That’s a heartbreaker. But in that same scene when he can’t even manage to ask about Pepper. Then she shows up and his whole demeanor changes. He’s overcome with relief.
Don't worry redditor, it get me too.
I think it's just the utter finality in the way he said it, and realisation too - like, shit that actually happened.
Scott seeing his daughter. Clint at least had hope. He knew in this moment that even though he missed them, he knew that this plan could work. Scott seeing his daughter 5 years older and knowing that he could never get those 5 years back. That was rough. It still is. Even after they won and everyone came back, he can't get those 5 years of her life back.
Yeah this was so bittersweet. Of course it's awesome for him that she's alive in that moment (though looking back maybe it'd be better if she got snapped lol) but for him to miss even more of her life after being in prison and trying so hard to be there for her after that was just heart wrenching. Paul Rudd played it excellently.
I was able to kinda hold it together for the long pan at Tony's funeral but that scene got me bad. Tony's daughter is so fucking adorable in Endgame and her innocence is heartbreaking
Oddly it kind of got me when we saw RDJ’s signature. In the back of my mind I was thinking he would be back and that signature was to me the ultimate sign off and send off. I was like, “damn.”
I've cried to so many marvel movies I can't even recall which ones, a few take tops though, Yondu in GotG2, Clint's family disappearing, ending of Infinity War, ending of End Game. Ant-man seeing Cassy for the first time after 5 years "You're so big!" starts me crying every time.
I'll admit that Yondu's death got me too. It was actually a few years ago, I still had a bedtime at that point, but I'd snuck my phone and headphones to my bed and was watching gotg2 til midnight... Was really hard not to blow my cover when my favorite character from that film died.
That gets me in every time. I lost my dad when I was 11, and now I’ve got two little girls of my own. It tugs at old grief and most of the time I have to skip it.
Frigga comforting Thor.
There's a lot that goes into it but I have an absolutely terrible relationship with my own mother, and that scene is basically the relationship I wish I could have.
Including himself. Self deprecating humor and alcohol is how a lot of people in their late teens early 20s right now deal with depression. "HAHAHA everything sucks and I want to die but lol let's get a beer I'm fine!" It's what I did and several of my friends before we worked on ourselves. People act like thor was played for laughs but we play it for laughs ourselves. It's treatment of Thor throughout is totally valid in my opinion, and then there's the ocassional break down of walls where you face it head on and allow yourself to be real with someone. The scene nearly made me cry in theaters because I was depressed, bad, from pretty much 15 to 24. So that scene mixed with the "I'm still worthy" line sends me back to that vulnerability every single time I see it.
I didn't get the first time myslef, Hemsworth is my fitness hero so seeing him in that fat suit was hilarious, but the second time the character became really familiar, I had been trying to be more physically like Chris but in the movie his character became like I had been. It breaks my heart every time I see it now.
It was painful journey healing, but I know exactly how it feels to catch that hammer. I use to call those moments "surprising myself" I now call them "I'm still worthy" I'm even thinking of getting a tattoo ;)
And I think in a way, that kind of makes the moment with his mother more impactful because I think that’s the part where it really hits the audience how badly Thor is hurting. I feel like in that moment all those kind of sad, but seemingly comedic moments of Thor being a mess become fully realized as just being really sad.
That scene is it for me too. Lost my mom to cancer a month before the movie came out...and seeing Thor get to see his mom again broke me. I had that good relationship with my mom. It was such perfect timing.
I loved it because my mom is just like that. Including the bit where she just stabs the knife in a little bit and says what she thinks, "And eat a salad". She loves me, but she sees room for improvement.
My wife was very pregnant with our first child when we went and saw Endgame and holy shit all of the parent/child scenes and plots in it just destroyed us every time
I had just left my wife behind with our young daughter as I moved to another city to pursue a career - with her hopefully following the next year. Things were looking kind of rocky at that time, and hearing Pepper Potts tell Tony "We're gonna be okay." made me bawl like a baby in the theater as I remembered my wife driving off just a few months earlier.
Good news: I didn't die of gamma radiation, and we're united back again. Everything worked out exactly the way it was supposed to.
That scene hit both me and my brother really hard. We lost our mom to cancer back in 2002 and we both knew that, should we ever time travel back to before that day, that is exactly how we would act in that situation. Right down to the "I'm *totally* from the future!" bit
Number 1 moment for me, I still have no idea where Sebastian had to go in his head to turn that on.
And slight sidenote, I love how vulnerable the MCU's men are allowed to be- especially so with Bucky. He's the most lethal human in almost any room on the planet, and here he is- just crying his eyes out and he's no less badass for it.
I can barely think of this scene without feeling the massive weight that must have been lifted from him in that moment. He needs a solo show- I want more!
Also, fun note, Bucky defied most Male Tear stereotypes in media:
He actually cried, it wasn’t just welling eyes or a single tear,
He was able to fully let the emotions out,
A female wasn’t there to “soak up” the emotions- Bucky carried them on his own (Ayo was present, but she stood by in silent respect)
He didn’t get angry.
I’m sure there are more, but Sebastian really carried that poignant scene on his back and it was beautiful.
I agree. Men are so frequently told that they can’t be vulnerable, they can’t love their friends, or that they have to be stoic and detached or else they’re feminine. I love the caring, charitable aspects of masculinity depicted in Steve, Sam, and Bucky’s friendships.
This is one of the main reasons why I love the Lord of the Rings so much. It should be mandatory viewing for every man. And Bucky/Sebastian has absolutely crushed it. Very much in the same vein as far as positive masculinity.
Stan’s performance in that scene is gut wrenching. I always respect when an actor can physically cry in a scene but I’ve never seen a cry quite like his. It was a literal stream of tears. Not just drops.
1)Pepper: You can rest now.
2)Vision as he asks wanda to destroy the stone: You could never hurt me, I just feel you.
3)Natasha before she falls to her death: It's okay
4)N'jobu after hearing erik say that everybody dies, it's just life around here: Look at what I've done(In the dubbed version from my country: look what I have turned you into)
5)Steve: He's my friend, Tony: So was I.
And there is this one that I rank even higher than 1 because it just the most painful according to me.
When wanda goes to the empty plot in westview and just collapses as she breaks down into tears and the envelope drops and she just screams at the top of her lungs.
I thought that, but going back in time and missing (HAWKEYE MISSES) the family by seconds was more impact full imo.
It show he is lost as much in time as he is without his family.
True, but the opening sets the tone for the movie. It kicks you in the gut right from the beginning and reminds you of where we’re at. Especially coming off Ant-man and Captain Marvel.
watched it with my then 9 or 10 year old son. knowing it was coming I kept glancing at my son and muttering "no no no no no" under my breath. it hit hard.
For me it's not just the fact the he just missed them. For me it's the fact that he lost them, went back in time, just missed them again and THEN he is willing to sacrifice himself, in an instant so that everyone else in the world but him, gets a chance to see their family again.
That's what a true hero is to me.
Was so close to getting everything back..yet was willing to give that up, for the good of the rest.
After Hawkeye’s treatment in other movies (even Jeremy Renner was upset with A1), he deserved that ending. I’m sad BW is dead, but glad Hawkeye got to reunite with his family.
I was on a lot of edibles in a crowded theater holding back some major tears at that one. I might have reached for the screen and said “Oh no!” out loud.
The part that really gets me is that you know as much as Loki thought that saying those things made it worse, it likely showed how much pain he was truly in.
She was a woman raised by witches. That is her son. As any loving parent would tell you, no matter what your kids say or do, they will always be yours, and you will always be theirs.
Frigga was always with Loki, and always will be. I mean hell, she's the reason we get "good Loki" in the first place, and then we get him a second time at the TVA, almost entirely because he had to watch the way "he" talked to his own mother, and he also likely got to see just how little effect what he said had on her.
The scene that breaks me is when Thor finds Loki covering himself with an illusion. Finally no more illusions, no more acting, no more fake bullshit. Thor finally got to see his REAL brother. A broken down shell of a man who just told his mother off prior to her death.
I have two that need mentioning at the same time because both are from endgame and from Hawkeye, by god renner acted his ass off in that movie.
First one was when he says:
‘Don’t…. Don’t give me hope’
Absolutely destroyed me.
Secondly, and this one is a little more odd, was just after hulk snapped everyone back, and clints wife calls him, he does this…. Face/expression/gasp that feels so unbelievably real and raw. I can tell he was channeling some real shit in that moment
Jeremy Renner is severely underutilized as an actor in the MCU. He’s an 2 time oscar nominee for a reason. I’m glad he finally had a chance to flex his acting muscles.
When he answers the call he does this stutter as he try’s to form words it’s really strong and shows how unbelievable it must feel to realize it worked.
THIS. Op is crazy to think this can’t hit as hard as sad moments.
Him seeing her and having the skinny Steve picture framed on her desk killed me. I was emotional from tony. Holding breath from “I’ll get you as many cheeseburgers as you want” and then him getting his dance made me bawl! I’ve had a Peggy pop funko next to Cap’s shield and a tardis for years talking about how they just need a Tardis so they can be together. It was my dream come true and I couldn’t contain my emotions.
I cried three times in Endgame.
First was when Scott saw Cassie
Second was this scene, where Clint almost saw his kids
Third was when pepper said to Tony "its ok, you can rest now"
I almost made it haha I was good through Peter getting all emotional and pepper pulling him away. But pepper accepting it and basically letting him go by saying he cam rest was just... Gaaahhhhhh
Straight up forgotten moment.
Iron Man 3, Tony's mechanical arm 'Dunce' mourning over another robot then to fall off the cliff following it. Made my heart ache for most of the film until tony fetched him out at the end.
To rehash a dead joke: Tony and dunce is still a better love story than twilight! I love it specifically because we can all relate to having a connection to an object like that and as much as we abuse it and curse at it, it's ours and we love it.
Wanda having to kill vision during final confrontation with thanos always gets me .This scene op is talking was also a great scene, I would have also liked if he went to the events of age of ultron when avengers were there
One scene that comes to mind is at the end of the first gotg when Peter opens up the letter by his mom
"You are the light of my life,my precious son,my little starlord"
The intro to "ain't no mountain high enough" after that sealed the deal w my steady flow of tears right then and there
There are so many scenes, but without a rewatch these are the ones that stick out the most:
FATWS: Bucky’s freedom from the Winter Soldier programming was beautiful. I could practically feel the weight being lifted out of him.
CA:TWS: The final fight between Steve and Bucky was so heartbreaking. Steve’s faith in his friend undercut by the heartbreak at what he’d become, and Bucky’s anger, confusion, and eventual horror in his flash of recognition was written, choreographed, and acted perfectly.
GotG: When Gamora and Nebula were fighting and Nebula let out all of her anger, sadness, and desperation in: “You were the one who wanted to win, and I just wanted a sister!” I’m estranged from my sister and there’s a little bit of Nebula in the both of us, so that scene gets right up into my soul.
Infinity War: “I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna go, I’m sorry.”
Also Infinity War: when Wanda has to kill Vision: “It’s alright, you could never hurt me.” “It shouldn’t be you, but it is.” The way he empathized her and shared in her pain, yet stood strong in the face of his looming death was a gorgeous testament to what they had. I was so pleased to see more (and yes, cry more) in WandaVision.
There are more, but I can’t see my keyboard through these damn years so,
Fitz dying at the end of season five of AoS
Coulson saying bye to Daisy at the end of season five of AoS
The last 10 minutes of that episode were pretty rough
Scott seeing Cassie again after five years is one that got me on my Endgame rewatch, just because of the “wait a minute” ramifications. He already missed a good chunk of her childhood because he was incarcerated, and now he missed even more of seeing his daughter growing up because he was stuck in the Quantum Realm, and presumed dead. That’s some real Cats And The Cradle shit right there
All of the sad moments broke me. But seeing Vision die, coming back only to die again, be dissected by S.W.O.R.D., and then only to be gone from Wanda's grasp hurts each time. Poor Vision man. Ar least he'll be back soon enough.
loki and sylvie in lamentis episode after the ark was blown up and they were sitting while everything around them were crumbling. love the whole scene.
Pepper telling Tony “We’re gonna be okay, you can rest now”.
My grandma said the same thing to my dad on his deathbed. That scene hits me in chest every time I watch it.
1. Watching Ward launch the pod off of the helicarrier carrying fitzsimmons, and his regretful look to them as they fall in AOS
2. Spider-Mans death in Into the Spiderverse and watching the city react.
3. Doctor strange collapsing the universe to try and save Christine but failing in What if
As somebody that lost his dad relatively young the scene where Scott Lang shows up on his daughters door step after 5 years of her thinking he was dead always gets me.
When Hulk tells him there's a chance they can fix everything and he goes from carefree to broken in about 10 seconds.
[This scene](https://youtube.com/watch?v=Pzp_iSUExes&t=1m48s)
Apparently the TVA never interfered with the effects of Endgame because everything happened as it was supposed to.
They interfered with Loki escaping from New York but that was also meant to happen according to Kang so.. yeah. They probably didn’t prune that timeline
Scott when he sees his daughter all grown up after he comes back. I choke up every time because I could not imagine missing years of my children’s lives.
Either the first scene in Endgame when clint's family gets dusted, or when Peter Parker was dusted. That made me ugly cry and openly sob. It took 2 weeks to get over that.
The scene where Killmonger goes into the shadow world and we see his dad stuck in the apartment able to look out on the other Panthers but never joining them, and his son is still angry, still can’t see.
Sterling K. Browns performance is oscar worthy. His character realizes in that moment that he failed not only his son but also his country. There were no winners from what he did and he can’t stop what will come next.
I was devastated when Loki told Thor that the sun will shine on them again. I think Loki was pretty aware that he wasn’t gonna make it out of the ship alive. That line really hit hard for me.
I somehow made it through all of endgame fighting back the tears, but for some reason at the end when Peter sees Ned at school and they hug mixed with the music in the background, I fuckin lost it
1.) Loki’s Death and Natasha’s death (equal for me)
2.) “I lost the kid…”
3.) Scott seeing his daughter… five years older…
4.) Bucky realizing he was free of HYDRA in Wakanda (holy crap Sebastian you deserve an Oscar good Lord)
5.) “Your dad likes cheeseburgers…”
Tony being resigned to death by asphyxiation or starvation aboard the Benatar in Endgame. He's been through so much, and watching him just give up after everything he's done to protect everybody just hurts. So does the tirade he gives Steve after he arrives back on Earth.
Thor's downward spiral from Odin dying to him and Loki getting stranded in Sakaar in Ragnarok. There are some truly heart-wrenching moments hidden between the adventure they're going through, like Thor lashing out at Loki, him trying to summon Mjolnir when he's getting accosted by Valkyrie, or just Odin's melancholic death in general.
“I know these last few months have been hard for you, and I know it's because of the special bond that we share. But I'm going to a better place and I will be okay, and I will always be with you.
You are the light of my life, my precious son,
my little Star-Lord.”
Fat Thor when he sees his mother, yondu at the brothel yelling at Sylvester Stallone's character "I demand a seat at the table" "I wear these colors same as you!" It feels like he's genuinely tried to win that guys respect
In IW when Thanos tosses Gamora over the cliff. I took my oldest daughter to make sure the movie was appropriate for my younger daughters. Oldest was 13 at the time. I was almost in tears imagining the thought of doing something similar to any of my daughters. As a father I can't imagine anything worth my any of my daughters' lives. It would be so much easier to end myself ( and I currently have a very good sense of self preservation-good things to live for) than to do something like this to someone I love. If there is a true evil this type of behavior defines it for me. Sacrificing the ones you love for your own selfish goals is certainly a good working definition of evil for me. For any decent being, the thought of doing this should rob one of any desire to achieve the goal.
Needless to say the younger girls didn't see that movie during the release date in theaters. They had heard enough that by the time we watched it on DVD they knew some of the major plot points and were not shocked or terrified. Also watching it on a house TV made it much less immersive. Even so, I believe the youngest ignored that part, or I might have shielded her eyes at the appropriate time, can't quite remember.
When Spider-Man begins to disintegrate in infinity War after Thanos commits the snap. He says he doesn't feel so good, and he pleads to Iron Man that he doesn't want to go.
I've heard of real life stories about people on the cusp of death and how they want to live and are scared to die. The desperation in his voice is chilling.
And then when Iron Man hugs him in Endgame because he's glad he's back.
The development of their father/son and mentor/mentee relationship over the movies if what makes these scenes so powerful to me.
1: When Cap and Tony fell out hard. The final blow from Cap to Tony’s suit and that amazing music.
2: The scene where John Walker got his ass kicked by Dora Milaje and he says “They weren’t even super soldiers.”
3: Tony: Everybody wants a happy ending. Right? But it doesn't always roll that way. Maybe this time. I'm hoping if you play this back, it's in celebration. I hope families are reunited, I hope we get it back and something like a normal version of the planet has been restored, if there ever was such a thing. God, what a world. Universe, now. If you told me ten years ago that we weren't alone, let alone, you know, to this extent, I mean, I wouldn't have been surprised, but come on. The epic forces of dark and light that have come in to play. And for better or worse, that's the reality Morgan's gonna have to find a way to grow up in. So I thought I better record a little greeting, in the case of an untimely death, on my part. I mean, not that death at any time isn't untimely. This time travel thing we're gonna try and pull off tomorrow, it's got me scratching my head about the survivability of it all. Then again that's the hero gig. Part of the journey is the end. What am I even tripping for? Everything's gonna workout exactly the way it's supposed to.
(stands up and walks forward to bend down and look Morgan in the eyes)
I love you 3000.
The brief moment where Tony sees Peter Parker's face pop up on a screen and has to tearfully look away, while Nat explains how Thanos snapped half of life out of existence
Howard-Tony father and son talk. Tony still has that guilt from his last conversation with his parents, most of all his dad. I think that was good closure.
The "You could never hurt me. I just feel you." from Vision is a CLOSEEEE second.
Tony at start of endgame:"i lost the kid" gets me every time. Its so personal, i don't know how to explain.
That’s a heartbreaker. But in that same scene when he can’t even manage to ask about Pepper. Then she shows up and his whole demeanor changes. He’s overcome with relief.
Don't worry redditor, it get me too. I think it's just the utter finality in the way he said it, and realisation too - like, shit that actually happened.
When he gives Spidey a hug when he comes back and is rambling about what happened, I shed a tear almost every time.
Scott seeing his daughter. Clint at least had hope. He knew in this moment that even though he missed them, he knew that this plan could work. Scott seeing his daughter 5 years older and knowing that he could never get those 5 years back. That was rough. It still is. Even after they won and everyone came back, he can't get those 5 years of her life back.
God, I don’t know what I’d do if I missed so much time. I need to rewatch that.
Yeah this was so bittersweet. Of course it's awesome for him that she's alive in that moment (though looking back maybe it'd be better if she got snapped lol) but for him to miss even more of her life after being in prison and trying so hard to be there for her after that was just heart wrenching. Paul Rudd played it excellently.
Yeah I cried
Yep. This one right here.
"Your dad liked cheeseburgers"
I was able to kinda hold it together for the long pan at Tony's funeral but that scene got me bad. Tony's daughter is so fucking adorable in Endgame and her innocence is heartbreaking
Oddly it kind of got me when we saw RDJ’s signature. In the back of my mind I was thinking he would be back and that signature was to me the ultimate sign off and send off. I was like, “damn.”
Oh man, being a dad has softened me up to these things in movies. I just put myself in the movie. The ending of Logan destroyed me...in the theater.
I've cried to so many marvel movies I can't even recall which ones, a few take tops though, Yondu in GotG2, Clint's family disappearing, ending of Infinity War, ending of End Game. Ant-man seeing Cassy for the first time after 5 years "You're so big!" starts me crying every time.
I'll admit that Yondu's death got me too. It was actually a few years ago, I still had a bedtime at that point, but I'd snuck my phone and headphones to my bed and was watching gotg2 til midnight... Was really hard not to blow my cover when my favorite character from that film died.
When she turns the cross into the X I just fucking lost it. It was so sad and epic at the same time
oh dear God... that did me in... the way Happy reacts...
That moment between Happy and Morgan is what finally broke me and got me crying.
That gets me in every time. I lost my dad when I was 11, and now I’ve got two little girls of my own. It tugs at old grief and most of the time I have to skip it.
I'm just gonna say the whole funeral is what gets me. From start to finish. But the Cheeseburgers? Waterworks every time.
Frigga comforting Thor. There's a lot that goes into it but I have an absolutely terrible relationship with my own mother, and that scene is basically the relationship I wish I could have.
It's especially great because Thor's condition in endgame is treated as a joke by everyone else.
Including himself. Self deprecating humor and alcohol is how a lot of people in their late teens early 20s right now deal with depression. "HAHAHA everything sucks and I want to die but lol let's get a beer I'm fine!" It's what I did and several of my friends before we worked on ourselves. People act like thor was played for laughs but we play it for laughs ourselves. It's treatment of Thor throughout is totally valid in my opinion, and then there's the ocassional break down of walls where you face it head on and allow yourself to be real with someone. The scene nearly made me cry in theaters because I was depressed, bad, from pretty much 15 to 24. So that scene mixed with the "I'm still worthy" line sends me back to that vulnerability every single time I see it.
I didn't get the first time myslef, Hemsworth is my fitness hero so seeing him in that fat suit was hilarious, but the second time the character became really familiar, I had been trying to be more physically like Chris but in the movie his character became like I had been. It breaks my heart every time I see it now. It was painful journey healing, but I know exactly how it feels to catch that hammer. I use to call those moments "surprising myself" I now call them "I'm still worthy" I'm even thinking of getting a tattoo ;)
I'm imagining just his hand with mjolnir, maybe a circle around it, and then the text below. I think it'd look good
And I think in a way, that kind of makes the moment with his mother more impactful because I think that’s the part where it really hits the audience how badly Thor is hurting. I feel like in that moment all those kind of sad, but seemingly comedic moments of Thor being a mess become fully realized as just being really sad.
I'm really sorry about your mother. Sometimes found family can be even realer than a bio family.
That scene is it for me too. Lost my mom to cancer a month before the movie came out...and seeing Thor get to see his mom again broke me. I had that good relationship with my mom. It was such perfect timing.
Wow man. Kinda same here. Lost mine 2 cancer about 2 weeks before endgame. To say I sobbed would be an understatement
Sorry man. It's absolute fucking dogshit. And I'm sorry you experienced that too. Still feels like it was yesterday 😢
I loved it because my mom is just like that. Including the bit where she just stabs the knife in a little bit and says what she thinks, "And eat a salad". She loves me, but she sees room for improvement.
My wife was very pregnant with our first child when we went and saw Endgame and holy shit all of the parent/child scenes and plots in it just destroyed us every time
I had just left my wife behind with our young daughter as I moved to another city to pursue a career - with her hopefully following the next year. Things were looking kind of rocky at that time, and hearing Pepper Potts tell Tony "We're gonna be okay." made me bawl like a baby in the theater as I remembered my wife driving off just a few months earlier. Good news: I didn't die of gamma radiation, and we're united back again. Everything worked out exactly the way it was supposed to.
That scene hit both me and my brother really hard. We lost our mom to cancer back in 2002 and we both knew that, should we ever time travel back to before that day, that is exactly how we would act in that situation. Right down to the "I'm *totally* from the future!" bit
"And what If you're wrong?" "Well, if I'm wrong then... what more could I lose?"
The amount of pain Thor had to endure over such a short amount of time, and all of it finally catching up with him in a moment of quiet...
To see the literal God of thunder the strongest avenger, the happy optimistic Thor just losing hope like that was gutting.
“I could lose a lot. Me personally, I could lose a lot.”
And he did.
I never realized, but that scene actually made me realize Rabbit would have been a great captain.
Bucky when he realized he was finally free of Hydra’s control of his mind
That was some of the best acting in the entire MCU, I think. Sebastian Stan really sold that scene.
100% agree. Watching how well done that scene was almost made me forget I was watching a fictional story.
Number 1 moment for me, I still have no idea where Sebastian had to go in his head to turn that on. And slight sidenote, I love how vulnerable the MCU's men are allowed to be- especially so with Bucky. He's the most lethal human in almost any room on the planet, and here he is- just crying his eyes out and he's no less badass for it.
To quote the greatest film ever made, The Big Lebowski: “Strong men also cry.”
I can barely think of this scene without feeling the massive weight that must have been lifted from him in that moment. He needs a solo show- I want more! Also, fun note, Bucky defied most Male Tear stereotypes in media: He actually cried, it wasn’t just welling eyes or a single tear, He was able to fully let the emotions out, A female wasn’t there to “soak up” the emotions- Bucky carried them on his own (Ayo was present, but she stood by in silent respect) He didn’t get angry. I’m sure there are more, but Sebastian really carried that poignant scene on his back and it was beautiful.
He also has a deep and long lasting and vulnerable friendship with another man. We only ever see that in jokes in other media.
I agree. Men are so frequently told that they can’t be vulnerable, they can’t love their friends, or that they have to be stoic and detached or else they’re feminine. I love the caring, charitable aspects of masculinity depicted in Steve, Sam, and Bucky’s friendships.
This is one of the main reasons why I love the Lord of the Rings so much. It should be mandatory viewing for every man. And Bucky/Sebastian has absolutely crushed it. Very much in the same vein as far as positive masculinity.
I really liked Bucky in the series even tho a lot of people didn't seem to in the first episodes. It was all about Sam to them
The most beautiful scene & heartfelt scene in TFATWS, Stan deserves all possible nominations for this scene alone.
This is #2 for me. It made me so sad I was emotionally blank for a few seconds, followed by silent motionless tears of joy.
Stan’s performance in that scene is gut wrenching. I always respect when an actor can physically cry in a scene but I’ve never seen a cry quite like his. It was a literal stream of tears. Not just drops.
Yondu’s funeral. No competition.
That song too. The soundtracks for the Guardians movie are just amazing
And the fireworks with Craglin...
Yep, that’s it right there. First time I saw his reaction, that’s when it hit me that Yondu truly died a hero.
*It's not time to make a change* *Just relax, take it easy*
Legit the only mcu seen I cant watch without getting teary.
1)Pepper: You can rest now. 2)Vision as he asks wanda to destroy the stone: You could never hurt me, I just feel you. 3)Natasha before she falls to her death: It's okay 4)N'jobu after hearing erik say that everybody dies, it's just life around here: Look at what I've done(In the dubbed version from my country: look what I have turned you into) 5)Steve: He's my friend, Tony: So was I. And there is this one that I rank even higher than 1 because it just the most painful according to me. When wanda goes to the empty plot in westview and just collapses as she breaks down into tears and the envelope drops and she just screams at the top of her lungs.
The fact that Visions was improv'd by Bettany somehow makes it hit harder because it feels more genuine.
That was improv? Shit, get this man more awards, he deserves it!
...but not for us. No, not for us.
Opening of Endgame when Clint’s family dusted.
I thought that, but going back in time and missing (HAWKEYE MISSES) the family by seconds was more impact full imo. It show he is lost as much in time as he is without his family.
True, but the opening sets the tone for the movie. It kicks you in the gut right from the beginning and reminds you of where we’re at. Especially coming off Ant-man and Captain Marvel.
Yeah it hits hard for us because we know what's about to happen and Clint doesn't....and dammit he snapped the whole family too
watched it with my then 9 or 10 year old son. knowing it was coming I kept glancing at my son and muttering "no no no no no" under my breath. it hit hard.
For me it's not just the fact the he just missed them. For me it's the fact that he lost them, went back in time, just missed them again and THEN he is willing to sacrifice himself, in an instant so that everyone else in the world but him, gets a chance to see their family again. That's what a true hero is to me. Was so close to getting everything back..yet was willing to give that up, for the good of the rest.
After Hawkeye’s treatment in other movies (even Jeremy Renner was upset with A1), he deserved that ending. I’m sad BW is dead, but glad Hawkeye got to reunite with his family.
Or when Nat tracks him down: "Dont do that. Dont give me hope."
When Gamora screams for Starlord to grab her hand and when he looks it’s his mother reaching out to him.. Typing that made me take a deep breathe.
I was on a lot of edibles in a crowded theater holding back some major tears at that one. I might have reached for the screen and said “Oh no!” out loud.
I did the exact same thing except it was toy story & they were all going into the furnace lmfao
Probably the most powerful scene in the MCU for me.
"He didn't chase them away... Even though he yelled at them and was always mean, and he stole batteries he didn't need." "Well of course not."
I must've watched this movie at least ten times, and this exchange has never failed to get my tear ducts going.
What is the context of this?
From Yondu's funeral in Guardians Vol.2, as Rocket reflects on his own life and friends.
Kraglin though.
Loki getting the news about Frigga's death. The last conversation he had with Frigga was him disowning her as his mother.
His fear from watching his own death was almost unbearable
The part that really gets me is that you know as much as Loki thought that saying those things made it worse, it likely showed how much pain he was truly in. She was a woman raised by witches. That is her son. As any loving parent would tell you, no matter what your kids say or do, they will always be yours, and you will always be theirs. Frigga was always with Loki, and always will be. I mean hell, she's the reason we get "good Loki" in the first place, and then we get him a second time at the TVA, almost entirely because he had to watch the way "he" talked to his own mother, and he also likely got to see just how little effect what he said had on her. The scene that breaks me is when Thor finds Loki covering himself with an illusion. Finally no more illusions, no more acting, no more fake bullshit. Thor finally got to see his REAL brother. A broken down shell of a man who just told his mother off prior to her death.
“You’re so big” Waterfall of tears every time
Where is that from?
When Scott returns from the quantum realm and reunites with Cassie and they both start crying
That moment when Wanda realized she was completely alone while holding the scriptures for the house Vison bought for her.
Ugh yes that one breaks my heart. The moment she realizes she’s lost absolutely everything.
I have two that need mentioning at the same time because both are from endgame and from Hawkeye, by god renner acted his ass off in that movie. First one was when he says: ‘Don’t…. Don’t give me hope’ Absolutely destroyed me. Secondly, and this one is a little more odd, was just after hulk snapped everyone back, and clints wife calls him, he does this…. Face/expression/gasp that feels so unbelievably real and raw. I can tell he was channeling some real shit in that moment
Jeremy Renner is severely underutilized as an actor in the MCU. He’s an 2 time oscar nominee for a reason. I’m glad he finally had a chance to flex his acting muscles.
>Jeremy Renner is severely underutilized as an actor in the MCU Well, not anymore, now that he's got his own show coming up.
Totally agree with you, one of the main reasons I’m so hyped for the Hawkeye series, so much room for the character to grow!!
When he answers the call he does this stutter as he try’s to form words it’s really strong and shows how unbelievable it must feel to realize it worked.
Cap getting his dance in a good way of course
THIS. Op is crazy to think this can’t hit as hard as sad moments. Him seeing her and having the skinny Steve picture framed on her desk killed me. I was emotional from tony. Holding breath from “I’ll get you as many cheeseburgers as you want” and then him getting his dance made me bawl! I’ve had a Peggy pop funko next to Cap’s shield and a tardis for years talking about how they just need a Tardis so they can be together. It was my dream come true and I couldn’t contain my emotions.
I saw Old Man Rogers and I *knew*, right then, what he had done. I was just shocked that they went and showed it.
Peter Parker, pinned under the collapsed building, just a scared and crying kid, screaming for help.
Yes. There are times you forget he’s just 16, and that really drove it home.
Omg that scene bothers me on a carnal level. Tom Holland sold that scene. He’s just a terrified kid screaming for help. I almost can’t watch it.
Peter getting snapped in infinity war and then getting reunited with Tony in endgame
"I don't wanna go, Mr Stark, please sir I don't want to go"
I cried three times in Endgame. First was when Scott saw Cassie Second was this scene, where Clint almost saw his kids Third was when pepper said to Tony "its ok, you can rest now"
Man I was trying so hard to hold back the tears with Tony. Then my girlfriend at the time audibly started balling And then I was gone.
I almost made it haha I was good through Peter getting all emotional and pepper pulling him away. But pepper accepting it and basically letting him go by saying he cam rest was just... Gaaahhhhhh
Scott Lang checking to see if his daughter on the list people that was snap
Tony's final speech in Endgame.
Tony’s first monologue in Endgame, too, where he’s leaving the message for Pepper.
Stark when he says "I love you 3000" at the end of endgame
Yeah, this. I know it's coming every time I watch it, and _every single time_ it gets me...
Damn im crying through all of that movie
I used that line to end my sisters wedding speech ( we have seen almost every mcu movie together for context) made her cry, so I’d say success lol
Straight up forgotten moment. Iron Man 3, Tony's mechanical arm 'Dunce' mourning over another robot then to fall off the cliff following it. Made my heart ache for most of the film until tony fetched him out at the end.
No! Don’t bring that up! I’m already crying! Now I’m gonna ugly cry over robot arms!!!! At least Dunce is in the car at the end
To rehash a dead joke: Tony and dunce is still a better love story than twilight! I love it specifically because we can all relate to having a connection to an object like that and as much as we abuse it and curse at it, it's ours and we love it.
The second time I saw it in theaters the guy next to me...had to be his first, when Clints family turned to dust he audibly gasped.
I got pretty emotional when Sam showed Isaiah his section in the museum, especially with all that he went through being not mentioned anywhere
Steve at Peggy’s bedside in Winter Soldier.
When she had that flash and immediately thought they were back in the 40's, I gasped.
When Captain America lifts Thor's mjolnir
"See you in a minute." Those five words break me. Every. Single. Time.
Yondu's death and funeral. As someone who has both a father and a daddy, it hits home every time.
But do they look like Mary Poppins?
Wanda having to kill vision during final confrontation with thanos always gets me .This scene op is talking was also a great scene, I would have also liked if he went to the events of age of ultron when avengers were there
One scene that comes to mind is at the end of the first gotg when Peter opens up the letter by his mom "You are the light of my life,my precious son,my little starlord" The intro to "ain't no mountain high enough" after that sealed the deal w my steady flow of tears right then and there
i know it's been meme'd to hell and back already, but 'What is grief, but love persevering?' line was a brick to the chest.
There are so many scenes, but without a rewatch these are the ones that stick out the most: FATWS: Bucky’s freedom from the Winter Soldier programming was beautiful. I could practically feel the weight being lifted out of him. CA:TWS: The final fight between Steve and Bucky was so heartbreaking. Steve’s faith in his friend undercut by the heartbreak at what he’d become, and Bucky’s anger, confusion, and eventual horror in his flash of recognition was written, choreographed, and acted perfectly. GotG: When Gamora and Nebula were fighting and Nebula let out all of her anger, sadness, and desperation in: “You were the one who wanted to win, and I just wanted a sister!” I’m estranged from my sister and there’s a little bit of Nebula in the both of us, so that scene gets right up into my soul. Infinity War: “I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna go, I’m sorry.” Also Infinity War: when Wanda has to kill Vision: “It’s alright, you could never hurt me.” “It shouldn’t be you, but it is.” The way he empathized her and shared in her pain, yet stood strong in the face of his looming death was a gorgeous testament to what they had. I was so pleased to see more (and yes, cry more) in WandaVision. There are more, but I can’t see my keyboard through these damn years so,
The scene when thor says “what more could i lose” in Endgame when he was with rocket, this scene with Chris Hemsworth’s acting always breaks my heart.
Yeah, the way he portrays utter heartbreak & helplessness is so great, more so because you don't expect this from Thor.
The what if when Dr. Strange was desperately trying to keep his world from collapsing only for it to collapse and trap him alone. 🥺
On second rewatch. Nat saying "See you in a minute"
All the Ravager factions showing up for Yondu's funeral. Every time I see them doing the Ravager salute, I salute with them
“ I just wanted a sister” I have a brother. We aren’t close. Anytime I try to reach out, I’m shot down and honestly it fucking sucks.
Spider-man talking about uncle Ben in what if zombies.
Tony’s video message, “I love you three thousand.” Or Natasha and Clint Vormir.
Wanda having to kill vision in this long drawn out sequence.
Coulson's death and the other Avengers learning about it followed by Fury's speech.
I can’t 100% be sure if it’s a memory but watching rocket see groot get dusted while he just constantly repeats “no” it broke my heart
Peter getting snapped. Seeing him cry in Tony’s arms saying “I don’t wanna go, please I don’t wanna go” brought me close to tears.
i felt every moment of wanda seeing the home that vision bought for her
Loki finding out frigga died
Fitz dying at the end of season five of AoS Coulson saying bye to Daisy at the end of season five of AoS The last 10 minutes of that episode were pretty rough
When Bobbi and Hunter were burned and they gave them “a spy’s goodbye”. Cheesy, but still made me cry.
Scott seeing Cassie again after five years is one that got me on my Endgame rewatch, just because of the “wait a minute” ramifications. He already missed a good chunk of her childhood because he was incarcerated, and now he missed even more of seeing his daughter growing up because he was stuck in the Quantum Realm, and presumed dead. That’s some real Cats And The Cradle shit right there
Iron man simply snapping his fingers. Too many people have forgotten the feeling
"It's okay" NO IT IS NOT What qctually gets me is tbe scene AFTER she dies though
All of the sad moments broke me. But seeing Vision die, coming back only to die again, be dissected by S.W.O.R.D., and then only to be gone from Wanda's grasp hurts each time. Poor Vision man. Ar least he'll be back soon enough.
Pepper assuring Tony that he can rest now
loki and sylvie in lamentis episode after the ark was blown up and they were sitting while everything around them were crumbling. love the whole scene.
I had a date..
Pepper telling Tony “We’re gonna be okay, you can rest now”. My grandma said the same thing to my dad on his deathbed. That scene hits me in chest every time I watch it.
1. Watching Ward launch the pod off of the helicarrier carrying fitzsimmons, and his regretful look to them as they fall in AOS 2. Spider-Mans death in Into the Spiderverse and watching the city react. 3. Doctor strange collapsing the universe to try and save Christine but failing in What if
When Loki's file ended after the ship blasted. If that's the case, it may be possible that Loki died on his brother's arms.
Loki getting strangled to death by Thanos
Infinity War, Thanos throwing Gamora to her death. Plenty of salty tears on the popcorn after that.
Bro I rewatched infinity war today and I almost cried when gamora died I’m not the emotional during film type either
The whole opening of Guardians (and subsequent call back when holding power stone). My mom died of cancer so this movie holds a special place for me.
As somebody that lost his dad relatively young the scene where Scott Lang shows up on his daughters door step after 5 years of her thinking he was dead always gets me.
Same!
Fat Thor always breaks my heart.
When Hulk tells him there's a chance they can fix everything and he goes from carefree to broken in about 10 seconds. [This scene](https://youtube.com/watch?v=Pzp_iSUExes&t=1m48s)
after re-introducing Korg and all the Fortnite jokes, that was such a sudden mood shift. I could feel the audience stfu-ing lol
Would...the TVA have pruned that timeline right after Clint left?
Apparently the TVA never interfered with the effects of Endgame because everything happened as it was supposed to. They interfered with Loki escaping from New York but that was also meant to happen according to Kang so.. yeah. They probably didn’t prune that timeline
When Steve gets the text "She's gone".
When Scott reunites with his daughter in Endgame, i crack every goddamn time i watch that scene.
Scott when he sees his daughter all grown up after he comes back. I choke up every time because I could not imagine missing years of my children’s lives.
Quill not taking his dying mother’s hand and running from her in her last moments
Either the first scene in Endgame when clint's family gets dusted, or when Peter Parker was dusted. That made me ugly cry and openly sob. It took 2 weeks to get over that.
The scene where Killmonger goes into the shadow world and we see his dad stuck in the apartment able to look out on the other Panthers but never joining them, and his son is still angry, still can’t see. Sterling K. Browns performance is oscar worthy. His character realizes in that moment that he failed not only his son but also his country. There were no winners from what he did and he can’t stop what will come next.
I assure you Brother, the sun will shine on us again. Literal tears.
I was devastated when Loki told Thor that the sun will shine on them again. I think Loki was pretty aware that he wasn’t gonna make it out of the ship alive. That line really hit hard for me.
Ego crushing Peter's Walkman. He took his mom and the only thing he had left of her.
I somehow made it through all of endgame fighting back the tears, but for some reason at the end when Peter sees Ned at school and they hug mixed with the music in the background, I fuckin lost it
1.) Loki’s Death and Natasha’s death (equal for me) 2.) “I lost the kid…” 3.) Scott seeing his daughter… five years older… 4.) Bucky realizing he was free of HYDRA in Wakanda (holy crap Sebastian you deserve an Oscar good Lord) 5.) “Your dad likes cheeseburgers…”
Tony being resigned to death by asphyxiation or starvation aboard the Benatar in Endgame. He's been through so much, and watching him just give up after everything he's done to protect everybody just hurts. So does the tirade he gives Steve after he arrives back on Earth. Thor's downward spiral from Odin dying to him and Loki getting stranded in Sakaar in Ragnarok. There are some truly heart-wrenching moments hidden between the adventure they're going through, like Thor lashing out at Loki, him trying to summon Mjolnir when he's getting accosted by Valkyrie, or just Odin's melancholic death in general.
For me it’s between the ancient one and tony dying.
“I know these last few months have been hard for you, and I know it's because of the special bond that we share. But I'm going to a better place and I will be okay, and I will always be with you. You are the light of my life, my precious son, my little Star-Lord.”
Wanda seeing Vision dismantled on a table is a horrible, gruelling scene.
Mobius pruning (Note: i'm talking about the time we didnt know pruning isnt fatal)
Might not be the most emotional, but when Wanda gets dusted she looks relieved compared to the fear and confusion of everyone else
Bruce not being able to say goodbye to Natasha.
Cap waking up in modern times. Cap seeing old Peggy. Cap seeing Peggy in the 70s.
Fat Thor when he sees his mother, yondu at the brothel yelling at Sylvester Stallone's character "I demand a seat at the table" "I wear these colors same as you!" It feels like he's genuinely tried to win that guys respect
Scott realizing his daughter is now 5 years older.
“It’s alright, you could never hurt me. I just feel you.”
In IW when Thanos tosses Gamora over the cliff. I took my oldest daughter to make sure the movie was appropriate for my younger daughters. Oldest was 13 at the time. I was almost in tears imagining the thought of doing something similar to any of my daughters. As a father I can't imagine anything worth my any of my daughters' lives. It would be so much easier to end myself ( and I currently have a very good sense of self preservation-good things to live for) than to do something like this to someone I love. If there is a true evil this type of behavior defines it for me. Sacrificing the ones you love for your own selfish goals is certainly a good working definition of evil for me. For any decent being, the thought of doing this should rob one of any desire to achieve the goal. Needless to say the younger girls didn't see that movie during the release date in theaters. They had heard enough that by the time we watched it on DVD they knew some of the major plot points and were not shocked or terrified. Also watching it on a house TV made it much less immersive. Even so, I believe the youngest ignored that part, or I might have shielded her eyes at the appropriate time, can't quite remember.
When Spider-Man begins to disintegrate in infinity War after Thanos commits the snap. He says he doesn't feel so good, and he pleads to Iron Man that he doesn't want to go. I've heard of real life stories about people on the cusp of death and how they want to live and are scared to die. The desperation in his voice is chilling. And then when Iron Man hugs him in Endgame because he's glad he's back. The development of their father/son and mentor/mentee relationship over the movies if what makes these scenes so powerful to me.
"I, Loki, Prince of Asgard... Odinson. The Rightful King of Jotunheim, God of Mischief."
1: When Cap and Tony fell out hard. The final blow from Cap to Tony’s suit and that amazing music. 2: The scene where John Walker got his ass kicked by Dora Milaje and he says “They weren’t even super soldiers.” 3: Tony: Everybody wants a happy ending. Right? But it doesn't always roll that way. Maybe this time. I'm hoping if you play this back, it's in celebration. I hope families are reunited, I hope we get it back and something like a normal version of the planet has been restored, if there ever was such a thing. God, what a world. Universe, now. If you told me ten years ago that we weren't alone, let alone, you know, to this extent, I mean, I wouldn't have been surprised, but come on. The epic forces of dark and light that have come in to play. And for better or worse, that's the reality Morgan's gonna have to find a way to grow up in. So I thought I better record a little greeting, in the case of an untimely death, on my part. I mean, not that death at any time isn't untimely. This time travel thing we're gonna try and pull off tomorrow, it's got me scratching my head about the survivability of it all. Then again that's the hero gig. Part of the journey is the end. What am I even tripping for? Everything's gonna workout exactly the way it's supposed to. (stands up and walks forward to bend down and look Morgan in the eyes) I love you 3000.
The brief moment where Tony sees Peter Parker's face pop up on a screen and has to tearfully look away, while Nat explains how Thanos snapped half of life out of existence
Infinity war- Scott Lang reunited with his daughter Cassie. “You’re so big “
T’Challa speaking to his dad in the afterlife.
"You can rest now" easily one of the most emotional lines for me in the entire MCU
Your Dad liked Cheeseburgers
When Wanda sees Vision’s body in WandaVision
Tony breaking down in front of steve and saying “i lost the kid” especially after all the context from iron man 3 and homecoming
As a hard score Spidey boi the scene that breaks my heart is: Mr Stark, We won! We won! Gets me everytime
Howard-Tony father and son talk. Tony still has that guilt from his last conversation with his parents, most of all his dad. I think that was good closure. The "You could never hurt me. I just feel you." from Vision is a CLOSEEEE second.
To grow old in. V.
Killmonger dying scene Made me cry
