Line 1:
{{work}}{{Heartwarming}}
* Nick Fury referring to Coulson as his one good eye.
** {{spoiler|Hawkeye, actually, or in addition to -- he was the one Fury trusted to keep watch over the Tesseract, after all.}}
Line 14 ⟶ 13:
** Even better is later, where Banner is seen driving off with Stark and has apparently taken the job.
* When Tony arrives to the first briefing on the helicarrier, he walks in with Coulson and ends their conversation with "...pick a weekend and I'll fly you out to Portland." Tony gives Phil a lot of grief, yet he still offers to let Coulson use his own personal jet to visit his girlfriend.
* The scene with Tony Stark talking to Bruce Banner about the arc reactor has me near (heartwarming) tears just thinking about it. Tony compares the arc reactor keeping the shrapnel out of his heart and Bruce's transformation into the Hulk, both emergency lifesaving responses to horrific accidents: the arc reactor and the Hulk are all that kept Tony and Bruce alive, in exchange for the "terrible privilege" of [[Cursed
** ''Why this makes me cry:'' For the first time, someone offers the admittedly-suicidal Bruce hope for a purpose in life that's not just "Maybe you'll find a cure someday." And this is ''Tony Stark,'' of all people, serving as a mentor, as [[The Atoner]] like Bruce. The universe's most cynical [[Deadpan Snarker]] is telling poor Bruce, whose life has been hell, that [[You Are Better Than You Think You Are]].
** ''Why this makes me cry harder:'' In the final battle, Tony surprises Steve by asking if Banner has joined them yet. But Tony never doubts that Bruce will come through. {{spoiler|Bruce does come through... and as the Hulk, he saves Tony's life.}}
Line 30 ⟶ 29:
** {{spoiler|Made even more heartwarming when you remember that Cap had been having trouble sleeping at the beginning of the movie, what with the PTSD flashbacks and the fact that everyone he knew before is either really old or long dead. And then you see him here, passed out on his fist at his end of the table. The others are all at least attempting to eat, but [[Iron Woobie|poor Steve]] is finally getting some rest}}.
* After {{spoiler|Agent Coulson's death,}} Tony is berating him for his foolishness in {{spoiler|standing up to Loki where he knew he was outmatched and dying because of it}}. What makes this heartwarming is that Tony is clearly upset and visibly fighting back tears (Props go to Robert Downey Jr. for this performance as well) showing that he's just trying to rationalize the death of someone he truly liked.
** Then Cap tries to console him by likening it to "losing a soldier." From his perspective, it's only been a few subjective weeks since he, himself, lost his best friend in a mission
*** Which Tony then responds to with "We are ''not'' soldiers!" Which reminds us that, for all his personal power, Tony is a private civilian who hasn't had the training, the emotional readiness, or the need to desensitize himself towards death... and that he considered {{spoiler|Coulson a friend, a silly government stooge, a partner}}... but not a soldier that could be expended in war.
* Thor defending Loki when Bruce calls him crazy. Actually, Thor and Loki's whole relationship throughout the movie, however subtly touched upon. Loki tried to kill Thor and threatened his girlfriend, yet even after all this, Thor is the only member of the team to try and reason with Loki - even at the very end, when he tells his brother that they can stop the army "together".
Line 38 ⟶ 37:
* The film's ending, {{spoiler|where we see the Avengers parting on good terms, Fury assuring that they'll come together again when the world needs to be avenged, and finally, Tony making certain modifications to the Stark Tower.}}
* The old security guard played by {{spoiler|Harry Dean Stanton}} giving Bruce some clothes and being as kind and understanding as any ordinary person has been about his "condition."
* And in real life, [https://web.archive.org/web/20131117065417/http://www.g33kwatch.com/movies/story-of-a-five-year-old-avenger-meeting-the-avengers/ this story] about this kid's best day ever.
* Thor calling Earth "The world I love."
* Tony giving Steve an indignant glare when he called the Stark Tower "ugly." Sure it may have offended his pride, but he wasn't the one who designed it. Pepper did.
Line 45 ⟶ 44:
* At the very end of the film, just before the credits, there's a slow zoom away from Tony's now-trashed tower, where the large STARK sign has been reduced to just a familiar "A."
