Deadpool didn't "decide" to leave the ammo bag in the cab. He forgot it, not really a "decision"

Revealing your Secret Identity has always been one of the Dumbest Decisions ever, especially to random people, because you make them into a Target.

The fact that Not Killing the Joker is not No.1 is just crazy

Avengers Infinity War - Starlord slapping Thanos instead of getting the Infinity gauntlet off. 🤦🏿

Trusting Loki is never a good idea... He is the God Of Mischief after all

What I'd put for honorable mention: Justice League Doom- Justice League not agreeing with Batman on his reason for contingency plans Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness- Mister Fantastic telling Scarlet Witch about Black Bolt Spider-Man No Way Home- Peter not thinking through about memory wiping everyone Spider-Man Far From Home- Giving E.D.I.T.H. to Mysterio whom he known for a few days

"Dah-pinder", "O-ay", "Zay-tana"...Jesus, can we please get someone who has actually seen some superhero media to read the copy?

What IF - Dr Strange trying to save his wife over & over despite knowing her death was meant to happen no matter what he did, ultimately wasting his life, turning him evil, & left him in a world of nothingness. 🤦🏿‍♂️

As MCU fans, we were very disappointed in MCU Peter Quill during ‘Infinity War.’ SMH

Spiderman giving Edith to Mysterio

The crazy thing about the Deadpool one is that the studio didn't believe in the movie so the budget wasn't nearly what it could have been. To reduce the cost, they dropped the expensive shoot out and turned it into what we see now. Still crushed it!

Star-Lord attacking Thanos should've been number 1 because the proceeding events happened because of him.

Disagree about not killing Joker. Because then you've basically created a Punisher Batman...the most terrifying thing I can think of existing in the DC universe.

I know the police and Damage Control aren’t superheroes, but their dumbest decision is not arresting Jameson in Spider-Man: No Way Home for cyberstalking.

I already forgave Star-Lord after Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3.

Loki pretending to serve Thanos only to kill him. However, Thanos outsmarts Loki.

Like Peacemaker said, how many people do you think we killed (or harmed) because Batman wouldn't kill The Joker (or any other criminal that deserved to be killed instead of arrested)

Barry Allen proved that changing the past can lead to disastrous outcomes for the future.

What about Top 20 Smartest Decisions made by Superheroes

Deadpool choose killing bad guys

The elderly Bruce Wayne/Batman (played by Michael Keaton) sacrificed his life for nothing. The worst scene of ‘The Flash.’

Back in 2000s, Spider-Man revealed his secret identity to the world was a BIG MISTAKE. I know it’s just comcs, but come on…

Batman said the reason he never kills is that even if he wanted to kill joker, once he did it he could never become a non murderous vigilante, the hole would get too deep to crawl out of.

Quill letting his anger get the better of him and attacking Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War was the dumbest thing ever. 🎉

They left the amo bag in cab because they did not have the budget for the big gun fight, so this was a way to explain whey this did not happen.

Avenger's End Game.....Banner Fusion with Hulk and creating Professor Hulk😐😑

Goku not being on here atleast 3 times don’t sit right with me 😂

It’s not Batman’s responsiblity to kill Joker. Anyone can do it. A guard. A thug. A sniper when he’s leading a parade. Anyone

I’m shocked Peter trusting the villains in no way home didn’t make it

Ezra Miller's Flash creating Flashpoint is even dumber because, he literally says he knows the dangers of staying in that altered timeline and that he needs to leave it immediately... then doesn’t. He just keeps saying he has to leave, then goes right back to saying it again. That's like putting your hand in a fire, saying "ow. That hurts. I don't like this. I should pull my hand out"... and then just watching your hand burning in the flames. From both a character and plot perspective... this was just monumentally stupid

The real question is, why does Gotham allow for The Joker to be sent to Arkham every time he is caught? The argument of him being "Clinically Insane" should be out of the question, especially when there's tons and tons of evidence of him planning to do things, and doing said things, so he can kill hundreds and hundreds of people. Gotham is stupid to think that "An Agent of Chaos" or someone with the nickname "Clown Prince of Crime" can be rehabilitated.

If you want a story where Batman kills the Joker, look no further than Tim Burton’s Batman.

There are times when you wonder how they even are heroes in the first place

Can you guys one day do the top 20 dumbest decisions that villains have done

The dumbest decision in The Flash was what those idiots did with Sasha Calle's Supergirl. Like killing her off over and over. And not bringing her back for the new DCU movies.

Peter letting the thief escape

I don't think Batman sparing the Joker was a bad idea, nor does he do it out of adherence to a "code". It's the consequences of what happens if he fails to adhere to the code, not the code itself. If Batman starts to murder criminals, he in fact becomes a criminal. Gotham PD can turn a blind eye to Batman capturing criminals, but when bodies start to pile up, it becomes more serious. Jim Gordan and company will start to hunt the Batman to bring him in for trial, which at the very least would reveal his identity. Bruce Wayne in jail means every criminal that the Batman can't capture because he started down this dark path is partially his fault.

I gotta side with Rorschach though although he was never gonna lie to the world it’s better that the people know that Ozzie set the world up and it was all his fault.

Star lord attacking Thanos literally ruined everything, if not for him, he wouldn’t be blammed

I hate star lord from guardians of the galaxy. He’s the reason thanos won in infinity war. Screw him

No 3️⃣ Even the "What If...?" confirmed how dumb Tony's decision was even furthermore with the episodes "What If...Ultron Won?" and "What If...The Watcher Broke His Oath?" when the Guardians of the Multiverse defeated Infinity Ultron there

Why do they bring beloved characters back just to kill them off these days? It's so upsetting and unnecessary.

Busting Edward Bailey Out Of The Mental Hospital RED 2 (2013) If only Frank, Marvin, Victoria, and Mary Louise Parker thought before they let him out It wasn't until Victoria found out the truth and he revealed his Heelish nature plus he shot and killed Catherine Zeta Jones that's not cool buddy

The thing is with Batmans first death he couldn't eject as the door was jammed and he was going to crash anyway. He didn't know it was Shielded

Nebula not going back to the present as soon as she realized 2014 Thanos was coming after her - & I mean before he actually captured her.

Was that hulk in blackface? Lol

Still upsetting that Star-lord attacking Thanos WHILE Tony and Peter are both trying to get the stones off of him!!!!!

Avengers Infinity War - Thor not going for the Head. 🤦🏿‍♂️

Sending hulk away was not stupid. What was stupid was putting a bomb on the plane that killed his family

Batman doesn't want to kill Joker or anyone else which is understandable but the fact that Batman saves Joker from justifying killed by someone else is the problem. When someone has a chance to kill Joker, Batman stops them by guilt tripping or arresting them. Batman also has a knack for giving his criminals a second chance despite what they done. Like how in Injustice Batman gave Harley Quinn a second chance and gave her a spot on the team despite the fact that she played a role in destroying Metropolis.

Honorable mention: Working with someone whose last name is DOOM- any fantastic 4 movie.

Multiverse of Madness - "Smartest man on earth" telling Wanda what Black Bolt's weakness is. Not too smart for the smartest man I'd say

They start the video with deadpool being deadpool and accidentally forgetting his weapons behind. Not much of a decision process there

“You can’t get away with messing with Batman”. Sounds like your writer is a little biased with his glorification of Batman and all his overdone almost teenage-like angst.

3:52 “ O-ay” 6:44 “Zay-tana”?🤨😂

Keaton's Batman only wanted to go to Valhalla, his sacrifice makes sense once you remember he was still in fighting shape, at that age, retired and Gotham turned a safe city

In The Dark Knight, while Batman has his no-kill rule, he still should've killed The Joker. He may have thought that Joker getting arrested was the solution, but as The Joker has proved; including in the movie; he can very much find his way to escape and continue with more crime In a movie that I otherwise love so much, not killing The Joker was a very stupid decision

I feel like pulling up on Thanos in the Civil War 2 comics should’ve made the list. If I remember correctly, war machine died.

17:12 it’s the Terminator all over again

awesome job about Dumbest Decisions by Superheroes from Top 10

I think you pretty much covered all of the stupid decisions in this video. When Star-Lord attacked Thanos after he learned about Gamora’s death RIGHT after they SUCCESSFULLY EXECUTED his plan to get the Infinity Gauntlet, it all went to crap after that point.

I am really sick of the Joker's living being blamed on Batman. Instead of blaming Batman for not killing Joker himself (which is what Joker wants), either blame Gotham for not doing it, or blame Batman for not LETTING him die. Let almost ANYONE else kill Joker, just stop blaming Batman for not pulling the trigger.

Definitely Starlord pistol whipping Thanos seconds before they could get the stones away. Sorry you lost your green chick bud, but damn, you knew the absolute result.

7:41 his decision cost them their lives

I think Creating Flashpoint was the dumbest decision made by superheroes.

I have that Hulk baseball comic 🤣 fyi that bad guy was the Rhino

There's also when Mr. Fantastic Infect His Own team with the Zombie Virus.

Whose voice is this? I think I like it

you must have missed the sound of the snap in the killing Joke where it's only Batman you can hear laughing...

Batman Micheal Keaton knew what movie he was in. 😂😂😂that's why

#8 imma give him a pass on that one

Here’s one: Involing VILLAINS in the Civil War between Cap and Iron Man

I knew the flash movie sucked, but I was not expected that bad

As Darth Helmet tells us- “ evil will always triumph because good is dumb”

Challenge of the Superfriends- Superman/Superboy. Origin of Lex Luthor. Superboy and Lex were friends in Smallville. Lex was working on curing Superboy of his Kryptonite weakness. Chemical spill in his lab starts a fire. Superboy is flying nearby, and sees the smoke. He flies down and blows out the fire. Unfortunately with Lex in there the chemicals in the lab splash over him. Lex angrily confronts Superman. Telling him the chemicals caused him to go bald. And he tells Superman that he did on purpose because he was jealous of Luthor. So now they are bitter enemies. Superman created his greatest foe. He should’ve checked to see if anyone was inside before trying to blow out the fire.

Now let’s do the opposite; Top 20 SMARTEST decisions by Superheroes!

If you're talking about comic books as well as movies and shows, then I think the Young Heroes from marvel started a reality TV show where they track down and arrest super villains on TV. This has been various, but the most prolific one was in the beginning of marvel civil war. In order to put on a show the Young Heroes that I believe were the new warriors ransacked a safe house for villains. This led to an explosion which actually triggered the events that pushed the superhuman registration act. Another one that completely backfired was Batman's contingency plans. In comic books and in the animated movie Justice League Doom, Batman created contingency plans with villains were able to get a hold of. These plans were initially to stop heroes from turning bad. Either though haven't contingency plans against this subject is a good one but he should have actually had a more secure system in place where the villains was not able to get that information. Working with villains without them trying to redeem themselves. This one is actually part of magneto working with the X-Men in the second X-Men movie. But it's more various. They have been numerous incense is of different villains working with the heroes without trying to redeem themselves. Besides magneto, the Justice League actually trust is like smooth in the Justice League animated series to stop the justice lords. This led to the creation of katniss and likely that tries to become president just to make Superman angry. Also trust in Dr Doom with trying to stop the silver surfer which he betrays them. In fact he doesn't multiple times through the marvel universe. Trusting the government. Newest times the heroes tried to trust the government but those in power always find a way to do something shady. This was also made into newest medium. One example is Batman The dark Knight returns. In this storyline is it the government used to Superman as it turned and which leads to almost making World war III. In the DC universe also is likely becomes president and the superheroes had to work under the US government. This leads to a eagle statistical man controlling the heroes when the planet is facing a doomsday level event. Also in another fact is that in the mall of the universe the government officials betrays and teams up with bashing to create the prime sentinels through the organization known as operation zero tolerance. Power rangers the 2017 movie. In the movie the biggest mistake that the rangers made was out of them going up against Rita without mastering the ability to move. This leads to read a caption them interrogating them to find with Zeo crystal is located which leads to one of the rangers dying. It's only through zordon that he resurrects the ranger and then they were able to morph to defeat her. Even though having the crystal hide underneath a donut shop was pretty lame too. Forcing villains 2 become good. Anytime when a hero tries to brainwash a villain or wiping the memory out always leads to the hero into trouble. One example is safe tooth. And the comic books professor Xavier brainwashes sabertooth to become mild and peace loving but only lasts a short time before he betrays them.

13:22 Yeah, this had to have been Tony's *DUMBEST* move in all of Marvel Comics. Since Spiderman had a NUMBER of enemies over the years and he thought: "Let's reveal Parker's identity to everyone as proof of the legislation act, there's no way this could wrong!" ...it went *VERY* wrong.

Captain America obsessing over Bucky instead of being the so-called hero and soldier he's meant to be

Other than revealing your secret identity to the whole world, killing The Joker is the most universally dumbest decision ever, he’s racked up a high body count that Batman shouldn’t stop Jason Todd/Red Hood or anyone else from ending the Clown Prince Of crime, let him just be gone so that the rest of the villains will then be taken care of after.

Deadpool didn't decide to leave the ammo bag in the cab, though. That was an accident.

3:07 he finally got nuts Also, you can’t blame him. He was one of the few things that made this movie worth watching

0:33 in fairness legally they couldn’t have more weapons in place since they only had a short budget. Fox didn’t believe that this movie will succeed. So they decided to give them a small budget of 75 or maybe $80 million. They blew half of it on the whole highway with a gun

In Supes defense in BVS, he did try tell Bruce they were getting played. Just no hard enough though.

The Flash 2023 is no Flashpoint, just a bad parody of the comic event

I’m just gonna say it, THERE IS NO REASON FOR ROSs TO KEEP GOING AFTER HULK BESIDES TO TURN HIM INTOA WEAPON!!! BRUCE SAVED A DUMB KID THAT IGNORED GATED GOVERNMENT PROPERTY, AND THE HULK CONSTANTLY SAYS HE WANTS TO BE LEFT ALONE!!! One more thing, there was no reason for Peter to arrive his marriage to save May! This may (pun unintentionally intended) sound taboo, but it just proves that Peter has an unhealthy attachment to his aunt and really needs to get counseling over his Uncles death.

Why are iron man and Batman making so much of these dumb decisions, thank god I prefer the x men as well as magneto

Good list

Stupid as it may have been, Rorschach’s refusal to compromise made perfect sense for his character. With how black-and-white his sense of morality had been shown to be, there’s no way he would’ve considered Ozymandias’s plan/actions anything short of evil and acted to thwart them no matter the cost.

I’ve seen Deadpool, The Flash, Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, Avengers: Infinity War, X2: X-Men United, Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Fantastic Four and Avengers: Age Of Ultron.

Banishing Hulk; Namor called it right that Hulk would return for revenge.

So I guess, they didn’t see that Ultimate edition of BvS. It explained why Supes didn’t trust Batman when he first met him.

Didn’t the head of an ID security firm post his SS#….and it ended badly..haha

Firstly the MCU Ultron was technically Scarlet Witch's fault cause of her using her power on Tony during the opening scene which lead him to work with Bruce Banner in making Ultron as a measure for Thanos' foreshadowing threat in addition to logically other dangers to arise which they did. As for Batman not killing the Joker the code is what prevents him from becoming judge, jury, and executioner due to how easily his trauma can deeply affect him, however despite this who is to say he has to kill him when the Gotham Courts could have done it or some cops or thugs from a rival gang. Anyone could have killed the Joker when he was in a cell in numerous ways but it's being set to be only a Batman choice or by the Joker's own hands to do it as actual depictions of Joker's deaths have portrayed. And yes the DCU death counts cause he twisted Tim Drake and used Cadmus tech on him to do it which turned against him so he died from his plan falling apart because of his own hubris of control over the boy.

I wouldn’t say that Star-Lord slapping Thanos is a “stupid decision”. I mean, yeah, they could’ve saved the universe if he kept his cool, but imagine: You’re face to face with the person who killed your loved one, and there’s nothing they can do. What do you do?

Bringing Wolverine to fight Magneto on Asteroid M..........pretty self explanatory lmao.

MCU Spider-Man is not really good at keeping his identity a secret. He screwed up by either: 1. Not knowing Ned or Aunt May were home. 2. Revealing his real name to Dr. Strange and Carol Danvers. 3. Unmasking himself on numerous occasions. 4. Revealing his identity to Mysterio (a stranger he just met) who will end up exposing his real name to the world ruining his life.

Silly to include the Deadpool one. From the rest of this list, I'm expecting plot logic anomalies and examples of dubious judgment from characters. Forgetting the duffel bag is an oversight, not a decision. Clearly it's also deliberate situational humor and not a case where audiences would hold screenwriters responsible as if for a mistake.
