| 11 | Return to the main ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' meme page [[Memes/MarvelCinematicUniverse here]]. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | ''Please add entries in the following format:'' |
| 14 | * The meme. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The explanation behind the meme.[[/labelnote]] |
| 15 | ** Further mutations and successor memes, if any. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Much like the previous [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Avengers film]], ''Endgame'' is [[FountainOfMemes rife with memes]] to be had. |
| 18 | ---- |
| 19 | |
| 20 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 21 | |
| 22 | [[folder:General]] |
| 23 | * End Me [[labelnote:Explanation]]Taking out a few letters from the word "Endgame" nets you this phrase, which summed up how many fans felt when the trailer was released.[[/labelnote]] |
| 24 | * *fistbump* [[labelnote:Explanation]]In a fake trailer, there was a description of a shot of Rocket and Nebula fistbumping each other. This is often seen by the community to be really {{Narm}}y, and clashing with the tone of ''Infinity War'' and ''Endgame''. People reference the fistbump whenever the rematch is referenced, as a way to mock how hilariously off-mark some fan theories/"leaks" are.[[/labelnote]] |
| 25 | * "[[{{Tagline}} Avenge the Fallen]]." [[labelnote:Explanation]]The tagline of ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', associated with posters featuring the survivors and victims of Thanos's Snap. People have made edits of these posters, featuring dead characters from other series with the tagline. This page's image is but one example.[[/labelnote]] |
| 26 | * [=#DontSpoilTheEndgame=] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A hashtag warning fans not to spoil ''Avengers Endgame'' with memes and such, since fans made dust memes of ''Infinity War'' roughly a day after it was released, spoiling the events of the movie.[[/labelnote]] |
| 27 | ** Don't watch Endgame, it contains Endgame spoilers [[labelnote:Explanation]]Taking the above warning to its ultimate conclusion[[/labelnote]] |
| 28 | * Franchise/{{Batman}} dies in Endgame.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Poking fun at the taboos of posting spoilers, especially over who dies, a fake spoiler that was spammed all over the place was to say Batman from DC Comics died in Endgame. Doubly funny in that there is a Batman story titled Endgame where he does in fact die.[[/labelnote]] |
| 29 | * The rat was the real MVP of ''Endgame''. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The reason that Ant-Man was able to get home, and thereby be the SpannerInTheWorks for Thanos's grand plan, was because a random rat stepped on a button to let Ant-Man out of the Quantum Realm. Some jokingly call him the true hero of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was taken even a step further for some who started guessing various identities for it like [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Master Splinter]] or WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse.[[/labelnote]] |
| 30 | * Avengers: Endgame Spoilers without context. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Like with its [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar predecessor]], the internet phenomenon went viral once again with images related to plot events (among others, a Möbius strip, [[Film/TheBigLebowski the Dude]], Hawkeye and Black Widow joining Film/{{Suicide Squad|2016}}, Spider-Man vs Spider-Man, Build-a-Bear Workshop, stairs, a rat, paper football, tacos, a red glove, back end of an "american bikini", and Fortnite)[[/labelnote]] |
| 31 | ** Endgame Spoilers [[labelnote:Explanation]]Getting around spoilers by posting spoilers for other movies, often with MCU characters added. Like "[[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack Thanos is Tony Stark's father.]]"[[/labelnote]] |
| 32 | ** "[[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/391773607786840065/576105194291462171/image0.jpg When you go to see Endgame but the movie is full of Endgame Spoilers.]]" |
| 33 | * "Is that everyone?" "What, you wanted more?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A popular AnswerCut by fans to the AvengersAssemble moment when Doctor Strange asked Wong if that's everyone while the latter is exasperated that he wanted more during the climax of the film...while showing all the various Marvel heroes that couldn't make it to the MCU sitting at home wondering if they were missing anything due [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome to lack of communication lines to the Avengers and Guardians.]] Netflix Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D, Defenders, Inhumans, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider, Deadpool, Daredevil and other Marvel TV series that were not part of the MCU are all popular examples. After the announcement for the re-release, Strange representing fans asking "Is that everything?" while Wong representing Kevin Feige responding, "What? You wanted more?"[[/labelnote]] |
| 34 | * As was the case in ''Infinity War'', "''Endgame'' as Vines" videos [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qioLALewx78 started]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a29HHc9vLAE popping]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXSwURNVa1M up]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It7wOAqyvvI almost]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrOEpgI63as immediately]]. |
| 35 | * ''[[NoIndoorVoice "WE'RE THE AVENGERS OPEN UP!"]]''[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Avengers way of breaking into Thanos' farm, with some of its members bursting through his farm's roof, instantly drew connections to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08vk9g-jcsM a video exaggerating how the FBI breaks into houses, introducing their presence by shouting "FBI OPEN UP!"]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 36 | * "You murdered trillions!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]What Bruce yells at Thanos when he explains that the stones were only a source of temptation. It saw some use as a meme template, with purposes such as satirizing [[ThatOneAttack particularly large and powerful AOE attacks/incredibly skilled players in FPS games]], or people who equate activities such as eating meat with murder. |
| 37 | %% * [[Memes/SailorMoon Captain Marvel: "My work here is done." Avengers: "But you didn't do anything."]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fans have coopted [[https://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/779/511/777.png this meme]] from the anime of ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' to summarize the fact that Captain Marvel, who was heavily teased as being a major character in this movie, [[AdvertisedExtra does almost nothing]] and is only in about five minutes of the three-hour-long movie.[[/labelnote]] |
| 38 | * "I'm dead."[[labelnote:Explanation]]When Creator/ChadwickBoseman was asked by a reporter about what to expect going into Endgame, he refused to say anything other than this line. Fans have taken it into account as to how they felt after seeing ''Infinity War'', and other related events in the MCU. [[HarsherInHindsight After Boseman's passing, however...]][[/labelnote]] |
| 39 | * "Doctor Strange watched ''Endgame'' during ''Infinity War''. Thanos watched ''Infinity War'' during ''Endgame''."[[labelnote:Explanation]]The observation that Doctor Strange technically "watched" ''Endgame'' while he was looking through 14 million possible futures during ''Infinity War'' was followed up with the joke that Thanos technically "watched" ''Infinity War'' while going through Nebula's memories.[[/labelnote]] |
| 40 | * Spot the hidden superheroes from the future.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Comments saying that the various heroes from the future are offscreen or invisible in the original scenes the whole time spread like wildfire after the movie. For example, the intro for ''Guardians of the Galaxy'' were dominated by comments of War Machine and Nebula's talk about Peter Quill being an idiot.[[/labelnote]] |
| 41 | * Lt. Col. James Rhodes: Baby Killer.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Rhodey briefly suggests [[HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct killing Thanos as a baby]] while operating by ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' time-travel rules. Due to the [[CrossesTheLineTwice hilariously dark]] nature of the joke, the fans have naturally run with it.[[/labelnote]] |
| 42 | * "Activate Instant Kill" [[labelnote:explanation]]Spider-Man finally activating Instant Kill Mode... a screenshot which fans quickly adopted to express their anger.[[/labelnote]] |
| 43 | * "...ucker!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Since Spider-Man: Far From Home's description of the snapped's resurrection is them being UnPaused, fans believe this is Nick Fury's first word after he's resurrected. (His last line in ''Infinity War'' was [[CurseCutShort "Motherf..."]])[[/labelnote]] |
| 44 | * "Hey, Peter Parker. Got something for me? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Captain Marvel's brief exchange with Spider-Man during the final battle [[AccidentalInnuendo sounded uncomfortably flirty]] to many fans out of context. As a result, fans quickly jumped on the bandwagon with fanart and fanfics popping up depicting Carol [[MrsRobinson coming onto Peter]]. [[/labelnote]] |
| 45 | * Look closely during the march of unified forces of heroes towards Thanos's forces and you will see that Spider-Man seemingly web-swings from ''[[ArtisticLicensePhysics nothing]]''. This led to the jokes/theories that he swings from one of these objects off-screen: Giant-Man (who was nearby in the scene) extending his arm, Wakandans/Ravagers ship, Valkyrie's flying horse, or even Creator/StanLee extending his arm from {{heaven}}. |
| 46 | * The other 14,000,604 [[labelnote:Explanation]]In ''Infinity War'', Doctor Strange claimed to have seen 14,000,605 possible outcomes of the Avengers' battle with Thanos, all but one of which ended in the heroes' defeat. After the release of ''Endgame'', it became popular to come up with alternate endings, usually involving Thanos defeating the Avengers in a humorous way.[[/labelnote]] |
| 47 | * The sun shining on Thor and Loki again. [[labelnote:explanation]]While this line, "I assure you brother, the sun will shine on us again," originates from ''Infinity War'', this meme is mostly applied to ''Endgame'' in the form of fans desperately seeking any semblance of [[CueTheSun the sun shining]] so Thor and Loki can have a happy ending like the end of ''Ragnarok'' promised.[[/labelnote]] |
| 48 | * "The film will start, and then it will end." [[labelnote:Explanation]]When being interviewed with Paul Rudd for this movie, Jeremy Renner repeatedly kept saying [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scpEFgFKIZ4 variations of this line]] to avoid spoiling any plot details ala Mark Ruffalo or Tom Holland.[[/labelnote]] |
| 49 | * Fans noticed that the Red Skull just seems to disappear into the background while Hawkeye and Black Widow fight for the right of HeroicSacrifice (or logically, ''anybody'' who shows up for the Soul Stone). This led to fans wondering if the Skull is just standing off to the side, quietly and awkwardly watching or doing a PassThePopcorn since this is the only source of entertainment he's had in decades. |
| 50 | * "Open a portal on his LEFT." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sam's CallBack has led to fans having fun imagining him insisting to Doctor Strange that he open the first portal in a way that makes it possible for him to get his revenge on Steve for the RunningGag of ''The Winter Soldier.''[[/labelnote]] |
| 51 | ** On that note, "On your left." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Adopting the very first line of dialogue from ''Captain America: The Winter Soldier'', this is what fans would think the Avengers would have said to each movie they passed by on their way to the top of the box office list.[[/labelnote]] |
| 52 | * "What's Mantis going to do?" "[[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Kick names, take ass]]." [[labelnote:Explanation]]A common response to seeing non-ActionGirl Mantis at the forefront of the heroes charging at Thanos's forces.[[/labelnote]] |
| 53 | * The entire portal scene has since been used to represent various groups and factions banding together for a common goal, i.e. all of social media (including porn sites) assembling to storm Area 51. Most recently, the scene has been used to represent everyone who's against Sony taking back Spider-Man from the MCU after a financial deal between them and Marvel Studios went south. |
| 54 | * Peter Parker's moms. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The female heroes of the MCU assemble to help Captain Marvel get the Infinity Gauntlet to Ant-Man's van. While that's the true context of the scene, fans much prefer to think that all of these ladies are in full MamaBear mode after Peter Parker got caught in Thanos's barrage of aerial fire and want vengeance for the boy all of them had simultaneously adopted.[[/labelnote]] |
| 55 | * [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Giorno's theme.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Crossing over with a [[Memes/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind meme]] from ''Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo'', the scene from ''Endgame'' where Thanos realizes that Iron Man has the Infinity Stones has been edited many times to play the piano segment from "Il Vento D'oro", referencing how Giorno's theme plays whenever he turns the table on a villain he's up against. [[CastingGag For bonus points]], the Japanese dub in fact involves Creator/YuuichiNakamura (i.e. Bruno Bucciarati) playing Captain America.[[/labelnote]] |
| 56 | * "You're weak." "I'm ''you''." [[labelnote:Explanation]]2014!Nebula mocks 2023!Nebula. Used to express IHatePastMe or SelfDeprecation.[[/labelnote]] |
| 57 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0dapTNzPNo Avengers Assemble but at the pool]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A few guys at a swimming pool decided to have some fun after seeing ''Endgame'' and did their own AvengersAssemble by reversing footage of them jumping backwards into the pool after striking a pose. Since then, others have joined in on the fun with their own reversed videos.[[/labelnote]] |
| 58 | * Taking various famous film series and giving them the "Main on End" credits treatment is very popular among fans who wanted to give other film franchises they also liked the similar treatment. It's noted that due to accidental plot parallels and timing, the series that was given this treatment the most is ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' of all things, judging from the many examples on the internet, though ''Franchise/StarWars'', ''Film/HarryPotter'', and the Series/{{Arrowverse}} also have plenty of videos with this treatment as well due to either already having a GrandFinale or an Endgame-level event. |
| 59 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAxVsaMI3zw Literally everyone]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Taking SerialEscalation to its logical conclusion by adding more and more ''and more'' characters, be it other heroes joining the Avengers to the AvengersAssemble scene or other villains being part of Thanos' army during the DarkestHour, even characters who aren't even from the MCU or superheroes.[[/labelnote]] |
| 60 | * "... will defeat Thanos in ''Avengers: Endgame''". [[labelnote:Explanation]]Pre-release running joke listing various {{Memetic Badass}}es unrelated to the MCU as defeating Thanos, with [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Big Chungus]], [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Shaggy]], [[Franchise/StarWars Yoda]], Creator/ChuckNorris, and [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Gaston]] among many examples.[[/labelnote]] |
| 61 | * "You're about... five years too early." [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Ancient One's response to the time-travelling Hulk coming for Doctor Strange; used with a varying number of years as a response to HilariousInHindsight (or HarsherInHindsight), for instance posts about wearing plague doctor masks from 2015 - five years before the coronavirus.[[/labelnote]] |
| 62 | * The real reason Cap went back [[labelnote:Explanation]]This phrase and several variations of it are frequently commented in particularly attractive pictures of Peggy Carter's actress Creator/HayleyAtwell.[[/labelnote]] |
| 63 | * "Karen, is there a window open in here?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]An edit where [[Series/{{Daredevil|2015}} Matt Murdock]], who is blind, has this reaction to one of Doctor Strange's portals to the final battle to explain why he didn't join the fight.[[/labelnote]] |
| 64 | [[/folder]] |
| 65 | |
| 66 | [[folder:Thanos]] |
| 67 | |
| 68 | Despite having less screentime and focus than [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar the previous movie]], Thanos is just [[FountainOfMemes as quotable]] as before and just about every sentence he speaks have been used as captions: |
| 69 | |
| 70 | * The [=#Thanus=] theory. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The infamous [[{{Pun}} crack]]-theory that Thanos would be defeated by Ant-Man [[https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Arseplomancer crawling inside his ass and expanding]]. This meme ended up becoming so popular that several actors - including Creator/PaulRudd (Scott Lang) AND Creator/JoshBrolin (Thanos), ''the actors behind the characters in question'' - have made references to it. Even the Russo Brothers (lead directors) changed their Instagram profile picture to reference it. Their real answer? Thanos's insides would be too strong for an expanding Ant-Man to move. Additionally, many fans have joked about Doctor Strange's BrainBleach reaction to one of the possible futures if Scott Lang actually tried to do this.[[/labelnote]] |
| 71 | * Thanos is Franchise/{{Shrek}}.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Jokes about the cloth on Thanos's shirt resembling Shrek's became common after the first teaser. After the movie came out, some fans even pointed out how the scene of him [[VillainsOutShopping harvesting his crops and cooking breakfast]] resembled the [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/491/291/58a.jpg opening sequence]] from the first ''Shrek'' movie.[[/labelnote]] |
| 72 | * I am inevitable! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Thanos' recurring claim ends up being used for this to determine something that will happen (Such as ''Endgame'''s box office gross doing over $1B in its opening week, or managing to reach $2 Billion in the box office, or Endgame overtaking Titanic in box office, or Endgame ''finally overtaking Avatar'' after a nail-biting run), all of which actually happened.[[/labelnote]] |
| 73 | ** And I... am... Iron Man [[labelnote:Explanation]]Stark's PreMortemOneLiner combined with the above made a good one-up bait [[/labelnote]] |
| 74 | *** I am Groot! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Combine them with the tree and all three of them have taken off running. Variations abound![[/labelnote]] |
| 75 | * I don't even know who you are. [[labelnote:Explanation]] 2014 Thanos's FishOutOfTemporalWater moment while confronting Wanda (who still remembers 2018 Thanos killing Vision) has spawned a new type of memes mocking the UnknownRival trope as well, as well as comparing PaperThinDisguise. [[/labelnote]] |
| 76 | ** You will.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Wanda's counter remark before unloading on 2014 Thanos with everything she's got, playing further into the UnknownRival trope.[[/labelnote]] |
| 77 | * Thanos copter[[labelnote:Explanation]]Thanks to ''Infinity War'' and ''Endgame'' elevating Thanos back into mainstream popularity. Fans dug up and found a rather hilarious panel of Thanos using a helicopter in ''Spidey Super Stories #39'', a 1979 comic. Needless to say when Thanos' [[DoubleWeapon double-bladed sword]] was revealed, fans were more than happy to compare it to helicopter blades. Finally the coveted Thanos Copter was shown in ''Series/Loki2021''.[[/labelnote]] |
| 78 | * He was just eating breakfast! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Right before the Avengers assault Thanos' farm, he's seen making soup. This has lead to many memes, particularly from the "Thanos did nothing wrong" group, depicting Thanos as an innocent bystander who was wrongfully assaulted.[[/labelnote]] |
| 79 | ** "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Disabled Man of Color Executed in Own Home by Authorities while Eating Breakfast]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]] Going along with the above "breakfast defense", some people have used mock headlines similar to the above to satirize the crowd who believes 2018 Thanos [[DracoInLeatherPants was an innocent victim who did nothing to deserve what]] [[GoodIsNotNice the Avengers did to him.]][[/labelnote]] |
| 80 | * Thanos has no blood. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The mostly BloodlessCarnage of Thanos being beheaded was joked about by fans, with some disappointed at the small amount of AlienBlood LudicrousGibs. Many fans joked that his blood should have also been purple.[[/labelnote]] |
| 81 | * "I used the stones to destroy the stones." [[labelnote:Explanation]] Thanos explains how all of the Infinity Stones are gone when the Avengers confront him. Used as a reaction when something is [[HoistByHisOwnPetard turned against itself]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 82 | ** "Gone. Reduced to atoms." [[labelnote:Explanation]] In the same scene, saying where the Infinity Stones have gone. Became a response to when something inexplicably disappears.[[/labelnote]] |
| 83 | * "Impossible." [[labelnote:Explanation]] Self-explanatory but the context is that this meme originally started off as an ironic example that any quote from Thanos no matter how basic or unimportant could be turned memetic, only to balloon and prove its own point.[[/labelnote]] |
| 84 | * "You could not live with your own failure. And where did that bring you? Back to me." [[labelnote:Explanation]] Originally spoken by 2014 Thanos to Thor, Captain America and Iron Man [[VillainHasAPoint regarding their failure to move on]] and confront Thanos again, it has been a common reaction to reposts as well as retrying an earlier attempt, more commonly Thanos saying it to Feige and Co when they were unable to beat Avatar in their first try, and rereleased it[[/labelnote]] |
| 85 | * "RAIN FIRE!" "But sire, our troops!" "JUST '''''DO IT'''''!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]With Wanda Maximoff levitating Thanos into the air and tearing him apart from the inside out, he bellows a command to unload ''Sanctuary II'''s artillery on the battlefield in hopes that ''something'' will hit Wanda, to Corvus Glaive's objection. Thanos's response to Corvus's questioning is often replaced with the likes of Creator/ShiaLaBeouf, Emperor Palpatine, or Nike, while Corvus's line is often used in the context of overusing memes or masturbation.[[/labelnote]] |
| 86 | * "I will shred this universe down to its last atom." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Thanos' new plan after realizing his 'wipe out half of life so that the other half thrives' plan boils down to InsaneTrollLogic. Used as a common reaction to cringe articles as well as instances where humans make some really stupid moves, or in more serious examples, where HumansAreTheRealMonsters.[[/labelnote]] |
| 87 | * Hippopothanos.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A meme with [[SurrealHumor Thanos's head photoshopped onto a hippo.]] Some have joked that the ''"Into the Spider-Verse"'' universe of Spider-Ham, where all superheroes are FunnyAnimals, will have Hippopothanos [[AngryAngryHippos as a main villain]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 88 | * “Thanos travelled between universes to take Sentinel Prime’s sword.”[[labelnote:Explanation]]A joke by members of the ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' fandom noting the similarities between Thanos’s double bladed sword and Sentinel Prime’s own in ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon''[[/labelnote]] |
| 89 | * "Perhaps I treated you too harshly." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Thanos's final words towards Nebula when she tells the other Avengers he isn't lying about the Stones. It's since become a response when something that was disliked is viewed [[VindicatedByHistory more favorably in retrospect]] than before or gets overshadowed by something much worse.[[/labelnote]] |
| 90 | * What was he cooking?[[labelnote:Explanation]]A [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/I1TkJnGB76U/maxresdefault.jpg YouTube thumbnail]] for a video trying to figure out what Thanos was cooking before his death. The esoteric nature of the question being posed made the thumbnail a popular subject for parodies, often jokingly appending the question to other works. Both the original thumbnail and derivatives of it also became popular reaction images for when someone hypes something up (or posts something rather confusing). The meme eventually got so prominent that "cooking" itself became a slang term for online content creation.[[/labelnote]] |
| 91 | [[/folder]] |
| 92 | |
| 93 | [[folder:Captain America]] |
| 94 | * [[SensualSpandex America's ass]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]A meme stemming from when Tony points out Cap's rear being under-emphasized by his 2012 uniform. The nickname, however, came from Scott Lang / Ant-Man. [[/labelnote]] |
| 95 | * [[NextTierPowerUp God]] [[OnlyTheChosenMayWield of]] [[EleventhHourSuperpower America]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Cap is proven worthy of wielding Mjölnir (which Thor brought forward from the past), holding it in the final battle against Thanos, and since Thor is the "God of Thunder", it just picked up from there.[[/labelnote]] |
| 96 | * [[https://i.imgur.com/Vtak57U.jpg This set photo]] of Captain America helping to clean the mess in the aftermath of ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' has made rounds around the internet. |
| 97 | * "Some people X... but not us. Not us..." [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the "Big Game" TV spot for ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', Captain America says this short line, which fans have gleefully eaten up.[[/labelnote]] |
| 98 | ** Jumping off of that: "Some people move on, bananas."[[labelnote:Explanation]] Intentionally mishearing Steve's line as such.[[/labelnote]] |
| 99 | * Replacing 2012 Cap with some of Creator/ChrisEvans' [[Film/FantasticFour2005 other]] [[Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld roles]] when 2023 Cap encounters him. |
| 100 | * "You gotta be [[PrecisionFStrike shitting]] me."[[labelnote:Explanation]] 2023 Cap's reaction when being confronted by 2012 Cap. The scene has also being used to represent finding yourself at fault. [[/labelnote]] |
| 101 | * Joking that Steve using profanity in the movie is a sign of character growth after his "Language!" outburst in ''Age of Ultron''. |
| 102 | * "Welcome, Steven. Son of... [[Film/ThorRagnarok a bitch! You're still alive]]?!" [[labelnote:explanation]]Fans noted that to return the Soul Stone, Cap would have to travel to Vormir and reunite with the Red Skull. This joke reaction is a popular one.[[/labelnote]] |
| 103 | * "[[Film/TheAvengers2012 That's my secret]], Thor. I'm ''always'' worthy." [[labelnote:Explanation]]In ''The Avengers'', Bruce tells Cap, "That's my secret, Cap. I'm always angry." in regards to how he apparently controls his transformation into Hulk. In ''Age of Ultron'', Cap was seemingly unable to wield Mjölnir, causing fans to theorize that he was just pretending because he's too humble and didn't want to upstage Thor. As of this movie, and as per the WordOfGod, [[IKnewIt the fan theory is proven correct]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 104 | * Time-travelling Steve [[labelnote:Explanation]]A caption of Cap's face expressing a reaction, pointing out historical events that [[HilariousInHindsight did not]] [[HarsherInHindsight age well]], often during conversations with his wife Peggy Carter. For instance, Cap smirking when Peggy asks him why he invested their life savings in a no-name company called "Microsoft" or asking why he is crying when asking if he wants to meet Howard's newborn son.[[/labelnote]] |
| 105 | * "No, I don't think I will." [[labelnote:Explanation]] This is old Steve's response when Sam tries to ask him about his marriage but it gets used in other contexts both as pop culture references or to every day events. Like someone trying to talk Creator/GeorgeLucas out of creating [=Jar-Jar=] Binks for the former or someone in real life asking you for your Website/{{Reddit}} handle. It can also be used in a similar manner to the Steve time traveling meme like Steve waking up the morning of the JFK assassination or 9/11 and choosing not to stop it or Hitler being told to not invade Poland. It's also used as a reference to this movie, like with Clint's reaction when his wife and kids ask him to tell them what he did in the five years they were gone, or even Thanos being asked to reconsider his plan to something more sustainable and beneficial. [[/labelnote]] |
| 106 | * "You new here?" "Not exactly." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Steve's response to a [=S.H.I.E.L.D.=] personnel in 1970 noticing that he's not a familiar face. It gets used mostly in terms of LoopholeAbuse especially in video games where you restart and know exactly what to do or other scenarios such as reapplying for another free trial with a new email address.[[/labelnote]] |
| 107 | * "'''[[AvengersAssemble AVEN]][[BattleCry GERS!...]]''' [[TranquilFury Asse]][[PreAssKickingOneLiner mble.]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Jokes about how Steve says "Avengers" very loud and clear but practically whispers "Assemble" under his breath. Cue other heroes in the back going "What did he say?", "Are we supposed to attack?" etc and noticing everyone in the front going for it and [[SureLetsGoWithThat deciding that they should just also attack]] despite not knowing what he said. Becomes HilariousInHindsight when Creator/TomHolland [[https://youtu.be/DpHNfh-QIH4 revealed that actually happened]] and he charged before everyone else and had to do another take. [[/labelnote]] |
| 108 | * Captain America turned into UsefulNotes/JoeBiden. [[labelnote:Explanation]]More than a few viewers see a resemblance between the aged-up Steve Rogers and the 46th President of the United States.[[/labelnote]] |
| 109 | * Hail Hydra - Endgame version[[labelnote:Explanation 1]]Cap gets into an elevator with several S.T.R.I.K.E team members and defuses the situation to get the scepter by telling Japser Sitwell "Hail HYDRA". Memes abound again. One meme came back with [[https://9gag.com/gag/a9KwNbj Sitwell saying "Avengers Assemble"]] and the agents attacking cap (from ''Winter Soldier'').[[/labelnote]] [[labelnote: Explanation 2]] Also mutated into Elevator Fight Dad Joke, as another variation of the above meme popped with Captain America doing the Dad Joke "I saw my dog walk over sandpaper / he said rough rough" and the agents [[DisproportionateRetribution beating him up due to the bad pun]]. Subsequent memes evolved into Captain America saying common jokes and {{Pun}}s as the NotSoStoic agents fight with him again.[[/labelnote]] |

| 116 | * People begging NASA to save Tony Stark. [[labelnote:Explanation]] When the teaser trailer first came out and it shows Tony Stark and Nebula stranded on the Guardians' ship somewhere in space, the internet exploded with people begging NASA to do everything they can to save Tony Stark and bring him home. [[https://www.thejakartapost.com/life/2018/12/12/nasa-responds-to-avengers-fans-requests-to-save-tony-stark.html Even the people at NASA themselves]] got in on it. [[/labelnote]] |
| 117 | * I love you 3000. [[labelnote:Explanation]] How he and his daughter 'Morgan' say I love you to each other. Used to say goodbye to the current Avengers after the movie ended, and later for showing one's love of something in the Marvel Universe.[[/labelnote]] |
| 118 | ** Fuck you 3000. [[labelnote:Explanation]] After the news broke that Sony would be potentially jettisoning Spider-Man from the MCU due to a financing dispute after ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'' was released, fans were quick to make edits of the scene where Tony does his snap, often inserting a middle finger that's directed at Sony and/or Marvel for causing Spidey's potential departure from the MCU.[[/labelnote]] |
| 119 | * Tony Stuck[[labelnote:Explanation]]Jokes about Tony being stuck on the ''Benatar'' came up as soon as the first trailer came out.[[/labelnote]] |
| 120 | * Irondad kiss[[labelnote:Explanation]]An unused take for Iron Man's reunion with Spider-Man has Tony giving Peter an affectionate kiss on the cheek as well as the hug.

| 121 | * Good Luck To All Starks this Weekend![[labelnote:Explanation]]Fans of ''Series/GameOfThrones'' and Avengers noticed that "The Battle of Winterfell" and ''Endgame'' came out the same weekend. Cue jokes about which Stark will survive their climactic battle[[/labelnote]] |
| 122 | * "We won, Mr. Stark." [[labelnote:Explantion]]Peter says this to a dying Tony after the Battle of Earth. Fans have also taken this line in reference to how ''Endgame'' finally overtook ''Film/{{Avatar}}'' at the box office, and after Disney and Sony patched things up to allow Spider-Man to return to the MCU.[[/labelnote]] |
| 123 | ** "You can rest now." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Pepper comforting Tony in his final moments can also be attributed to many sitations, such as the aforementioned defeat of ''Avatar'' by ''Endgame'' [[/labelnote]] |
| 124 | * "I, uh... ''I lost the kid''." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sony and Disney's brief split, temporarily removing Spider-Man from the MCU, sparked outrage and grief among fans. Tony saying this to Cap now has Tony being replaced with Marvel Studios and Cap being replaced with fans.[[/labelnote]] |
| 125 | * [[https://i.redd.it/937dwwt972e31.jpg Tony pointing at a briefcase]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A labeling meme where the briefcase is something Tony is smugly showing off to Steve Rogers. [[https://i.redd.it/2j2dqzb47ud31.jpg For instance.]][[/labelnote]] |

| 128 | [[folder: Black Widow]] |
| 129 | * Chose a bad time go back to her natural [[RedShirt red hair]]. |
| 130 | * Black Widow took fall damage.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The most common way for a VideoGame [[PlayerCharacter hero]] to die is to fall from a great height --kinda like Black Widow did, except not on purpose.[[/labelnote]] |
| 131 | * See you in a minute[[labelnote:Explanation]]For a statement that's said in good faith, but proves to be patently {{false|Reassurance}}.[[/labelnote]] |
| 132 | * [[GallowsHumor At least Natasha understands]] [[LiteralMetaphor the gravity of her situation]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]For those who get sad for another female character's sacrifice to get the Soul Stone, this is their consolation that unlike Gamora who was cruelly sacrificed against her will, Natasha willingly sacrifices herself and goes out with a smile.[[/labelnote]] |
| 133 | [[/folder]] |
| 134 | |
| 135 | [[folder: Hawkeye / Ronin]] |
| 136 | * Mohawkeye [[labelnote:Explanation]]Making fun of Hawkeye's mohawk as Ronin. Others took the punny name to mean "more Hawkeye", referencing the clamor to give Renner's character more screen time.[[/labelnote]] |
| 137 | * Hawkeye spent a little to much time playing [[VideoGame/NinjaGaiden Ninja Gaiden]]. |
| 138 | * Hawkeye became a weeb. [[labelnote:Explanation]] Hawkeye's fight with one of the Yakuza bosses was spelt with most of anime sword movements, as well as fans jokingly stating he learned Japanese from Anime (while of course the true reason is that Hawkeye spent most of his pre-retirement years as a trained assassin and a spy).[[/labelnote]] |
| 139 | * "Don't do that. [[HopeIsScary Don't give me hope]]." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Clint being told by Natasha that there's a way to undo the Snap, resulting in this line which fans use to express their wary reactions to possible good news.[[/labelnote]] |
| 140 | * When you get called the worst Avenger for 6 years and they want you back [[labelnote:Explanation]]Hawkeye's status as a MemeticLoser got turned on his head after fans noted that, in the one ''Avengers'' movie he wasn't in, ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' (as he was at home on house arrest), the Avengers actually ''lost'' the battle. This led to people ([[https://youtu.be/vEUlnLOQG8k?t=136 including]] Creator/JeremyRenner himself) to argue that had he been in ''Infinity War'', Thanos never would have won.[[/labelnote]] |
| 141 | [[/folder]] |

| 143 | [[folder: Thor]] |
| 144 | * ''Staring!'' [[Film/TheBigLebowski Jeff Lebowski]] [[BrokenHero playing]] [[Series/MarriedWithChildren Al Bundy]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Thor gets called Lebowski by Tony Stark, due to his appearance. There is also a scene of him sitting sulked in a chair just like Al did in his sitcom.[[/labelnote]] |
| 145 | * ''[[{{Pun}} Thortnite]]'' [[labelnote:Explanation]] An obvious pun on the fact that Thor has apparently spent the vast majority of the five years since the snapture...[[HowTheMightyHaveFallen drinking beer and playing]] ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'' with Korg and Miek. Becomes [[HilariousInHindsight even funnier]] when Thor would eventually get version of himself as a skin in the game (along with a good chunk of the original Avengers).[[/labelnote]] |
| 146 | * [=Noobmaster69=] [[labelnote:Explanation]] Korg complains about being insulted by a ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'' player with [[LOL69 this name]], to which Thor [[InternetJerk promptly responds by]] taking the headphones and threatening the child with [[DisproportionateRetribution flying over to the child's house, ripping off his arms and]] [[AssShove shoving them up his ass.]] The internet ''instantly'' made Noobmaster into a MemeticBadass on the same level as [[SpannerInTheWorks the rat that saved Ant-Man]], saying that he was the one who called the Avengers' armies together for the final battle, or joking that the true identity of "Noobmaster's" player was actually someone like Thanos, Doctor Doom, Howard the Duck, Loki having faked his death (again) or the Red Skull/ Stonekeeper playing ''Fortnite'' to pass the time while being [[TheAloner stuck on Vormir alone for all eternity.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db1QEI712S0 His identity was eventually found out]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 147 | * I now have the body of a god./Thanks to ''Endgame'', I now have the body of a god.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A joke referring to Thor's extreme change in appearance during the time skip and the common expression "body of a god" meaning... not what Thor has for most of the movie.[[/labelnote]] |
| 148 | * Instant Braiding.[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the scene right before he confronts Thanos, Thor's hair and beard goes from unkempt to braided in between shots. This prompted fans to joke that braiding is one of Mjonir's/Stormbreaker's powers or that Thor's hair itself has some inherent ability to braid itself in a matter of seconds.[[/labelnote]] |
| 149 | * "I'm still worthy!" [[labelnote:explanation]]Thor's rejoicing over being able to still summon Mjolnir has been adopted to refer to whenever someone finds out they StillGotIt.[[/labelnote]] |
| 150 | * "You have the little one." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Thor insisting that he keeps Stormbreaker while Cap keeps the much smaller Mjolnir.[[/labelnote]] |
| 151 | * "Are you ''crying?''" "No!...''Yes!''" |
| 152 | * [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/029/967/cover3.png Impressed Thor]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]Thor's reaction after Hulk puts the Stark gauntlet on and withstands its energy long enough to reverse the snap[[/labelnote]] |
| 153 | * "Is he asleep?" "Nah. Pretty sure he's dead."[[labelnote:Explanation]] Thor's complete lack of reaction to Steve asking him about what he knows about the Aether.[[/labelnote]] |
| 154 | * I like this one [[labelnote:Explanation]]The reaction of Thor to Carol's stoic reaction and smirk and Thor saying this has been paired up with various alternate takes such as Thor giving two choices and Carol choosing to TakeAThirdOption, which normally resulted in this quote.[[/labelnote]] |
| 155 | * "Hold my beer! ...No wait, give it back!"[[labelnote:Explanation]] [[BeamMeUpScotty While not an actual line Thor says]], many fans tend to use variations of this joke to poke fun at Thor's dependence on alcohol during the events of the film.[[/labelnote]] |
| 156 | [[/folder]] |
| 157 | |
| 158 | [[folder: Ant-Man]] |
| 159 | * The #Thanus theory. [[labelnote:Explanation]]As Ant-Man is the other half of the Thanus theory, which jokingly imagines Ant-Man defeating Thanos by either crawling up in his ass and expanding or becoming Giant-Man and shoving him inside ''his'' ass, while Scott's reaction tends to be ThisIsGonnaSuck.[[/labelnote]] |
| 160 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG2esWiRe0s Myth Busted]] |
| 161 | * Scott being locked out of the garage. [[labelnote:Explanation]] Scott's moment of arriving at the Avengers facility and demanding entry has been likened to Scott requesting for his role in Endgame where he was PutOnABus for Infinity War.[[/labelnote]] |
| 162 | * Ant-Man is [[Film/{{Brightburn}} Brandon Breyer]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]] When Scott is turned into a teenager as part of time-traveling shenanigans, he's [[TimeShiftedActor played by]] Jackson Dunn, who later played Brandon Breyer in the film ''Film/{{Brightburn}}'', a film about a kid, Breyer, with an origin story similar to Franchise/{{Superman}} (rocket ship crash-lands near a couple's farm, a baby boy is found on board, the couple takes him in as their own and raise him, boy turns out to have extraordinary superpowers), except that [[BewareTheSuperman he uses his powers for evil]]. Cue several ''Brightburn'' jokes.[[/labelnote]] |
| 163 | * Ant-Man, the real Savior.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A statement that made the rounds after fans noted that, while Thor killed Thanos on Titan and Iron Man snapped Thanos from existence at the end of the film, Ant-Man was the one who came up with the entire plan of the Time Heist, and he was responsible for rallying everyone around in the first place.[[/labelnote]] |
| 164 | * So ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' is a bunch of bullshit? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fans like to exaggerate Scott's realization that the rules of time travel of ''Back to the Future'' don't apply to the time travel they operate with in this film in full blown betrayal angst.[[/labelnote]] |
| 165 | * What the hell happened here? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Scott asks this to a kid passing by when he emerges from the Quantum Tunnel 5 years after the Snap with no idea what's going on. Became a reaction to a person discovering a scene of chaos, or to any (written sentence mentioning a) real life NoodleIncident.[[/labelnote]] |
| 166 | [[/folder]] |
| 167 | |
| 168 | [[folder: Hulk]] |
| 169 | * "My rematch is coming real soon, I can feel it!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A fake trailer description, in which the Hulk trains ''Film/{{Rocky}}''-style to fight Thanos, ended with the Green Goliath saying this {{Narm}}-tacular line, in Bruce Banner's voice. It's often used as a joke referencing the possibility of Hulk fighting Thanos again, or to express general excitement toward seeing Hulk in the movie after he was subject to TheWorfEffect in ''Infinity War''. This experienced a [[HilariousInHindsight surge in popularity]] when the Hulk really did spend the entire movie speaking eloquently in Banner's voice. Amusingly, Hulk and Thanos do ''not'' have a rematch, although Banner does use the Hulkbuster to hold Thanos down in the prologue.[[/labelnote]] |
| 170 | * Hulk dabs[[labelnote:Explanation]]Self-explanatory; done when a group of kids ask him for his autograph. Became notable due to [[TotallyRadical the sheer absurdity]] of [[ARareSentence the Hulk dabbing]], often being used as a spoiled scene because it's not important plot-wise and sounds like a made-up joke spoiler.[[/labelnote]] |
| 171 | * Using [=TVTropes=] without night vision (Hulk) vs using [=TVTropes=] with night vision (Professor Hulk)[[labelnote:Explantation]]With the reveal of Professor Hulk, many began [[https://twitter.com/nojuiceben_/status/1123442050005983234?s=21 posting images of Old Hulk and Professor Hulk]] using captions like the example given.[[/labelnote]] |
| 172 | * So many stairs!![[labelnote:Explanation]]One gag in the movie features the Hulk from 2012 failing to change back into Bruce after defeating Loki. As such, while the other Avengers take the elevator, Tony has the Hulk take the stairs from the penthouse of Stark Tower to the lobby. The [[RefugeInAudacity sheer absurdity]] of something as banal as a stairwell aggravating the Hulk caught on in the fandom. One common variation came about once the second trailer for ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'' was released. One included bit sees Peter Parker listing adult superheroes better suited to the current crisis, all of whom are {{Hand Wave}}d away. In the comments, people jokingly include other hand waves - nine times out of ten, the Hulk can’t come because he’s either taking the stairs or [[BrickJoke dabbing]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 173 | * Angry Hulk vs Civil Hulk. [[labelnote:Explanation]] As Bruce and Hulk merged as one, Hulk mellowed out to become the source of power while allowing Bruce to keep his sanity, enabling Bruce to 'be the best of both worlds', according to him. This spawned a meme series where Hulk before maturity is compared to Hulk after maturity, being a (false) poster for BadassDecay, or CharacterDevelopment. [[/labelnote]] |
| 174 | * "TIME TRAVEL!" [[labelnote:Explanation]] Bruce loudly shouting this quote getting Scott back to his proper age. People have used the quote to describe mundane and/or underwhelming things such as going to sleep for 8 hours.[[/labelnote]] |
| 175 | ** "I see this as an absolute win!" [[labelnote:Explanation]] Coming off of the above meme, Banner attempts to downplay the comical failure in his attempt to calibrate the Quantum Tunnel to go through time; only succeeding in repeatedly age-shifting Scott. Often used as a reaction image.[[/labelnote]] |
| 176 | * Hulk giving Scott a taco. [[labelnote:Explanation]] Using pictures of Hulk giving Scott his taco, after the force from Rocket and Nebula landing the Benatar knocked Scott’s taco’s filling out, and altering the context by adding different names to Hulk, Scott, and the taco.[[/labelnote]] |
| 177 | * "These are confusing times." [[labelnote:Explanation]] A quote during Professor Hulk's introduction that can be used to as a reaction image to current events or expression of how a franchise/story has changed over time.[[/labelnote]] |
| 178 | * If you squeeze the Hulk's nipples hard enough they glow green. [[labelnote:Explanation]] Actually a shot of the Ancient One giving Hulk the Time Stone. Unfortunately, the angle of the shot and the Stone's color gives it the appearance that she's pinching the jade giant's nipple.[[/labelnote]] |
| 179 | * "It's like I was made for this." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Hulk musing on the coincidence that he gained his powers from gamma radiation and the Infinity Stones also emit the same type of energy before putting it on to reverse the Snap.[[/labelnote]] |
| 180 | ** Gauntlet has to extend because it wasn't made for him.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Fans like to make fun of the fact that, the Gauntlet was decidedly not made for the Hulk, in the literal sense.[[/labelnote]] |
| 181 | * Hulk at Lunch [[labelnote:Explanation]]The fact that Professor Hulk is introduced with him talking over a lunch meet-up has been prime for fan edits inserting him into other food-based gatherings, including the famous dinner scene from ''WesternAnimation/Shrek2''.[[/labelnote]] |
