A few days ago, taking as an excuse the headaches that its “girl power” scene gave the creative team, we remembered the levels of epic and the great connection with the public that generated an ‘Avengers: Endgame’ that closed the Infinity Saga from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But the taste in your mouth that it left, it could have been much, but much more bitter.
Clean slate
Again, the book ‘The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’ serves as a source to uncover some of the MCU’s best kept secrets and anecdotes. On this occasion, thanks to him we have discovered that the original plan was not limited to showing the dramatic deaths of Iron Man and the Black Widow, but take on the original six avengers at one stroke.
This was, at least, Kevin Feige’s first idea, that was rejected by the Russo brothers with the most reasonable justification. This is how the book collects it.
“Kevin’s first pitch had the concept ‘they’re all going to jump into an oven together’ from ‘Toy Story 3,’ reveals Joe Russo. The negative response from the brothers was that there was no possible way the story could take the time. to honor each one of them. And that, for the fans, was an impossible scenario to process when leaving the cinema. “
If we already had a bad time watching Woody, Buzz and company in the oven of ‘Toy Story 3’, imagine dismissing in such a traumatic way some characters that have accompanied us for more than twenty titles – differences of narrative quality aside, Of course-. As far as I’m concerned, the path taken was the right one, and it avoided cturn an apparent end of the cycle into a gimmicky artifice and designed to look for the easy shock. Bravo, Russos.
