Top 10 Saddest Superhero Movies

Spoiler alert for all the tear breaking superhero movies.
The Top Ten
Logan

This movie made me really depressed, especially during the ending. So many of my favorite characters, who I was so used to watching in movies, passed away. This movie is the perfect conclusion to Hugh Jackman's Wolverine.

I still haven't seen the movie, but my mom watched it without me while I was at dance. For some reason, she thought she had to walk me through the whole thing because I wasn't there. Spoilers made me cry. Wow.

This is one of the saddest deaths I have ever seen. The entire movie was an emotional story, and it had a sad but perfect ending. It was actually enough to make me cry.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

I have not watched this movie once without the ending making me teary-eyed. And I've watched it about 40 times.

Not only did Ego kill Peter's mom, but he also betrayed Peter and smashed his Walkman. And then, "He may be your father, but he ain't your daddy." Yondu's death was very emotional.

This movie made my little brother cry (and he didn't cry during Titanic).

Big Hero 6

Each scene was emotional, especially with the death of Tadashi and Baymax temporarily leaving.

Avengers: Endgame

This should easily climb to the top! Seeing Iron Man give his life for the world, followed by his pre-recorded message before his death, was incredibly moving. Also, watching Black Widow sacrifice herself for the Soul Stone and then seeing Captain America finally get to live the life he wanted with Peggy Carter couldn't be sadder than that!

I saw the first Iron Man movie in theaters when I was six. Seeing him go in Endgame was not easy.

Seeing Black Widow go was not easy. And seeing Steve retire was not easy.

This movie is the reason why Marvel will never be the same again.

Avengers: Infinity War

Spider-Man is one of the only superheroes I actually like, and watching him plead for his life and apologize to Tony was just heartbreaking. He was a good kid.

"And if you died? I feel like that's on me." - Tony Stark from Spider-Man: Homecoming. And then when Peter faded away...

The greatest of all plot twists (also, one of the most shocking and saddest).

The Dark Knight Rises

The ending made me cry and feel happy at the same time when I heard from the engineers that the plane had autopilot.

Batman may be dead, but Bruce Wayne is still alive.

The ending to the greatest trilogy of all time!

Guardians of the Galaxy
X-Men: Days of Future Past

Just seeing mutant friends die one by one was emotional.

Captain America: Civil War

Tony fighting with Steve, who's trying to save Bucky, who killed Tony's parents, whom he didn't even get to say a proper goodbye to!

Seeing each hero fight and betray each other really gives you the feels.

The Dark Knight

The true hero of Gotham City goes into hiding so that the streets are freed of crime - all based on a lie.

The death of Rachel was pretty emotional since she was one of Bruce Wayne's only friends.

The Newcomers

? Spider Man: No Way Home
? Solomon Kane
The Contenders
Watchmen

What are you talking about?! Rorschach's death is still tragic and always will be!

I'm not trapped in here with you! You're trapped in here with me!

Why did Rorschach have to die? (Spoiler alert.)

The Incredibles

This is an example of a superhero movie story done right. The writing for this and the second Incredibles movie was perfect for every type of superhero fan.

It's a very emotional family story.

The Avengers: Age of Ultron

I was looking through the list and was about to vote for Logan, then I saw this. Quicksilver's death was super sad, and the moment he died, it made Scarlet Witch go crazy. "I didn't see that coming."

The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Why must every Spider-Man film end with an important or loved character dying?

Wonder Woman

This movie made me cry. Steve's last words to Diana were so emotional: "I just wish we had a little more time. I love you." It's even sadder knowing that she's practically immortal, so there's no chance of seeing him in the afterlife either. (I know they have the afterlife in the Arrowverse, but do they have an afterlife in this universe?)

I felt the emptiest feeling ever when they were celebrating the end of the war without Steve.

A sad and dark superhero movie, but great overall.

Hulk (2003)
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

It was very sad when Superman died while fighting Doomsday.

The Emoji Movie
Deadpool 2

I don't want to give any spoilers, but I can't listen to Take on Me the same way anymore. Kiss me like you miss me, Red.

"The Merc with the Mouth" does not look good in depression.

V for Vendetta
Captain America: The Winter Soldier

This is a dark, gritty, emotional story! It deserves the top ten!

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

"Miles...the hardest thing about this job is...you can't always save everyone." A quote like that is one of the many depressing lines in this fantastic movie.

Spider-Man 3
Batman Returns
Batman and Robin
