I know, right? I am pretty curious how different the marketing and fandom leading up to IW might have been if not for this leak. Right before we got that video we knew they were on set together, and everyone was just excited they were sharing a scene–I was guessing at this point Vision had just found Wanda, IIRC. Then BAM full on makeout!
I’m hoping it makes it’s way into an extended scene in the home release extras–what really stuck out to me was that Vision responds to Wanda after she says “I just feel you”.
There was also some extra stuff between Corvus and Proxima that was cut, which makes me wonder if they battle scene had more going on.
(This is the video paparazzi caught of Paul Bettany and Elizabeth Olsen filming the scene that’s being talked about)
Just like people willfully misinterpreted Cap’s
edict that “Every time someone tries to WIN a war before it starts,
innocent people die” as being the same as ‘people trying to STOP a war
before it starts’ now everyone is doing the same thing with “We don’t trade lives.”
That doesn’t mean
people never die fighting evil. It doesn’t mean we don’t sacrifice
ourselves for the greater good. It means we don’t let one of our
teammates give up their life until we’ve exhausted all other options.
Bruce even spelled it out when Vision tried to make a parallel with Steve’s sacrifice. He points out that Steve didn’t have a CHOICE at that point in time.
Cap wanted to make sure before they killed the person Wanda loved that they exhausted all other options. What a monster and hypocrite that makes him!
I’m sure if Steve had let Vision die there in Scotland, now everyone would be pointing out that he didn’t even try, that Shuri or Bruce could have helped.
SIGH.
I sit here dumbfounded. I honestly do not understand people who vilify Steve. He’s not a perfect man but he’s a good one and he tries so hard to do what’s right. Maybe those who are so damn critical of him should step back and think about all he’s been through and how little time he’s had to process everything. I love him so much and I just…I cannot stand the leaps and bounds people make to try and put marks against his character. ffs
I’m straight up shocked by how people apparently really thought no one would bat an eye at the idea of sacrificing someone. Like… Were you all really sitting in the theaters thinking a group of heroes in a Disney movie would just go “oh yeah kill yourself vision, and please do it fast so it doesn’t inconvenience us further, thanks”? Like, what the actual fuck. Steve isn’t even the only one who objects to killing Vision – if you’re gonna blame him for that you need to blame Bruce, Natasha, and even T’Challa and Shuri. Or you can just accept that good people don’t jump at the opportunity of letting an innocent person die.
Also, Vision is making a false comparison, not just because of the
third option Steve didn’t have, but because Vision isn’t sacrificing
HIMSELF, he’s asking Wanda to sacrifice him. It’s more like if Steve
found out there’s a way to deactivate all those bombs, but he had to
blow up the building Peggy was in.
