With The Avengers hitting DVD September 25th, more and more deleted and alternate scenes are starting to show up online. Sometimes I wonder if some of these are actually deleted scenes or just scenes that they shoot special to promote the DVD release. Have you seen the “director’s cut” of The Town? If that’s actually the cut Ben Affleck wanted, Ben Affleck is some kind of Frank Drebin director who’s been inadvertantly Forrest Gumping his way into undeserved accolades this whole time, because the director’s cut is terrible. Anyway, this deleted scene from The Avengers isn’t that bad – much better than the alternate opening that hit yesterday – but it does have my least favorite of all Marvel scenes, the Stan Lee cameo, the part of every Marvel movie where they throw out all pretense of storytelling in order to wink at you while every neckbeard in the audience puffs out his mantits in the hopes of being the first to acknowledge he’s been successfully pandered to. Relax, fatty, at this point, Condoleeza Rice probably knows who Stan Lee is. That said, Chris Evans is dreamy and I could stare at him staring at stuff all day.
That building he’s staring at is supposed to be Stark Tower, but the CG isn’t finished.
Anyway, I made this:

Just those scenes have me interested in the cut of the film where we spent most of the first hour following Capt adjusting to today
This scene was pretty good I thought, way better than that terrible opener and I can’t help but think it would have fit nicely in to give just a bit more of the whole “man out of his time” feeling. I’ve only seen the movie once so I don’t even remember it mostly but I seem to recall wanting a bit more story for Cap.
if im not mistaken, that waitress is the same woman he saves later on in the film. cool scene tho, i too would have liked to see more cap adjusting to modern life. and that was maybe the worst of all the stan lee cameos
That’s the little kid from Lionheart and Growing Pains! Mind blown.
Don’t kid yourself. Had that phone been a Jitterbug, he’d have called. Stupid tiny keypad!
This might be the lamest thing I’ve ever said on the internet, but did anyone else notice that Tony Stark and “Peggy” have the same Social Security Number?
*mindblown*
Peggy was such an unrealistic character. A British lady in the US military during WWII? Okay, fine. But a British lady in the US military during WWII whose hair and make-up is perpetually perfect, even when they’re camped out somewhere in the war zone? SHENANIGANS.
If her teeth were fucked up, it would be realistic.
the hole movie I was staring at her tits so I didn’t give much of a fuck
I actually think that scene added to the movie and gave his character a bit more depth. Too bad it couldn’t have made the original cut. Just jumping to him punching things made him seem a bit 1 dimensional.
When Chris Evans asks “…radio?” after the waitress mentions ‘Free wireless’, you can actually hear the audio of Aaron Sorkin’s boner destroying his pleated Dockers. It’s faint, but it’s really quite something
Like hearing the heat from the big bang dissipating.
“Plus we’ve got free wireless…”
“Brassieres?”
“Contraception?”
I actually liked that scene. It adds more to him in the film instead of him just appearing to punch bags and be a cliche soldier looking for a fight. Ugh, this is getting to serious. Camel balls.
I read this as Stan Lee, Aids, Mopping.
To close to home…..
Am I the only one who tried the number on Peggy’s “file”? They were too many numbers and I need to get a life…
1. Baby Goose stare.
2. Assbender stare.
3. Tom “Pretty Lips” Hardy stare.
Chris Evans ain’t got shit on the Handsome Guyfecta.
Horseshit. Service at Pershing Square Cafe is never than nice, and they’ll shuffle your ass out faster than you can say Hulk Want Macchiato!.
That was a pretty great scene. Stan was fine. Lighten up.
Vince is pretty much just a dick. So, he is keeping it real, I guess.
Marvel: “Hey everyone! It’s Stan Lee! He created all of this!”
Fans: “Didn’t Jack Kirby co-create a ton of these characters?”
Marvel: “Uh…hey everyone, it’s Rocket Raccoon!”
This player fucking sucks.
The worst Stan Lee cameo wasn’t this one, it was Captain America, simply because he did not create that character. Cap was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, though apparently Stan would like us to forget that fact.
We suffer through these dumb cameos because “Stan created these characters, so he’s earned it.” But when he starts showing up for characters he had no hand in making, that’s going too far.
