Did you see the expanded version of Avengers Endgame in the theater?

Asked by filmfann (52488points) August 15th, 2019

Several weeks ago, a 3 minute longer version of the movie went into the theaters, in an obvious attempt to beat the box office record for Avatar.
Endgame is now out on DVD, and it includes deleted scenes, but many of the scenes involve Rocket, and aren’t polished. Rocket appears as a still computer image.
Did the theater release have those scenes, and were they completed?
What did the new scenes involve?

No. I only see movies in the cinema once.
Besides, scenes get cut for a reason, and while on their own, some of those scenes are interesting, from what I have seen of them, their inclusion would have made the movie worse, simply by messing with the pacing.
For example, there was a scene, when Ironman dies, where all the avengers started to kneel one after the other, and it was just corny and terrible.

I did and the extra scene did not involve Rocket but the Hulk. It was unfinished 3D computer modeling though and, in my opinion, added nothing to the story. Cut for good reason.

The rest was a tribute to Stan Lee via behind the scenes footage from almost all of his MCU cameos (this was very nice) and a preview of Spider-Man: Far from Home. No big deal overall.

It is a shame that he died before the movie came out.

@ragingloli: I see what you mean, but I suspect Stan was pretty awed by how far so many of his co-creations had come via the MCU.

I found it sad that Steve Ditko didn’t seem to care about the legacy of his work up until he died. An article published after death said that cashed checks of very large amounts were found in his apartment from both Sony and Marvel Studios for use of Spidey and others. At least he benefitted financially.

My plan was to see it the third and last time at the big screen. But not anymore after finding out here that it’s not worth the money. I also already bought a streaming copy from Amazon.
