I love this scene SO MUCH because it’s such a beautiful encapsulation of Gamora’s TOTAL DAMAGE. Like.
She views intimacy as a threat that has to be shut down as soon as possible. She feels herself relax into being charmed by Peter, freezes in panic, and then wheels on him–the person who induced that horrified feeling of trust! and immediately threatens to kill him.
Contrast that with the Gamora of vol2, who is still very bad at trusting but is trying her hardest to find vulnerability without tensing up… in her own time. I love her. She is so fucked up and she knows it and I love her so, so much.
