"We're just stories to you."
MCU || Watching the Clips

"We're just stories to you. We're not real. You watch us fight, win, lose. Tell me, did you make popcorn while Ultron murdered my friends and burned my world to the ground?"

"You are more than that to me."

"Are we?"

"You, your stories, they are everything to me."

summary...

"I can't."

"Interfere? Yeah, I know."

The Watcher knows his actions could have an undesired effect, but the Avengers need to see the consequences of their choices - personal or otherwise. Even the hard truths they tend to avoid. The universe is in peril, and he needs to try an salvage the broken team.

The Watcher broke his oath once.

He can do it again.
