Worst fight scene: Ending to Venom (Venom)
It’s one thing for a scene to use too much CGI, and it’s even worse when it’s overly done and dark. The final fight scene is supposed to be either the most epic or most memorable. Well, it succeeded on being infamous rather than famous. The scene took place at night with two symbiotes who were both black except for in a couple of spots. The only moment that was clear was the part where it was in slow motion and the ending with the rocket ship. It was just poorly done. Who knows, maybe the fight scene could have been good if we could have actually seen it.
Honorable mention: Deadpool and cable versus hospital goons (Deadpool 2)

WTF Moment: Star-Lord ruins everything (Avengers: Infinity War)
Star-Lord came up with the plan. He even made a big deal about being the one to create the plan. And, guess what? Peter Quill’s plan was working. Kudos to him for coming up with a way to defeat a being with the power to destroy moons. Of course, then he had to go and ruin it. Quill found out that Thanos killed Gamora, and he got irrational. If Quill waited another 15 seconds, Spider-Man and Iron Man would have gotten the gauntlet off, and he could have beaten ten shades of purple off the Mad Titan. Instead, Quill took their best chance at beating Thanos and ruined it.
Honorable mention: The death of X-Force (Deadpool2)
