Pietro's deleted scenes and their significance || {a rant by zen }

hullo! right so I made a little ooc post about how I am absolutely DESPERATE to rant about my muses deleted scenes and how both marvel & j*ss whedon SHIT all over the bby speedster. right, without further adue, settle in and allow your friendly neighbourhood zen rant about the deleted gemstones we were robbed of.

1) "we fight robots today?"

this scene can be described in one word: PRECIOUS. as much as I understand why it wasn't vital for the final cut, since at the end of the day, all it offers is some mild wit and a distraction from the final act, it still remains VITAL to any pietro roleplayers {I feel}. tagging @fasterthanmydemons & @witchoflegends on this one. so, why do I find this scene so crucial? because when you strip away all of the one-liners, it demonstrates a huge arc of character DEVELOPMENT for pietro, as it shows him willingly getting ALONG with the avengers, even mildly bragging that he is doing their job more successfully than they are, shown when he plagiarizes them playfully, "today? you fight robots TODAY? or is next month better for you?". he has spent the majority of the movie as well as his LIFE despising the avengers, actively on their opposing side by assisting ultron. but now, after joining their fight which has also been made his own since it is to save HIS COUNTRY , he accepts that they are on the same side, so he makes a point out of actually INTERACTING with them.

it always made me mad that his three main character interactions that are upheld constantly throughout the movie are with wanda, clint and the VILLAIN. and despite wanda, even those seem quite skimmed over. like, yes, he died for clint & costel. I RESPECT THAT MASSIVELY. but would it have really hurt the precocious runtime for pietro and clint to share a substantial ONE-ON-ONE scene together? he had one with wanda, giving her motivation, so why not have one with the person that was willing to {and did} DIE for him?!?!??!? would have been made the climax much more IMPACTFUL if you ask me.

2) "maybe I'll see you after?"

again, this one was pretty useless when focusing on the big picture of the movie, or whatever, but it reveals just little tidbits about pietro's character that we were robbed of. not only that, but it shows that pietro is actually very much a people person of his home {something we'll expand on shortly}, as one man calls out his name is disbelief, probably at the fact he's now WORKING with the avengers & STARK, someone he's been actively joining riots and protests against throughout his teens. this scene also demonstrates that, as we all kind of already assumed, pietro is a huge FLIRT. which, if you looked like him, you would be, let's be real. but yeah, still deserved to be shown.

3) "the man in the church"

I saved the best and most MEANINGFUL for last. the fact that they wrote, created and FILMED such a detailed scene such as this and DELETED IT!?!?!??! *counts down from ten* right okay, so there's a LOT of baggage here to unfold so lets begin with the fact that pietro was the living embodiment of sokovia's ROBIN HOOD. he steals for the wellbeing of his neighbourhood, since he retrieves medication for an elderly sokovian. not only does he go out if his way for others, he chooses the CORRECT medication and straight out REFUSES to take any payment for his deed. like...can we just say PURE!??!?! which avenger or hero in general goes out of their way in their own time to do such a thing for other civilians??? I'll tell you who: no one.

so, above that, he also retrieves a toy {football } for a child named costel, not that he's named in the scene. but that is CRUCIAL to know, since that is the child he saves along with clint at the end of aou. a child he WILLINGLY brought gifts for, and was suggestively close with his sister, as he bought her a kinda revealing dress. that being said, he's a big ol' flirt. we know this.

moving on to some lovely twin content now, shall we? we shall. so, we see that wanda is ACTIVELY cautious about pietro's daily ventures in thieving for their community, fearing that he will be harmed. "you keep stealing, you're going to get shot. I mean it!" but pietro SCOFFS at that. some may believe that this was an 'ego' thing, or a care-free attitude, but I beg to differ. I actually find this really interesting. I believe it's demonstrating that the twins actually DISAGREE on matters, which given how close they are, is a rarity that should be INCLUDED. the little scoff could mean numerous things, but I think it's kind of pietro feeling a little...isolated? like, in pietro's head, I imagine him to be like "like YOU could ever be shot " , inferring that he KNOWS wanda is far more powerful than himself, so being wounded shouldn't be her fear, let alone a fear she has for him. but, that's just my interpretation. then it goes to show his ACTUAL frustration at the fact they didn't annihilate stark when they had a perfect opportunity to do so, again, proving the twins aren't SYMPATICO on everything. but as important as this is for both twins, it's more so for pietro, I feel, as it gives him more to his OWN character & personality than just 'wanda's bodyguard.'

so, those are my views on each scene individually but in conclusion...

pietro maximoff was extremely uncarefully handled within the mcu. being just 'extra' backstory and character development for wanda, who as we know is THRIVING right now. but, I guarantee, she wouldn't be where she is now WITHOUT her brother's influence. it's just...ugh. I hate it. pietro deserved better. aaron taylor johnson deserved better. I'm just....*lies down* so, yeah, that's my views on his cut scenes, hope you all enjoyed the rant.
