Thor then challenges her with this quote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These words express the idea that being a hero isn't about having physical strength or special abilities. Instead, what's important is being brave enough to face challenges and deal with problems directly and without fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_%E2%80%9CJust_because_something_works_doesnt_mean_it_cant_be_improved%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><strong>3. &#8220;Just because something works doesn&#8217;t mean it can&#8217;t be improved.&#8221;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Film: <em>Black Panther<\/em> \/ Spoken by: Shuri<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shuri is the younger sister of T'Challa, the Black Panther. She is also a talented scientist and one of the most intelligent characters in the MCU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When showing her brother new equipment she's developed, T'Challa responds by saying the older versions work fine. As a scientist, Shuri rejects this idea and instead believes that improvements can always be made.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if things are already \"<a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/blog\/language-tips\/how-to-use-enough-as-an-adjective-pronoun-and-adverb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">good enough<\/a>,\" if we don't work to do better, we can never make progress. This quote should be very inspirational for English learners!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. \"He may have been your father ... but he wasn't your daddy.\"<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Film: <em>Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2<\/em> \/ Spoken by: Yondu<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many English learners may think that \"father\" and \"dad\" (or \"daddy\") are the same. But this quote shows that one word includes much more meaning than the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hero of this film, Peter Quill, struggles with his feelings about two important men in his life. One is his <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/words\/word\/biological\/gGBY2u3DR2-VvliUPfgOew\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">biological<\/a> father, meaning the two share the same blood. However, this man was gone for most of Peter's life, so the two don't have a close relationship.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Yondu is the man who raised Peter and helped him to grow. Although he isn't related to Peter by blood, he's had a much bigger impact on Peter's life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This quote, therefore, shows that \"dad\" includes a feeling of closeness that \"father\" often does not. It also demonstrates that it's the experiences we share with others that determine who our true \"family\" is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(By the way, the differences between \"father\" and \"dad\" also apply to <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/blog\/language-tips\/english-mothers-day-messages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\"mother\" and \"mom.\"<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. \"Vengeance has consumed you ...

But when he finds them, he has seen the negative effects revenge, or vengeance, has had on himself and on others around him. As he says, it has \"consumed\" them, or covered them completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Negative emotions like anger and the desire for revenge will eventually hurt us and result in even more trouble. To live the best lives we can, we need to free ourselves from these unhealthy feelings and replace them with positive ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Related article: <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/blog\/language-tips\/angry-synonyms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Flipping Out: 13 Ways to Express Anger in English<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_%E2%80%9CI_cant_control_their_fear_only_my_own%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><strong>6. &#8220;I can&#8217;t control their fear, only my own.&#8221;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Film: <em>Captain America: Civil War<\/em> \/ Spoken by: Wanda Maximoff<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third Captain America film begins with a tragedy that many in the public blame on the character of Wanda Maximoff. Their anger is mixed with fear of her strange abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After entering a depression, Wanda eventually decides that she can no longer let others' feelings about her control her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There will always be people who have negative opinions about us.

Fancy items, money and status cannot be a replacement for who we truly are inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_%E2%80%9CWhat_is_grief_if_not_love_persevering%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><strong>9. &#8220;What is grief if not love persevering?&#8221;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>TV series: <em>WandaVision<\/em> \/ Spoken by: Vision<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(This quote comes from <em>WandaVision<\/em>, a television series that is also part of the MCU.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When someone \"<a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/words\/word\/persevere\/g21GjI3PSZW9wObVMf7hVg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">perseveres<\/a>,\" they continue doing something even though it's difficult and there is little chance of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wanda, whom we mentioned earlier, experiences many difficulties throughout the MCU. One of the biggest relates to a character named Vision, who she has a very close relationship with. As Wanda deals with her <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/words\/word\/grief\/zga0ELstQmCjlQAAAAnBVg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">grief<\/a>, Vision encourages her with these words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be easy to give up when we face tough situations, but grief doesn't have to stop us from continuing to live well. It also expresses that our love for the people close to us can live on even if those people are gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10. \"With great power comes great responsibility.\" - Uncle Ben<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is perhaps the most famous quote in Marvel's history. Although it isn't spoken in the MCU, it's closely connected to Spider-Man, who does appear in the films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Peter Parker first receives his amazing abilities, he uses them selfishly. But this selfishness results in the death of Uncle Ben, the most important person in Peter's life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From this moment, Peter accepts that having his special power comes with a price: He must use it to protect and help the people he can.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The choices we make can have very big effects \u2014 and the more power we have, the bigger the effects can be. So we must always be careful to act with care and compassion for the people our actions influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Assemble\"><\/span><strong>Assemble!<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the fights and big explosions, many films in the MCU have strong characters and themes that can entertain us while also giving us interesting things to think about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you've never seen an MCU film, why not give one a try? And if you have seen one, try rewatching it in English to help improve your listening and vocabulary skills. It's a fun way to learn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more great English quotes, check out the following articles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/blog\/language-tips\/popular-movie-quotes-used-in-daily-conversation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Popular Movie Quotes Used in Daily Conversation<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/blog\/travel-fun\/20-short-english-quotes-for-quick-motivation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">20 Short English Quotes for Quick Motivation<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For nearly 20 years, the MCU has entertained movie fans around the world with stories of heroes in strange and exciting adventures.
