Hold up; The Avengers didn’t just make comic book fans lose their minds in 2012—it also low-key predicted the entire Phase 2 of the MCU. While everyone was still splitting up about Hulk smashing Loki, the film’s sharpest lines set up future plot twists for Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Cue Captain America’s calm, biting comment to Tony Stark: “Big man in a suit of armor. Take that off, what are you?” In the moment, Steve was being Steve—throwing shade. But four years later, this line wasn’t just a random jab but straight-up foreshadowing Iron Man 3. Tony’s whole struggle in the movie? Figuring out who he is without the armor. This wasn’t just a burn from Steve; it was a declaration of identity crisis coming for Tony Stark. And let’s be honest: if that scene didn’t hint at the Civil War, I don’t know what it did.

Here’s Fury, bringing the heat with this throwaway line: “Excuse me, did WE come to YOUR planet and blow stuff up?” It feels like classic Nick Fury sarcasm, but boom—flash forward to Thor: The Dark World and Asgard gets a new kind of wrecking ball, courtesy of the Dark Elves. Fury’s sarcastic remark was textbook foreshadowing for an entire battle on Asgard. Who knew he could see into the future, right? Maybe his other eye was keeping tabs on Asgardian affairs.

And then we have the line that hits hard. During a casual chat in the lab, Natasha Romanoff casually drops: “We all are” when talking about S.H.I.E.L.D. monitoring potential threats. On the surface, it’s just another exchange. But when Steve and Natasha end up as fugitives in The Winter Soldier after Fury’s “death,” you can’t help but look back and think: yep, Natasha knew. S.H.I.E.L.D. had been watching them all along, and who knew that would turn into the HYDRA-takes-over-the-world fiasco? Bonus points for Black Widow potentially being way more involved in HYDRA’s takeover than we realized.

These aren’t just funny one-liners; these little comments set up the entire domino effect for Phase 2. They weren’t dropped for fun but because Marvel was already looking ahead. These characters might have been bickering and throwing around sarcastic jabs, but behind those quips was the groundwork for a whole phase of chaos and redemption. Who knew a fight on a Helicarrier could have such long-lasting consequences?

So, next time you watch The Avengers, watch the background chatter. Because of what seems like random banter? It turns out it’s Marvel’s crystal ball for the later epicness.
