Avengers Deleted Scenes
The deleted scenes
left me with DEFINITE Hill/Fury feelings. I love their negotation of loyalty and how Hill and Fury are very clear with each other about their actions - there is no shame with these two even when they (might be?) using different means to achive the same ends. (Did that make any sense?)
However, I am THRILLED that they did not use the Maria Hill opening. It's too dark for the tone of the film, much too manipulative, and would have seemed really, really cheap. Avengers is a much stronger movie for just starting at the beginning (tesseract is misbehaving! Loki appears! Car chase shootout!) than trying to ramp up the tension in a fake way with Maria giving her repot.
Also, I find it really interesting that Maria pulls a Romanoff with the security council - she acted all vulnerable and shocky to get them to lower their guard and then verbally OWNED THEIR ASS.
Also, a softer cap updated with some more delicious rip-out-your-lung-with-Steve-feels graphics. Especially this, this, this, and this.

That was exactly the thought I had in the theater as Tony rode that nuke into space. GEE, I WONDER IF HE'LL SURVIVE, OH, WAIT, I HAVE NO ANXIETY ABOUT HIS SURVIVAL AT ALL, HE'S SAFE AS HOUSES.
because that's maria all over, she has no patience for the avengers, but she has to admit that what they do works and that she believes it will keep working until all of a sudden, it doesn't and she has to be there to pick up the pieces.
Exactly. I ADORE that scene where she's like, 'we have no idea how big a bang this tesseract can cause.' And Fury's like, 'WORK WITH ME HILL, JUST BE A LITTLE OPTIMISTIC, PLEASE.'
