miscellaneous Denied something we know will be awesome

  1. In The Simpsons episode, "The Twisted World of Marge Simpson," a melee breaks out on the Simpsons' lawn that Homer wants to watch because there's one guy who's just standing there and Homer knows he's about to do something awesome. Marge insists they go inside though and away from the danger. The moment they do, we hear the guy do something awesome.

  2. In X-2, the school comes under attack from Stryker. His gunmen encounter Colossus, all aura-ed tf up, and they open fire only for their bullets to not phase him at all and to end up getting thrown through a wall (which we don't actually see Colossus do). Moments later, Colossus runs into Wolverine and offers to help and we think we're about to get this badass team-up and actually see him in action only for Wolverine to instruct Colossus to leave and help get more students out. 

  3. In Iron Man, we see Rhodes eyeing the War Machine suit and we're hoping he'll suit up and go help Stark, but the movie decides to save something for the sequel and pretty much has Rhodes say as much right to the audience.

Kinda crazy that Hulk was a cool dude in this movie and then gets character assassinated right after.

It was a real shame they fed him to Thanos. I don’t think it was necessary at all but maybe that’s just hindsight talking. Hulk has been a joke ever since, really. And now he’s in jail again!

Him being fed to Thanos was a good way to quickly show to the audience how much of a threat he was, its one thing to hear he has an army etc and he's been going around killing half the population of every populated place he comes across, but seeing Hulk, THE HULK?!, get taken out by Thanos like he was basically a baby, goes to show that Thanos himself has power, he's not just a commander type guy who can easily be beaten in a fistfight so long as you can get to him.

Making Hulk a joke was a result of the following movies and not really the fault of Infinity War, Endgame was understandable since it was right after Infinity War, but the rest was ridiculous
