"No hard feelings Point Break, you've got a mean swing." 

The movie: Avengers Assemble (2012)

Who says it? Tony Stark

The setup: During one of the Avengers' first rendezvous, tempers flare and the conversation becomes rather heated. Luckily, Stark doesn't hold grudges, and offers Thor (Chris Hemsworth) this quasi-apology.

Why its Marvel-lous: Stark's movie references are always so spot-on. And boy, can he deliver a brilliant back-handed compliments.

"There's only one God, ma'am, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that." 

The movie: Avengers Assemble (2012)

Who says it? Captain America

The setup: After Thor and Iron Man launch from the back of the Quinjet in pursuit of Loki, Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) turns to a noticeably shaken Captain America (Chris Evans) and tells him to settle down - "I'd sit this one out, Cap. These guys come from legend. They're basically gods." To which he responds...

Why its Marvel-lous: Oh, sweet Cap. Even after he's given definitive proof of at least TWO Asgardian gods, he still insists there is but one.

"I told you, I don't want to join your super-secret boy band." 

The movie: Iron Man 2 (2010)

Who says it? Tony Stark

The setup: Nick Fury attempts to enlist Stark for his upcoming Avengers initiative. But the cocky hero's not having any of it.

Why its Marvel-lous: Who's he kidding? Stark would love to join Fury's boy band. He just wont admit it. And now we're picturing Stark, Cap, Hulk, and Thor in some sort of barbershop quartet.

"Drop your socks and grab your crocs, we're about to get wet on this ride." 

The movie: Iron Man 2 (2010)

Who says it? Tony Stark

The setup: After everything kicks off at Stark Expo, Stark and Rhodey lure Vanko's drones away from the crowded area, guiding the inevitable fight into what appears to be... a Japanese water garden.

Why its Marvel-lous: It's got half-rhymes, a footwear reference/innuendo, and some sort of vague log flume nod... what's not to love?

"That's for when things get really hardcore... or if you wanna blow up moons." 

The movie: Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

Who says it? Rocket Raccoon

The setup: The Guardians are safely nestled on the Milano, which is the perfect time for Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper) to start dismantling the ship to make bombs. When Quill takes an interest in one in particular, the pint-sized prankster lets this one rip...

Why its Marvel-lous: Sums up Rocket's M.O. nicely. After all, it's easy to forget that his stature doesnt prevent him from wreaking havoc everywhere he goes.

"Well, dying is certainly better than having to live an entire life as a moronic shitbag who thinks 'Taserface' is a cool name." 

The movie: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

Who says it? Rocket Raccoon

The setup: As per usual, Rocket's in a bit of a scrape, and the Ravagers are out to kill him and Yondu. Taserface, Yondu's former lieutenant, holds a knife to Rocket's throat after having his name being made fun of and fires off this threat to the pint-sized Guardian: "New plan! We're killing you first!" You can't trust Rocket to stay quiet though...

Why it's Marvel-lous: This is the nail in the coffin of a long-running insult that Rocket's delivered slowly while being held prisoner. It works as a final middle finger to Taserface. Plus, pretty much the way Rocket says everything is hilarious. 

"You mewling quim!" 

The movie: Avengers Assemble (2012)

Who says it? Loki

The setup: With Loki locked up on the Helicarrier, Romanoff decides its time to interrogate the Asgardian arse. He thinks he's got the upper hand, and delivers this old-school, rather profane insult to the Black Widow to conclude his tirade.

Why its Marvel-lous: It's amazing that the galaxy's biggest trickster was in fact tricked himself. Also, where did Loki learn such crass language?

"As always sir, a great pleasure watching you work." 

The movie: Iron Man 3 (2013)

Who says it? JARVIS

The setup: Tony's desire to better his Iron Man armor finds him working on Mark 42. As the separate pieces fly across the room to attach themselves to his body, one final stray portion of the armor zooms in and knocks him out. Thankfully, his faithful A.I. JARVIS (Paul Bettany) is on hand to bring him back down to Earth.

Why its Marvel-lous: JARVIS should win an award for most sarcastic A.I.

"Well now I'm standing. Happy? We're all standing now. Bunch of jackasses, standing in a circle." 

The movie: Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

Who says it? Rocket Raccoon

The setup: Each of the Guardians agree to help Quill enact his master plan. In turn, they rise from their seats to show their solidarity, until there's only Raccoon left sat on his box.

Why its Marvel-lous: This is an awesome send-up of every jump-to-action movie montage.

"I'm sorry, did I step on your moment?" 

The movie: Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

Who says it? Black Widow

The setup: Hydra is exposed and Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford) is about to have his ass handed to him by Romanoff, who finally reveals herself while he's mid-rant.

Why its Marvel-lous: Romanoff very nearly steals the movie and undoubtedly steals our hearts with this cool, calm line.
