* ''Series/{{Ms Marvel|2022}}'': Just like [[Characters/MarvelComicsKamalaKhan her comic book counterpart]], Kamala Kahn is an imaginative and shamelessly nerdy fangirl of the Avengers (''especially'' Captain Marvel) whose [[EstablishingCharacterMoment very first scene]] features her narrating a gushy fanfic she wrote about Carol turning the tide during ''[[Film/AvengersEndgame Endgame]]'''s climatic final battle, to say nothing about how ''ecstatic'' she is upon gaining powers of her own. Her actress, Iman Vellani, being just as much of a Marvel fangirl in real life certainly doesn't hurt.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* And then in his own solo MCU outing, ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming:'' Spidey dials it UpToEleven. '''This''' is your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man circa 2016 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8-BFx3xFJ4]]

* The successors of Film/{{Black Widow|2021}} and Series/{{Hawkeye|2021}}, Yelena Belova and Kate Bishop. Both are highly skilled combatants, with the former also being a trained assassin. And both are also twentysomething women [[{{Womanchild}} behaving like teenagers]] who geek out over various things. Tellingly, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeoEv03xWlE the interactions between both]] are highlighted by fans as both endearing and hilarious. Helps that [[Creator/FlorencePugh their]] [[Creator/HaileeSteinfeld actresses]] are both rather beloved by fans for their ''own in-real-life adorkableness''.

** The introduction of Peter Parker/Spider-Man in this film is this trope personified! He is a complete fanboy throughout his first battle ("Hey, Captain. Big fan. I'm Spider-Man.") and even the battle plans he suggests are nerdisms ("Hey guys, you ever see that really old movie, Empire Strikes Back? And y'know they were on the ice planet... with the walking thingies?")

Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/IronMan'': Tony Stark. While he's a [[DeadpanSnarker snarker]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe showboater]] in public, his adorkableness is on full throttle when he's around the few close people he has, teasing them and giving them nicknames. (Like [[ComicBook/WarMachine Rhodey]].)
* ''Film/{{Thor}}'':
** Jane's usually a level-headed girl, but anytime Thor turns on the charm, she turns to a giggling school girl. Being played by Creator/NataliePortman certainly didn't hurt.
** Thor himself applies when he's on Earth. Despite being completely ignorant to how the mortal world works, he is a polite and chivalrous gentleman towards women, Jane in particular, even before [[spoiler:his redemption]]. He even [[IKissYourHand kisses]] Jane's hand and bows in farewell to Darcy and Erik for their help.
** The Warriors Three and Sif demonstrated adorkability tapping on the glass window with huge grins when they found Thor.
* ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'': Even after becoming the peak of [[SuperSoldier physical human perfection]], Steve Rogers is still the earnest and kind-hearted man that he was prior to the Super-Soldier procedures.
* ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'':
** Mark Ruffalo as Dr. Bruce Banner. Quiet, nerdy, wears glasses, has rumpled hair, and a slightly nervous demeanor, as he's working for a company he doesn't exactly trust, with other super-powered people who won't get along, and he's trying his hardest to stay calm and not to let "[[Film/TheIncredibleHulk2008 The Big Guy]]" out. Also, he rides a tiny motorcycle at one point. And with the return of the previously mentioned [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger Steve Rogers]] and Film/{{Thor}}, the film is just FULL of [[BuffySpeak adorkable-ness]].
---->'''Bruce:''' I'm sorry. That was mean...
** Usually dry and deadpan S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Phil Coulson turns out to be quite adorkable too, particularly as an AscendedFanboy. For example, he tells Captain America, "I watched you while you were sleeping," [[ThatCameOutWrong before realizing how creepy that sounds]].
* ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar:'' The Vision, after a year of two of being alive, hasn't quite gotten the hang of interacting with other people, leading to scenes like him not yet knowing he's supposed to use ''doors'', or valiantly trying to make sense of a cookery book, all while decked out in casual clothing (despite being a hyper-advanced android).

* ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}:'' King T'Challa of Wakanda, ruler of the most advanced nation on Earth, unstoppable badass... cannot talk to the woman he likes without freezing up, so much so even his stoic bodyguard taunts him about it.
