Even the most committed of Marvel fans have baulked at how much a guy paid to meet Elizabeth OIsen for 10 seconds.
A couple of years ago, a TikTok user shared a clip of himself next to the Scarlet Witch actor, who turns 36 tomorrow (16 February), at the Superhero Comic Con & Car Show in San Antonio, Texas.
In the viral footage, he appears to take a picture with her during a meet-and-greet that apparently cost him $210 (£167).

The whole thing latest a matter of seconds and people couldn't believe it.
On the text overlay of the video, the fan wrote: “POV: You just paid $210 to meet Elizabeth Olsen for 10 seconds.”
And in the clip, fans appeared to even be queuing up for under 10 seconds to get a photo.

As one fan gets to have a very quick interaction with Olsen, he told her: “Welcome back to Texas,” before revealing they appeared in the background of a miniseries called Love & Death, where the actor stars as Candy Montgomery.
“Oh no way, I love hearing that!” she replied, before swiftly moving on to the next person.
Although it was, without a doubt, a very quick interaction, some viewers thought the experience was 'totally worth it'.

“Awesome! As long as it made you happy it’s all worth it! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!” one person commented.
“Would pay more tbh,” a second wrote, as a third added: “I mean I’ve spent 200 on worse s**t, at least you paid for a dope moment.”
Others also explained that's just how ‘professional photo ops are’.
I mean, I've been guilty of doing the odd meet-and-greet, and I think they're spot on with that point.

“It was 100 percent worth it for me,” they said.
However, some were just not having any of it.
“I’d get more from an autograph at their table than a photo,” one penned.

As a second complained: “Photo ops get ya every time. You don’t actually meet them. You run in, stand by them, and are quickly shoved out.”
To perhaps settle the debate, some fans shared their photos of the meet-up over in the comments, as one admitted: "She's so down to earth in person."
While someone else said: "She’s done Ace Comic Con in Seattle 2018 and she was at another convention recently.
"She’s the only favourite Avenger I met and got autograph from."
I guess this falls under the 'each to their own' category.
