Bleeding Cool pointed out that the Avengers movie has been edited for the UK and a few other European DVD releases.
Have a look-see, though you might have to go to the original site to see this:
Avengers DVD release in the US
Avengers UK dvd release
It’s like one of those games on the back of the paper place mat at the fast food restaurant. But really, it’s kinda hard not to see the big spike sticking out (or not sticking out) of Coulson’s chest.
Why did they do this? There are a few theories but nothing flys.
It can’t be ‘censorship’ because the UK is way more forgiving than the US in these kinds of things.
It can’t be ‘reconning’ Coulson’s death because not all dvd’s have had this done.
It can’t be an accident either because, well, you’d have to literally go in and take this out. Then someone would have to put the wrong file into the machine to make these discs. I don’t really know how dvd’s are made but I assume that like most production stuff, if this was a mistake on the production end then not all UK discs would have the mistake.
Until we hear from Marvel, this remains a pretty interesting mystery…
