What's the worst clickbait Marvel headline you've ever seen?

With Marvel slowing down their output, all those news aggregate (and likely AI-written) websites and YouTube channels have gotten pretty desperate for traffic. What's the worst clickbait title you've ever seen?

The worst I've ever seen was "'Venom: The Last Dance' Will Be Connected to Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man" and it's just that Eddie Brock is wearing the same clothes as he did No Way Home, a movie that included Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man as well. Just awful.

Another I just saw was "Spider-Man Brand New Day: Connection to Black Panther 2 Finally Revealed" and it's just that Ned and MJ got into MIT, where RiRi Williams also goes. Embarrassing.

Any time they quote-mine an actor to make it sound like they said something disparaging, only for the full quote to reveal they actually said the exact opposite.

Markus28222025-12-04 18:42

Somewhat similar, not a quote but still a headline going around rn that’s pissing me off is Scarlet Johansson “leaving Marvel for DC” like dude she’s been done for years and can work with other companies.

It’s just trying to create drama where there isn’t any

Marvel's own clickbait of announcing Robert Downey Jr as Doctor Doom

Son_Tenaj2025-12-03 16:49

I get what you’re saying but that is not clickbait.

That’s actually is what is gonna happen,RDJ is gonna play Doctor doom.

Clickbait is something that is referred to that actually never happens or misguides the viewer.

patch_e_behr2025-12-03 18:18

It's a sensational news story to generate interest, and it literally baited people to click on their social media sites. I stand by what is said.

dbkenny4262025-12-03 16:45

The Direct used to be a somewhat decent site, but they fell hard into clickbait a few years ago. I stopped going there altogether when I noticed they had something like five articles all based on one answer to a question that was maybe a couple sentences long. They absolutely suck!

forevertrueblue2025-12-03 17:41

Used to write for them but dont anymore and this kind of contributed to that.

Quick-Bad2025-12-03 16:48

You Won't Believe

DragonzordR2025-12-03 16:56

Thomas Dipshit Facebook User: I mean, it said I wouldn't believe it.

taylorhildebrand2025-12-03 16:49

“Was marvel ever successful?!?”
WTF

Luso_Wolf2025-12-03 16:51

Absolutely any news headline that refers to the return of the Scarlet Witch

frankdatank_0042025-12-03 17:03

😔

Luso_Wolf2025-12-03 17:28

I honestly believe Wanda will inevitably return. But it will be announced in a big Disney reveal similar to RDJ as Doom. Not on some small website that I’m obviously unable to click on

_PrincessOats2025-12-03 17:51

I expect it won’t be announced at all, she’ll just appear.

chimichanga_32025-12-08 11:07

Yeah, I don't see them doing an announcement.

No_Imagination_24902025-12-03 19:02

It's like any time Elizabeth Olsen says anything at all about Marvel in an interview it's either 'SCARLET WITCH RETURN CONFIRMED!' or 'STAR RULES OUT SCARLET WITCH RETURN!'

mrbaryonyx2025-12-04 18:26

I would have said "any headline that refers to Mephisto" before this year

Luso_Wolf2025-12-04 18:47

Very true. Now I keep forgetting they introduced him 😂

mrbaryonyx2025-12-04 18:50

I mean I almost said it in this thread lol

BackgroundEngineer112025-12-03 16:53

Anytime a voice actor plays a character in an animated feature, the clickbait title announces the live action actor has been replaced.

Also annoying is when it's a story about something happening in the comics, the image used for the story is something from the movies.

Super66982025-12-03 16:55

All of the Sadie Sink as Mayday Parker for Spider-Man: Brand New Day stuff.

LnStrngr2025-12-03 16:56

Is this AI trying to train itself to make less bad clickbait headlines? /s

whitepangolin2025-12-03 19:20

I wish they’d do that! Sadly human

IamlostlikeZoroIs2025-12-03 17:04

Blah blah blah M-She-U, gone Woke!!!

Then shows a picture of the shot of all the women in avengers or she hulk twerking.

TylerHyena2025-12-03 17:22

“MARVEL IS DEAD NOW! MCU GONE WOKE!”

AlwaysBitter1822025-12-03 17:23

They’re making a Blade movie

CommunityDragon1842025-12-03 17:26

The RDJ - Ryan Reynolds fight nonsense

Including new rockstars doing THREE videos about the topic.

popkulture182025-12-03 17:50

Y'all remember wegothiscovered?

jaredletosuckass92025-12-03 18:19

Anything in wegotthiscovered

The_Erlenmeyer_Flask2025-12-03 18:30

Not the worst headline but the worst at thinking they can get ahead of everyone else. Alot of the Marvel scoop Twitter accounts.

There was one a while back that reported that Marvel was going to use Spider-Man as the way to introduce Deadpool into the MCU and that Marvel was going to cast a Asian actress for Clea.

After No Way Home, the account shut down.

Fawqueue2025-12-03 19:03

Anything referencing Kamala Khan as popular.

legomaximumfigure2025-12-03 19:06

Famous person quoted as hating Marvel/DC/Superhero movies.

hell20_2025-12-03 19:06

Everything made by ScreenRant is ragebait. Regular stuff with an overhyped and sensationalised headline that indicates something different.

DigitalRoman4862025-12-04 01:03

They all have a trick of having the headline like "Marvel is planning to kill Spider-man" and showing a picture from one of the movies when in reality it is about Marvel, NOT Marvel Studios and the whole thing is about a small comic run.

chimichanga_32025-12-08 11:09

I've fallen for that way too many times

spidervenom6192025-12-04 01:23

Anything from Cosmic Book News.

marvelcomics222025-12-04 12:27

Anything by The Direct.
