5) Man Out Of Time – The Avengers
The greatest triumph of The Avengers is probably how it balances its several franchise-leading characters, meaning each one gets a fair crack at the whip. In the initial cut of the film, though, things were a bit more Cap-heavy, as one long scene dealt with Steve Rogers adjusting to the modern world.
It included Cap watching a documentary of his life, looking up Peggy Carter (finding out she has moved back to England, which sort of contradicts their meeting in Winter Soldier) and travelling alone on the subway.
The most significant moment is where he visits a café and gets chatting with a waitress, the same one who we later see him saving at the film’s climax. The highlight of the scene, however, is surely Stan Lee’s original cameo in the film – as a random old guy who encourages Steve to ask the waitress out.
