upon my most recent mcu binge, which is probably my fifth overall, i’ve decided that the prettiest marvel movies are as follows:

WANDAVISION EP 4 SPOILERS

okay so i like how movie emma smiled a lot bc i think she’s been alone and bullied for so long that she has to put on a brave happy face to get through it. like she got kicked out, has no friends, can’t be out with her girlfriend and said girlfriend’s mother is actively discriminating against her. like, i think it works well to have her deflect it with a happy face. and then the gang gets there and suddenly she has people on her side who like her and are fighting for her. and i think she smiles in just breathe bc she’s focusing on alyssa and their prom plan, and that’s what’s getting her through. and she smiles in alyssa greene bc she really thinks alyssa is gonna be on her side and go public with her, not to mention that she just loves her girlfriend, and it gives her hope. caitlin played stage emma as really grounded and anxious and more mellow, while jo ellen played movie emma as smiley, trying-to-get-through-day-by-day, and utterly in love w her girlfriend. it works with the character both ways
