    1. Gotta put a lot of faith in editors and sound designers to take what you do as an actor and make it absolutely hit, but it's insane that a scene like that was improvised so much.

    2. Goes to show that if you can make enough sense of the emotion of the character, you don't have to know all the technical stuff around it, because in that moment, it's not about a witch and an android, it's about two people who care for each other, and if you bring the right instincts to it, and trust that everyone else will do their part, the rest will follow.
      At the core of any of these stories, it's never about the powers and the magicks and the technology and all that stuff. That's all metaphor. What's at the center of it all is the human condition, even if that human condition is being experienced by someone who has only been some semblance of human for a short time.

    3. Dude, I never knew they IMPROVISED IT.
      The death of Gamora and Vision's death with him saying ''I just feel you''… they always rip me to shreds. And yeah, obviously Silvestri's score does wonders but Paul and specially Lizzie's acting just really makes that moment hit like a sledgehammer every single time.
