Avengers: Infinity War - 23 New Secrets Revealed
2. Spider-Man Almost Died Quicker
According to the film-makers, Spider-Man's death scene originally wasn't as long as the final version. During the death scene, Joe Russo and McFeely discussed the extended goodbye that was set apart from the other deaths, which were all pretty much instantaneous:
Joe Russo: "If I remember correctly, right, it was, 'I don't feel so good.' Tony looked at him, he said, 'I'm sorry,' and disappeared."
Stephen McFeely: "It wasn't as drawn out."
That was done partially because of Tom Holland's improvisation of the moment and also probably because they're sadists and wanted us all to bleed from our actual hearts.
Another Spidey-related revelation reveals that the writers struggled to figure out how Peter Parker would get on board Ebony Maw's spaceship and it ended up being completely reshot.
1. The Snap Damaged Thanos Permanently
The commentary includes a line by Joe Russo about the immediate aftermath of the snap, adding a detail to the fact that the Gauntlet is obviously damaged:
"See there, with his Gauntlet and the arm, the power that it takes to use all six Stones is significant, and clearly damaged the Gauntlet and damaged Thanos permanently."
The PERMANENT damage to Thanos is a new revelation, though it could be argued that he could use the Time Stone the same way Doctor Strange did on the apple during his own training and reverse the state of the injury without having to directly reverse the cause. So the click could still remain but the injury could be reversed.
Anyway, it's only right that the damage is lasting as it's designed to show that Thanos has been weakened to offer a slither of hope in an otherwise incredibly bleak ending. And we definitely deserved that.
