Jason Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 It presumably got cut because it feels pretty redundant with the funeral, but apparently it wasn't supposed to be an open-ended question as to whether past-Gamora survived the snap.

TwinIon Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 It's a fine little sequence by itself, but I agree that it feels a bit redundant with the funeral. I guess I didn't realize that there was a question about past-Gamora surviving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternallDarkness Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I'm glad they cut it, Everyone knelling just feels odd, it's like they are kneeling to a fallen king, which Tony would have played well to Tony's ego, but just feels wrong to me.

At the end of the movie they show Quill scanning to try to find Gamora with it just on "searching" before he cuts it off and the Asgardians of the Galaxy scene starts. I guess he could have been trying to scan for his Gamora, but I assumed he was scanning for the Gamora from the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This... The kneeling thing is just weird and feels out of place here. He's TONY Stark, Not NED Stark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kinda feels like they forgot they were axing that bit when they cut the overall scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they forgot...it was pretty obvious that she was still around especially when you see Quill searching for her at the end. I can totally see the thinking behind not showing her walking away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 The kneeling thing does feel weird and it’s definitely redundant with the funeral scene afterwards. I don’t really mind that there’s a question as to whether or not Gamora survived Tony’s snap. Also if she was going to die because of that they would have shown it. They’re going to kill a main character of a franchise for a second time and not show it? Lol. I feel like Gamora being dead or alive is really only a question for children.

He's TONY Stark, Not NED Stark Yeah, that was weird. It did feel like they were honoring their fallen king. When Hawkeye did it, I could see it as seeing Tony like that it felt like another punch to gut. It had only been a few hours since he saw Black Widow die too.

I don’t see anything weird or redundant about honoring a fallen brother on the battlefield after a battle, then showing the celebration of his life.

From a storytelling/script perspective, it's the same beat twice. When the script was written they probably had the same thought you do... once they saw it in the cut, the realized that it was repetitive (and tonally wrong) Also it probably unintentionally called up similarities to the NFL protests. At least I'm sure someone at Disney was worried it would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Skillz said, irl that’s not redundant. But in the movie it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
