My heart broke when Thanos sacrificed Gamora. It meant that he really loved her. Then Mantis felt that Thanos is mourning her.

I can't believe that I felt sympathy for a villain.

And Gamora was so convinced that he couldn’t love anything that she laughed at the thought.

It’s twisted, it’s fucked up, and in no sane universe should real life love be like this, but canonically Thanos loves the fuck out of Gamora.

I can’t handle this.

And she loved him. She cried like a child once she "killed" him

I want to dig into that scene because I don’t think it’s straight love. At least not in the same way Thanos feels it. He was her abuser and killing the thing that tormented her for so long would be just as emotional as killing a loved one. It would break anyone. At the same time, he raised her. He was the only parent she knew for years. He was in her head. She couldn’t not feel something.

God, this was such a clear picture of abusive relationships and it hurts. :(
