So this deleted scene has been going around from Endgame and it makes me wonder… Why didn’t the Russos put it in? Well, none of are going to know that for sure, but I can give my opinion on why the deleted scene should have stayed and possibly even replaced the funeral scene.
I think most people can agree that the deleted scene after the battle and funeral scene are very similar, like, scarily similar. They both begin with a close-up of Tony, then to Pepper, and then finally pans across all the other Avengers, giving each one of them a moment of recognition. I think even the music is the same in both.
But what makes them different? To me, the difference is all in the uniform. Everyone in the deleted scene is in their superhero garb, as opposed to black dress wear. Why does this matter?
Think of how many times you see a hero fall to their knees.
There is so much emotional baggage packed into the simple movement, and showing that posture while also having each Avenger in their uniform just emboldens that emotional impact even further. These are heroes, the strongest group of people in the universe congregating together on one battlefield, and they have all fallen to their knees. Even after winning, they’ve all been defeated.
Not only that, but they don’t get back up. We never see them stand. The camera pulls away then fades to black, leaving us with an image of the Avengers, smaller than they’ve ever been before, all because of one life lost.
These simple things: the uniforms, the falling to the knees, the setting of the battlefield… They all carry so much more emotional weight than any funeral scene could. We’ve scene funeral scenes before, hundreds of times, but it’s so very rare we see our favorite superheroes drop to their knees and don’t get back up.
Tony Stark’s death is a defeat in their eyes. They may have won, but they lost so much more. We lost so much more. We’d do exactly the same if we were on that battlefield. We fall on to our knees to mourn our losses, to represent our defeats.
This scene was the perfect, emotional send-off we needed.

Y/n, putting on your seatbelt: Ok, do you remember what I’ve taught you?
Loki, starting up the car: Of course.
Loki, driving: Green means go, yellow means speed up, red means enter at your own risk.
Y/n: Yes- Wait WHAT
Loki, seeing a red light: *slams his foot down on the gas pedal* And I’m feeling risky today.
Y/n: *covers your face and screams*
Loki: *runs straight through the light*
Y/n, slowly uncovering your face: *glares at Loki* WHO THE HELL TOLD YOU THAT?
Loki: Stark gave me some pointers-
Y/n: Ok, never listen to Tony’s instructions EVER AGAIN.
Loki: …
Loki: So I don’t get bonus points if I hit a bus?
Y/n: Did Tony tell you that?
Loki: No actually that was Barton.
Y/n: *slowly exhales*
Loki: *quietly* Does this also mean I don’t get triple the points by driving on the opposite side of the road?
Y/n: I’m going to KILL Clint.
Loki: …that one was Peter.
Y/n: You took driving instructions… from A LITERAL CHILD??
Peter, sitting in the back of the car holding a camera: Ok, first off I’m not a kid, second off YOU’RE RUINING MY VIDEO.
