Disney has censored two scenes in Falcon and the Winter Soldier, removing blood and generally sanitizing the otherwise violent show on Disney Plus.
As first reported by The Direct, and independently verified by IGN, both scenes take place in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier's third episode. The first features Hydra scientist Wilfred Nagel, who is shot in the head by Baron Zemo and shown lying on the ground with blood covering his face. The updated version removes the blood.
The second shot takes place in the same episode. In the original version, Bucky throws a pipe through an enemy soldier's shoulder, while in the updated shot the pipe bounces off the soldier and injures them.
Neither change materially changes the tone or content of the scene save to make them slightly less violent, though some fans have suggested that it looks like Nagel is merely knocked out rather than dead. But with censorship an ongoing discussion on Disney Plus, it has sparked discussion among fans about Disney's varying standards.
One highly-upvoted Reddit comment asked, "Daredevil is literally on the service; why censor?"
Censorship continues to be a moving target on Disney Plus. When Netflix's Marvel shows moved over to Disney Plus, many fans worried that the more violent shows would be censored. Instead, as reported by IGN, all of them made it through fully intact, including scenes like a man being show in the face and Wilson Fisk smashing a thug's head with a car door.
The newest MCU show to debut on Disney Plus is Moon Knight, which debuted earlier today. You can read our spoiler-free Moon Knight series premiere review here, as well as our look at the most powerful characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
