Fear Itself #4 (2011) by Matt Fraction, Stuart Immonen, Wade von Grawbadger, Laura Martin
Technically, the exact quote is: "You're gonna need a bigger boat." Made famous by the movie Jaws in 1975, delivered by Chief Brody as played by Roy Scheider. It even made #35 in the American Film Institute's top 100 movie quotes.
What makes this quote so memorable is that it is the first time the audience truly "sees" the film's monster, as the Shark rears its head unexpectedly, followed by an intensely slow scene and swelling background score. Perhaps it's appropriate, here, for Iron Man to be using this quote, the first time he sees … well, I'm not sure what he sees, exactly. The Serpent somehow raises a palace after making the levels of fear around the world hit a threshold, and the sky at some point goes all swirly-green… but if it were right outside Iron Man's window I couldn't tell ya.
Still, a famous movie quote that, while dated, remains in the public consciousness.
Thus:
Deadjoke-o-meter:
4 out of 5 Deadpools. (If only I can remember what that's supposed to mean.)
Your writers are enormously large.
