Spoken by Thanos[]
- "In all my years of conquest, violence, slaughter, it was never personal. But I'll tell you now, what I'm about to do to your stubborn, annoying little planet... I'm gonna enjoy it. Very, very much."
- ―Thanos tells Captain America how much he'll enjoy destroying the Earth[src]
Dialogue[]
- "Ronan's located the Power Stone. I'm dispatching you to his ship."
"He won't like that."
"His alternative is death. Ronan's obsession clouds his judgement."
"I will not fail you, father."
"No, you won't."
"I swear I will make you proud." - ―Thanos prepares to lend Gamora and Nebula out to Ronan in the Quest for the Orb[src]
- "You could not live with your own failure. And where did that bring you? Back to me. I thought by eliminating half of life, the other half would thrive, but you've shown me... that's impossible. As long as there are those that remember what was, there will always be those that are unable to accept what can be. They will resist."
"Yep. We're all kinds of stubborn."
"I'm thankful...because now...I know what I must do. I will shred this universe down to its last atom and then, with the stones you've collected for me, create a new one teeming with life that knows not what it has lost but only what it has been given. A grateful universe."
"Born out of blood."
"They'll never know it. Because you won't be alive to tell them." - ―Thanos thanks Iron Man and Captain America for giving him a new purpose before engaging them and Thor[src]
- "Where's Nebula?"
"She's not responding."
"Sire!" - ―Thanos and Corvus Glaive are unaware that their Nebula has been killed by the Avengers' Nebula until Ebony Maw points out Hawkeye with the Nano Gauntlet[src]
- "You took everything from me."
"I don't even know who you are."
"You will." - ―Scarlet Witch faces Thanos during the Battle of Earth[src]
- "Rain fire!"
"But, sire, our troops!"
"Just DO IT!" - ―Thanos orders his the Sanctuary II to fire at Scarlet Witch despite Corvus Glaive's concerns about their own getting caught in the crosshairs[src]
- "I am...inevitable."
"And I...am...Iron Man." - ―Thanos thinks he's won the Battle of Earth before realizing Tony Stark has the Infinity Stones[src]
