18 Most Heartbreaking Moments In The MCU (So Far)

17. Thor's Loss

Another of the few non-death scenes on the list, but related to the many deaths Thor (and the audience) had to experience over the years, Thor talking to Rocket in Infinity War about his personal losses strikes a painful chord, especially with how hard Thor tries to smile through all of it.

When Rocket asks whether Thor is ready to take on Thanos in his state, Thor remarks on how he lost his brother, his father, his mother, his hammer, and his home. He even jokes about how all this loss helps motivate him to destroy Thanos once and for all.

His inability to keep his voice from shaking, the tears forming in his eyes, and his last words, however, all lend to the tragedy of the moment:

"What more could I lose?"

Despite his spirited nature, the fact that Thor has lost all that he loves is made all the clearer in this moment, telling the audience in no uncertain terms that Thor was prepared to die holding his brother's lifeless body on that ship, and that the only thing keeping him around is his mission to take Thanos out along with him.
