Do you mean the first movie? All those Kree scenes that supposedly made Yon more sympathetic? Or have there been new concrete news?

The scenes with Yon I know we didn't get:

- Yon and Ronan arguing/talking before the deployment to Torfa (there were stills with them released before)

- Yon and Vers going through Lower Hala (Jude mentioned it was one of his favourite scenes to shoot :/ Brie also said some 'fun stuff' with her and Jude was cut, there was like a few seconds of b-roll footage from a source I wasn't able to track down but there was a gif somewhere)

- The blood transfusion scene (a bit of it was in the trailer, possibly the full scene featured Yon introducing himself to Vers 'for the first time', since they cut out all the scenes where his name is mentioned before the betrayal reveal to ~keep the secret~ even though they were already selling Yon-Rogg toys so it wasn't much of a secret anyway 🙄)

- (Possibly) Yon looking for Vers on Torfa after abduction/being back on the ship and worrying about her but also resolutely stating 'she'll be fine. She's Kree' (there was a still of him in a cave on Torfa, and Hero Storybook, a comic prequel features a form of this scene, and I'm assuming the book was written based on original uncut script for the movie so I'm not sure if it was cut at movie or script stage yet)

Basically I would give a limb for the original uncut script AND the original uncut movie

(another reason I know there were many more deleted scenes is because they did a focus group showing and people apparently were sympathetic towards Yon and since Marvel thinks it's audience is allergic to nuance they cut a lot of those scenes. The movie was definitely over 2 hours long before it was cut down. Also, before the DVD release we were promised 26 minutes of deleted scenes but in the end there were barely 10 minutes so I believe we are missing AT LEAST 15 minutes of Yon (and Vers) footage which is a lot considering Yon probably has like 15 minutes of screen time left in the movie we actually saw :/)

thinking about how Vers didn't go to Kree Military Academy (or whatever it's called) since she was a child like regular Kree but still got a spot on THEE most elite covert operations team (that functioned as a unit for 9 years with each member hand-picked by Yon for being best in their field which means they didn't technically need a new member and there were no spots available) ...being the Commander's 'Personal Number One Member of Starforce'™ sure does count for something, doesn't it? ;)

...and since Yon doesn't do anything by halves he probably taught her everything she needed to be good enough for the most elite team himself....

where's our scenes of Yon teaching Vers how to fly Kree ships and Vers gets frustrated how long he keeps her on a simulator without letting her fly the real thing so she sneaks into Helion because she's like 'i can totally fly this thing' and then crashes it on the first try 🤣 and she thinks Yon is going to yell at her that she wasn't supposed to but instead he runs to the wreckage, ashen and shaken with worry, gently checks her for injuries or a sign of concussion...and only when he makes sure she's okay he gives her a stern talking to and grounds her (literally, no flying) for a while longer. .. and then signs and offers to take her on a supervised short flight because she pouted and she yelps in delight and gives him a surprise hug that almost knocks him off his feet ... (she's good at that...knocking the ground from under him in more ways than one)

there's a tumblr glitch going around that basically muted this blog (for a week it had no messages and wasn't showing up in the notes as if blocked by op of every post ever) and all the original posts i made disappeared from the tag search.

it seems to be mostly fixed but my old posts haven't showed back up. which would include like 2.5+ years worth of yonvers posts i made. i guess for now the only way to find them is browse #roggvers original

His true North, his star 🌟

A concept: Someone puts a hit out on Captain Marvel, not like there's a shortage of people she could piss off in the galaxy.

Yon takes the job...but only so he could find out who wants her dead/details and warn her. People don't question it because they assume he hates her since in everyone's eyes she ruined his life. He brought her in so taking her out is his responsibility and all that.

Carol gets wind of it, and assumes Yon really wants her dead. She's not scared but out of everyone he's probably the only one who could get close enough to actually do it. She attacks him when she sees him and doesn't want to hear him out. During their scuffle she gets distracted and misses how he pulls out a knife and throws it seemingly straight at her....only to hit an actual assassin that crept behind her during the commotion square in the heart.

While she stares in shock because a second ago she thought she might die, Yon reaches out to help her up:

-- Dare I hope you'll actually listen to me this time?

--There's a first time for everything.

Okay, I’ll fully admit I have trouble reconciling Yon-Rogg’s actions once Carol breaks out of the simulation with everything that preceded it. So what is your take on his actions when he gets into the drop ship and basically launches into space with her attached? I keep telling myself ‘well he’s in the heat of combat so instincts just take over and he’s not viewing her as Vers, he’s viewing her as the enemy.’ What’s your take on this?

I don't have to reconcile anything, at no point does he actually try to harm her, he never used deadly force on her and all of his actions after she breaks out of the simulation are focused on getting his hands on the Tesseract, he tries to deter her or hold her back long enough to take the box, once he finds out she has been distracting him he stops fighting her altogether and goes in pursuit of people who actually have the Tesseract, when she wouldn't let him go he simply uses magnetic force to swat her away before she does irreparable damage to his escape pod and while he didn't know she can breathe in space she's literally wearing Starforce issue Kree armour that not only lets her breathe in space but, apparently, absorbs so much impact that allows her to walk away without a scratch after falling from space through the Earth's atmosphere, so Yon knows what she can and can't take.

The only two from her former crew who are prepared to use lethal force are Minn-erva (would have shot her point blank) and Korath (tries to saw her in half with a sword), Att-Lass and Bron-Char fighting resembles a bar brawl of people with super strength more than anything while Yon's strategy is just temporary containment. Not even capture, he stops trying to recapture her the moment she breaks free from the Supremor. Even tho his orders were to bring in 'the core and the girl', he lets her go and focuses all his energy on the Tesseract thinking that maybe it could buy him some goodwill from SI after this catastrophic failure.

I can't blame him for not immediately switching to Carol's side when from his perspective the Skrulls are the bad guys (and that's all he's even known) and it just seems like Carol took the side of dangerous terrorists over his which is a huge shock so he just reverts to his original mission which was to get the core in the first place, but even with that being his only salvation he was still not prepared to shoot Carol point blank. He never could. He would rather die by her hand then. It would be a fitting end.

But again Carol did what she does best which is throw the wrench into his plans (and he can't help but admire her for it anyway ♥️)

[roggvers]

No, but he literally WAITED FOR HER, like he could have just slunk away somewhere, maybe hid or smth, but instead he waited for her in the desert, while she was dealing with the Accusers, watched her being amazing in the sky, knowing she can totally obliterate him, but she disabled his escape pod like 'i ain't done with you yet' and he stayed put, waiting to face her (hoping she would grant him an honourable mercy killing), and he put down his weapons, his only actual defence from her...and she still somehow managed to surprise him yet again, because his infuriating headstrong incredible Vers Carol never does what is expected and never ceases to amaze him...no wonder he can't take his eyes off of this hurricane of a woman until the last possible moment when he's shipped off to a fate worse than death...

Sometime in the future after they overthrow the Kree Empire, Yon finds himself with a lot of free time on his hands, and that's when reading fiction becomes one of his favourite pastimes, as the Kree only encouraged reading for learning purposes - leisure was always seen as a waste of time when you could be practicing a valuable skill or mastering a new one - it took Yon a while to accept that he can just relax and enjoy himself without constantly being useful and productive. Carol was never a big reader (more of a 'ill wait for the movie adaptation' person) but she loves falling asleep curled into his side while he reads, sometimes aloud, the sound of his voice soothing and deep.
