It seems that there are several issues (ranging in importance) with the UK DVD/BR release of The Avengers (sorry - "Marvel's Avengers Assemble").
Thats what it was called in the UAE too when I saw the film in Dubai.
I actually like that title though, AVENGERS ASSEMBLE

Yeah - that bit has become confusing....Disney DVD apologised for the omission of the schwarma (speling? We don't call it that over here....) scene from the UK DVD, but they didn't omit it...it's there...so, I guess that's a bit of a bonus...
Yeah, I was coming on to say, for all its flaws, the UK Blu-ray does include the schwarma scene. First time I'd seen it outside of poor youtube footage.

Hmmmm....big fuss going on over this....
It seems that there are several issues (ranging in importance) with the UK DVD/BR release of The Avengers (sorry - "Marvel's Avengers Assemble").
Firstly - the DVD and Blu contains what might appear to be a significant edit - Agent Coulson's death scene - Loki's spear protruded from his chest in the Theatrical version....not any more it doesn't. Disney first tried to explain this by saying it was required for the 12 Certificate....the BBFC basically said "You what? News to us...would even be illegal if a version of the film is being distributed that we haven't approved". Disney UK then finally confirmed that they had made a cock-up and used the wrong master for the UK home-media releases. Whoooooops....watch this space to see how this turns out....
...and - just to piss us off slightly more....there are hardly any extras....unlike the US releases which seem chock full, we have no commentaries, pretty-much no nothing. If we want anything substantial, we have to import the US (thankfully region-free) Blu. Pretty piss-poor treatment, I have to say...I mean - I'm not THAT attached to masses of extras, but it ould be nice to have the same treatment as our friends across the pond? And a full version of the movie too??
Apparently, the US version also has TWO scenes during the credits...we got the first one, but second one is missing....and was missing in our theatrical cut too! Damn...
Was this rectified or is this still the current version in the UK?

Ha! Am I the only one to click on this thread thinking it was about the British tv series about the adventures of John Steed and his various girl partners?
But yes, I absolutely hated the title change. Those of us old enough to remember the tv series are not so stupid that we don't know the difference, and those who are too young are unlikely to have heard of the tv show.
I grew up in the 60s (we're looking at 6-8), and watched the series AND read the comic books, and knew they were two completely separate entities.
