The Team Unites finally aired in the UK today!
But they edited it for UK broadcast. Grr...

Although I did notice that they removed the strap appearing on the Megazord's helmet.
Edit - Oh yeah, and quite a few blade shots were removed weren't they? Like the blades popping out of the Mega Blades and some Megazord battle edits? I was distracted at the time so I might be wrong on that.

I just re-watched the ep on Nick Replay side-by side and yeah, quite a few little edits.
To go with the PAL-speedup, full-screen instrumental credits and Marvista logo...
Pretty much all closeups of blades were cut (like when just after Mike put the finishing slash on the little-sized MOTW), the car crash with Mike flipping over it was cut, the Megazord's helmet chinstrap appearing was almost completely cut (the only bit remaining was the last little fraction of a second of it already there), the blades popping out of the Mega Blades were cut, and the flashback shot of Jayden stabbing the MOTW's arm and blood spurting out was painted over.
So quite a few little edits but nothing too major. Blade close-ups and blade-popping-outs being removed is understandable I guess. The car crash and the blood spurting I'm really not surprised about since I was surprised they were even in the US version. The chinstrap appearing... I guess that's a strangulation thing. That seems a little silly but maybe understandable... Maybe.
(I just hope that the Mega Blade edits won't affect the toy being released here, lol.)
lol, what a screw up! Disney Channel series? On Nicktoons?Toast said:
