Avengers: Endgame"s Deleted Iron Man Scene Resurfaces & Resurrects Debate About Marvel"s Soulworld

:0:0

Marvel Studios originally included Iron Man"s Soulworld scene after his death at the end of Avengers: Endgame, and fans are once again discussing whether it should have stayed or not.
On X, user jakob von doom shares a thread of MCU deleted scenes, including an Avengers: Endgame scene where Tony Stark is brought to the Soul Stone"s Soulworld right after he performs the Snap that defeats Thanos and his army. During his brief visit to Soulworld, Tony meets a grown version of his daugther Morgan, and they share a heartwarming moment before Tony transcends. The post has picked up momentum on X, as MCU fans provide their arguments for or against the scene. Check out the post below:
X user D.M. disagrees with the way the deleted Avengers: Endgame scene is written. Instead of a touching conversation between Tony and Morgan, D.M. proposes a shorter scene where Tony cries as he sees Morgan, and the only words he says is "I love you 3000" before the scene ends. This version of the Soulworld scene could have been a more efficient way of reuniting Tony and Morgan, and it would have called back to their most memorable moment together.
User StonedWookie90 disagrees with Morgan"s presence in Soulworld. Instead of Tony Stark"s daughter, Tony"s mentor Ho Yinsen could have been the person Tony Stark met in Soulworld. After all, the person Soulworld presents doesn"t necessarily have to be related to the person who performed the Snap, and Ho Yinsen played an essential role in Tony Stark"s life, having sacrificed himself in order to place Tony on the path to heroism in Iron Man. After his death in Iron Man, Yinsen only returned in Iron Man 3"s opening flashback.
User vince believes the deleted Avengers: Endgame scene serves little purpose. While Tony and Morgan"s reunion is inherently a moving moment, it doesn"t seem natural in Soulworld. Unfortunately, this means that Katherine Langford"s only MCU scene had to be cut. Perhaps Langford will have another chance to appear as a grown Morgan in future MCU installments such as Ironheart and Avengers: Doomsday.
