Disney Explains Why "The Avengers" Death Scene Was Altered

I don't know if it's related to the fact that many young thugs or innocent teens are stabbed to death in some streets of London...

What a lame excuse! Digitally removing something inappropriate is also called as censoring.

Remove the spear tip digitally or not, Coulson is still dead, and I mourn.

Not really. But seriously... who gives a f*ck about this?!

Joss Whedon sure does like to impale characters...

morons!!!

Look at the poster.

It seems the actors are stacked on it based on amounts of $'s they were paid.

Except Jackson. I'm sure he was paid more than a few on the team. But he's back there... I don't know, maybe whitey the artist stuck him back there because he was black.

"In other words, censorship removed the spear for theatrical showings, but no extra censorship was used for the Blu-ray."

It's not censorship, not as you intend to imply, anyway, if a company decides to alter *their* product to conform to the expectation(s) of the intended audience.

In fact, this would be called 'self-censorship', and people, even individuals, engage is self-censorship everyday.

Grow up.

umm how is that NOT censorship??

because they did it in theaturds not on home video??

f*ck off.......

It's not censorship in the sense Alex and idiots like you understand the concept.

You think because some company didn't include some gratuitous gore or some tit shot, your 'right' to such material has been infinged, and god help the world when an adult child doesn't get his baba of media milk.

Thus, the reason why I differentiated (oooh, scary big word!) between censorship and self-censorhip.

Fact is, it's THEIR property. They change it the way they like, for whomever, just as I can trim my hedges to conform to expected neighborhood standards, which is exactly what happened here.

But why worry? I'm sure you already have the DVD and BuRay, like a good little consumer slave, so why the f*ck are you crying?

Grow the f*ck up, stupid faggot child.

And oh yes, Scott Baiowulf. How droll. Because the Germanic epic poem and some goofy little queer sitcom actor from the 1980s have anything to do with one another.

God damned idiot children and their keyboards. Like a toddler with one of those Fisher-Price xylophones.

Meanwhile, I promise not to remove my spear tip from Scarjo's punani.

Thank Goodness! I thought it was removed because it Insulted the Prophet Muahamad...Or howerever you spell that crap.

censorship - The practice of officially examining books, movies, etc., and suppressing unacceptable parts.

i dont care if you dont like the name, but youre wrong about the def of censorship.
