Netflix Marvel Shows on Disney+ Are Fully Uncensored

Disney+ is set to launch later this year, offering exclusive Marvel content. Netflix has created a new documentary about the show that showed how much work goes into making these shows for their viewers in an uncensored state.

The “disney plus marvel shows on netflix” is a recent discovery. Marvel shows that are currently airing on Disney+ are fully uncensored, as opposed to the censored versions that were available on Netflix.

Marvel fans were concerned that the transition of Netflix’s Marvel shows to Disney+ would result in censorship (people being shot in the face and Jessica Jones getting down and dirty with Luke Cage may not be things that kids need to see), but surprisingly, they are being streamed in their entirety, according to IGN, which analyzed the newer releases of the shows and found that there are no changes from the previous seasons. Thrilling moments like strip club portions, guys being burnt alive, and Kingpin viciously crushing people’s brains in are said to remain unaffected, which is surprising given Disney’s traditional aversion to pushing above a PG-13 classification for its streaming programming. However, Disney did provide enhanced parental controls to coincide with the premiere of Netflix’s live-action Marvel series on its platform, so this isn’t entirely unexpected.

According to IGN, these are some of the remaining violent scenes:

Wilson Fisk slams a vehicle door on the thug’s head (Daredevil S1 E5)
A guy is hit in the face with a bullet (Daredevil S1 E13)
The sex scene between Daredevil and Elektra (Daredevil S2 E5)

Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and other Netflix Marvel shows were not censored by Disney (IGN)

IGN conducted a thorough analysis of the different Defenders series, comparing how they appeared on Netflix to how they appear on Disney Plus, and discovered that Disney made no changes to the shows.
IGN compared all occurrences of violent or sexually explicit moments from the Defenders series on Netflix to how they appear on Disney Plus and determined that nothing has been deleted in a line-item comparison spanning 382 episodes and 10 seasons.
In North America, Disney Plus is notorious for keeping its material to a PG-13 classification, with more adult content moving to Hulu, another Disney-owned streaming service. The Defenders episodes, on the other hand, seem to be an exception.
