Someone edited the women out of ‘Avengers: Endgame,’ but the joke is on the sexist trolls via IndieWire
reports. The edit, dubbed the “defeminized” version of the Marvel blockbuster, rids the film of every scene that one anonymous internet troll deemed feminist or gay. Gone entirely from the film is Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel character, while scenes featuring men hugging and Hawkeye training his young daughter with a bow and arrow have been scrapped. The
in which characters played by Larson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tessa Thompson, Pom Klementieff, and more band together to save Tom Holland’s Spider-Man has also been deleted.of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” that found its way online in January 2018, shortly after the Christmas theatrical release of the Lucasfilm tentpole. The “Star Wars” cut got rid of all the female characters in the Rian Johnson-directed sequel, including Daisy Ridley’s main protagonist Rey.
The same can be said for Spider-Man when he is saved by the majority of female superheroes in the MCU. The moment proved for many critics, but without it the entire momentum of the “Endgame” climax comes to a screeching halt. Love the moment or hate it, it’s undeniably a foundation to the film’s pacing and can’t just be removed without throwing off continuity.
There’s also Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow, who is arguably the third most important character in “Endgame” after Tony Stark and Steve Rogers. Black Widow’s story arc is an emotional centerpiece of the film, culminating in her ultimate sacrifice to protect the surrogate family she grew to love deeply. Removing Black Widow from “Endgame” robs the film and the entire MCU of one of its strongest character arcs.
The bottom line is that the more the MCU and the “Star Wars” movies have embraced female representation, the more impossible it is to edit women out of the narrative. Internet trolls have the capability to create fan edits of their choosing, but all removing female characters does is reinforce just how integral those female characters are to their respective franchises. Trolls may think these fan edits are clever, but the real joke is on them.
