Disney+ Removes Stan Lee Tribute From Marvel Netflix Show

Image
Recently, Netflix rocked the world when it was announced that the service would be losing streaming rights to its own original Netflix series. This meant the likes of Daredevil , Jessica Jones , Luke Cage , Iron First , The Defenders , and The Punisher would be leaving their homes. Even better, they were posed to join the rest of the Marvel live-action library on Disney+. When the move was made, many people worried about censorship; the shows can be fairly brutal, after all. Thankfully, that was never the case, and the integrity of the shows was maintained. ADVERTISEMENT However, they weren’t immune from changes. For example, the original credit for Netflix in the opening credits was removed from the shows, instead replaced by a Disney+ logo. Now, another adjustment to one of the shows has been discovered: the removal of a tribute to Stan Lee.

Disney+ Responds to Controversial Censorship of Marvel Show

Image
Marvel Studios is getting ready to dive into slightly more adult content than what it’s been known for in the past, starting various conversations amongst fans as the MCU evolves. As the franchise moves to darker material like the recently released Moon Knight , on top of the recent addition of six Marvel Netflix shows, there are signs pointing to Marvel Studios embracing a more adult nature. It seems inevitable that this will be the case even outside of necessary adult themes in projects like Deadpool 3 , even though the PG-13 rated entries will also move in that direction. As Disney slowly makes these changes to its streaming service, however, fans are worried that this will lead to a more toned-down MCU than fans have seen even in Phase 4 with censorship adjustments. 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...

Disney+ Hilariously Removes Netflix Name From Marvel Show

Image
Fans were rattled recently when some unexpected news hit the web: Netflix was going to be losing its original programming based on some of Marvel’s famous characters, such as Daredevil , Jessica Jones , and The Punisher . They would no longer be able to be streamed on the service that they came into this world on; instead, audiences would have to go over to Disney+ to watch any of the series. Netflix’s Defender universe was once its pride and joy, even with some of the critical failures it brought about, such as Iron Fist . Many fans claimed Daredevil to be some of the best live-action Marvel content to exist.

Moon Knight Star Reveals How the Disney+ Show Borrows From Iron Man

Image
Moon Knight  is set to introduce a new and complex character into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The upcoming Marvel series will showcase Oscar Isaac's debut as the titular hero, a former mercenary who is given powers by the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. Moon Knight will go up against Ethan Hawke's Arthur Harrow in the series while also dealing with the character's dissociate identity disorder.  In the comics, Moon Knight's main alter ego is Marc Spector, the aforementioned former mercenary.

Moon Knight Artist Reacts to Not Getting Paid for Disney+ Show

Image
Before the premiere of Hawkeye on Disney+, advertising for the show was going into overdrive, but much of it looked strikingly familiar to artwork directly from the comics. It was then discovered that the original artist, David Aja, was not being paid for the marketing using his designs to promote the series. Similarly,  Moon Knight could be facing another, albeit smaller, backlash from fans. Aja speaking out so bluntly about not being paid caused some fans to push for a boycott of Hawkeye until Marvel Studios and Disney appropriately compensated him. Now, the artist responsible for what will no doubt become one of the most popular costumes to grace the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marc Spector's Mr. Knight outfit, hasn't been paid either. ADVERTISEMENT Another Marvel Artist Comments on Not Getting Paid Marvel Fans were excited to see that Oscar Isaac's Marc Spector would be donning the fan-favorite Mr. Knight outfit from the comics, anothe...

2022 has seen the return of live-action Star Wars projects.

Not only that, but the now-famous Mandalorian basically snuck in his own solo episode. While the book of Boba’s tale may have closed, the next show on the docket is one which fans have been anticipating for a very long time: Obi-Wan Kenobi . The return of Ewan McGregor’s iconic Jedi Master easily ranks the highest amongst audience anticipation. ADVERTISEMENT There have been calls for McGregor to come back to his Jedi role for over a decade now, and it’s finally coming true. Not only that, but he’ll be up against Hayden Christensen’s Darth Vader—alongside those pesky Inquisitors that will be on his tail. According to a new report, th...

After that’s in the bag,  Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk  will add to the MCU's Disney+ collection. The release order isn’t known yet, but both will continue the streak of introducing brand-new heroes.
