Line 30: ** {{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~~, who knows how many other soldiers in various anti-Hydra operations,~~ and ''everyone he ever cared for'' since he was frozen and brought back to life. Despite their differences, Steve is trying really hard to sympathize with Tony and he knows that the latter's snide remarks about {{spoiler\|Coulson's death}} are only a "tough guy" front to avoid dealing with the pain. * 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".
