For those of you who don’t know, “I love you 3,000” is a quote from Avengers: Endgame. It’s particularly adorable because it’s said by a little girl, and three thousand is probably the largest number she can imagine.

Thank you for providing additional context. I didn't know that one. But why did she say a number at all?

Is it something to do with "I love you 4ever" "I love you 5ever"?

It's one upping.

I love you I love you two I love you three thousand (that number's too big, can't beat that one)

Why? Just a little kid being a kid.

She had said something like “I love you two hundred” to her mom, and her dad was joking with mom about it.
