We all love a good blooper reel at the end of a movie. And any Marvel/DC superfan will tell you these iconic film companies are notorious for allowing mistakes, bloopers, and unscripted improvisations into the final cut of their movies. They know what they’re doing! While these whimsical moments weren’t in the original scripts, the superhero universe learned that moviegoers adore all these candid, relatable, and all-thumbs moments early on. We’re here today to look at all the “could’ve cut scenes” that made it into the films and ended up making the Marvel and DC movies that much better.
#1: Playing Catch With Infinity
As you may or may not remember, when our charming but sometimes clumsy hero Peter Quill attempts to catch a super important orb in Guardians of the Galaxy containing an infinity stone, he nearly drops it. This blunder was unscripted. It was a real butterfingers moment from Chris Pratt, who, when asked about it later, said that he was overconfident for most of this film, and this scene is a great example of that.
Since the blooper fits Quill’s character description perfectly, Marvel ultimately decides to include the shot in the final cut. I mean, it was one of those ”HaHa” moments because – let’s be honest – realistically, this is precisely how it would go down.
