please.
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.

Okoye & Shuri:
for some reason i have this weird headcanon peter always calls tony his friend to annoy him?? like peter is late to school one day because he spent the night at the tower and he, tony, and rhodey stayed up watching star wars and didn’t go to bed until like three am, so tony has to go sign peter in and beg the school not to let may parker know her nephew missed his first two classes and when they get there the office ladies are like ?? shook ?? bc thats TONY STARK ?? so they ask peter ‘uh whos this’ and peter, who has this starbucks drink with so much whipped cream on it and is wearing either one of tony or rhodeys mit sweatshirts, he can’t remember but it’s comfortable and plays into his aesthetic, just nonchalantly goes 'oh. this is my friend, tony. you know him?’ and tony looks up from where he’s signing the little sheet thing and glares at peter with a look that screams what did you just say?? i am your FUCKING FATHER FIGU- MENTOR I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND I WILL TAKE AWAY YOUR SUIT YOUNG MAN
