10 Best Movie Title Drops Ever

7. Guardians Of The Galaxy

The Line: "You said it yourself, bitch. We're the Guardians Of The Galaxy."

In contrast to the previous MCU line, this one is both completely in character for Star-Lord, as well as being the perfect cap off to his arc overall, as well as the arcs of the guardians as a whole. This statement brings everything that James Gunn had been setting up to a brilliant closer, but one which sets the dynamic going forward.

This movie is all about broken, traumatised people learning to cope with their pain by sharing it with those who understand what they're going through, and in so doing learning to be better people and heroes.

The scene where the guardians all hold hands to share the energy of the power stone so Quill doesn't have to bear it alone encapsulates the sharing of pain part beautifully. But the line that Quill follows this act up with brings the second half of that theme to the forefront. They aren't just victims anymore, they have all decided to better themselves through each other, and use their gifts to protect others.

Because they're the Guardians Of The Galaxy.
