Is there anything better than watching your favorite superheroes using their superpowers to save the world from certain doom? The answer: Yes, listening to those same superheroes deliver some of the best and memorable lines you will hear at some of the best moments in Marvel’s Ultimate Avengers animated film. This quarter, we salute the Avengers crew’s witty delivery in the face of danger.
Tony Stark (to Black Widow): “I’m free for nightcaps later. Interested? You can bring your gun.”
A billionaire by day and Iron Man by night, Stark is known to have a soft spot for the ladies. He has never met a woman who has resisted him or that would ever turn him down. So, when the Black Widow meets Mr. Moneybags and undresses him using her gun, the billionaire isn’t turned off, making him more hardcore than that other billionaire who wears a cape.
Bruce: “Any questions?”
Lab workers raise hands
Bruce: “Any questions not about the Hulk?”
Lab workers lower hands.
This genius is known for his brilliant mind and his hulking desire to destroy when he is angry. He is willing to do whatever it takes to be with the love of his life, Betty. That includes leading a lab trying to redevelop the Super Soldier Serum. Sometimes, people in his lab just ask too many questions.
After taking a beating from Hulk, Captain America walks up to the Hulk.
Captain America: “Hey! We are not done yet!”
Captain America then punches Hulk in the face … twice.
This all-American soldier is known for inspiring everyone — team members and readers alike — to be the best person you can be. But Cap also practices what he preaches.
Thor: “… and though we are but peaceful protesters, do not assume that we cannot be provoked.”
Whale hunter shoots at Thor
Thor: “ Like that.”
Lightning and wind batters the hunters
The son of Odin is no pushover. But, he doesn’t openly look for fights; he fights for only what he believes in. So, Thor, who, is from Norway — one of two countries that still hunts whales — is helping a group of people protect the whales from whale hunters. A noble cause, indeed. And all protests are peaceful unless he is provoked
Giant Man (while holding Hulk in his hand): “You’re still a little man, Banner. Now, knock it off or I’m gonna squish you.”
Hulk breaks the hold and grabs Giant Man by the neck. Hulk then punches Hank in the knee, breaking it.
The Hulk doesn’t have to speak for you to understand what he wants. You just know when he looks at you to either run or hope that Hulk is distracted by the time he gets to you. In fact, Hulk is the only person on the list who doesn’t have an actual spoken line. Hardcore.
