10 Movies That Missed Out The Money Shot

2. Gamora Finds The Soul Stone - Avengers: Infinity War

For most people, Thanos snapping his fingers was always going to be the money shot of Avengers: Infinity War. It stands to reason, given the emotion loaded into it and the catastrophic ramifications, but there's also another hugely important moment that we SHOULD have seen.

All of the marketing leading up to Infinity War was split into three major questions: the first was who would die, the second was would Thanos snap his fingers and the third was where was the Soul Stone? In the end, we found out the answers to all, but the third question left something pretty major unanswered. We knew that the stone was on Vormir and that Thanos discovered that thanks to Nebula giving up Gamora's secret awareness of its location, but how the hell did Gamora know where it was?

Surely it would have been an idea for us to see (or even HEAR) how Gamora was able to find out that key information given how important it was to the entire plot? This was a Stone protected by a Guardian whose pursuit had seemingly destroyed others: how had she managed to find out the information and not somehow find out the caveat of the Guardian's gambit? It doesn't really make sense and it robs us of a very key scene.
