Apparently Hollywood scrambled and changed a bunch of things in their films and some weren't even shown in theaters or were cancelled altogether. This mostly involved cutting out the Twin Towers from scenes, but games and other things such as stand up specials, music, and literature were also altered after the events.

If I'm being honest, I think the redo is actually better. Minus the cut comedy scenes. The alien spaceship and island environment just work.
Ytsurt
Rockstar also removed a mission in GTA IV where you have to fly a plane around Liberty City
GrimdogX
Yeah they did the same thing with MGS2
Janusha
Many movies were altered. Die Hard 2 was "banned" and all kinds of things. As if that did any good whatsoever in the light of what happened.
SilentScreamsX
Why though? I mean, does editing the towers and jet planes out of media help people pretend it didn't happen?
BrightRavenMaven
I remember seeing a Spiderman trailer where he nabs a get-away helicopter between the twin towers in a giant web. Anyone else remember that?
RedInCircles
I remember reading up on how so much got cut from MGS2, also.
sub80
Against changes for sensitive people
DanielBonnett
They also changed the hot potato scene from Jumba just blowing up a gas mains, so that green clouds were less evil looking than fireballs
OptimisticDownvoteLover
The recut makes more sense to me
ThatQuietlySmirking
I remember the original trailer for Spider-Man featured the Twin Towers.
FlatPlutoSociety
Yeah, and pretty prominently, too. Spider-Man originally caught a helicopter in a web between the towers.
ThatQuietlySmirking
That's the one! It was a pretty cool trailer. Shame.

911 also change the original spider-man, when he catches the plane over the bridge, originally it was between two buildings.
Terminology
Bit of a shame. The original is so much better.
usersubbordercontrol
Imagine if lilo and stitch was released before the attacks. What would they do, take it down and replace it? Release a disclaimer?
MinisterKai
Probably not. Changes after the fact are mainly to avoid being accused of making light of a tragedy. Released before, they couldn't have(1/2
MinisterKai
(2/2) seen it coming, so they probably wouldn't do anything.
ManMashine
I still mourn a lot for the Spiderman Twintowers spiderweb scene that was only in the pre 9/11 teaser and not in the actual movie :/
Reviire
I personally prefer the ship because alien ship was cool as.

Disney behind the spontaneous collapse of wtc 7??

loses his icecream and worldview shatters, moves, makes his peace, gets the bravery to try icecream again, boom, gone.

Always feel sorry for that dude.
MrRandom314159
I think the recut makes it better. He tries to find a secluded spot, but fate just doesn't want him and ice cream to be.

Always wondered why the inside of the alien ship looked like an earth plane...

I know they held The release of George Carlin’s special “I Kinda Like It When a Lotta People Die” bc it was right after 9/11. Released 2016

Was it released September 11, 2016?
PianoMan2112
So going by South Park’s “anything is funny after 15 years”?
Quigonjinnandjuice
I still remember the original trailer for Spider-Man had him making a web between the twin towers. Saw it once and then never saw it again.
z3lfmoord
Even after the reshooting the movie still sucked
calway
Reminds me of the level in Red Alert 2 where you have to defend the Twin Towers against the the Russians.
TheCyberGoblin
I thought it was you take it over as the Russians, deploy a psychic beacon there then have to hold off Allied counter attacks?
calway
You're right, I miss-remembered. Ironically you lose the game if you destroy the Twin Towers.

I can imagine someone making him to it all over while saying nope some terrorists hit some buildings, we must PC everything
IToldHerILoveHer
Or maybe, just maybe, they wanted to be sensitive to the thousands that lost loved ones in a tragedy that was still recent.
Jekkies
Our perhaps it's Disney, a family entertainment company, who didn't want to upset the hundreds of children who lost their parents.
captbananapants
Stuff that, the few must suffer through emotional distress so the many can be mildly entertained¿
Melancholy69
Yeah this is true. Disney has been this way since day 1
calcifear
Yeah, it's just "PC" and not "hey this really terrifying thing happened just a few months ago, maybe let's not be terrifying little kids"
aselfdefeatingattitude
To be fair, being PC just means being respectful of other people's feelings.
BayazTheBenevolent
That's not what it means. Being respectful is all that. Being PC is adhering to the current majority opinion on sensitive issues.
Kloet07
Cool as hell, but sadly it's also unrealistic
Ladydeth68
It's a cartoon you walnut!

Because the rest of the movie is completely realistic...

If it makes you feel any better I gave you an upvote because I knew the literal people were going to downvote you to Oblivion
JugOfVoodoo
I think the recut makes more sense. Jumba & Pleakley were there to extract Stitch so they should have a ready-to-go vehicle.
eagle193
It's been a while since I saw the movie, but didn't they request an extraction after capturing Stitch?
JugOfVoodoo
Found a script and you're right. Pleakley calls Galactic Command and says "We'll wait right here."
JamesSylar
And there is a point made in the movie that Stitch can develop beyond his destructive nature because there is no big cities there.
JamesSylar
Granted, it could be a city in the next island and they got there with the plane, but then Ice cream man wouldn't be there.
HeroQueenofAlbion
Maybe that city has REALLY good ice cream
JamesSylar
I can't argue against that logic.
TheFriendliestGiant
I feel like I prefer the recut, simply because I don't think I'd believe an Earth-made jumbo jet could handle like that.
SederHishtalshelus

I think it's less the vehicle, but more physics, air drag and other factors and math and stuff.

BishlamekGurpgork
To be fair, all that really showed is a steep takeoff and some slaloming back and forth.
BishlamekGurpgork
I mean, I know that class of craft can do a roll, I've seen the video, but it's not evident from that video.
speat26WX
It absolutely couldn't handle like that, but this is an animated childrens' movie, where hyperbole comes to life
Famp
I mean you're actually wrong, so I don't know why everyone's upvoting this
TheFriendliestGiant
Fair enough, but there are limits to anyone's suspension of disbelief, and that just happens to be mine.
FoxySpirit
You care about realism in action films? There isn't a single realistic action film. *dare*
speat26WX
Assuming the existence of aliens, Battle: LA
calcifear
It doesn't have to BE realistic, but it does have to FEEL realistic in the film universe. And that's a very personal thing.
TheFriendliestGiant
Fucking THANK YOU, someone who understands basic subjectivism and suspension of disbelief! I regret I have but one upvote to give!
blacksheepcannibal
The landing gear on the side of the building is a bit ridic, but it's a kids movie about aliens. Big jets actually are surprisingly spry tho
blacksheepcannibal
You just gotta empty the fuel and pax out. Then you're left with not a lot of plane but A LOT of engine.
KarateCanine
And yet we are told that they did on Sept 11th....... dun dun daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa lol

Tin foil hats here! Get your tin foil hats! Only $9.11!

Honestly it was fairly plausible up until the landing gear part. The alien ship did make more sense though.

MetroidJunkie
You're questioning realism in a children's cartoon containing aliens. :D
kayakninjas
The alien stuff can do whatever it wants, but we know something about jets so it's jarring when they do weirdness. It's about consistency.
TheFriendliestGiant
I mean, sort of? Like, alien thing doing that, sure, no problem, but a jumbo jet is just too known for me to be able to suspend disbelief.
FakeUserToMessageHornyPeopleWith
It's not supposed to be realistic though, it's supposed to be funny.
TheFriendliestGiant
But the jet isn't funny. And the visuals are actually improved with the brighter colours of the alien ship, and the natural backdrop.
Suprisedthisnamewasnttaken
You'd be suprised what a skilled pilot can do with an empty commercial planes
BaselessRumors
That, or even just a few Saudis who trained up on some Cessnas down in Florida for a while.

I don't believe an alien geneticist would be a good pilot.

A scientitian can do anything, from particle physics to genetic engineering to advanced piloting. All in a days work for sciencians.

didn't he even take his sceptic superior with him?

He did. Because the superior decided that the pilot needed someoe to supervise him during the flight. Well...
