And today we're looking at scenes in superhero films that have aged poorly due to behind the scenes drama, public controversies, or offensive creative choices.

Some of these moments stand out because they were completely unexpected.

So do I have to take the rest of my clothes off or can I leave them on?

I pushed your astral form out of your physical form.

In this film about Marvel's premier sorcerer, Tilda Swinton plays the Ancient One, Stephen Strange's mentor.

In the comics, the Ancient One is portrayed as an elderly Tibetan man who makes Steven his apprentice.

As such, Swinton's casting only became more controversial as time went by.

Became a doctor to save lives, not take them.

You became a doctor to save one life above all others.

You want to go back to the delusion that you can control anything, even death, which no one can control.

It makes sense that the filmmakers would want to avoid any stereotypes.

On the other hand, by turning the character into a Celtic woman, Marvel caught backlash for whitewashing.

Some critics felt that by avoiding stereotypes, they were also erasing Asian representation.

Kevin Feige would later regret the decision, saying that they could have cast an Asian actor who fit the role without contributing to racist cliches.

I've hated drawing power from the dark dimension.

But as you well know, sometimes one must break the rules in order to serve the greater good.

Batman and Batgirl's One Night Stand the Killing Joke One of this film's many controversies was this portrayal of this relationship.

The movie features an intimate moment between Batman and Batgirl that somehow gets even more disturbing.

When you look at their previous depictions in the Animated series and mystery of Batwoman, it's clear that the protege has a crush on her mentor.

It's about you getting protective and and sitting in judgment.

It's then revealed in Batman beyond that, the two would later be a couple.

He was hurt When I chose to stay behind with Bruce as his partner, his girlfriend.

Keep in mind that Bruce was an adult when he met her.

So the idea of Batman being with the woman he's known since she was a teenager, who also dated Robin, is downright atrocious.

Some writers seem obsessed with this ship, but we sure hope we've seen the last of it.

Darwin's Death X Men First Class what do you do when you introduce a character whose power is to survive anything?

Why, you write him out of the plot, of course.

When the mutant Darwin is recruited to the CIA, he's killed off by the villain Sebastian Shaw.

Like many fans, we're still wondering how this happened, despite his power to, well, not die.

It also became noticeable that the only heroic mutant who's killed off in the entire film happens to be the only black team member.

It wasn't a good look, given how little spotlight black heroes got in the X Men franchise.

At least actor Eddie Gothe got to shine in 2025.

You don't get to go with a name like that.

Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer.

Even if you look back fondly on these films, you have to admit that these gags don't hold up.

In the first Fantastic Four, a set piece involves Sue Storm undressing herself in front of a crowd of people.

Why don't you strip down and have 100 people stare at you?

A similar scene happens in the sequel where Soos swaps powers with the Human Torch and ends up naked on the ground.

These moments feel less like comedic bits and more like excuses to have the camera leer at Jessica Alba.

The actress has said that shooting these scenes was awful and humiliating.

On top of that, she almost quit acting when director Tim Storey allegedly told her to look pretty when she cried.

Alba and the character she portrayed deserve better treatment from the filmmakers.
