Disney+ Fixes Censorship Problems In Falcon and Winter Soldier (Photos)

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier  pushed the boundaries of its TV-14 rating for Marvel Studios. The star-spangled series carried the legacy of the Captain America  film franchise through its visceral action, intimate fight sequences, and innovative combat. That innovation was exemplified in the final moments of Episode 4, which featured Wyatt Russell's John Walker using the iconic shield to bludgeon a Flag Smasher. Since the show exists exclusively on Disney+, Marvel Studios has free rein to make retroactive alterations. This was first done in  WandaVision , as fans noticed the finale's post-credits scene was subject to scenic upgrades months after it initially aired.  The Falcon and the Winter Soldier  was not immune to these changes either, as two shots from Episode 3 were scrubbed of their blood and violence.  ADVERTISEMENT Marvel Studios Unlike WandaVision 's modifications, the changes made to Anthony Mackie's solo series were uninte...

ADVERTISEMENT On Tuesday, March 29, fans noticed that "Episode 3" of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was altered on Disney+ to appear less violent, specifically with Doctor N...

In mid-February, Netflix announced that it would be losing the streaming rights to all of its Marvel shows by the end of the month. This would include its original slate of series, which made up an entire Marvel era in and of themselves.  Daredevil ,  Jessica Jones ,  Luke Cage , and  Iron Fist  will all be finding a new home. The only problem is: nobody knows where that'll be. One of the biggest roadblocks that keep them from making a simple switch over to Disney+ is the content held within. The Netflix shows were always meant to be for a mature audience; it's part of what separated them from the other MCU projects, aside from being television series. ADVERTISEMENT That sadly doesn't mix with the service Disney+ tends to be, nor does it match the image Disney has classically tried to stick with. People getting their heads smashed in by car doors doesn't really fit the family-friendly narrative. Well, now the creator of Netflix's  Lu...
