Spared by the Cut	comment	As we all know, some film adaptations will alter things so a character survives where they died in the source material, while others will do the inverse. But sometimes, differences between the script and what ends up getting filmed - sometimes caused by Creative Differences and/or Executive Meddling - will have a character die in one cut but survive another. Sometimes results from a Compilation Movie made from episodes where a character dies, but their death doesn't make it to the film itself. Also, despite the name, it has nothing to do with getting an actual physical cut - rather, a different cut of a film. As this is a Death Trope, expect spoilers.

Spared by the Cut / int_1709b40e	comment	The original ending to Brooklyn's Finest, as shown in Sundance, had Eddie committing suicide after his retirement following the climax, which serves as to bookmark the ending from the opening. Antoine Fuqua eventually decided to end the film instead with a freeze frame of Eddie's face with blood and eyes swollen because he pointed out that the face, in metaphor represents America, dazed and confused, but still moving forward. He added, "There's still some hope, we still have a chance. We've taken some hits, but we're still standing. It kind of came out of everything that was happening".

Spared by the Cut / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age: Dragon Age: Origins had a scene where the player could be outed as a blood mage in front of the leaders of the mages and templars, which was removed for the final game but can be enabled through mods. The scene, if the player failed to lie their way out, would end with everyone in the tower — mages and templars alike — going hostile, forcing the player to kill them. This included Greagoir and Cullen, who are otherwise unkillable in the game. Dragon Age II was originally supposed to conclude with an Expansion Pack called Exalted March, which was to set up the sequel Dragon Age: Inquisition. It was also meant to end with the death of fan-favourite Varric. When Exalted March was cancelled during pre-production, the developers were forced to rework most of their plans into Inquisition itself. This ended up changing the direction they took Varricâ€™s character and he ended up surviving. Cole, a spirit in human form, from Dragon Age: Inquisition has a Loyalty Mission where he must either become more human or more spirit-like in order to protect himself from being controlled by the Big Bad Corypheus. The plan was that Cole would protect himself and survive if the mission was completed, but if it wasnâ€™t he would fall under Corypheus's influence and had to be fought and killed. The developers were unable to get this to work in-game, so in the final game Cole cannot be taken to the battle against Corypheus unless you complete his mission first.

Spared by the Cut / int_2675c915	comment	Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: In the middle of the first season, Corrupt Corporate Executive Ian Quinn escapes with the crate of Gravitonium. A scene originally showed a fellow unwitting agent of HYDRA, Raina, killing him by letting the mysterious element consume him but it was removed, leaving the character and plot device open for a return. It was ultimately subverted however, as the show brought back the Gravitonium plot but the actor playing Quinn had retired from acting. The showrunners decided to simply put the cut scene back into the show as a flashback, leaving the character's fate neatly resolved with no further explanation required. In a deleted scene from the pilot, the female scientist who gave Mike Peterson his powers was originally killed by her superiors when her cell phone attaches itself to her face and injects something that kills her instantly. The character's survival allowed her to make another appearance (which ended with her being burned alive, so it didn't save her for very long), while the deadly cellphone was saved for a more memorable scene later that season.

Dallas and Brett are assumed dead in the movie. However, in the Director's cut there's also a scene where we find that they have been cocooned and implanted. Dallas at least is still alive. Several script drafts of AlienÂ³ had Bishop die after being bludgeoned by Aaron/Golic, following which one of the Weyland-Yutani scientists, named Dr. Matshuita, would take over and attempt to convince Ripley to come with them. It was eventually decided Bishop's death was an Anti-Climax and the script was changed to have him survive, while Matshuita was relegated to a background character.

The Rehabs would've started their campaign to discredit Murphy by killing Sgt. Reed and then killed Estevez (played by a Latina in the film, but depicted as a white man in the comic), with Lewis being among the survivors. Estevez survived the final version of 2 and didn't appear in 3; when the Rehabs were brought back for 3, it was Lewis who was killed; and Reed survived both movies.

Spared by the Cut / int_4a059a74	comment	The Mandalorian: Greef Karga originally died in Chapter 3, when the Mandalorian shoots him in the chest. Showrunner Jon Favreau changed his mind after discussing the character with Carl Weathers convinced Favreau to promote him to a recurring role. In the finished episode, after Mando kicks an unconscious Greef out of his ship, Greef rises and pulls some singed beskar out of his coat pocket. Fennec Shand originally died in Chapter 5, when Toro Calican shoots her in the abdomen. However, after the episode's director/writer, Dave Filoni, learned how much he has in common with Fennec's actress, Ming-Na Wen, they agreed to add a hint that she could return. The completed chapter ends with a silhouetted Boba Fett finding Fennec's lifeless body, which he proceeds to convert into a cybernetic partner-in-crime/co-star of his spin-off. The Armorer originally died in Chapter 8, when Stormtroopers attack her at the forge. Fortunately, Jon Favreau rewrote the fight so that she would win instead. Like Fennec and Mando, she reappeared in The Book of Boba Fett afterwards. Axe Woves originally pulled a Heroic Sacrifice in Chapter 11, while firing some grenades at some Stormtroopers. This got cut in favor of having Mando fire the grenades instead (though he doesn't die, either). Lucasfilm didn't have time by then to add a new explanation for Axe's absence from the Season 2 finale (while Koska Reeves, Bo-Katan's other partner, shows up), although Mando and Bo-Katan do meet Axe again in Season 3.

In The World Is Not Enough, there was reportedly a plan for Elektra King to survive and for Bond to visit her in the hospital where she was being treated for Stockholm Syndrome, but this was considered too downbeat. In Skyfall, M's assistant Vanessa originally had a more prominent role. She was to be on duty at MI6 HQ while M went to see Mallory. Telling Tanner about the MI6 computer attack, she was also to be the person discovering M's computer hacked by Silva's images before being killed in the explosion.

In Avengers: Age of Ultron, one cut of the movie has Quicksilver survive, but in the theatrical cut, he is killed. Joss Whedon filmed both endings and left it up to the studio to decide which would be used. There was a draft of Avengers: Endgame where at Vormir, Clint made the sacrifice for the Soul Stone instead of Natasha, but several women on the crew objected saying that Natasha should be the one to show her heroism and sacrificial love for Clint and his family. Also, Kevin Feige initially conceived the ending of this film to culminate in the death of all six original Avengers rather than just Black Widow and Iron Man in the final product. The Russo Brothers objected to this however, as they felt that there wouldn't be enough time in the film to pay tribute to all of them, on top of it being incredibly overwhelming for audiences. Razor Fist was originally supposed to sacrifice himself to save Katy near the end of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, but his death scene was left out of the final cut. A deleted scene from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness showed Karl Mordo, who was on a crusade against all magic users due to a crisis of faith in the previous film, get killed and beheaded in the first act by the film's main villain, the Scarlet Witch. In the final cut of the film, Mordo is completely absent, save for his variant from Earth-838.

It was later changed so that he was just injured, and Lieutenant Ilia uses her telepathic/empathic ability to stop the pain in his burned hand. There was some debate as to who would get killed off in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Saavik or David Marcus. Ultimately they chose to have David make a Heroic Sacrifice to atone for the damage he had done with the Genesis Project and also to balance out the return of Spock. In Star Trek (2009), a death scene was filmed for one crewman, but the scene was cut, so he survived to return in Star Trek Into Darkness. He also had a death scene that was filmed for Into Darkness and cut, so he survived to return in Star Trek Beyond, where the same thing happened again.

There is a vauge line suggesting he might have died off-screen, but we never see it and nothing is ever confirmed. Additionally, while not a death per se, the mafia's absense also means that Light's sister Sayu is not abducted and traumatized in this version.

He gets murdered in prison in the Ultimate Edition, which was deleted from the theatrical cut. El Diablo survived in director David Ayer's cut of Suicide Squad, but the theatrical version sees him killed in a Heroic Sacrifice that was added during reshoots. The theatrical version of Justice League (2017) contains multiple examples of this due to discarding many scenes from Zack Snyder's original cut (later released on HBO Max as Zack Snyder's Justice League): Cyborg's father Silas Stone (Joe Morton) gets disintegrated by the lasers he uses on a Mother Box in the Snyder version of the film. In the 2017 theatrical version, he gets a Happy Ending with his son having more serene control of his cybernetic powers. The theatrical version ends with Big Bad Steppenwolf being beamed back to Apokolips with his Parademons attacking him and his final fate uncertain. He gets skewered by Aquamanâ€™s trident and then decapitated by Wonder Woman in Snyderâ€™s version. The Amazon Epione (who first appeared in Wonder Woman) shows up in the Snyder Cut and dies during Steppenwolf's attack on Themyscira, but isnâ€™t seen in the theatrical cut. Cyborg, Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman and Aquaman get disintegrated by the detonation of the Mother Boxes' Unity in Zack Snyder's Justice League, which is quickly undone by The Flash's Time Travel via the Speedforce. It was all cut from the 2017 version of the film. In The Flash Supergirl and the Michael Keaton version of Batman both perish during the final battle with Zod. In the original cut, both characters were revealed to have been restored to life in the new Close-Enough Timeline Barry inadvertently creates at the end of the movie, but this scene was removed from the theatrical release.

The scene was cut because the filmmakers were afraid that it would make the audience root for Marty to kill Buford. The line "you're under arrest for the murder of Marshall Strickland" was redubbed to "you're under arrest for robbing the Pine City stage." The camera cuts away from the deputy in the middle of this line, presumably to hide the fact that his lips don't match it.

However, the cage was empty at the time because the stuntman had already swam for his life.

Spared by the Cut / int_bb58cad8	comment	The theatrical version of Justice League (2017) contains multiple examples of this due to discarding many scenes from Zack Snyder's original cut (later released on HBO Max as Zack Snyder's Justice League): Cyborg's father Silas Stone (Joe Morton) gets disintegrated by the lasers he uses on a Mother Box in the Snyder version of the film. In the 2017 theatrical version, he gets a Happy Ending with his son having more serene control of his cybernetic powers. The theatrical version ends with Big Bad Steppenwolf being beamed back to Apokolips with his Parademons attacking him and his final fate uncertain. He gets skewered by Aquamanâ€™s trident and then decapitated by Wonder Woman in Snyderâ€™s version. The Amazon Epione (who first appeared in Wonder Woman) shows up in the Snyder Cut and dies during Steppenwolf's attack on Themyscira, but isnâ€™t seen in the theatrical cut. Cyborg, Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman and Aquaman get disintegrated by the detonation of the Mother Boxes' Unity in Zack Snyder's Justice League, which is quickly undone by The Flash's Time Travel via the Speedforce. It was all cut from the 2017 version of the film.

Knox's death was still planned as shooting began, but the crew loved Robert Wuhl's performance enough that they not only spared him, but gave him a Heroic Bystander moment during the climax. In Batman & Robin, Poison Ivy originally found Julie Madison at the Gotham Observatory after she had stolen the keys to the Bat-Signal from Commissioner Gordon and Ivy fatally stabbed her to death with a knife. She would later be shown using the same knife in the film during her fight with Batgirl. Julie's death scene was cut out of the film, because it was considered too dark for a film aimed for younger viewers, and because Joel Schumacher was interested in bringing her back in the planned sequel.

Spared by the Cut / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: When Terry Nation started writing "The Daleks' Masterplan", he was under the impression that Vicki was still in the cast and planned to kill her off in the story. She'd already departed, so Katarina was created and killed instead. Ian Marter would have preferred it if Harry had died saving Sarah in "The Android Invasion". Leela was originally going to be Killed Off for Real in "The Invasion of Time", where she would die defending the Doctor against the Sontarans. Louise Jameson was in favour of this. Ultimately, Graham Williams and Anthony Read felt that this would traumatise children. Peri's death in "Mindwarp" was originally going to be permanent. However, "The Ultimate Foe" later revealed that it was a lie by the Matrix and that she's alive and married to Ycranos. Nicola Bryant didn't learn about this until later and she was not pleased. The Brigadier was supposed to die in "Battlefield", facing off against the Destroyer. This was approved by Nicholas Courtney, Andrew Cartmel and John Nathan-Turner. Ultimately, Ben Aaronovitch couldn't bring himself to do it. In "The Invasion", Routledge attempts to shoot Tobias Vaughn, but Vaughn convinces Routledge to shoot himself. This scene was filmed, but was cut before transmission. It was restored in the novelisation. Part five of "Planet of the Daleks" was originally going to end with all of the Thal characters massacred by the Daleks. Terrance Dicks, however, asked that Terry Nation not include this plot point, as the series was beginning to be criticised for its violent content. In the original script for "New Earth", the Face of Boe was going to die in this episode (and thus impart his secret to the Doctor a year earlier) and the only way for the Doctor to cure all the diseased was to euthanize them all. But then Russell T. Davies read Steven Moffat's introduction segment in The Season One Shooting Scripts book, in which Moffat good naturedly mocked Davies, saying he "creates interesting characters and then melts them". This made Davies decide to have them all survive instead. The Face of Boe was spared because his final message was felt to work better in season three. In "School Reunion", what exactly happened to Milo between the Doctor's class and the scene at lunch? In the footage that was cut, the Doctor's questions to Milo actually made him collapse, prompting the Doctor to bring him to the school nurse, who turned out to be another Krillitane. This Krillitane then ate Milo, explaining what Wagner is referring to when he comes up to Melissa and tells her she's being moved up because Milo's failed him. The original plan for "The Doctor's Daughter" was to keep Jenny killed off. However, Moffat noted that Davies seemed to have a habit of introducing interesting new characters and then promptly killing them off, which led Davies to change his mind. In a leaked workprint of "Into The Dalek", Dalek Rusty self-destructed when he returned to the Dalek spaceship, destroying the spaceship and its Dalek crew. This was removed from the final episode, and Dalek Rusty made a subsequent appearance in "Twice Upon a Time".

Jill is definitely killed in the theatrical cut, but her stabbing is softened in the TV version - with a few groans dubbed over the shot where she falls to the floor (implying she survives). The girl Alice that Michael kills in the opening is seemingly spared by re-editing the scene where Mrs Elrod discovers the bloody knife in her kitchen (implying she dies instead of Alice). Janet's death is removed, and replaced with a scene where she says she's leaving the hospital. Jimmy's fate is left open in the theatrical version - he passes out from a concussion in the parking lot - but the TV cut confirms he survives. In the original script, Michael carjacks and kills a reporter who is seen in one of the first scenes, but her death was never filmed, so she presumably lives in both the theatrical and television cuts.

Spared by the Cut / int_e144ba19	comment	Dragon Age II was originally supposed to conclude with an Expansion Pack called Exalted March, which was to set up the sequel Dragon Age: Inquisition. It was also meant to end with the death of fan-favourite Varric. When Exalted March was cancelled during pre-production, the developers were forced to rework most of their plans into Inquisition itself. This ended up changing the direction they took Varricâ€™s character and he ended up surviving.

Spared by the Cut / int_e293455a	comment	Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Darla was originally going to die in the two-part premiere, which was changed at the last second. According to Darla's actress, Joss Whedon kept telling her she would be killed off next episode, which kept her alive until episode seven. Later when she returned on Angel, Darla was once again planned to die in the second season only for it to be pushed back to the third. Spike was supposed to be killed off in his introductory season. Firstly when the organ falls on him in "What's My Line Part Two", secondly, Angelus was supposed to kill him in "Innocence" and make his move on Drusilla. The crew loved James Marsters so much that he was kept on. Oz was supposed to be murdered by Angelus in season two, but his popularity with fans saved him, so Jenny was killed off instead. Angel was supposed to stay dead after season two, until plans for his own show were made. Wesley was originally intended to be a Hate Sink who would appear for a few episodes and then be "gloriously terminated". The writers became too fond of him to go through with it in the end, which allowed him to join and eventually become a fan favorite on Angel. "Bad Girls" was supposed to end with Buffy confronting Faith in her motel, only to find that she's hanged herself out of guilt for murdering a human. It was decided to keep her on as an antagonist. Xander was going to be killed by Caleb in "Dirty Girls" and The First Evil would take his form to torment Buffy. It was decided that with the finale approaching, there wasn't enough time to mourn him properly, so he lost an eye instead. In at least one draft of the script for "Chosen", Potential Slayer Amanda doesn't die. In the filmed episode, she falls to the ground in front of Buffy with an apparently fatal wound. Joss Whedon supposedly made the change due to learning how popular her character was becoming and wanting to amp up the sense of loss in the final battle. Early finale script drafts also had Xander die in the battle while the grieving Anya survives. In the actual episode, it's the other way around.

Spared by the Cut / int_e7f260e5	comment	Lilo & Stitch: In a deleted scene of the original film, Lilo takes Stitch to meet her "other best friend" Pudge, an orange tropical fish who she believes controls the weather. However, Lilo and Pudge get attacked by seagulls while Stitch, still a jerkass by then, watches in amusement, which leads to Pudge's death by asphyxiation and presumably being pecked by seagulls. Lilo gets angry at Stitch for letting Pudge die and later buries the fish next to her parents' graves, which leads to Stitch having a Heel Realization moment. The fully-voiced scene was cut for being too dark and because its message of mortality was superfluous to the overall story. In the final film, Pudge only makes a brief appearance in the opening just before the title card appears, and the later Lilo & Stitch: The Series confirms that he is still alive.

Spared by the Cut / int_e89f120b	comment	The 43 episode anime series Mobile Suit Gundam was edited down into three theatrical-length movies, with some additional new footage. Shortening the series means that several characters' death scenes were cut: Captain Paolo (the planned captain of the White Base) is carted off for care in both the anime and the film. However, the later scene revealing he died of his wounds was cut from the movie. The episodes featuring the deaths of antagonists Icelina and M'Quve were cut from the films as well. As such, they're presumed to have lived, with quasi-canon sources following on the movie continuity having one of them present at the series' climactic final battle.

Spared by the Cut / int_ef9ba9b4	comment	In prior cuts of Revenge of the Sith, Shaak Ti was killed in the beginning by General Grievous. This scene was cut, and Ti's death was moved to a scene during Order 66. However, that second scene was also cut, removing Shaak Ti's death from the film continuity entirely. Ti then returned in The Force Unleashed, where she was fought and killed by Starkiller. This remained her canonical death until Star Wars was acquired by Disney, putting nearly all the Expanded Universe material into the non-canonical Legends continuity. Shaak Ti's canonical death was then established to be during Order 66 just like in Revenge's second deleted scene.
