The Infinity War Commentary + Bruce x Natasha
[Please skip this if youâre not sympathetic to the OTP.]Â
After about a half dozen listens to the Infinity War Commentary with the writers (Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely) and the directors (Joe and Anthony Russo), here is what was said during the Bruce and Natasha reunion scene:
Just as Bruce speaks, one of the writers says, "And here we have just a taste of a reunion."
The four commenters are quiet and let the two actors deliver their lines (which is nice because they yaked over most of the film), and then Joe Russo (I think) says, "Things are just moving too fast for love." đ¨â¤ď¸đ¤đđ
Pardon me, but son of a beeotch! Could they not have said that during a US interview instead of burying it in a Vietnamese newspaper and making us wait for the freaking commentary??? Their whole attitude was, we have no time for fan service or character development unless itâs absolutely necessary to the 100-mile-a-minute plot.
At one point before the reunion scene, the four of them discussed how theyâd done several scenes to âmisdirectâ the audience then they started talking about how much fun it was to âmisdirectâ fans all the time. They all had a good laugh at that. The whole Iowa City interview (and others) were pretty much just that, BIG, FAT, STINKING MISDIRECTIONS. In other words, they admit they are all just trolls when it comes to dealing with fans, especially American ones. They donât seem to get the fan community is not one big spoiler-hungry monolith or that what the four of them say causes fans and actors a ton of grief because we have to deal with the rabid elements within the fan community.Â
Speaking of trolling and rabid elements, at no point in the commentary is there a single mention of Steve and Nat being together. Nothing. At. All. The âRabidogersâ who have been saying there was something to substantiate their non-canon MCU ship are lying in an attempt to create propaganda. Donât worry about it. As always, they are just blowing smoke and making "fake news" since they have zero good news on the Commentary. Remember, these are the deluded folks who brought you the brilliant brain fart that Thanos is an abortionist and Steve has magic seaman. Sorry, their gross and squicky âtheory,â not mine. Letâs just stay in our lane and try not to stare at the impending wreck when they hit the reality barrier next May. Schadenfreude, anyone?Â
