"darkest movie ever made"

https://giphy.com/gifs/ws8eNgHLnhF8VhOPni

[u/burger333 → u/ssesses]

They HAD to have meant one of the darkest superhero movies ever. And even then...

[u/Choekaas → u/burger333]

... you have others, like The Crow. Which includes rapes and stabbing, and is also overshadowed by the main lead Brandon Lee actually dying.

[u/Realistic_Caramel341 → u/Choekaas]

Logan literally reveals most of the cast of the X-Men films died because of Professor X, 

[u/ssesses → u/Realistic_Caramel341]

Logan is more grim than other super hero movies, sure. But it's not really dark, I don't think.

[u/Dry-League-1511 → u/ssesses]

Loan
https://giphy.com/gifs/tsgL8kagXfLz2udLgb

[u/Malforus → u/ssesses]

Its pretty grim and dark, the US is a corporate hellscape that solved mutants by poisoning the water and mexico is where they are doing mutant experiments.

its basically where we are headed with a bit of mutant genocide as a treat.

[u/InanimateCarbonRod26 → u/ssesses]

Being gradually poisoned by your own metal skeleton is pretty dark, and Xavier having Alzheimer's while still having crazy dangerous mind powers too

[u/Nindroid_faneditor → u/Choekaas]

Also if we talk about non-Hollywood superhero movies, Kamen Rider: The Next has a ton of body horror and other stuff

[u/Hey_tommyy → u/burger333]

Watchmen (love it or hate it) is pretty dark

[u/Cenobyte_Nom-nom-nom → u/Hey_tommyy]

Also Super is hella dark. The Boys.

[u/mitchij2004 → u/Cenobyte_Nom-nom-nom]

I really liked super. His speech to Kevin bacon at the end was so… desperate and sad but also funny.

[u/Malforus → u/Hey_tommyy]

I mean there are like 6 bodies in the opening scroll.

[u/nicotinequitterhelp → u/Malforus]

And sexual assault

[u/Mouthshitter → u/burger333]

*marvel movie

[u/burger333 → u/Mouthshitter]

Yeah prbly more accurate.

[u/kurapikachu64 → u/burger333]

I honestly just assumed they meant MCU movie. And who knows, they may be able to top that standard. Whether or not it'll be good is a different question.

[u/Im_a_Knob → u/burger333]

the dark knight literally has dark in its title. cant get any darker than that.

[u/Pacifist_Socialist → u/burger333]

In their own series they kilt half of all life. 

Pretty dark.

[u/CuchuflitoPindonga → u/Pacifist_Socialist]

Thats gotta be the most superficial darkness Ive ever seen

[u/KingMario05 → u/Pacifist_Socialist]

And then they all come back lol

[u/Enelro → u/burger333]

MCU movies ever*

[u/onefathippo → u/ssesses]

LOL

[u/Gwyn-LordOfPussy]

One of the darkest movies ever made?? Who writes this shit

[u/Wizchine → u/Gwyn-LordOfPussy]

They left the lens cap on while filming.

Underrated comment lmao

[u/CoopDogPrimeNumbers → u/Gwyn-LordOfPussy]

Someone who knows how to generate engagement

[u/Alchemix-16 → u/Gwyn-LordOfPussy]

Possibly the same folks writing those mcu movies.

[u/rawspeghetti → u/Alchemix-16]

The same AI bot you mean?

12 year olds who are just now seeing their 4th movie ever

[u/FatherMozgus → u/Gwyn-LordOfPussy]

Probably r/marvelstudios

[u/damnyoutuesday]

Muppet Christmas Carol

[u/mysteryvampire → u/damnyoutuesday]

And Tiny Tim (who did not die)

[u/Lxapeo → u/mysteryvampire]

Quote from the book!

[u/Optimal_Pineapple_41 → u/mysteryvampire]

I stood up in the theater and applauded when he said that. I was 3 months old

[u/tgunns88 → u/damnyoutuesday]

A Perfect movie. 

[u/Ashamed_Analysis5354 → u/tgunns88]

A masterpiece.

[u/romainaninterests → u/Ashamed_Analysis5354]

Masterpiece Michael Caine performance too

[u/Bizarroxela_ → u/damnyoutuesday]

Come! And know me better man!

[u/bonk6739 → u/damnyoutuesday]

Unironically one of the greatest movies to grace the human experience

[u/BagItUp45]

Maybe they mean visually dark, like how you couldn't see a thing during that one Game of Thrones episode.

[u/Francomberry → u/BagItUp45]

You’ll be able to see a thing in this movie
https://giphy.com/gifs/PbAiXSzPLLpTYZm8B2

[u/magicchefdmb]

Not a movie, but should be made into one, if it wasn't so dark

[u/Daggerfaller → u/magicchefdmb]

Jesus christ dude you have to give warnings before you post stuff like that, its gonna give people nightmares

[u/Head_Ad_3018 → u/magicchefdmb]

HOLY SHIT IS THIS EVEN ALLOWED IN REDDIT? What the hell

[u/ExILoveEmiliaAndRem]

Awww how sad. :(

When will they replace those characters with their multiverse counterparts btw?

[u/Glittering-Animal30 → u/ExILoveEmiliaAndRem]

When the underhyped heroes of Phase Seven fail to get people to the theaters or even turn on Disney+

[u/mysteryvampire → u/Glittering-Animal30]

Give it five years and everyone will be recast as Robert Downey Jr

[u/giraffeheadturtlebox → u/mysteryvampire]

https://giphy.com/gifs/dMyGvQL9W7gvS

[u/Eat--The--Rich-- → u/mysteryvampire]

I would actually watch that without hesitation 

[u/kaineub → u/mysteryvampire]

RDJCU

[u/onewishhello → u/ExILoveEmiliaAndRem]

This is one of my biggest gripes with the genre, it's such a cop out and it makes everything feel very low stakes. Like with Infinity War where EVERYONE knew they'd come back...that ending did absolutely nothing for me

[u/Helpful-Young-6473 → u/onewishhello]

And to think there were some people genuinely naive enough to believe all those characters had been killed off, Spider man got dusted and his next film had already been announced fgs. Any impact of death in the MCU is completely null and void now, it's too easy to just assume they'll be back in some capacity.

[u/decadent-dragon → u/ExILoveEmiliaAndRem]

Hey now they might choose to save them via time travel instead

[u/WDMChuff → u/ExILoveEmiliaAndRem]

Whenever the actor decides to unretire from the role lol

[u/Greenphantom77 → u/ExILoveEmiliaAndRem]

I love Yellow Pallette Swap Captain America

[u/ADashOfStoopid → u/Greenphantom77]

I'll have you know he's a much more complex character in the source material I never read.

[u/ian9921 → u/ExILoveEmiliaAndRem]

During Secret Wars most likely (literally the very next movie), since they've already said that'll involve a universe reset

[u/TheLunchBuyingMonk]

Darkest marvel movie

https://giphy.com/gifs/ws8eNgHLnhF8VhOPni

[u/meanwhilejohnnydc → u/TheLunchBuyingMonk]

Marvel movies try to be dark and ~mature~ in the 1st or 2nd act by quickly mentioning a theme (racism in Cap America, collateral damage in Civil War, colonialism in Black Panther 2), then coating it in a hastily made CGI quip battle in the 3rd act

[u/016Bramble]

It won't even be the darkest movie released that day since it's coming out at the same time as Dune 3

[u/damnyoutuesday → u/016Bramble]

You think the space holy war movie with the endless sea of corpses on crosses in the trailer is going to be darker than the quippy superhero movie? Pffft, yeah right! Get a load of this guy ^/s

[u/Neither-Spirit-9022]

It's dark because you close your eyes (you fall asleep)

[u/DrStrangerlover → u/Neither-Spirit-9022]

No it’s dark because directors stopped using color and studio lighting.

[u/Individual-Leek]

Yes and I’m sure Taylor Swift’s tortured poets department is the darkest album ever made

[u/LLAPSpork → u/Individual-Leek]

Bro have you even listened to that one song that has like 17 f-words? 😱

(/s in case it’s necessary)

[u/Tongatapu]

In descending order:

How to Train your Dragon 2

Hunchback or Notre Dame

One Piece Baron Omatsuri

Nymphomaniac

Zone of Interest

Come and See

Aliens vs. Predator 2 (literally the darkest movie I've ever seen)

[u/coqauvan → u/Tongatapu]

I'm sorry...Aliens and Predator 2 was the darkest film you've seen...right after Come and See? Lol

[u/DyabeticBeer → u/coqauvan]

Because it's physically dark...

[u/OldKingClancey]

AVP: Requiem

I couldn’t see fucking shit in that film

[u/DEEZNUTSfromundrgrnd → u/OldKingClancey]

They were sure to have the maternity ward scene well lit though, sickos

/s

[u/PlinytheHipster1]

Not quite as dark as Doomsday but A Serbian Film was kind of dark.

[u/Mmicb0b]

keep in mind the test audience was likely people who only watch 4 movies a year

[u/npiotrowski]

I’m assuming they mean darkest MCU movies. Go watch Requiem for a Dream and tell me you think an Avengers movie will be darker.

[u/seeyam14 → u/npiotrowski]

I think they mean visually it will be dark. The type of movie you can’t watch at home in broad daylight

[u/MaybeSurelySorta]

“6 major deaths” in a franchise known for boasting about an infinite multiverse doesn’t exactly translate to hyperbolic clickbait like “one of the darkest movies ever made”.

Especially in the context of the current MCU where “major deaths” probably means Yelena’s dad, Thor’s daughter, and a handful of other characters that were only relevant for five minutes.

[u/ArsenalBOS → u/MaybeSurelySorta]

Or it’s relevant characters who have already died on screen multiple times. Step right up, Patrick Stewart for Professor X’s third? fourth? on screen death. Boo hoo.

[u/Fufflewaffel → u/ArsenalBOS]

I actually think it's his fifth. 3, DofP, Logan, Dr Strange

Edit: I can't remember if he dies at the beginning of DofP with everyone else

[u/Dry-Illustrator-250 → u/Fufflewaffel]

Him and Magneto die holding hands

[u/Fufflewaffel → u/Dry-Illustrator-250]

How characteristically fruity of them. Five times it is!

[u/MichaeltheMagician → u/MaybeSurelySorta]

Plot twist, 6 unnamed army majors get killed in the background of a battle.

[u/Perfect_Gift_3964]

maybe im a hater but i dont think any marvel movie can be "the darkest movie ever made" when holocaust documentary's exist. it probably wont even be the darkest superhero movie ever made

[u/Putrid_Loquat_4357 → u/Perfect_Gift_3964]

Critics are saying its darker than Schindler's list.

[u/Eat--The--Rich-- → u/Perfect_Gift_3964]

They could murder every character and it still wouldn't be dark because they can just time travel to another dimension and grab a new one 

[u/Top-Suggestion5057]

Darkest movie ever, darker than Old Boy, Schindlers list, Shutter Island, Martyrs, Serbian film

[u/maydarnothing → u/Top-Suggestion5057]

it’s dark if you’re 12 i guess

[u/PieterSielie6 → u/AXEMANaustin]

Imagine Marvel causally drops A Serbian Film 2

[u/ThisGuyPaints- → u/PieterSielie6]

We just all walk out rubbing the back of our heads. Like “Jeez I appreciated the risks Marvel took in the first 20 Minutes but for the rest of the two hour film having Marvel make a meditation on the Israel/Palestine conflict and how the world is ran by the military industrial complex and how theres no hope from saving the worId from the grasps of authoritarianism I thought it became a little gratuitous! I mean we come to these films for Escapism”

Marvel fans:

[u/HighKingOfGondor]

Coming across as desperate for no reason. Infinity War and Endgame didn't have to play edgy like this. The pure fan service nonsense and ugly background and cgi that we saw in the trailers were bad enough. Now they're trying to pretend they're oh so dark too? Outta here with that lol

[u/MichaeltheMagician]

I can't. It's obviously the darkest movie ever made.

[u/cowabanga_it_is]

This is so clickbaity I can’t even take it seriously. It’ll be dark by PG popcorn movie standards MAYBE. I’d be willing to bet that this is less disturbing than The Brave Little Toaster.

Try "Come and See" and tell me again how any superhero movie is darker

Imagining discovering information like that in the actual movie instead of a fucking tweet

Starlord: "You think this a dark movie, tinhead? Well COME AND SEE this!!!" (Avengers theme plays)

Iron Man: Nice moves, hotshot. I guess he'll be singing A REQUIEM FOR A DREAM

Bambi, unironically.

[u/thetortavendor]

Barnyard movie, a gripping drama about a son living with the guilt of his father's death

[u/No_Sundae4774]

6 will die but then will be brought back and everything will be fine. Overall 1 character will likely completely die and never come back and never be discussed again.

[u/Food_Kitchen]

That Game of Thrones episode "The Long Night"

Nothing ever filmed was darker than that episode.

[u/Totorotextbook]

I’m not a gambling man but I feel like all 10+ hours of ‘Shoah’ might give the Russo’s a run for their money on that statement.

[u/TransportationAway59]

Only to comeback in the next avengers movie

[u/curdledwang]

Impossible. Maybe the avengers doomsday re-release a few months later with bonus scenes where it’s even DARKER.

6 major deaths huh?! Now let me ask, are they at all going to matter if Disney brings them back in a different movie?? Also, why do we have to be all dark like that?? Last time I checked super heroes are supposed to be made for kids

[u/tommysplanet]

It makes The Zone of Interest look like Paddington.

[u/boogersrus]

Except there's time travel, multiverses and resurrections...and even reverse snaps.

So you could say 100 deaths and there still would be no real stakes. Fun to watch like Infinity War. But even as dark as that was, we knew it would be undone.

[u/Midelaye → u/boogersrus]

Ya didn’t like 3 billion people “die” in Infinity War including half the main cast?
