This must be Cape Anna Lighthouse, Dorma – it gives me an idea – we can start our crusade right here – you see, if we demolish this light, it will endanger many ships, and perhaps destroy them! – It will be ourfirstmove!
Those robots [Ev Carley and Rod Nelson in diving suits] – they can't be men! Why, they're mechanical – and so ponderous – yet they're shaped like men, and certainly they're not fish – I wonder ... One of them had some kind of fire-weapon – I'd better get out of here!
Everything dies. You. Me. Everyone on this planet. Our sun. Our galaxy, and, eventually, the universe itself. This is simply how things are. It's inevitable... and I accept it. What I will not tolerate -- what I find unacceptable -- is going quietly, like some mewling child, before my time. There is something out there, coming for us, trying to kill us all -- and I would do to it what it would do to us. Brothers. Sisters. All the angels have fallen, and we devils are all that remains... so I ask you... will you help me kill worlds?
Oh please. How much longer will you pretend to care about Scott Summers? You are the woman so brash as to name herself queen. You deserve a king. A leader of men. Not a boy playling at being soldier.
You are not a god! You are not an immortal! You are the royal subject of a king, and your king demands that you stop this madness now!! ALL OF IT! You will stop this, you will leave this universe and you will not come back!
I vow to be true to the name of Namor, which means "avenging son"! I shall never rest till the insolent human race has paid for its crimes against our people! Now rise, and pledge me your hearts, your hands, your lives!
No longer can I stand! The mighty Sub-Mariner is helpless..! This cannot be the way it shall end! Not for this was I born a prince! And yet...The darkness is stealing over my brain...The shadows begin to engulf me...!
In the name of Father Neptune, now does Namor the First, Prince of Atlantis, Emperor of the Deep, Lord of the Seven Seas and Supreme Commander of the undersea legions, duly proclaim for all to witness... the victory is truly mine! Let no man deny that Namor is, and ever shall be, Prince of the Blood!
Brief though life be... and though a needless death is a crime against the very universe... man is ever noblest when he lives by ideals! Without them, though he possess even the intellect of the Thinker himself... he is but a beast... reaching vainly for the stars...!
I must go myself to the swirling Sargasso! For I have vowed to find Tiger Shark, if he still lives! An, though no one has ever survived alone in that sea -- Tiger Shark is like no other!
And so it ends, my lady-- an alliance of three titans, than might have altered the course of history! But perhaps we shall meet again one day-- perhaps--!
Do they think they deal with one as brainless as the lumbering Hulk? They know they cannot drive me from this isle without totally destroying it-----and all they have built upon it.
You may have joined your fellow surface-men in attacking Hiram Dobbs, Iron Man, but you've e'er been a noble foe in the past. And you deserve a noble death!
This holy war has just begun. And we will not misstep as we have in the past. No more armies hitting the beach. No more invasions. Let the air-breathers have their mounds of dirt and blackened skies. We fight for the seas, and those who called them home. The surface world has their Avengers. Now we have the Defenders of the Deep.
So, Captain--it is all right to infiltrate my country and battle the forces of fascism......but it is wrong to fight the same evil in your own land? Then I will do it without you!
Lucky. We were indeed lucky, this night. And Ramona Fischer -- wherever you are, whoever you are -- I have felt the depth of your young man's regard for you. I do not know whether you will reciprocate, once you know of it. But I hope that you will treasure it. For tonight...it was enough to save a world.
All I know is that I'm aware of something now that looking back I wish I'd seen at the time. When we were the Invaders of World War II, I was the team's might and Steve, the strategist and natural leader, was its brain. You were the heart, Jim.
Let it be known, I take full responsibility for everything I've unleashed. I do not regret my actions, but I understand the weight of them. But I fear I'm... losing control. The Cabal are rapid dogs, and I can no longer hold their leash. I'm ready to do what we must... I'm ready to finish this.
I refuse to recognize Tony Stark's authority. I am in YOUR custody until a more proper authority presents itself. Let's say Susan Richards and the Fantastic Four, but I'm flexible.
...Perhaps I am not the Namor you knew. Perhaps I am the menace now, the threat to all you hold dear. But if so, I do not care. And I will tell you this: Get out of my way -- or I'll leave you broken and bleeding in my wake.
Ha! Haha hahaha haha! And perhaps the Phoenix has forgotten all about you. Out of sight, out of mind, yes? Perhaps all the monsters have given up and gone away -- so that the two of us can live happily ever after. Perhaps all is truly well. But I think we both know better. I think we both can agree -- that once a monster has your scent -- the beast will never stop coming. Until at least one of you is dead in the water.
I was mistaken when I said it made no difference on which side I fought. You have convinced me otherwise -- with your mad ranting of a 'master race' and 'subhumans.' Earlier tonight, I weakened -- and let this U-boat live to fight again. I will not make that mistake a second time!
The surface has developed creatures and men with great power! They will attempt to destroy not only Atlantis, but Vodan as well! I will not allow it! We can't allow it!
I know how this sounds. Like I'm a puppet. But... I'm a puppet to my own mind, to an unconscious savior. I may not have solely come up with this plan to save the world, but I know, deep in my heart... it's a good plan. It will save the world... I need you to understand this.
Are you listening to yourselves? Tony Stark is the most irritating lung-man I have ever met. But he is, in his own way, as regal as either of the true princes of blood with you here today. And you would insult him by offering him charity? If Stark cannot defeat his inner demons, what good is he against alien invasions and super-powered megalomaniacs? What good will he be to we who have sworn to defend this Earth? If Tony Stark succeeds in pulling himself out of the gutter, he will be stronger than ever before. And if he fails...He was not worthy to sit among us in the first place. Either way, this road of trials that faces him now...He must walk down alone.
Logomancer-- our people are in danger of extinction, and this New Atlantis we're building...it means a great deal to me. It may be my last chance at redemption. This is my city. And I won't let it be destroyed by creatures that died long before we were born. ... You didn't hear that. The 'redemption' part.
Lowly beast! Your allies made this happen! It was your help that let them get so close to ending the world! Launched from my domain! I've upheld my word to Rogers, the threat is over. Now you will face the judgment of the deep!
Unlike my predecessors, Loa, I can no longer neglect matters beyond the walls of Atlantis. The era of emperors is gone. It's time to make something new. I have a kingdom to build, battles to fight. And a life I intend to live to the fullest. But like you, I will first pause to consider what has happened today. All that I have learned...and all that's been lost.
I learned something, down in Hell. My destiny is not written in stone, and as long as I remember that I have allies...I will prevail against Krang. I will always prevail.
The sea should boil with the righteous fury of Namor the Sub-Mariner. I should be angry. But I'm not. I was warned that someone would be coming for the hammers. I expected my one-time ally, Valkyrie. I hoped to talk some sense into her. Instead, I find you -- the one who unleashed hell on all the world...the one who brought destruction to my kingdom. So I'm not angry. I'm glad. I'm glad it's you.
And so it was set. I remember the pride I felt. And the certainty-- the absolute certainty... this was going to be amazing! It was all so long ago. And now-- now-- I do not like to think of what will come next.
Everything dies. You. Me. Everyone on this planet. Our sun. Our galaxy, and, eventually, the universe itself. This is simply how things are. It's inevitable... And I accept it. What I will not tolerate-- what I find unacceptable-- is going quietly, like some mewling child, before my time. There is something out there, coming for us, trying to kill us all-- And I would do to it what it would do to us. Brothers. Sisters. All the angels have fallen, and we devils are all that remains... So I ask you... Will you help me kill worlds?

Let no man deny that Namor is, and ever shall be, Prince of the Blood!
This holy war has just begun. And we will not misstep as we have in the past. No more armies hitting the beach. No more invasions. Let the air-breathers have their mounds of dirt and blackened skies. We fight for the seas, and those who called them home. The surface world has their Avengers. Now we have the Defenders of the Deep.
Stare as death closely, Sunfire! Each of your "enemies" is a person... Even as you an I! You fight for "victory" and for "honor"! Yet is there "honor" in merciless murder or "victory" in the destruction of the entire Earth?
How do you do it, Namor? How do you bury the part of you that was good and noble so deep that all that remains is this? Some shell of the man you used to be.
Look at them, T'Challa-- flying off to save the unsaveable. The good and noble, warring against the inevitable. Is that us? Is that what you think we are? You might have been right at one time. Maybe I was that man once. Maybe you were as well. But then we both lost our people, and our kingdoms crumbled. Even now, while we do what we must to keep the things we love alive, we become everything they hate. Do you know what you bury deep, my friend? Things that have died. Who is this Namor, the good and noble? No man I know.
"It matters." The way you people talk about your lives-- Like they mean something... "It matters."
I am the greatest man I know... But compared to this, I'm nothing. Just as you... are nothing. Am I the only man here with the courage of his convictions... Or am I the only one with conviction at all?
These lines you won't cross... These things you won't do... They shame you. How dare any of you put yourself--your damned morals--above the lives of every living thing? The truth is, you people aren't worth that... And neither am I. Our lives are a pittance. A petty, small nothing...
While we were in New Atlantis, I took the liberty of conjuring a more...aggressive version of Belial's Beckoning. I put the call out to Defenders, Secret Defenders, even those who were only Defenders for a Day... Pretty much everyone. And I didn't take 'no' for an answer.
Stand quietly everyone, or I shall kill you all! 
This must be Cape Anna Lighthouse, Dorma – it gives me an idea – we can start our crusade right here – you see, if we demolish this light, it will endanger many ships, and perhaps destroy them! – It will be our first move!
