Content Warning: The following article contains spoilers for Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Since its debut in 2008, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has expanded into 27 films and five Disney + series for fans to enjoy. There are currently no signs of stopping when it comes to developing more MCU projects, as the list of upcoming releases continues to grow.
Across the witty lines and inspiring monologues, there have also been a number of quotes surrounding the common emotion fans feel towards the MCU: love. From Vision’s melancholy definition of emotion to his wife Wanda, to the silent display of Steve Rogers’ brothers-in-arms affection for Bucky Barnes, the MCU has a plethora of quotes featuring the different types of love, from romantic to platonic.
Vision to Wanda Maximoff in WandaVision
“What is sorrow if not enduring love?”
During episode 8 of WandaVision titled “Previously On”, Agatha forces Wanda to relive some of her memories. One of those memories is of Wanda and Vision in her Avengers Compound room after Avengers: Age of Ultron and he tries to comfort her after the loss of her brother Pietro.
The delivery of this line had a big impact on Wanda and on viewers, as there was praise for the quote online immediately after the episode’s release, as it offered a new perspective on grief that many have come to believe in. resonated. It was also just the thing Wanda needed to hear right now to keep her from letting grief drown her completely like she feared.
Morgan Stark to Tony Stark (and Vice Versa) in Avengers: Endgame
“I love you, 3000.”
Morgan Stark joined the MCU in Avengers: Endgame and quickly warmed the hearts of those watching. In the first half of the film, she tells her father Tony Stark that she loves him 3000 after he tells her, “I love you very much”. The line was cute and touching on its own, especially assuming it picked up a scientific trait from her father Tony Stark, but then becomes almost painful after he repeated it in a message he left after he passed away. . These are the last words Morgan and fans hear from Tony, so it’s no wonder audiences love this quote and keep it close to their hearts.
Bucky Barnes to Steve Rogers (and vice versa) in Captain America: The Winter Soldier
“I’m with you until the end of the line.”
Best friends since childhood, Bucky and Steve have certainly been through a lot together. This line was born from a flashback scene in Captain America: The Winter Soldier where Bucky reminds Steve that he doesn’t have to face life alone after his mother passes away. Later in the movie, Steve tells Bucky as a Winter Soldier rather than fighting him, and it’s this line that seems to stir something in Bucky’s mind and keep him from hurting Steve further. .
Their relationship was interpreted as both platonic and romantic by audiences, but no matter how the duo are viewed, there is no doubt that the love that Bucky was reminded of by that line was more than important. .
Loki to Sylvie in Loki
“Love is a dagger. It is a weapon to be wielded from far or near. You can see yourself in it. It is beautiful until it makes you bleed.”
As the two travel to Shuroo by train in Episode 3 of Loki titled “Lamentis”, Loki and Sylvie have a conversation about love, creating different metaphors for what it is. It takes a few drinks for Loki to come up with his own metaphor, but once he finds the words, his comparison is actually quite poetic.
He encompasses both the ups and downs that can come with being in love in a very Loki way, with daggers seemingly being his weapon of choice throughout his time in the MCU. It offers Loki’s perspective on emotion as something precious and yet something very dangerous.
Peter Park from Andrew Garfield to the Spider-Men multiverse in Spider-Man: No Way Home
“I love you.”
With the recent revelation that this line was improvised from an exclusive interview with Variety, those four words from Peter Parker from Andrew Garfield to the other two Peters just got even more special. Peter’s sudden burst of love came from Garfield’s heart as he began to love Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland like brothers during the filming Spider-Man: No Path Home.
The random confession resonated with fans for them as well, as seeing the three Spider-Man together on screen was surreal to many viewers who could only express their love to all of the Peter Parkers as well.
Wanda Maximoff in Vision (And Vice Versa) in Avengers: Infinity War
“I just feel you.”
After the events of Captain America: Civil War, Wanda and Vision find themselves testing the waters of their new relationship while hiding from the world at the start of Avengers: Infinity War. The mind stone in Vision’s head starts to bother him so he asks Wanda to tell him how she feels, to which she responds, “I just feel you.”
This response shows that her love for him has always been for him and the times Wanda and Vision shared rather than the power he can possess. When Vision repeats the phrase later in the movie to reassure himself as Wanda destroys the same stone, it indicates that he loves her regardless of the unfortunate circumstances they have found themselves in.
Drax to Mantis in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
“When you’re ugly and someone loves you, you know they love you for who you are. Belle never knows who to trust.”
Brutal honesty is one of Drax’s most defining traits as he takes everything literally, and he’s only honest in this quote. He said this to Mantis for a while alone in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and although it is not as sincere as other lines, it still carries weight.
Successful people are often unsure whether those who want to connect with them really want to connect with them or use them for personal gain. An example of this can even be found in the movie, as Peter Quill believed his father Ego wanted to bond with him to make up for lost time while Ego really only wanted Peter’s celestial power.
Thena to Sersi in Eternals
“When you love something, you protect it. It’s the most natural thing in the world.”
Just before the final battle of Eternals, two of the team’s most powerful members, Thena and Sersi, share a few lonely minutes in which Thena recites those words Gilgamesh once said to her. The statement reassures Sersi in his decision to stop the emergence that would ultimately destroy planet Earth, but also reinforces the family theme within the group, as this is the reasoning Gilgamesh gave Thena when she asked him to. why he had taken care of her for so long. Families always have their ups and downs, like the Eternals did when they went their separate ways, but in the end, they prove that families are ready to protect each other as well.
Odin to Thor & Loki in Thor: Ragnarok
“I love you, my sons.”
Just before Odin passed away at Thor: Ragnarok, he has a heart to heart with Thor and Loki where he informs them of their sister Hela and reassures them that he loves them. While this moment might not have anything special for Thor, those few words took Loki by surprise and that shock is clear on his face.
Having lived most of his life in his brother’s shadow, Loki’s inclusion in Odin’s declaration of love was unexpected and yet necessary as a sort of closure before Odin’s death. The importance of this moment is underscored by the incorporation of the line into Loki’s “greatest hits” towards the end of the first episode of Loki titled “Glorious Objective”.
Black Widow to Loki in The Avengers
“Love is for children. I owe him a debt.”
Natasha says these words to Loki as part of her interrogation at The Avengers and it’s reminiscent of where her character started versus how she ended. She behaves like a more reserved being early in her time in the MCU, but a softer side of Natasha emerges as her Avengers family begins to grow on her.
In Black Widow, audiences see her with her childhood family and how openly she loves them, especially her sister Yelena. Natasha has fought many battles during her life, but that has never made her less able to love.
