The OP lol. And yoou see the pic above now?How do you know these scenes in particular were recut or post production editing? I don't recall them ever giving a breakdown of what scenes they would be handling on the reshoots. Also maybe the film was made with the expectation the audience was familiar with the characters and thus a long character origin exposition wasn't needed especially as you say that info is available as a quick skim across a wiki. Not every movie needs to cover the origin just because it's the writer or directors first time handling the character, that's why people get so annoyed with Spiderman reboots, if the origin is known by the majority of your target audience then skip it.
I can't recall that easter egg care to refresh my memory
Also was that last line towards me or the OP?
