Quotes13

  • Ebony Maw: Your powers are inconsequential compared to mine.
  • Tony Stark: Yeah, but the kid's seen more movies.
  • [Iron Man blows a hole in the ship, Ebony Maw is sucked out into space as in the climax of Aliens]
  • Ebony Maw: Stonekeeper, does this chattering animal speak for you?
  • Dr. Stephen Strange: Certainly not, I speak for myself. You are trespassing in this city and on this planet.
  • Tony Stark: That means get lost, Squidward!
  • Ebony Maw: Hear me and rejoice. You have had the privilege of being saved by the great Thanos. You may think this is suffering, no. It is salvation. The universal scale tips toward balance because of your sacrifice. Smile. For even in death, you have become children of Thanos.
  • Thanos: I know what it's like to lose. To feel so desperately that you're right, yet to fail none the less.
  • [Picks Thor off the ground]
  • Thanos: 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.
  • Thor: You talk too much.
  • Thanos: [to Loki while holding Thor by the head] The Tesseract. Or your brother's head. I assume you have a preference.
  • Loki: Oh, I do. Kill away.
  • Thor: [Shrieks in pain as Thanos presses the Power stone against his head]
  • Loki: All right, stop!
  • Thor: We don't have the Tesseract. It was destroyed on Asgard.
  • Loki: [Presents the Tesseract to Thanos]
  • Thor: You really are the worst, brother.
  • Loki: I assure you, brother... the sun will shine on us again.
  • Thanos: Your optimism is misplaced, Asgardian.
  • Loki: Well, for one thing, I'm not Asgardian. And for another... we have a Hulk.
  • Ebony Maw: [while Hulk beats up Thanos] Let him have his fun.
  • Thanos: [Heimdall sends Hulk to Earth by summoning the bifrost] That was a mistake
  • Thor: [Thanos stabs Heimdall in the chest] No! You're going to die for that.
  • Ebony Maw: [Presenting the Tesseract to Thanos] My humble personage bows before your grandeur. No other being has ever the might, nay the nobility, to wield not one, but two Infinity Stones. The universe, lies within your grasp.
  • Thanos: There are two more stones on Earth. Find them my children, bring them to me on Titan.
  • Proxima Midnight: Father, we will not fail you.
  • Loki: If I might interject. If you're going to Earth, you might want a guide. I do have a bit of experience in that area.
  • Thanos: If you consider failure experience.
  • Loki: I consider experience experience. Almighty Thanos... I, Loki, prince of Asgard... Odinson... the rightful king of the Jotunheim... god of mischief... do hereby pledge to you... my undying fidelity.
  • Thanos: [Uses the Gauntlet to stop Loki attempting to stab him in the neck] Undying? You should chose your words more carefully.
  • Loki: [as Thanos strangles him to death] You... will never be... a god
  • Thanos: No resurrections this time.
  • Ebony Maw: Hear me, and rejoice. You are about to die at the hands of the children of Thanos. Be thankful, that your meaningless lives are now i...
  • Tony Stark: I'm sorry! Earth is closed today. You better pack it up and get outta here.
  • Ebony Maw: Stone keeper. Does this chattering animal speak for you?
  • Dr. Stephen Strange: Certainly not, I speak for myself. You are trespassing in this city and on this planet.
  • Tony Stark: He means get lost, Squidward!
  • Gamora's Mother: Shh. We're gonna be safe
  • Young Gamora: [Weapons fire overhead and Gamora screams]
  • Ebony Maw: [Thanos' Chitauri army round up the Zehoborei people] Choose a side or die. One side a revelation, the other an honour known only to a few.
  • Thanos: [to a young Gamora] What's wrong little one?
  • Young Gamora: My mother. Where's my mother?
  • Thanos: What's your name?
  • Young Gamora: Gamora.
  • Thanos: You're quite the fighter Gamora. Come, let me help you.
  • [Walks Gamora away from the people being rounded up]
  • Thanos: Look.
  • [Pulls out a doube edged switchblade]
  • Thanos: Pretty, isn't is?
  • [Balances it on his index finger]
  • Thanos: Perfectly balanced, as all things should be. Too much to one side and the other...
  • [Hands it to Gamora]
  • Thanos: Here, you try.
  • Ebony Maw: [to one half of the Zehoberei people about to be slaughtered by the Chitauri] Now go in peace and meet your maker.
  • Thanos: [Gamora turns to see what the fuss is about] Uh-uh, concentrate. There, you got it.
  • [Thanos kills Heimdall]
  • Thor: You're going to die for that!
  • Ebony Maw: [seals Thor's mouth shut] Shhh.
  • Dr. Stephen Strange: A simple spell, but quite effective.
  • Ebony Maw: Then I will take it off your corpse.
  • Dr. Stephen Strange: A simple spell, but quite unbreakable.
  • Ebony Maw: Then I will take it off your corpse.
  • Ebony Maw: In all the time I have served Thanos, I have never failed him. If I were to reach our rendezvous on time, with the Time Stone still attached to your vaguely irritating person, there will be... judgment.
  • Ebony Maw: Hear me... and rejoice. You have had the privilege of being saved by the Great Titan... You may think this is suffering... No. It is salvation... Universal scales, tipped toward balance because of your sacrifice... Smile, for even in death you have become children of Thanos.
  • Ebony Maw: [facing Iron Man] Your powers are inconsequential compared to mine.
  • Iron Man: Yeah, but the kid's seen more movies.
  • [he fires a rocket into the wall, blasting it open. Ebony Maw is instantly sucked out into space. Strange also starts to sucked out. The Cloak of Levitation tries to save him, but he slips out of its grip. Spider-Man shoots a web-line out and tries to pull Strange up, but the piece of metal that he's holding onto breaks. As they're being pulled toward the hole, Spider-Man's armor deploys artificial spider-legs and keeps them from falling out]
  • Spider-Man: Yes! Wait, what are those?
  • [he pulls Strange back in while Iron Man seals the hole. Ebony Maw's body drifts away into space]
  • Spider-Man: [extends his hand to the Cloak of Levitation] Hey, we haven't officially met.
  • [the Cloak looks at him and then flies back to Strange]
  • Spider-Man: Cool.
  • Dr. Stephen Strange: A simple spell, but quite unbreakable.
  • Ebony Maw: Then I will take it off you a corpse.
  • Thor: [after Loki reveals the Tesseract] You really are the worst brother.
  • Loki: [approaches Thanos] I assure you, brother, the sun will shine on us again.
  • Thanos: [chuckles] Your optimism is misplaced, Asgardian.
  • Loki: Well for one thing, I'm not Asgardian. And for another... we have a Hulk.
  • [Hulk charges forward and slams into Thanos while Loki drops the Tesseract and pulls Thor out of the way. Hulk then begins punching Thanos rapidly, then grabs his neck and drives him into the wall. Cull Obsidian starts to step forward, but Ebony Maw stops him]
  • Ebony Maw: Let him have his fun.
  • [Thanos grabs Hulk's wrists and peels them away. He then lands a blow to Hulk's neck, causing him to cry out in pain. Hulk tries to strike back, but Thanos blocks his blows. He then delivers a series of powerful punches, dazing Hulk. Thanos lifts Hulk over his head and slams him to the floor. Thor tries to attack Thanos, but Thanos slaps him back. Ebony Maw telekinetically restrains Thor with metal]
  • Heimdall: [lifting his sword] All-fathers, let the dark magic flow through me one last time.
  • [lifts his arm and the power of the Bifrost flows through him. He casts the power around the Hulk, lifting him off the ground and teleporting him away and safe from harm. Thanos approaches Heimdall]
  • Thanos: That was a mistake.
  • [plunges a blade through Heimdall's chest, killing him]
  • Thor: NO! You're going to die for that!
  • [Ebony Maw telekinetically muffles Thor]
  • Ebony Maw: Shh.
