When A Character You Hate Dies

Why they should have kept THAT deleted scene in Endgame:

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.

True story: guys online are actually complaining that Captain Marvel doesn’t smile in the trailer.

Update: Brie Larson’s response:

Venom and Eddie Brock are fucking gay

“You don’t choose the Chologuard life, the Chologuard life chooses you.”

Peter (under his breath upon seeing T’Challa lounging in his suit): Sing me the song of your people Soup!

T’Challa: Did you say something Spider-Boy?

Shuri ( Across the room ):  Sing me the song of your friends SOUP!

T’Challa: Wait … Not again please!

Peter & Shuri:  Sing me a song for the good times SOUP!

T’Challa (Crying): Why is this happening to me?!

Peter & Shuri (Loudly):  Sing me a song, a song. HEY SOUP!

That first gif isn’t the best quality but it’s whatever. I just spent a long ass time figuring these out so please don’t steal them and give credit if you use them.

shuri : what if “It’s Raining Men” and “Let the Bodies Hit The Floor” are both about the same events but from different perspectives

t’challa : I’m literally begging you to stop

You were born from the stars; a gleaming piece of poetic tragedy forged from the heavens themselves.
