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.

I haven't really watched the deleted scenes yet, I'm mostly waiting for the DVD to come out so some things are still a surprise.

Although some things have leaked on to tumblr and I must ask you.

Loki with or without the gag at the end?

WITHOUT QUESTION, WITH. Like, I cannot believe NOT muzzling the god of lies was even proposed. Plus, that makes it much more believable that he was actually defeated and really getting dragged off to face justice.

I did like that you could see Hiddleston's acting a little more without the gag, but I agree that it made him look more defeated and like he was at the mercy of something else.
