The original ending was that Sam would use the Adamantium he rescued from the Serpent Society against Ross to take away his Red Hulk powers
Which would ultimately cause his heart to flatline and die
That’s what the funeral scene from the trailer was about
However
This is where the original post credit scene would have caused a problem
Ross would have died
Betty would have said some things to Sam
At the funeral
And then afterwards
Post Credit Scene
Y’all ready for this?
POV: Nighttime. We’re at Betty’s house.
She hears noises around her home and she goes out to investigate. Opens the door to see what’s causing a ruckus.
Open door. Boom. Red Hulk is at her door. “Hello Betty.” cuts to Black.
And then the idea that followed that
Would have been a WWH film that would have just been essentially Bruce and the Avengers fighting other Hulks, including Betty as Red She-Hulk
Another idea was about Sam meeting with Leader in the Raft, who reveals Sam that before being imprisoned he set up some people to be Hulks by poisoning them
Which involved the soda from The Incredible Hulk
You know, the one that killed Stan Lee?
Another thing we were robbed of was Super Soldier Isaiah Bradley
Who had his moments IN COSTUME AND EVERYTHING
He would have essentially been with Joaquin and Sam for a majority of the film
There was a scene of Isaiah, Falcon and Cap taking on Red Hulk on a snowy mountain
Isaiah would have also done a sacrifice play
It would have been at the White House against Red Hulk
Ruth, him and Sam would have taken him on
Which would have inspired Eli to become Patriot
But also, Isaiah originally wasn’t the person that was going to do the assassination attempt on Ross - it was Ruth
They also removed Ruth’s powers which I don’t think anyone cared about but the way they built her up, I kinda just feel bad for the actress
Amadeus Cho was also removed
