      I understand that "efficient" cinematic dialogue tuned to make sure none of the drunks in the back row gets wearing after a while I am a big brain nerd too, I also love the Coen Brothers, I used to be a frequently seen face in "black boxes" of various kinds

      And while a genius remains a genius whatever idiom they're writing in, clumsy derivative work remains the majority of what you see in any venue, unfortunately "Writing to avoid a cliché" IS A CLICHÉ The bag o' tricks to say a thing without saying it isn't that fucking deep

      Yeah, I can sit here too and think of maybe six or seven ways to say something like "What is grief but love persevering?" without actually saying it ("Like a slogan on a Hallmark card, barf") So can anyone who's come up through this kind of writing community

      The thing being, if you've done it a couple times, the trick to hide the sentiment is as obvious as the sentiment itself The ways people try to avoid the cliché become the new cliché There is no escaping the trap of self-consciousness over emotional vulnerability

      And the ability to sneak past someone's defenses and get them to care anyway even though "Ugh, I've been hearing that it's okay to cry at funerals since I saw it on Sesame Street when I was five, LAME" is a subtle thing for which words themselves are often not the best tool

      A big, big part of what makes this scene work is that in context it's about Vision being disarmingly sincere and guileless, that he is a being without insecurity over his own vulnerability and therefore without irony

      Which is part of Wanda's whole shtick, that she bounces back and forth between arch irony and aching earnestness just like the sitcoms she loves

      That Vision, for one thing, has a completely different energy and communication style than Pietro, who constantly hid his emotions behind his need to be an asshole at all times (which, because it was so consistent, Wanda could always see through)

      (Which was the whole deal with Fake Pietro He was trying to play this aspect of her real brother but he fucked up because he never drew a line around it because he isn't faking, he *really is* just an asshole Kind of a commentary on 2000s comedy falling down the irony hole)

          But anyway It is an intrinsic part of Wanda's character that she loves the old mawkish sentimentality of 1950s b/w sitcoms for start they are That's the whole premise Of course the man she fell in love with would be a guy who says Hallmark platitudes *and really means them*
