Quotes 

• The Other : Humans... They are not the cowering wretches we were promised. They stand. They are unruly, and therefore cannot be ruled. To challenge them is to court death.

  [Thanos rises and smiles] 

• The Other : The Chitauri grow restless.

  Loki : Let them gird themselves. I will lead them into glorious battle.

  The Other : Battle? Against the meager might of Earth?

  Loki : Glorious, not lengthy. If your force is as formidable as you claim.

  The Other : You question us? You question HIM? He, who put the scepter in your hand, who gave you ancient knowledge and new purpose when you were cast out, defeated?

  Loki : I was a king, the rightful king of Asgard! Betrayed!

  The Other : Your ambition is little, born of childish need. We look beyond the Earth to greater worlds the Tesseract will unveil.

  Loki : You don't have the Tesseract yet. I don't threaten, but until I open the doors, until your force is mine to command, you are but words.

  The Other : You will have your war, Asgardian. If you fail, if the Tesseract is kept from us, there will be no realm, no barren moon, no crevice where he can not find you. You think you know pain? He will make you long for something as sweet as pain.

  The Other : The Tesseract has awakened. It is on a little world. A human world. They would wield its power, but our ally knows its workings as they never will. He is ready to lead. And our force, our Chitauri, will follow. The world will be his. The universe yours. And the humans, what can they do but burn?
