Q.
Wakanda Forever! Now is as good a time as ever to get re-steeped in the MCU. Which words do key Avengers characters say most?

.

A.
Someone has, of course, done the math. In 2018, data scientists Dr. Elle O’Brien and Matt Winn analyzed scripts and character word counts for the then three most recent Marvel movies: The Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Captain America: Civil War. They were looking for the ‘units of log odds ratio’ or the tendency of characters to say certain words more than their Avenger counterparts.
