Two small figures, a man holding a boy, kneel together on the dusty orange ruins of an alien world as ash drifts up.

Peter Parker

Mr. Stark, I don't feel so good.

— Avengers: Infinity War • 2018

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

It is the moment the Snap stops being an abstract threat: a kid, a mentor and an apology. Tom Holland's frightened delivery made it the film's emotional peak, and the first half of the line became shorthand for the worst kind of goodbye, quoted when someone leaves or something collapses. Tony's silence afterwards sets up his arc in Endgame.

Avengers: Infinity War (2018), on the planet Titan. After Thanos has gathered the stones and snapped his fingers, the survivors on Titan begin to fade. Peter Parker feels it first and tells Tony Stark he does not feel so good. Tony says he is all right, but Peter stumbles and panics, saying he does not know what is happening and he does not want to go. He drops into Tony's arms apologising, and turns to ash. Nebula, standing nearby, says "He did it."
