“That was a line that was something else, and I can’t remember what it was,” Elizabeth Olsen says during a panel at Space Con 2025. “Paul was like, ‘I think we really need to figure out this line. I feel like there’s something we’re missing.’ And then he and the showrunner’s assistant really landed on that line.”
“[Jac Schaeffer’s] assistant walked in with a coffee, and I can’t remember what I had got to,” Paul Bettany says. “It was like, ‘What is grief, if not love, something.’ And she came in and said, ‘Persevering.’ And we were like, ‘That’s it.’ I get lots of love for that line, but when you watch it, you’ll see that the entire thing actually plays on Lizzie’s face.”
And the poor assistant doesnt even get name credit for the line, she’s “the assistant” in their retellings
That was a banger line. You can use it in any context.
I remember being so moved by that line, I was thinking about it for the next 3 days. Vision can really hit deep
