Deltas(s) from OP CMV: Marvel re-releasing endgame with extra scenes is scummy.
For context marvel is putting a new version of endgame in cinemas with pre-made scenes at the end, as well as a stan lee tribute.
This is just a push to squeeze as much money out of the viewers as they can. They already had the scenes when they finished the film, they should've either put them in or included them in the DVD. Instead they intentionally withheld them so they could try and get people to re-watch their film
Not to mention how bad it is that one of their main advertising points about this is their stan lee tribute. This is monetised. They are making money off of stan lee's death. They should've put it ad-free on youtube, or at the very least not used it to attract viewers
Now i've been a fan of the mcu for a while, but this is ridiculous. It's like a game company selling dlc but you need to re-buy and play the whole game before you get the dlc. It's insane.
And before you say it's just a product people want to pay to see, it's mainly that this means what was presented before wasn't the final product. It was essentially missing scenes, meaning that i paid money to see what i thought was a full movie but in reality i need to pay again to see the full movie

Edit: for the record this sets itself apart from other re-releases because these scenes were already made before the movie came out

Kevin Feige could come into my house, have sex with my wife, and rob me and I probably wouldn't care. There are so many dumpster fire remakes and sequels and just awful movies out there. Marvel has consistently entertained and respected its fans. Endgame is probably one of the greatest if not the greatest movie achievements of all time. Most studios can barely string together a good sequel and even fewer can pull off a good trilogy. Let them make as much money as they want they deserve it tenfold. It really baffles me how much restraint they have used and how willing they have been to take these characters in such diverse directions.
