The Avengers franchise is renowned for its action-packed sequences, relatable characters, and memorable quotes. Beyond the humor, the series also explores the emotional depth of its characters, making it a beloved franchise. Here, we go into the most iconic quotes from the franchise’s films, making the case for their underrated status.
The Avengers franchise began with 2012’s “The Avengers,” which introduced the world to Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth. The character’s introduction was met with mixed reactions, with some finding his MCU debut “hammy” and serious. However, the film’s writers cleverly humanized Thor by incorporating humor, making his interactions with Iron Man particularly memorable. One such quote is when Thor refers to Iron Man as “metal man,” showcasing the lighthearted tone of the film.
The Avengers franchise continued to grow in scope and scale with subsequent films. “Avengers: Infinity War” saw the Guardians of the Galaxy join the Avengers, resulting in some hilarious and emotional moments. Drax’s accurate description of Thor, likening him to a combination of an angel and a pirate, is one such memorable quote.
Avengers: Endgame, the culmination of the Infinity Saga, brought together an unprecedented number of superheroes for one massive climactic battle. Amidst the chaos, Doctor Strange and Wong exchanged a humorous line, questioning if they had seen everyone, emphasizing the enormity of the scene.
Infamous among fans is the inconsistent “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” However, the film’s humor and character development still shine through. Hawkeye, played by Jeremy Renner, received more screen time, allowing viewers to connect with his character on a deeper level. His wife, Laura Barton, succinctly summarized his purpose within the Avengers, emphasizing how he keeps the team grounded.
