Me After I Explain The Entirety Of The Mcu To My Family But They Still Answer With “what?”

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.

do you ever stop to think that tony stark had a daughter? like. tony stark. had a daughter. tony stark was a dad. the narcissistic i-don’t-play-well-with-others reckless chaotic playboy became a dad. more than that, he became the softest kind of dad, the kind that talks to their kids with a gentle tone but still manages to make it sound loving, not patronizing. the kind of dad that drops everything, no matter how important (like, i don’t know, the solution to the death of half of the world’s population), to tuck his kid into bed. the kind of dad that goes teary eyed hearing his kid saying she loves him. he finally understood what it was like to love and be loved unconditionally, what it was like to become the best version of yourself for someone, and i, for one, am devastated just thinking about it

Mad fucked up about how everyone was head down, on a knee and Rhodey was so overcome with emotion watching his little brother stop moving that he couldn’t even look. Turned around. Couldn’t acknowledge it. He couldn’t look at Tony’s body because it wasn’t moving and it wasn’t right and it wasn’t supposed to be Tony that died first

you hold your child as tight as you can. [then push away the unimaginable.]

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