I understand that someone has put out a version of Avengers:Endgame with all the icky women, POC and LGBT+ bits removed. Seemingly, it doesn't shorten it as much as you'd think.

Oh, right. It didn't even ping me (yay, long delayed enlightenment). I did wonder if it was Carol looking at Thor with benign amusement and not appreciation.

Well, it did have conversations about feelings that Hulk and Rocket had with Thor, which I'm sure count to the people jury-rigging the new cut.
