Superhero movies: 20 best superhero movie fight scenes of the decade
By Mark Lynch
17. Captain Marvel VS Yon-Rogg
Movie: Captain Marvel (2019)
The final fight in a movie is usually the big one. It’s a chance for hero to show everyone what they’re made of. A chance to defeat the villain and send them packing. In this case, it was Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel) against Yon-Rogg.
Yon-Rogg trained her to fight without using her powers. Whenever they trained hand-to-hand, Yon-Rogg won. Now, it was time to see if this stayed true. Yon-Rogg put his blaster away and gave Carol Danvers a speech, saying that it was time for Carol to prove herself to him that she could defeat him without, “the light show.” Carol ignored everything he said and blasted Yon-Rogg into the side of a mountain.
Why it ranks as one of the greatest fight scenes from this decade’s superhero movies
This. Was. Amazing! Sure, technically it’s not a fight scene because Captain Marvel delivered a first round knock. Nonetheless, this was very satisfying. After all the trash Yon-Rogg was talking, he was defeated in less time than it took him to deliver the speech.
Then, Carol offers her hand as if to say, “it’s OK” and then literally drags him to his ship. If for nothing else, this makes the list for comedic value alone. Captain Marvel showed an unforgiving side. Something that’s going to be needed in years to come.
