Considered a highlight by the majority of fans, one of The Avengers' most impressive sequences featured a lengthy and uninterrupted shot during the final battle as each team member was shown battling it out with the Chitauri. As well as highlighting how they worked together, it was like seeing the comic books come to life. However, it was very nearly scrapped due to budgetary and time concerns from studio bosses. Whedon however remained adamant that it stay in the movie because "This is where the Avengers become the Avengers." Thankfully, Marvel listened and let him shoot the breathtaking scene.
