    I liked the first appearance of the newly re-cast Rhodey. Tony says "I didn't expect to see you here." and Don Cheadle says "look... it's me, I'm here, deal with it. let's move on"

      As a meta joke that fits with most of this list - and is actually better than a lot of the other entries. But, like most of this list, it's also not really a 4th wall break.

    We need to clarify what "breaking the 4th wall" means because eating burger king is not a 4th wall break. Unless RDJ had a promo deal with BK and "winked at" the camera while eating it in Iron Man.

      Right, only three of these are actual “breaking the 4th wall” moments.

    Fourth wall breaking is when one (or more) of the characters literally address the audience because they know what's happening, has happened or is going to happen in the fiction being enacted before the audience's eyes.

    "Breaking the fourth wall" is when characters either directly acknowledge the audience, or at the very least, seem aware that they are being observed.
    I like this channel in general, but honestly, some of these really don't count. Exposition isn't breaking the fourth wall, it's one character talking to another.
    10: "No resurrections" - nope. Thanos is well-aware of what Loki can do, that includes faking his own death. Just because the audience now knows Loki is really dead, doesn't mean Thanos was telling us that.
    9: The Watcher in _What If...?_ - Okay I haven't seen it, but if he's _only_ a narrator and not a character within the narrative, it's not a break. If he's a character in the narrative who also talks to the audience, sure.
    8: "Active fanbase" haven't seen it, probably shouldn't comment as I don't know the full context.
    7: Not sure if this is canon so I'm not convinced.
    6: Baby Groot hitting the camera - yes. This would be a form of acknowledging that they're being observed.
    5: Wandavision - haven't seen it, but if characters are acknowledging invisible cameras then yes, that would be a break. Contrast this with _The Office_ where the film crew was very much a part of the narrative. The whole thing is a break because the characters are, within the narrative, real people who know they are being filmed.
    4: Portman and Paltrow weren't invited - again, cheeky in-joke, the studio acknowledging the audience isn't the same as the characters doing it
    3: "Zip it" - Normally I'd say cheeky in-joke, as Wilson isn't talking to the audience. But Wilson is also constantly aware of the audience. If he's making a joke knowing the audience will find it funny, then yeah.
    2: Tony Stark eating a burger because of a famous story where RDJ ate a burger barely counts. Stark doesn't know that's why he's eating the burger. It's a cheeky in-joke at best.
    1: Clever. Don't know if it counts, but it's clever.

      Wanda didn't break the actual 4th wall in Wanda Vision. She was speaking to an audience that is part of the narrative. Not speaking to us, but to an audience within the show. She created a reality where she is in a TV show that has an audience. The TV cameras are part of the reality she created. She broke the 4th wall within her own reality... just not the 4th wall that separates her from the real audience. Same as the office, which doesn't break the 4th wall. They are speaking to a film crew that is within their own reality. Dunder Mifflin is not a real company in our world, but it is in their reality. They believe their jobs are real... and when doing interviews, they stay within the confines of their reality. They are speaking to an in show audience, not the actual audience.

    I think 1 or 2 of these are 4th wall breaking but the rest aren't even close.
    Think Ferris Bueller looking at the camera many times and talking directly to the audience. That's what breaking the 4th wall means.

    How can you ignore one of the funniest post-credit scenes of the entire MCU - namely Cap's PSA about patience at the end of Spider-man: Homecoming? At least that involves a bit of actual 4th wall breaking and isn't just an in-joke or a meta reference like most of these are...

    Most of these do not count as an MCU 4th wall break. The wandavision one earlier in the list for sure definitely, but Deadpool 2 doesn't as the character isn't currently in the MCU and the Gweneth Paltrow and Natalie Portman one doesn't count as a throw away line of dialogue doesn't fit.

    Considering just how massively popular Agents of SHIELD continues to be, long after the show came to a satisfying conclusion in its seventh season, May's comment about a "small but active fan base" is more ironic than it is fourth wall breaking.

    Do we not count Stan Lee telling the Watchers his whole life story in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, mentioning several of his cameos in earlier MCU films?
    When we learned that Benedict Cumberbatch was playing Doctor Strange, and later when we learned that Strange would meet Tony Stark in a crossover, someone suggested that Stark (already with a reputation for assigning nicknames left and right) should at some point address him as "Sherlock".

    Breaking the fourth wall is whenever a character in the narrative references the fact that they're in the very movie or TV show they're in, or are aware of the actors who play the characters. Winking at the camera, saying dialogue that serves as a nod to something the fandom expects, PRETENDING to be on a studio set as part of a story's meta-narrative--- these aren't actually instances of the very production of the movie or TV series actually being acknowledge and the 4th wall being broken. Very close, but not quite.
    There are exactly two instances in this entire list where the 4th wall actually is broken: Korg and Deadpool promoting Free Guy, and Deadpool calling Josh Brolin as Thanos in a non-MCU movie.

    correction: RDJ actually likes burger king and was so bent out on drugs that he couldnt even taste the burger, and that is what started him down the path of getting clean. this story is often misunderstood into being a "burger king is so gross" story. that being said, i dont much care for BK personally.
