What are some quotes/scenes in the MCU that are directly from the comics?

Never read the comics but am curious how much of the actual comics make it into the movies if that makes sense?

Are there seemingly unimportant side characters in the MCU that actually have big roles in the comics? Is there a deeper meaning to something that seems trivial in the MCU? Did the MCU rewrite an important scene from the comics but completely mess it up?

Those kind of things.

The scene with antman on haweyes arrow is a direct copy to a cover of a comic.

When steve and tony clashes on the end of civil war is a direct panel of the civil war comic.

The asian woman that is under influence of the mind stone to help ultron is the mother of amadeus cho. Who is the 7th smartest person in the comic.

The new boyfriend betty ross has in the incridible hulk is doc samson. Who plays a very big rol in some n
Hulk and avengers comic.

The scene from love and thunder where thor is staring at this big dead creature is a direct panel from the jason aaron thor run.

The scene in thunderbolts where valentina and bob are talking is almost a copy from the dark avengers. Only it is norman osbourne instead of valentina.

I am sure there is many more

Yeah, id say MCU is more likely to pull visuals from the comics than quotes or lines

In Winter Soldier, during Peggy's funeral. the speech about "standing by the river of truth, and say No! You move!" Is lifted from the comics.

...wait, was that in civil war?

CaptHayfever2025-12-12 18:06

That was in Civil War, yes. Steve says it in the comic, Sharon in the movie (though Sharon is quoting Peggy).

The list is too long to scratch the surface.

Scenes from tons of movies are lifted directly from comic panels.

Steve saying "Hail Hydra" in Endgame

Tony and Steve fighting at the end of Civil Was is from a cover page

The movies don't follow the comics very closely. There are obviously things that are used as inspiration, but very little direct adaptation. And there have been numerous side characters in the movies and shows that are much more fleshed out in comics. But that's just a matter of being realistic about logistics. There are hundreds of comic issues published each year, but just a handful of movies and shows. There's just no way to adequately have every character be faithfully adapted. So sometimes they're just a one-off character, others they use their name for a random supporting role.

That one scene where Spiderman is swinging from a web is taken from a comic book of his where he swung from a web.

as someone that didn't read the comics until somewhat recently, if you love the characters and lore I cannot recommend them enough. I use Marvel Unlimited to follow reading guides and be able to pick up where I left off on my devices, but I highly recommend the King in Black run and Thor God of Thunder. (It is the series the thunder and lightning movie was based off of and it is way way way more interesting than the movie.

I have said today that RDJ got the role of my favorite comic book hero and I know most of the dialog was made up during the shoot but if you read Iron Man he was the same snarky asshole genius as Tony Stark was portrayed as.

Yeah, there were some differences but they did capture the character.

Flame on!

"When the whole world is asking you to move, it's your duty to plant yourself like a tree and say, 'No, you move.'"

Said by Peggy in the MCU, said by Steve in the comics.

Also, Cap saying "Hail Hydra" in Endgame is kind of a funny twist on Cap saying the same thing in the comics.

Plus_Cranberry_12122025-12-15 17:07

I swear Sharon(🤢)said it too

Fit_Definition_46342025-12-15 21:34

Sharon is the one who actually says it in the movies (Captain America: Civil War) but she attributes it to Peggy.

No_Imagination_24902025-12-12 18:21

The Hawkeye series was heavily inspired by the Fraction/Aja run in the comics. The confrontation with the Tracksuit Mafia on the bridge was a scene in the comic, but Clint defeats them using a boomerang arrow rather than a Pym particle arrow. The Dodge Challenger the Tracksuits use in the chase is also a direct reference to Clint's car in the comics.

The LARPers are a reworking of the apartment residents.

Koopacha2025-12-12 19:12

The part in infinity war where the hulk crashes into the sanctum sanctorum and warns dr strange about thanos is from the comics, except in the original it’s the silver surfer not the hulk

BambooSound2025-12-12 19:42

What are we? Some kinda Suicide Squad?

theknyte2025-12-12 19:52

In Deadpool and Wolverine, a couple of the Universes Deadpool visited looking for a Wolverine, were directly from classic comic covers.

In Spider-Man: Homecoming, Peter struggling to lift the debris he's trapped under is directly from the Lee/Ditko comic "If This Be My Destiny...!"

The simplest answer is nearly all of it but at the same time almost none of it. Some of the origin broad strokes are the same, and a bunch of story beats, conflict ideas & things that people say are cribbed from the comics, but for the most part a lot of the MCU is a unique rewrite that borrows bits from both the classic 616 comic universe and the Ultimate 1610 comic universe.

bigbluemofo2025-12-12 23:15

The scene when Skurge is fighting Hela’s forces with the two machine guns at the end of Thor: Ragnarok is lifted directly out of Walt Simonson’s run.

The pleasant, solitary farm homestead that Thanos "retires" to is pretty much identical to where he goes off to after the events of the Infinity Gauntlet comic.

Though it's admittedly for very different reasons, because Jim Starlin (creator of Thanos and writer of the original Infinity Trilogy) had a whole plan mapped out for the next few years of the character.

Not to get too deep into spoilers, but after failing in his attempt with the Gauntlet in the comics, he needed to be somewhere peaceful and alone for a few reasons, some of which aren't made entirely clear until a short time before Infinity War.

In the movies, there's nothing really more to it other than "my job's done, I'm off to bask in the peace of my farm world".

Both endings work well because they fit the different motivations that comics Thanos and MCU Thanos have.

AmConfused3242025-12-13 05:17

If you don’t mind my asking of a follow up question… how do cap and Bucky know each other in the comics? I’m under the (possibly very wrong) impression that MCU Bucky is a combination of Bucky Barnes and Arnie Roth so I’m curious

XandyCandyy2025-12-13 19:40

the mcu origin story for their friendship is accurate, i believe the only major difference is that mcu has them both from queens, comics only has steve from queens

makemyribsaxylophone2025-12-16 01:29

In the original comics, Bucky is a child. He’s orphaned and staying at Camp Lehigh. His dad was in the military. Cap basically takes him under his wing after Bucky figures out Steve is Cap. He was essentially Marvel’s counterexample to Hitler’s Youth. Bucky did a lot of the fighting as a child and did a lot of the spy stuff, a lot of the sneaking behind enemy lines, the stuff Cap couldn’t do because he was in the public eye. Bucky “died” in the war, falling from a plane (not a train) but comes back as the Winter Soldier in Ed Brubaker’s famous Captain America run.

AmConfused3242025-12-16 04:31

Oooo thank you!! So his backstory in the MCU is still similar just cutting out the childhood friend thing. I think I’m gonna take the leap and get the marvel app subscription to start reading the comics.

makemyribsaxylophone2025-12-16 04:37

You should! There are so many cool stories. The Marvel app has reading guides in it but the Marvel subreddit has a wiki that does a great job of telling you where to start based on your favorite character. But it’s also just fun to poke around and see what you land on.

Euphoric_Passage15452025-12-14 05:08

The Thing about comic films a lot of the time is they rarely directly adapt stories. They’ll take elements and visuals but full lines are rare. The exception are graphic novel adaptions like the works of Alan more and Frank Miller, kick ass as well.

That’s actually why I’m kinda excited for the supergirl movie because it’s a very clear adaption of the woman of tomorrow story beyond just lifting characters and that’s rare to see with mainstream comics (though it’s not abnormal being a graphic novel like the others)

atomcrafter2025-12-14 09:19

Vision's speech in Civil War comes from Wonder Man when he tried to forcefully disband the Avengers and New Avengers by attacking them with his Revengers team.

Also, it's Wonder Man who Wanda recreated from nothing.

atomcrafter2025-12-14 09:25

In the comics: Hulk fights the Silver Surfer in the gladiator pit.
In the animated movie: Hulk fights Beta Ray Bill.
In Thor: Ragnarok: Hulk fights Thor, and the perspective is flipped.

atomcrafter2025-12-14 09:35

Scott's group of ex-con friends are new characters, but they take the narrative place of Machinesmith and Grizzly (established villains for Captain America and Spider-Man) in the Ant-Man run the movie pulls from.

Hope is a combination of Red Queen (Hank's villainous daughter in the MC2 alternate universe) and Beetle (Tombstone's daughter, attorney, flying armored criminal, and Scott's love interest in that same run).

scottyjrules2025-12-14 16:45

When Ebony Maw presents Thanos with one of the infinity stones, his lines are directly from the Infinity Gauntlet comic, but in the comic it was Mephisto who said it.

Defiant-Band45732025-12-14 23:44

In Love and Thunder, the last two shots of Jane at the gates of Valhalla match the comic. The panel in the comic has Jane in the foreground and Valhalla in the background. The only difference is that it is Odin who tells Jane, "Welcome to Valhalla." The next panel is a close-up on jane and she is silent.

Secret Wars is likely to feature a major deviation. In the comic, Jane Foster's Mighty Thor infiltrates the Thor Corps to turn them against Doom. I would be surprised if Jane shows up in even a cameo.

The Thor movies have used several of the storylines from the Mighty Thor run. In the comics, the Destroyer was sent by Odin to bring the hammer and Mighty Thor's dead body back to Asgard.

In Ragnarok, the creature that Thor used to defeat Hela by destroying Asgard was the Mangog in the comics. It was the last foe Jane fought before she died.
