About

What Did It Cost? Everything refers to an exploitable object labeling series of image macros taken from Avengers: Infinity War in which young Gamorra asks "What did it cost?" and Thanos replies "Everything." The scene has been edited such that either the dialogue has been changed to reflect a different kind of deal, and or the characters have been labeled to change what the characters are talking about.
