerica she killed was Bucky, since "she gets to kill CaptainAmerica twice)]]; its not a stretch to imagine the Serpent is just purposely filling out that role for her for his own ends, and doesn't give a shit about her beyond that. Skadi being the actual daughter of the Serpent doesn't really undermine that.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler: Gravity, he got so pissed at Hardball actions in Vegas that he flies half way across the country to try to beat him up, only for their fight to accidentally set off a earthquake.]]
** Nul is shaping up this way too in the aftermath/Defenders series tie-in. Simply existing in this world causes him unbearable pain.

* CrowningMomentofAwesome: When the Avengers carry Thor's broken body to Asgard, Captain America [[spoiler: Steve Rogers variety]] up and tells Odin to get to work and use his powers to heal Thor. In the process he calls Odin out on his dickish behavior and tells him to act like a real father. Odin's so shocked at being ordered around he needs a moment to process it.
** "AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!" You know which one.
* FridgeLogic: When something causes She-Hulk, Nighthawk, Howard the Duck, and Frankenstein's Monster to turn into monstrous versions of themselves, Howard the Duck turns into... a lizard creature. Repeat Howard the DUCK turns into a LIZARD as an apparently monstrous version of THEMSELVES.
** [[FridgeBrilliance Perhaps expressing a primordial link to his dinosaur ancestors?]]

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Spider-Man randomly leaves to check on Aunt May. This is likely to set up some time for tie-in issues to take place, but it adds almost nothing to the story and various characters call out Cap for sending him off. It's not like we see Dr. Strange check up on Wong .

* NightmareFuel- The last scene of "In Sickness and in Health" is perhaps the creepiest part of the episode, especially since Maggie Lawson did such a good job.

* NightmareFuelUnleaded- The last scene of "In Sickness and in Health" is perhaps the creepiest part of the episode, especially since Maggie Lawson did such a good job.

** That being said, their father/daughter interactions are strangely touching. EvenEvilHasLovedOnes, after all.

* MissedMomentOfAwesome: Despite all the build-up for "The Mighty," they get very little screen time and are mostly overshadowed by Thor and Captain America. There isn't even a "And you [character name], you get this weapon, which I had them make just for you, and this is what it does" sequence.
