The biggest wasted potential in Game of Thrones?
That must be Gendry. Easily.
A secret Baratheon heir, raised as a commoner, skilled blacksmith, warrior, and one of the few characters who could genuinely connect the people with the nobility.
Then Game of Thrones remembered he existed, made him Lord of Storm’s End… and basically parked him there.
The man had main-character potential and ended up as a footnote.
Who do you think was wasted more? 👀
How did Strange completely miss what the Darkhold was doing to Wanda?
He already knew that book could corrupt someone badly, yet Wanda is standing right in front of him with it and he doesn’t seem to catch on until she slips up.
Was Wanda really that good at hiding it, or did Strange just overlook something he should’ve noticed?
Aunt May saved SpiderMan here, not the other way around. Distracting Doc Ock with an umbrella mid-fight takes pure courage. She’s the true hero of the scene.
Spider-Man (2002)
This Green Goblin scene still gets me. Willem Dafoe makes every word feel personal, especially when he starts talking about MJ. There’s something so unsettling about the way he gets inside Peter’s head.
And Tobey’s face says everything. Half the mask, blood on his face, but he still looks ready to keep going. You can almost feel how angry and exhausted Peter is before he gets back up and the fight starts again. That whole scene just feels raw.
