2----
3!!This work provides examples of:
4* AGlassOfChianti: [[spoiler: Loki]] enjoys both a nice glass of wine...and a war.
5* AdaptedOut[=/=]AuthorAppeal: Why neither [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules Amadeus Cho]] nor ComicBook/TheSentry are involved with this story. The writer is not a big fan of either character.
6** The latter of the two tropes is also why [[spoiler: Hawkeye]] is brought back from the dead.
7* ArmorPiercingQuestion: while comparing ongoing Hulk’s invasion & rampage through New York City, Civil War and Peter Parker being Spider-Man all along, Robbie Robertson tells this to Jonah:
8 --->"Robbie, I'm just trying to do what I know to do." '''Jonah'''
9--->"But you have to accept that you're not always right, Jonah," '''Robbie pressed.''' [[NotSoDifferentRemark "Just like Stark and Richards." ]] '''He waved at the window.''' [[LaserGuidedKarma "You see what that's led to, Jonah. ]] You want to find something like that happening to you?"
10** Captain America to Warbound during final battle, in light of Miek’s deception and Banner-less!Hulk becoming world-threatening:
11--->"So which is it going to be? Help us or let another world be destroyed?"
12* ArmorPiercingResponse: while discussing Jonah Jameson’s obsession about Spider-Man and Reveal of Peter Parker’s Spider-Man secret identity, Robbie says this to Jonah:
13--->"He made a fool of me, Robbie."
14
15--->"No, he just gave you an audience."

19* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Hawkeye and Baron Mordo]]
20* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler:Loki]] pulls off an impressive one. He and [[spoiler:Baron Mordo]] were the ones who caused [[ComicBook/HouseOfM the Scarlet Witch to throw a shit fit]] and influenced Tony Stark into banishing the Hulk; [[spoiler:Mordo]] ran interference, disguised as Doctor Strange. Once the superheroes were either dead or incapacitated, they would take over the planet. He just did not count on [[spoiler:Thor surviving Ragnarok]].

44
45--->"Oh, Walters, Walters, Walters. For a lawyer, you are amazingly optimistic about people. Didn't it ever occur to you that this little gathering would need some help figuring out the right way to lure Banner up there? Who better to give that than the man who knew Banner so well?" '''As her face fell, the grin grew. ''' "It would seem the Hippocratic Oath doesn't extend to the gamma powered."

61** The Hulk to the world: surrender the Illuminati or all Hell will break loose.
62* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Basically the reaction of [[spoiler:the Warbound when Banner realises that Miek is the real reason Sakaar was destroyed, Rogers confronting the rest of the team with the fact that they're going after a world that literally never did them any harm]].

66** YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: Doom does admit that by setting the Hulk up is the first time he "truly respected" Reed. Doubles as BaddieFlattery.

After hearing what [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe Hulk had done to the Green Goblin]], they decide that prison is safer than dealing with the Hulk.
75* [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight Screw Your Orders, I'm Staying!]] Wolverine refuses to retreat on Cap's orders. It takes both Spidey and Falcon to drag him from the battle.
