7. Gamora And Nebula Actually Talk (Guardians Of The Galaxy)
Guardians Of The Galaxy did a lot of things right, from its stonking soundtrack to convincing a staggering number of cinema goers worldwide to pay money for a film called Guardians Of The Galaxy. Where it tripped up a little was in some of the character dynamics and conflicts, especially when it came to the villains. Gamora was supposed to be double-crossing her adoptive daddy Thanos, and had a rivalry with her step-sister Nebula (the blue, bald headed Karen Gillan from Doctor Who), but none of that appeared anywhere on screen besides the dialogue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zhDcuHJBG0 In just one minute, this deleted scene from James Gunn's film shows the antagonistic relationship between the siblings, gives a whole bunch of background as to their childhood and characters arcs, and - if it had appeared in Guardians Of The Galaxy - would've provided even more resonance when the pair eventually do battle at the end of the movie. Instead, it's tucked away on the forthcoming DVD and Blu-Ray release of the film, just in time for Christmas. When you'll probably be choking your own siblings up against a wall.
