You see that he actually loved Gamora and it hurt him to his core to do what he did. That is a pretty forced scene. It was pointed out in the cinema sins episode of IW and its hard to disagree with them. Thanos goes to a planet of Gamoras people and randomly picks her out and says she has great strength and takes her under his wing. No real reason is given and the emotional connection is pretty weak so when he sacrafices her on the clifftop, theres little resonance in his supposed pain because the backstory is rushed. And its more strange she seems very shocked when he picks her as the thing he loves for his sacrafice. Im sure everyone in the audience knew straight away soon as Red Skull mentioned the cost of the gem that Thanos was sacrificing Gamora. Eh. I will allow that it would've helped if in GotG 2 if some more ambiguity of Thanos and the 2 step daughters relationship was shown. Like how Gamora and Nebula's relationship wasn't just villain vs hero in GotG 1 and 2. I thought Gamora breaking down when she thought she killed Thanos during Reality Stone scene helped show that she did care for him. (that helps show the relationship was completely horrible) I thought the way the CGI was captured and shown of Thanos during the scene had a grievous/haunting look. Well as much as you can get at the point we are now with CGI capture. Which I got to say they are getting real well with it. After seeing it more than a few times, I still find the scene works. It doesn't capture emotion as much as Thanos' last scene were he is content, grieving, lost, and happy in the sun, though. |
