MCU: 10 Most Emotional Quotes In Phase 4

 From Scarlet Witch’s goodbye to Vision to Natasha acknowledging her bond with Yelena, MCU’s Phase Four has quotes that tug at viewers’ heartstrings.

WARNING! This article contains Major Spoilers for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever!

The highly anticipated Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has exceeded expectations following its release, going on to claim the highest-grossing weekend gross at the November box office. The sequel has a notably emotional plot due to the death of star Chadwick Boseman, with the story focusing on the effect T’Challa’s passing has on the characters.

Phase Four has closed the film releases of the MCU, going out on a sentimental note. There have been plenty of other Phase Four entries with a similar tone, best reflected in certain quotes. These range from sad ones like Scarlet Witch’s goodbyes to Vision to more uplifting but equally moving ones such as Sam Wilson’s announcement as the new Captain America. It’s worth looking into the most emotional dialogue of this phase to see which had the most impact.

"I Love You Guys."

Peter-Three To His Variants (Spider-Man: No Way Home)

This is one of the best quotes in Spider-Man: No Way Home for its dual meaning, as it reflects both the happy and emotional mental state of Peter-Three. He utters the quote just before the three Spider-Men jump into action, which surprises the other two.

However, it’s a moving quote because it shows just how lonely Peter-Three had been. He’d earlier admitted that being with his variants made him feel like he had brothers, hinting that he’d been craving a connection for a long time. Peter-Three’s admission went to show that he was finally happy that he had people he could open up to.

“My Hope For You Is To One Day Find Something That Makes You Feel This Shi**y.”

Star-Lord To Thor (Thor: Love And Thunder)

Star-Lord delivered one of the best quotes in Thor: Love and Thunder just before he bid farewell to the titular character. Realizing that Thor had closed himself off emotionally, Star-Lord claimed it was better to feel hurt and sad than to feel nothing.

Star-Lord illustrated this by admitting that he was still despondent over losing Gamora, although he appreciated that he at least got to be in love. This quote was the setup for Thor’s arc in the film where he ultimately gave love a chance once more to be with Jane.

"I Love You In Every Universe."

Doctor Strange To Christine (Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness)

Doctor Strange talking to Christine 

This was quite possibly the best quote in Doctor Strange 2, showing the protagonist at his most vulnerable. After finally staving off the threat of Scarlet Witch, Strange professed his love to Earth-838 Christine, claiming that it didn’t matter if she was a variant because he loved her in every universe.

It was a big decision for Strange since he’d kept his feelings bottled up for so long and this was the moment where he realized that he could never be with Christine no matter what universe it was. For the protagonist, professing his love was the best he could hope for, and he made it count.

"It Was Real To Me, Too."

Natasha Romanoff To Yelena Belova (Black Widow)

This quote had an extra emotional gut-punch attached to it because of how it tied into an earlier interaction between Natasha and Yelena, where the former had claimed they were never really sisters. After finally putting an end to the Red Room, though, Natasha let go of all pretense.

She was brave enough to admit that her bond with Yelena had indeed been real, and she wasn’t going to pretend it wasn’t anymore. Making it even more emotional was the fact that fans knew this was the last time they were seeing each other, as Yelena’s next interaction with Natasha was at the latter’s grave.

"I'm Not Leaving You Again."

Shang-Chi To Xialing (Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings)

While there were many notable quotes in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, this one stands out. The protagonist said it to his sister while saving her life, promising that he was going to remain by her side – it acted as an apology for abandoning her all those years ago.

Shang-Chi’s words were short and to the point, but there was a deeper act of contrition behind them, as he came to realize just how wrong he’d been to leave his sister on her own. This quote put him on the path to redeeming himself to go on to become the protector of Ta Lo.

"You Are My Sadness And My Hope. But Mostly, You're My Love.”

Wanda To Vision (WandaVision)

Scarlet Witch tried to keep her sadness at bay by creating a new reality that trapped Westview under her spell. After the fiasco with S.W.O.R.D., Scarlet Witch had no choice but to let go and experience her grief, telling the Hex Vision that her feelings paved the way for his creation.

This quote was the moment where Scarlet Witch was true to herself, allowing the sadness of losing Vision to come to light. It becomes even more emotional considering she went back to pushing her grief away in Doctor Strange 2, making the moment with the Hex Vision the last time when Scarlet Witch was genuine.

"Love Is A Dagger."

Loki To Sylvie (Loki)

Loki shows Sylvie a dagger 

During Loki and Sylvie’s banter, the pair mulled over the meaning of love – Loki came to the conclusion that’s uttered in this quote. According to him, love was something that seemed beautiful from afar but was deadly when it came close.

While Loki wasn’t too passionate during his speech, it’s clear that he saw love as a guaranteed way to get hurt. It went to show how troubled Loki was inherently to equate love with pain, which also meant that the brave face he was putting up was just an act to hide his true feelings.

"I'm Captain America."

Sam Wilson Announces Himself (The Falcon And The Winter Soldier)

Sam Wilson first entry as Captain America in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier 

Sam started out the series unwilling to take up the mantle of Captain America because he felt he didn’t deserve it. That’s why it was so moving to see him finally embrace this identity, as it was a culmination of his arc of understanding what makes a person a hero.

Sam announced his status as Captain America by bursting through the windows of a skyscraper, doing so boldly and with conviction. It was a powerful quote to hear since viewers could see the difference between who Sam had become, with the character now willing to take on the responsibility.

"It Was A Good Time During A Hard Time."

Hulk Remembers Tony Stark (She-Hulk: Attorney At Law)

Hulk talking to Jen in his lab in She-Hulk 

While it seemed like Bruce had made his peace with the Blip and the death of his friends after the Battle of Earth, his conversation with Jen showed otherwise. Bruce reminisced over the times he shared with Tony during the Blip, which he summed up with this quote.

It was a short but telling scene that depicted the sadness that Bruce continued to carry over losing his friends. It was also emotional for confirming that Tony made time for Bruce when the world was at its lowest point, showing just how strong their friendship was and how it helped to make such a hard time feel a little easier.

"The World Has Taken Too Much For You To Still Be Considered A Child."

M'Baku To Shuri (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever)

M’Baku pretty much said what the audience would be thinking when he uttered this quote to Shuri during Ramonda’s funeral. The youngest member of the royal family had lost her father, brother, and mother in a short time, forcing her to change from the happy, bubbly girl she was to a shattered person.

The normally stoic M’Baku was visibly emotional, as he sympathized with Shuri for having to put up with so much pain at such a young age. Moreover, it marked the character development of M’Baku and Shuri, as he changed his former opinion of considering a careless child now that he saw how much she’d changed.
