*** The fandom agrees - this ship ''exploded'' after ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''.

*** Tony and Stephen repeatedly save each other from dangerous situations - [[spoiler: Tony helping get rid of Maw while he was torturing Stephen, and later Stephen protects him and Peter when the ship crashes.]]

*** [[spoiler: Tony helps Stephen after he looks into the future]] in a scene reminiscent of helping someone who’s had a panic attack - something Tony has personal experience with.

*** Strange winks at Tony after doing an some magic in front of him. Tony turns and smirks, looking genuinely impressed.

*** [[spoiler:Tony rants to Strange ... in front of a romantic starry background?]] Some people on Tumblr thought this was photoshopped this until they saw the movie because it was just so gay.
*** [[spoiler:Tony helps Stephen after he looks into the future]] in a scene reminiscent of helping someone who’s had a panic attack - something Tony has personal experience with.
*** [[spoiler:Stephen sacrifices the time stone for Tony.]] It's a tactical choice, but it requires an ''insane'' amount of trust in Tony on Stephen's part.

--> '''Loki:''' [[SincerityMode I've looked forward to this day as long as you have. You're my brother and my friend. Sometimes I'm envious, but never doubt that I love you.]]
--> '''Thor:''' Thank you.
--> '''Loki:''' Now, give us a kiss?
-->'''Thor:''' ''[laughs]'' Stop it!

-->'''Steve:''' You ready to follow Captain America into the jaws of death?
-->'''Bucky:''' Hell, no! [[WartsAndAll The little guy from Brooklyn who was too dumb not to run away from a fight]]. I'm following him.

** Creator/TomHiddleston in this [[http://collider.com/tom-hiddleston-thor-ragnarok-interview/#loki interview]] discloses that the Grandmaster becomes Loki's [[MealTicket sugar daddy]] after the latter arrives on Sakaar.

* The Grandmaster seems to be flirting with Loki when he tells him that on any other world, he'd probably be millions of years old, but here on Sakaar... ''blinks slowly at Loki''. Some fans also questioned why Loki knew both the codes and the specs of Grandmaster's orgy ship in particular. Moreover, Loki is the sole person who gets to sit on the Grandmaster's couch in the latter's private box at the arena; not even the second-in-command Topaz receives this (dubious) honour, nor the despot's favourite scrapper Valkyrie. It makes one wonder: what kind of service did Loki provide to the Grandmaster that is distinct from Topaz, Valkyrie and the other underlings which would earn him such an exalted position in only a few weeks time?

* [[spoiler:Cap/Thor earns a new lease on life here when Loki shapeshifts into Captain America, and then some.]]

** He later describes Thor as a cross between "a pirate and an angel". (It's hard to blame him, really.)

** ...which leads to a much darker moment: [[spoiler:Bucky's last word is "Steve?", in confusion and fear, as he moves towards Cap before vanishing. And Steve--Captain America, the first Avenger, the guy who just took a punch from an Infinity Gauntlet and stayed standing--is so broken by Bucky's death that he can't say a word, just kneeling and touching the grass where Bucky used to be. If previous films didn't sell you hard enough on Bucky's status as essentially Steve's tragic love interest, this one will.]]

** Speaking of [[spoiler: Tony, he and Strange do get mighty close over the course of the film. Their interactions are pure Tsundere."

* Valkyrie goes deep in this territory in the film once or twice. In a flashback showing her backstory, a fellow teammate of her sacrifices her life for her by [[TakingTheBullet throwing herself in front of one of Hela’s attacks meant for Valkyrie.]] This implied that they were kind of close.

--> '''Rhodey''': Next time, you ride with me, okay?

* Tony spends most of the [[Film/IronMan3 third movie]] dodging questions about his PTSD, but TheStinger reveals he's opening up and telling the entire story to [[spoiler: Bruce Banner.]]

--> '''Loki''': [[SincerityMode I've looked forward to this day as long as you have. You're my brother and my friend. Sometimes I'm envious, but never doubt that I love you.]]
--> '''Thor''': Thank you.
--> '''Loki''': Now, give us a kiss?
-->'''Thor''': (''laughs'') Stop it!

-->'''Bucky''': No! Not without you!

-->'''Bucky''': (leans over) But, you're keeping the [Cap] outfit, right?
-->'''Steve''': You know, it's kind of growing on me.

-->'''Steve''': You ready to follow Captain America into the jaws of death?
-->'''Bucky''': Hell, no! [[WartsAndAll The little guy from Brooklyn who was too dumb not to run away from a fight]]. I'm following him.

--> '''Stark''': Finally! Someone who speaks English.

--> '''Stark''': (''To Hawkeye'') Better clench up, Legolas!

-->Performance issues. It's not uncommon... one out of five.

---> '''Stark''': (''To Loki'') There is no version of this [[AccidentalInnuendo where you come out on top]].
** Also, when Thor tries to retrieve Loki from the Quinjet, this line, in a very annoyed voice :
--> '''Stark''': Don't take my stuff!

** It's revealed that despite the fact that Howard has developed weapons of mass destruction in the past, he considers his greatest shame to be not finding Steve alive. [[spoiler: When Ivchenko hypnotizes Howard into hallucinating his greatest wish, it is to find Steve alive. Howard is absolutely thrilled at the idea of finding him and bringing him home, desperately trying to convince Peggy that it is real. He is only able to snap out of his hypnosis when Peggy manages to make him fully accept that Steve won't ever come home.]]
--> [[spoiler: '''Peggy:'''I know you loved him. I loved him, too. But this won't bring him back. [...] Steve is gone. We have to move on.]]

* The tension between Steve and Tony can easily edge into this -- [[spoiler: when Scarlet Witch makes Tony think that the rest of the team is dead, Steve is the one he goes to, and he's visibly horrified by a dying Steve telling him that he could have done more]]. Even lampshaded by Natasha, who quips "I thought you and Tony were still gazing into each other's eyes" after [[spoiler: Tony says goodbye to Steve as the former leaves the Avengers indefinitely.]]
-->'''Tony''': I'm gonna miss [Thor], and you're gonna miss me...
-->'''Steve''': I ''am'' gonna miss you, Tony.

-->'''Steve''': Sorry, Tony, he's my friend.
-->'''Tony''': So was I.

-->'''Tony''': Give me my Rhodey!

* Cap explaining to Wanda why he failed to properly defuse [[spoiler: Rumlow's]] suicide vest before it was detonated, causing the disaster that launched the Sokovia Accords:
-->'''Cap''': [[spoiler: Rumlow]] said "Bucky" and [[LoveMakesYouDumb all of a sudden]] [[SmittenTeenageGirl I was a sixteen-year old kid again in Brooklyn]].

--> '''Claire''': Take off your pants.
--> '''Jessica''': I usually like a little more romancing.
--> '''Claire''' (''smirking''): Don't we all?

* Mordo overall comes across like he has a huge crush on Strange. Stephen's the one that makes him doubt the Ancient One, a [[AmbiguousGender person]] he's shown to feel deep respect and trust for. And what's the final straw that drives him to have a silent (not so silent in a [[NeverTrustATrailer promo]] for the film) HeroicBSOD and pushes into his DespairEventHorizon? It's not [[spoiler: Dormammu's arrival, Wong's death and (presumably) several other student and civilian casualties, not even the Ancient One's death.]] It's Stephen's [[spoiler: apparent betrayal when he flies to meet Dormmamu in the Dark Dimension.]] In Kaecilius' words: "Even Strange has left you."
** It's worth noting that the Ancient One's death does affect Mordo to a degree where it looks like he's about to give up on the fight against Kaecilius [[spoiler: and Dormammu]]. When Strange returns to the NY Sanctum and tells Mordo that [[spoiler: the Ancient One died]], Mordo goes on a tangent about how [[spoiler: the Dark Dimension could've overtaken the Ancient One]] and about how Kaecilius and the zealots' FaceHeelTurn is her fault. What pulls Mordo out of it is Strange telling him that he alone cannot defeat them and that he needs Mordo. In a way, Mordo keeps on fighting and defends the Hong Kong Sanctum because of Strange. It could be argued that both the Ancient One and Stephen Strange are the most important people in Mordo's life and that [[spoiler: one of them dying]] and [[spoiler: the other betraying him]] is what finally breaks him and pushes him pass his DespairEventHorizon and [[spoiler: into his very own FaceHeelTurn]]. In addition, during the Hong Kong climax, Wong is right there and he is presumably a good friend of Mordo, which makes it both interesting and suspicious that Kaecilius would assume that [[spoiler: losing Strange to Dormammu]] would affect Mordo more than losing a friend and colleague he has known for far longer than Strange.
* The Ancient One does seem keen to [[ShipperOnDeck enforce]] [[ShipperWithAnAgenda their camaraderie]], considering she had to know she was going to train Strange at some point (since she saw herself [[spoiler: dying in her future visions]], with Strange next to her). She even makes sure that Strange knows they'll need [[ThePowerOfLove each other]] [[spoiler: before she dies.]]

--->'''Hiddleston''': In my head, Jeff Goldblum takes Loki out to Rodeo Drive and says, 'Pick the finest fabric you can find...'

* The play Loki stages reenacting his own (fake) death features Loki dying in Thor's arms . . . With a rainbow prominently embossed behind them.[[note]]A dumbed-down image of the Bifrost. [[/note]]

** Marvel plays with the scene where these lines were said in the "Civil War Cure" promotional video for ''Film/DoctorStrange''. Here, Strange is prescribing treatments for various injuries sustained in the film when the aforementioned scene comes up, prompting Strange to say that there's no cure for a broken heart.
