The coordinates for Vormir are laid in. All they have to do is not fall out. Everyone fails at who they are supposed to be, Thor. The measure of a person, of a hero, is how well they succeed at being who they are. I thought my dad was tough on me. And now, looking back, I just remember the good stuff, you know. He did drop the odd pearl. Look, us sitting here staring at that thing is not gonna bring everybody back. I'm the strongest Avenger, okay? So this responsibility falls upon me. It's my duty. You remember... everyone Thanos snapped away five years ago and just bringing them back to now, today. Don't change anything from the last five years.
Gotta say, sometimes I miss that giddy optimism. However, high hopes won't help if there's no logical, tangible way for me to safely execute said time heist. I believe the most likely outcome would be our collective demise. Well, you pulled this off. I remember a time when that seemed pretty impossible time, too. I don't know why everyone believes that, but that isn't true. Think about it: If you travel to the past, that past becomes your future. And your former present becomes the past. Which can't now be changed by your new future... You think you're the only one who lost people? What do you think we're doing here? I lost the only family I ever had. Quill, Groot, Drax, the chick with the antenna, all gone. Now, I get you miss your Mom. But she's gone. Really gone. And there are plenty of people who are only kinda gone. But you can help them. So is it too much to ask that you brush the crumbs outta your beard, make schmoopy talk to Pretty Pants, and when she's not looking, suck out the Infinity Stone and help me get my family back? Oh, he's gonna answer to us. Odin can have what's left. And I'm gonna need that case, that's been SHIELD property for over 70 years. For the last five years I've been trying to do one thing: Get to right here. That's all it's been about. Bringing everybody back. Look...It's not just the fact that that glove is channeling enough energy to light up a continent, I'm telling you, you're in no condition.
Hey, you guys want mayo or mustard, or both? The universe required correction. After that, the stones served no purpose, beyond temptation. I used the stones to destroy the stones. It nearly killed me. But the work is done. It always will be. I am inevitable. For the last five years I've been trying to do one thing: Get to right here. That's all it's been about. Bringing everybody back. You could not live with your own failure. And where did that bring you? Back to me. I thought by eliminating half of life, the other half would thrive. But you’ve shown me that’s impossible. And as long as there are those that remember what was, there will always be those that are unable to accept what can be. They will resist. It's time for me to be who I am rather than who I'm supposed to be. But you, you're a leader. That's who you are.
