>AVENGERS: ENDGAME could have taken us to a lot of very dark places, including Thanos arriving in 2023 with the severed head of Captain America in order to taunt Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
>Writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have talked more about how that was set to play out. "When Thanos comes back, and he comes through a hole that Nebula has created and all that, we had to decide what the playing field was for that final battle," McFeely explains, "And one of the ideas was that she opens a time rift, he walks through from 2014 Earth, where he’s already gone and laid waste to the whole place. And so our heroes come out of the dust, they see this figure walking toward them, he crosses from light to dark or whatever, and it’s Thanos, and he tosses something at their feet. And it rolls and lands at Steve’s feet, and it’s his own severed head."
>Markus added that we would have seen that "With the helmet still on" and co-director Joe Russo said "It wasn't us!" when asked who scrapped the scene. "It was a favorite," Anthony agreed. "It was a complicated idea to pull off." Ultimately, it sounds like getting that right and probably keeping that PG-13 rating were the biggest issues. "The four of us sat in a room for months going, ‘How do we make Captain America’s severed head work? We can’t figure out where we go once he throws his head at his feet, where does the story go?’" Joe concluded.
would have been better than what we got. >Steve went back to the 1940's >watched all the shit go down without lifting a figure to help

When an user mentioned this I thought it was an edgy joke
Michael Gomez
Why was decapitation and removal or limbs turned into such a big deal? Star Wars did it all the time. Hell, even the 3d clone wars series did it early on.

I know its a superhero movie, but doing this kind of ruins the stakes. I mean, obviously Thanos will lose, but just reversing everything immediately after having already reversed the snap seems excessive.
Would've made Thanos edgier than what he already was in Endgame, Infinity War painted him as this honorable unstoppable menace, only killing when he really has to, then Endgame comes and he spouts shit like "I'll shred this universe to its last atom" like an edgelord, this would've been the icing of the cake so I'm glad they didn't pull through; that being said he's probably edgier because he's 2014 Thanos and not the 2018 one I guess?
Would've been cool, desu. 2014 Thanos was kinda boring.
Wyatt Howard
Why didn’t Thanos attack earth sooner than 2018 after knowing Loki left two Infinity stones there? We found out from GotG 1 and Captain Marvel that you don’t need a Space stone portal to reach earth.
Michael Thompson
They could have just had Thanos throw Cap's busted up helmet at his feet. Or a cracked shield. It would have been the exact same message without devolving into dumb edgy shit.
Matthew Nelson
In this idea, he did. He murders Earth in 2014, hence the head. In the movie, he needed both a surprise to prevent time shenanigans and all the stones in one spot.
Anthony Lewis
he got milkies though

>being so secure in yourself you don't feel the need to fix the world after you got your girl even tho you have superpowers
