In honor of ComicCon, weve dug up 15 TV flops from the world of comic books, scifi and fantasy that missed the current nerdgenre era. From sci fi to horror to spy thrillers, the term superhero movie has become remarkably fluid. The most common sub genre of superhero films by far, is the comedy. Comedy and superhero films have always made for good bedfellows, beginning all the way back with Richard Donners first Superman. That film combined rousing spectacle with classic slapstick, and proved to be an enormous hit. In the years since then, weve seen superhero movies that land all over the place on the comedic scale, from straight up comedies that are only loosely disguised as superhero flicks, to pure actionadventure superhero films that happen to feature a hefty dose of comedy. Below, weve put together the our favorite funny superhero movies. Here are the 1. 5 Funniest Superhero Movies. Captain America Civil War. Theres no shortage of big emotional moments in Captain America Civil War. Watch Big Hero 6 Sequel Hd. By exploring the fallout between former teammates Steve Rogers and Tony Stark, Civil War plumbed emotional depths previously unexplored in the MCU, resulting in some of the darkest moments of the series thus far. What a relief then, that the movie didnt wallow in a dour mood entirely. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo wisely included many scenes of levity to balance out the potentially grim tone of the film. These scenes of levity turned out to be some of the funniest in the entire Marvel franchise so far. Probably the biggest laughs come during the fantastic airport sequence. By pitting so many of the superheroes in the MCU against each other in one battle, the Russo Brothers opened the door for a plethora of hilarious banter and witty one liners. The introduction of Tom Holland as Spider Man and the re introduction of Paul Rudd as Ant Man ensured some hilarious back and forths between some of our favorite Avengers. We didnt expect to laugh a lot in a movie about the Avengers turning on each other due to legal legislation, but we were happily surprised to find that we did. The Avengers Age of Ultron. Age of Ultron is a deeply flawed movie. But there are moments during the film, where everything is firing on all cylinders, and it becomes immensely enjoyable. Not unsurprisingly, considering Joss Whedon was at the helm again, these moments tend to involve humorous group interplay. Whedon is a champion at mining laughs from misfit group dynamics. The opening scene featuring an assault on a HYDRA compound drops us right into the center of the action, and right into the center of hilarious Avenger dialogue. The highlight of this being the running joke of Tony Stark teasing Steve Rogers for his reluctance to curse. This is an honest moment that feels true to the characters, and its very funny because of that. Another highlight comes during the party scene, where the characters all take turns trying to lift Thors hammer. The soul of these movies is the relationships between the different Avengers, and scenes like this one drives this home in a hilarious way. Of course, we cant talk about humor in Age of Ultron without mentioning Ultron himself. Some fans were surprised to see just how much a sense of humor the sentient robot had. James Spader seems to have taken great pleasure in delivering Ultrons smarmier snarks with his signature drawl. For being a psychotic automaton bent on destruction, hes got a pretty good sense of humor. Hellboy. Possibly one of the greatest superhero casting decisions of all time was made when Guillermo Del Toro chose Ron Perlman for the role of Hellboy. Its hard to imagine another actor bringing the smartass charm of the roguish demon to life as brilliantly as Perlman did. The two Hellboy movies have a lot going for them, from wonderful creature designs to inventive action set pieces, but its the humor derived from Hellboys character that really carries the films. The world of Hellboy is a dark and sometimes disturbing one. Satanic rituals, demonic cults, and interdimensional beasts arent always par for the course in superhero films. This makes Perlmans hilarious, world weary hero all the more welcome for viewers. Playing Hellboy as a gruff everyman grounds the outlandish events in a recognizable reality, and gives viewers unfamiliar with the comics something to latch onto. Heres hoping we get to see Perlman don the costume a third time, as Del Toro keeps promising. Mystery Men. While initially panned upon its release, Mystery Men has developed a sizable cult following. Yes, the movie is proudly, boldly, ridiculously dumb, but it wears its dumbness on its sleeve. It embraces its dumbness with reckless abandon. Director Kinka Usher who has not directed another film since plays the nonsense completely straight. A remarkable lineup of comedic actors play the titular Mystery Men, a group of misfit superheroes called upon to save Champion City. Featuring Ben Stiller, Hank Azaria, Geoffrey Rush, Janeane Garofolo, and William H. Macy, to name a few, this ridiculous romp attracted some of the greatest comedic talents in Hollywood. The misfit heroes have powers that range from ability to throw bowling balls to being invisible as long as no one is looking. Not to mention the hyper flatulent one. Like we said, the movie is ridiculous, but its ridiculous in all the right ways. The Specials. James Gunn likes to traffic in misfit superhero stories. Before he used his unique brand of humor to explore wrench vigilanteism or space racoons, he wrote a small budget feature film about a second tier group of superheroes on their day off. The Specials was made for just under a million dollars, making it the cheapest superhero movie on this list. Of course, James Gunn would never be interested in telling a conventional superhero story. He uses the genre to explore and poke fun at the genre as a whole. Starring Rob Lowe, Thomas Hayden Church, and Paget Brewster as some underappreciated superheroes, The Specials explores the day to day, humdrum inner workings in the life of a superhero. They deal with infidelity, they navigate the press, they throw dinner parties. The Specials treats superhumans as regular old people, albeit with outrageous abilities. The result is a very funny, cleverly subversive take on the classic genre. The Avengers. A years long experiment paid off in spades with Joss Whedons wonderful Avengers. This movie showed that not only was it possible to bridge multiple franchises and storylines together into one cohesive film, but that the final product could be a jubilant, entertaining adventure in its own right. The fact that Whedon was able to juggle all of the various facets of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and produce a cohesive story is impressive on its own. The fact that he was able to produce a movie as charming and outright funny as this one is downright miraculous. While Ultron has its moments of charming character interplay, the original Avengers is really where Whedon knocked it out of the park. He was able to tie the loose threads of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and Hulk into one rousing adventure, and he mined some huge laughs out of it. Now classic moments like the Hulk smashing Loki, or the post credits shawarma meal really cemented this as one of the funniest superhero films to ever be released. Iron Man. The first ten minutes of the first movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe set the tone for what would become a historic cinematic achievement. The introduction of Robert Downey Jr. Iron Man is funny, charming, buoyant and thrilling. These words would go on to describe the 1.
