25 timeless Marvel movie quotes every Marvel fan should know

“You should have gone for the head.” – Thanos

“I went for the head.” – Thor

11. Should’ve aimed higher

Marvel movie: Avengers: Infinity War

Thor was dominated by Thanos in a way that may not have happened to him previously. After that, Thor knew he needed a weapon. As he put it, the Thanos killing kind. Thor’s powerful, but not enough to defeat someone wielding more than one Infinity Stone. Along with Groot and Rocket (or Rabbit as Thor was calling him), The God of Thunder embarked on a journey to find such a weapon. They succeeded.

Thor got his chance to slay Thanos. He made one mistake and Thanos made certain he let him know. Thor should have gone for the head. With a snap of his fingers, Thanos accomplished his goal. When Thor saw Thanos again, he didn’t make the same mistake twice. He went for the head.

Thanos’ line was appropriate. Thor should have decapitated him instead of trying to make Thanos suffer. Saying it at that moment is something fans will never forget. Just when you thought the heroes won, Thanos took that hope away.

When Thor had his chance again, he made right on the promise to make Thanos pay. Him saying, “I went for the head.” Isn’t something that anyone but him would have known. Nonetheless, Thor knew. Thanos saying, “You should have gone for the head” must have haunted him. Saying it out loud was a somber moment. Thor was too late to save the day and he knew it.
