Savage One-Liners and Comebacks

“I’m not from Earth, I’m from Missouri.” – Peter Parker

Tony doesn’t even flinch before delivering this burn. It’s the perfect reminder that Quill may be part alien now, but his Earth geography still sucks.
19. “You’re embarrassing me.” – Thor
“I told them you’d be stupid. You’re a dude. This is a man.” – Rocket Raccoon

Emotional Gut-Punch Lines
23. “You could never hurt me. I just feel you.” – Vision
As Wanda is forced to destroy the Mind Stone embedded in Vision’s head, he reassures her with this line. It’s soft, tragic, and full of love. He knows he’s about to die by her hand, but all he feels is her presence.
24. “I love you more than anything.” – Gamora

Wanda screams this through tears as Thanos reverses time, bringing Vision back to life only to kill him again. Her earlier act of sacrifice becomes meaningless, and the grief in her voice is crushing.
26. “I don’t want to go.” – Peter Parker
This one deserves a second mention in full context. Peter repeats this in Tony’s arms during the Snap. Unlike the others, he feels it happening. His voice shakes, and the sheer panic in his face broke hearts worldwide.
27. “He’s never fought me.”
“Yeah, he has.” “He’s never fought me twice.” – Thor and Rocket

28. “You’re strong. Me, you held your own.” – Thanos

29. “We don’t trade lives, Captain.” – Vision

Tony says this to Peter Parker, not in so many words, but through his actions and protective tone. The guilt he feels after Peter turns to dust isn’t just about the mission — it’s about a bond he failed to protect.
32. “I hope they remember you.” – Thanos

33. “You’re strong. But I could snap my fingers, and you’d all cease to exist.” – Thanos
Thanos says this to Tony Stark during their one-on-one battle on Titan. Tony has just thrown everything he has at him, even managing to draw blood.
But this calm, dismissive line reminds us that even Stark’s best efforts mean nothing compared to the god-like power Thanos now holds. It is a quiet moment of domination that underlines just how hopeless the situation is.
34. “I told you to go right!” – Peter Quill
When their plan to remove the Gauntlet nearly works, Quill breaks emotionally after finding out that Thanos killed Gamora.
He lashes out at Thanos, waking him from Mantis’s hold and ruining their only real shot at victory. The pain in Quill’s voice isn’t just anger, it’s heartbreak and grief bursting out in the worst moment possible.
35. “Please… I don’t want to go. I’m sorry.” – Peter Parker
Peter clings to Tony as he begins to disintegrate. His voice is shaky and full of fear. He apologizes while desperately begging to stay.
This moment is particularly brutal because Peter is just a kid, and his death is slow, unlike the others. It devastates Tony, who watches his worst fear play out in front of him.
36. “Today I lost more than you can know. But now is no time to mourn. Now is no time at all.” – Thanos

38. “You asked me to do it. You convinced me. And I did. And it meant killing you. I’m sorry.” – Wanda Maximoff

39. “We don’t get to choose our time.” – Vision
Vision says this while trying to comfort Wanda before she destroys the Mind Stone. He knows he’s going to die, but he accepts it with peace and grace. It’s a moment of selflessness that makes his eventual death even more painful.
40. “This day extracts a heavy toll.” – Thanos
Thanos says this to Doctor Strange during their confrontation. He’s already sacrificed Gamora, and many of his soldiers have died. But he still pushes forward.
The line shows how deeply he believes in his mission, no matter what it costs him or anyone else.
41. “You could never hurt me. I just feel you.” – Vision
These are Vision’s last words to Wanda before she destroys him. As she channels her power into the Mind Stone, he tells her this to ease her pain. He wants her to know that he feels her love in his final moment, not pain or fear.
42. “What did it cost?” – Child Gamora
“Everything.” – Thanos
After the Snap, Thanos sees a vision of young Gamora. She asks him what his victory cost. His response is quiet and immediate. Everything. It’s the one moment where he seems to truly feel the weight of his actions. There is no satisfaction, only the hollow silence of success built on tragedy.
Heavy-Hitters – Long Quotes That Define the Film
These are the long-form quotes that go deeper than one-liners. They carry meaning, heartbreak, and clarity about who these characters really are.
43. “You may think this is suffering. No. It is salvation. The universal scales tip toward balance because of your sacrifice. Smile, for even in death, you have become children of Thanos.” – Ebony Maw
This haunting speech opens the movie as Ebony Maw addresses the slaughtered Asgardians. It’s the twisted philosophy of the Black Order, where death is seen as noble.
Maw treats genocide like a sacred offering, framing Thanos’s actions as divine justice. It sets the eerie tone right from the beginning.
44. “If he gets all the Infinity Stones, he can do it with the snap of his fingers. Like that.” – Gamora
Gamora warns the Guardians early in the film. This line foreshadows everything. Her fear is real, and she knows Thanos better than anyone. No one takes it seriously until it’s too late.
45. “I had a family once. I was a father.” – Thanos
Thanos says this briefly, almost offhandedly, while explaining the Soul Stone to Gamora. He does not elaborate. The line is heavy because it shows that he, too, once had people he loved and lost. It gives us a glimpse into his possible trauma and what may have shaped his twisted ideology.
46. “I know what it’s like to lose. To feel so desperately that you’re right, yet to fail nonetheless. It’s frightening. Turns the legs to jelly. I ask you, to what end? Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same. And now, it’s here. Or should I say, I am.” – Thanos
This is one of Thanos’s most memorable speeches, delivered to Tony and the team during the Titan confrontation.
It is philosophical, cold, and terrifying. He doesn’t see himself as a conqueror but as destiny itself. The speech is a declaration that no matter what the Avengers try, they cannot stop him.
47. “Stark… you have my respect. When I’m done, half of humanity will still be alive. I hope they remember you.” – Thanos
Thanos says this to Tony after stabbing him during the Titan fight. He sees Tony as a worthy opponent, one of the few people who truly challenged him. It is not mockery, it is admiration. The line stings because it comes just before Thanos nearly ends Tony’s life.
48. “I’m sorry it had to be this way.” – Wanda Maximoff
Wanda says this to Vision as she’s forced to destroy the Mind Stone and kill him. Her voice is full of heartbreak, but there is no hesitation. She is doing what needs to be done to save the universe. It is one of the film’s most tragic scenes, filled with love and pain.
49. “You’re full of tricks, wizard. But you never once used your greatest weapon.” – Thanos
Thanos says this to Doctor Strange before taking the Time Stone. He recognizes that Strange has been holding back, and he is right. Strange gave up the stone willingly, not because he was defeated, but because he saw what had to happen. This line confirms Thanos’s sharp awareness, even in combat.
50. “I’m not saying it was easy. But the hardest choices require the strongest wills.” – Thanos
This quote defines Thanos’s core belief. He says it to Gamora after she calls him a monster. He does not deny it. Instead, he reframes his actions as a burden that only someone like him is strong enough to carry. To him, mass murder is not evil. It is mercy through pain.
51. “You’re strong. But I could snap my fingers, and you’d all cease to exist. It’s not personal.” – Thanos
He says this to Tony on Titan, right after nearly killing him. The calmness in his voice makes it scarier. To Thanos, wiping out half the universe isn’t cruelty, it’s math.
