Simon and Maddie share a special, nearly once in a millennium punch in of bond.
Well, according to the series, the reasoning behind it all was their strong personal connection.
Not only are they best friends, but it’s clear they are each other’s true soulmates.
Why Exactly Can Simon See Maddie?
“It Comes Down to the Types of Love That Are Out There.”
Kristian Ventura: I guess it comes down to the types of love that are out there.
It’s the kind of love where you let loyalty decide the day for you.
Oh, I don’t like that you did that.
Well, I’m still going to be your friend.
Now, are they married?
They’re not, not yet.
Maybe he wants that, I don’t know…
What am I trying to say with their love?
It’s that there are too many moments where Simon runs in the dark for her.
Why is Simon charging?
Why does this guy charge?
There’s a twin flame.
Get away from me.
And she goes, You’re not crazy.

In Episode 1, you’re not crazy.
This guy literally has to deny his own mind so that believe her, and he does.
He chooses his heart over evidence, and that is the definition of insanity.

And to me, that’s the definition of love because it has nothing to do with your brain.
I’m going to deny all this evidence because I love you.
Yeah, that’s love.

You go crazy for it.
So it has nothing to do with choice or intelligence.
It’s just loyalty and old, ancient, archaic romance, yeah?

Now it’s over.
And the way he was trying to do that is just to appeal to her emotion.
He brought up the story of how he and Maddie first met.

And you know what, there were a couple of rewrites.
And then she was like, Really?
I already finished that one.

And he’s like another human has read this book?
They just connect like that.
A group of people are in the room.

He’s in the corner.
And then ever since then, they kind of just made an agreement, you’re my friend.
Okay, you’re gonna be my friend.

What Would Simon Have Done If Massive Never Got Her Body Back?
Despite that, every persists, worried that the body itself will die without help.
He’d right there on the spot.

Oh, she’s gone.
He has no idea how life functions without her.
And I wish we see a [few] more moments of the friendship before all the craze.

Because that’s the thing that we root for, because we know where it’s all coming from.
He knew what the stakes were.
He knew she needed to be right there in that school.
But yeah, I remember when they filmed that scene.
They picked the most PG version of what I did.
What if I’m holding someone’s dead body, I’m in shock.
But instead, they picked this take where he’s just kind of holding her.
That was the fifth take.
The first four takes Russ were, I mean, there was snot on Peyton’s eye…
Her mouth is open like this, snot in her mouth.
And I don’t know why they did that.
But then when they drag you down, often audiences are like, Huh?
Well, I wonder why they didn’t take it there.
It’s like, I wanted to take it there.
They didn’t let me.
