Over the past few weeks, Marvel fans have flocked to Disney+ to revisit the six shows formerly hosted on Netflix that joined together to make the Defenders Saga. From Charlie Cox's Daredevil to Mike Colter's Luke Cage, these shows are making a return to prominence after their streaming move. However, not all the press surrounding the transition is positive. When the series jumped from Netflix to Disney+, some interesting changes were made, even though none of the brutal violence was taken out. The Netflix logo was removed from the opening sequences for all six shows, bringing laughs with the new visuals, but one big removal has some fans up in arms.
