25 timeless Marvel movie quotes every Marvel fan should know

“I love you 3000” -Tony Stark and Morgan Stark

6. 3000

Marvel movie: Avengers: Endgame

Tony Stark was retired. He moved to a home in the woods with his wife and decided to live a life without the excitement that comes with being a hero. Along the way, he and his wife have a daughter (Morgan). Years later, when Tony figures out how to make time travel possible, his daughter catches him cursing. He bribes her with a popsicle and takes her to bed. Before leaving, she says, “I love you 3000.” Everyone who heard this heart melted.

Later, the unfortunate happened. Tony Stark died. He may have brought back trillions upon trillions back from the abyss, but he still gave up a life of peace to do it. His wife was left without a husband and a daughter without a father. Stark knew there was a possibility that he wouldn’t come back from his mission, so he left a video. The last thing he says is, “I love you 3000” to his family.

This was a blend of happiness and sorrow. First, seeing Tony Stark as a father was something no one saw happening. We may have known he would die at some point, but his final words were touching. It wasn’t something snarky or arrogant. It was sweet. It was unlike the Tony Stark we first met, but very much the one he turned into.
