Just watched All Hail the King on Disney+. I watch everything with subtitles nowadays and noticed one character didn't say something that was written in the subs. I checked the Thor The Dark World blu ray to confirm and they have indeed edited a word out of the D+ version of this film. Super weird edit/censor.
A bit disconcerting really, I've been watching all the Marvel stuff on D+ unless it's not in 4K in which case I'll just watch the blu ray copy. I know there were a few high profile and random edits made to FWS, Punisher and Luke Cage that were apparently later restored. Bit random though, I just want to watch the most complete versions of these films/shorts/TV shows and a bit worried I might be watching an edited version without realising.
I'm pretty sure their copy of Avengers Assemble is the original one and not the weird censored version we got on Blu Ray in the UK. It has the US title and the scene in question fully intact.
Ahh well, not a lot anyone can do about it if they edit more media in future, half of the TV shows were never released on blu ray, much to the chagrin of my incomplete MCU shelf.
@RogerRoger I don't even know if I can say it here now that Disney deems it inappropriate lol. Not that Disney should be an example of our morality 😂. It's a word for a white person and also a word for something that you pull at Christmas and it has a hat, a joke and some other garbage inside it. Not a word I use a whole lot but I really wouldn't care if somebody called me it.
When I watched Avengers Assemble in the cinema, Loki's spear went through Coulson and visibly came out the other side. In the UK blu Ray, it went in and never came out, like the protruding tip was edited out. I noticed it immediately, mainly because the scene was so shocking in the cinema.
I looked it up, Disney initially said there was no change and it was the same as the cinema version. Then they backtracked and said it was different. They didn't recall the blu ray or offer replacements so that's the version the UK had until it came out again on Disney+.
In that time, I actually bought a copy from America that was unedited. Annoying really, I like the UK title of Avengers Assemble but didn't really want a gimped film!
@RogerRoger I think it's because there is no 12A certificate for home media, that was created only for the cinema, I think specifically for the first Spider-Man film that got slapped with a 15 when it was first submitted.
@RogerRoger glad you enjoyed doc strange more or less!
I love captain carter as much as the next person but I wouldn't change Captain America for the world. I'm rewatching the MCU from the beginning and just watched The Winter Soldier and I think it's resolidified it's place as my favourite MCU movie.
That said, I'm glad his story is done and a different multiversal Captain Carter still has adventures ahead of her 😃. I loved her design even before Atwell embodied the mantle and that only made me love the character more.
(Spoilers for Thor 4: Down by the Sea Shore) I just wish the same could be said about our newest Thor. Seeing Mighty Thor and Captain Carter kicking ass together would be awesome. Though I suspect we will get a multiversal variant of Jane's Thor in Secret Wars. At least I'm hoping we do!
@KidBoruto would be good if we get Heimdall back as well in that case! Watching Thor The Dark World again made me remember how bad ass he can be!
@RogerRoger ahh fair play to ya! I just remembered today that I have Agent Carter S1 coming up soon (her appearance in the first ep of AoS S2 reminded me). I wouldn't change that show either, I remember loving it back when it was on TV!
I might do a general write up of my thoughts so far at a later date, I won't tag you but if you read it, do forgive me if I gush a little bit over Chris Evans in that post 😆
I gotta ask though, would you trade Paul Rudd for Daniel Craig in Ant-Man? Looks-wise he actually probably could have played a younger Hank Pym if they had decided to go that way with the film. I don't think they did a huge amount different from Edgar Wright's original script before he departed (except add another Avenger) though that is pure speculation on my part. I'm happy with the movie we got though, I did love me some Ant-Man and I also loved The Wasp.
I thought Dr Strange was really grim actually! In a good way though. Especially Black Bolt's death. That was easily my favourite "cameo" in the film, especially as the casting further legitimises the TV shows. Plus Black Bolt is just so cool. And his death was an epic, awesome and gruesome scene.
I went to see Black Panther Wakanda Forever today. Brilliant cinema trip, the theatre was completely empty so I had the entire screen to myself! Just how I like it 😂
The film wasn't bad either. It's miles better than the first one, had a brilliant score as well. Noticed a familiar name from the credits (from Mando) so I'm not surprised.
It's a very long movie, nearly 3 hours but I wasn't bored at all throughout its runtime so it must have been decent enough!
Also Okoye is really funny. I had no idea. I hope they keep up the Okoye/Shuri dynamic in future installments because those parts were a joy to watch.
@RogerRoger sorry I thought I already replied to your comment!
Agent carter S1 is next on my list. It's actually only 18 episodes across both seasons so it's really short. I remember it being really good - especially with all the returning and new characters in it. I can't wait to get stuck in again 😃
@Jackpaza0508 I know, the second one almost had me in tears but I assume, what with this being the last outing for most of this team, that I am going to be crying (or doing my best to stifle it) throughout this movie. You can tell from the trailer who is probably going to get the chop. I won't say any more, I think the trailer was already spoilerific so I am going to do my best to forget what I've seen until the movie comes out.
Finished watching Ms. Marvel. Very good show, albeit a bit too short in my opinion. I thought it was really cool to see a Marvel superhero from a completely different culture. It was so refreshing compared to most other superhero shows. Wish we would've gotten more episodes but oh well.
@LtSarge I thought Ms. Marvel was better than expected. It definitely goes into new territory for the Marvel Universe in the sense it focuses on some underrepresented segments of the population and I appreciated that. Granted, I couldn’t really get along with some of the cringe that comes with teenage girl drama with mommy issues, but it wasn’t too bad. The light-heartedness of it all kept it from becoming too self-serious.
I actually played the Marvel’s Avengers campaign alongside watching the show, and in some ways I prefer the video game Kamala. The origin story is a tad different in the game and the voice actress conveys Kamala’s personality with a different nuance. The game has so many problems that I can’t honestly recommend it unless you really are curious and have 6-8 hours of free time that you just don’t know what to do with, but Kamala was one of the few things that the game got right. The TV show did okay on her as well, but it leans into the ‘misunderstood goofy nerd’ trope a little too heavily, imo.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution Yeah I've played Avengers a bit and thought it started out great but then it become so bad once the live service stuff settled in. Which is a shame because I really enjoyed playing as Kamala.
I thought the show made Kamala's powers more interesting with her bangle creating crystalised objects rather than her being able to stretch and become bigger like in the game. Still, it was interesting seeing different depictions of the character.
