Has Mavel released extended versions of any of their movies? I know a lot of them have had deleted scenes as extras, but that I don't remember seeing them actually put them back in any of their movies.

Which is a shame. It's one thing if individual directors don't want to do them for a varying legitimate reasons, but it's another if a producer dictates that for all movies under their purview.
I'm typically a big supporter of Feige but this is one of the few times I completely disagree with him.

I think the big difference here is that the movie was cut down by a significant number of completed scenes. This was allegedly to keep the attention of a wider base of viewers and to stick to the main plot of the story. After seeing the film I think that adding the missing stories can only help improve the film.
They are trying to create a single continuity across 30 movies and dozens of TV shows. If suddenly in one of those movies say, perhaps Quicksilver is both alive and dead depending on which cut of Age of Ultron you have seen, then you don't know for sure why his sister is flying off the handle like that?
Deadpool 2 has 3 cuts. Theatrical, the All ages Cut and the everything and the kitchen sink cut, but this is from before they returned to the fold.
I thought this was great.
Pascal was a lot more interesting as Reed than I expected, and gets my favorite line in the entire movie. But the film really belongs to Sue and Johnny. Vanessa Kirby flat out killed it, she was amazing. I thought it was intriguing that they essentially use Galactus as a metaphor for being a new parent, and facing something overwhelming and life changing that you can't really understand until you've done it.
I also though they did a really nice job with the Surfer. I liked the darker, more matte tone they used as opposed to the really burnished, shiny look from the first attempt. Galactus looked and sounded great, but was more a presence than a character here.
I think I liked Thunderbolts/New Avengers more overall, but that says less about the quality of this film than it does the quality of that one.

the 1960s fantastic four 2025 verison was way better than the 2015 verison
Yep. Reflective chrome texture was impressive in Terminator 2, but now it reminds folks of 1990s computer animation. It screams "CG, lookitme!"
"...who sends his assistant to give his food a little teaser before meal time." 
These behind-the-scenes videos came out a couple of weeks ago but I just stumbled on them:
As always, I greatly love seeing how much everyone in front and behind the camera enjoy making a film like this one. I especially love seeing all of the practical effects, including how director Matt Shakman deliberately used filming techniques of the 60s to help create that cinematic feel of 60s retrofuturism, right down to spaceship minatures built out of fiberglass and aluminum.
