The battle to name the single most intense scene in Marvel history is narrowed down to two top-tier contenders

Either way, your palms are going to be sweating.

There’s no denying that that’s left even the most dedicated of ers underwhelmed more often than they’d like, but outright nail-biting intensity isn’t something you get from the franchise all that often.

Kevin Feige’s outfit has cornered the market in spectacular superpowered showdowns, pithy put-downs, witty banter, and CGI-laden third act finales that swamp the screen in pixels, but it’s not often you’ll find yourself watching anything hailing from the company that’s capable of causing genuine heart palpitations and sweaty palms.

There are a handful of scenes and moments worthy of such praise, though, and a Jessica Jones‘ first season episode “AKA Top Shelf Perverts” where Kilgrave commandeers an entire precinct and threatens to have them all kill themselves so Krysten Ritter’s hero goes along with his plan to move into her childhood home, creating his idyllic and twisted family dynamic of his desires.

On the other, there’s the jaw-dropping Spider-Man: Homecoming revelation where Tom Holland’s Peter Parker finds his heart plummeting through the floor upon discovering that his date’s father is none other than Michael Keaton’s Adrian Toomes, which leads to their nail-biting exchange in the back of a car.

Of course, we’re not saying that these are the only two worthy of consideration, but it can’t be argued that each ranks among the very best of the entire Marvel Studios era when it comes to sheer unbearable dread.
