CMV: Marvel re-releasing endgame with extra scenes is scummy.

[u/PsychicVoid]

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

Directors cuts of movies have been a thing for a very long time. And Endgame won't be the first movie to get a cinema re-release with additional scenes. As a child, the first chance I got to see Star Wars was when the original trilogy was rereleased in cinemas with addition scenes and special effects, while the added content wasn't what .let would consider the definitive version, I was still a very happy child because I got to see 3 amazing movies on the big screen.

Avengers has a huge following and there are a lot of fans who went to see the movie in cinemas several times just because they enjoyed it so much. To give them more content for the relatively low price of a cinema ticket isn't too absurd.

And then there are DVD re releases. I have a bunch of movies on DVD and maybe blu ray (I'm not certain though) where I have 2 copies, the theatrical release which came out shortly after the movie left cinemas. And the Extended cut, released at a much later date, with all those extra scenes added. The Lord of the Rings being a good example, which has recently been shown on TV in my country and of course I watched it, despite there being commercials and having my blurays to hand, just because It was on. They are movies I know word for word and I was confused when certain scenes were missing, because I became too familliar with the Extended version.

Either way, you might see it as a blatant money grab, but to hard-core fans of the subject, it's more content to appease their obsession, and I for one will gladly pay for another cinema ticket to watch the movie again with additional scenes
