Little known indie flick Avengers: Endgame continues to attract more and more fan theories every day.

Warning: Major Endgame spoilers ahead my good friends. 

One of the cutest but also most devastating lines in Avengers: Endgame is when Tony Stark’s daughter Morgan tells her father “I love you 3000”, a line that gets repeated later in the film under much more somber circumstances.

But what does it mean? This Twitter user might have cracked the case, putting forward the theory that 3000 is the rough sum of the running times for all the Marvel movies that have come prior.

Mind. Blown. Sure, it could be a massive coincidence but that is some very fun use of maths.

There’s another popular theory that is even more upsetting. During the scene when Tony puts Morgan to bed, he first says “I love you tons,” and she replies “I love you 3000”. A ton is 2000 pounds therefore Morgan is saying she loves him even greater than a ton.

The emotions! It hurts!

Knowing what we know happens at the end of Avenger: Endgame, I am very much not okay.
