Quote #4
THOR: Do not touch me again!
IRON MAN: Then don't take my stuff.
THOR: You have no idea what you are dealing with.
IRON MAN: Uh, Shakespeare in the Park? "Doth mother know you weareth her drapes?"
Stark uses put-downs a lot, in part because he's a snarky little narcissist, but also to send a message: you may be big and strong, but I'm not afraid of you. In fact, he's going to crack jokes at your expense while you threaten him.
Quote #5
THOR: I thought humans were more evolved than this.
NICK FURY: Excuse me, did we come to your planet and blow stuff up?
Fury's got a point, but he's also trying to establish a moral high ground here. Asgard and Earth are just coming into contact, and Fury wants to make sure they aren't outgunned by the, you know, gods.
Quote #6
TONY STARK: Why shouldn't the guy let off a little steam?
STEVE ROGERS: You know damn well why! Back off!
TONY STARK: Oh, I'm starting to want you to make me.
Hang on fellas: you'll get to argue all you want in Civil War. In the meantime, though, it's nice to see your natural competitiveness bubbling over.
