Infinity war literally destroyed my heart oh my goddddddd

I just got back from watching it again! Oh my god, it’s even more emotional the second time. The preparation only breaks your heart more. I noticed some new things!

  • When Wanda hops Vision and her up to the roof, Vision pushes her away last second as Proxima comes in and takes the hit.
  • Vision loves kissing her hands. I think he does it at least once in every major scene they’re in.
  • When Wanda’s expression changes after Vision asks if they can stay together, Vision responds ‘Or not, if I’m overstepping myself…’ This is such a sweet development for him! He recognizes the nuances of Wanda’s feelings now, and he accommodates them. Vision was never trying to control Wanda.
  • You know how the late Englehart Vision got almost shockingly human to show how he’s grown as a person? I love how the MCU variant of this is him being a stuttery, enthusiastic nerd when it comes to Wanda.
  • Adding to the Thanos and Wanda parallels, Gamora’s last words (and last words to Thanos) are: “This isn’t love”. Vision’s are “I love you”.
  • I missed how often and how sadly Cap looked at Vision and Wanda together. He really felt for them!
  • I’m curious what the scenario is of Vision’s “stolen moments” with Wanda. Tony says Vision turned off his transponder two weeks ago–he says it like it’s an abnormal occurrence and he definitely doesn’t know where Vision is. So Vision doing so isn’t normal. Does this mean he was planning so early to ask to stay with Wanda?
  • As the Mind Stone starts to break, one of the first cracks that forms on his face runs down from his eye like a tear.
