Zoom and Enhance: 8 Movie Scenes That Need To Be Paused

Watching movies in theaters is fun, but sometimes you just want to relax and put something on at home. Not only will you save on popcorn and snacks, but you’ll also have full control over the movie: skip the boring stuff, rewind the action scenes, and of course, pause at the very important moments. They can be cameos, bloopers, easter eggs, or even naughty scenes, but they all deserve your attention.

Let’s see some of the most pausable scenes in recent movie history!

1. Thor: The Dark World

We’re starting off with the king of easter eggs — Marvel. Every MCU movie has at least a couple of references and visual easter eggs for the fans. In Thor: The Dark World, we can briefly see Dr. Selvig’s blackboard scribbled with all sorts of formulas, equations, and doodles. If you look closer, you can see some familiar words that refer to Norse mythology and the bigger MCU picture.

2. Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope

A classic scene where a squad of stormtroopers passes through a gate and one of them hits the raised door with his head. This random blooper has become so popular that director George Lucas has made the sound effect of the hit louder.

3. Iron Man

In the early Marvel films, there are quite a few references to other stories from the Marvel comics. One of them is from the first Iron Man movie, where Tony Stark takes off the suit, and in the background, we can see the prototype of Captain America’s shield lying on the table. It was the first on-screen hint of what the Marvel universe would become.
