Just Who Do They Fear To Offend?

Marvel (really Disney) Studios put out different US  and International promo posters for Ben Kingsley's Mandarin character in Iron Man 3. Take a look. For the US:

 And...

Just who doesn't want to see a villain with a bunch of weapons? Not the audience. The only people who might be offended are the Pols in the midst of their 2nd Amendment violations. If evil masterminds don't have full-auto rifles and semiautomatic pistols, you certainly don't need any, do you? And those ammo belts, just hand those over to DHS like a good slave, okay?

Maybe that's why Stan Lee's old company is suing Disney. Pussies.

Despite the lack of weapons in the US version, I just love the blue helmet with the large bullet-hole. I'm sure that's very appealing to many American demographics.

Yes. Eric, that does make up for a lot. :-)

On the title: I don't think they are trying to offend anyone, but who are they trying to not offend?

Yes, I was having a double-negative synapse collapse when I wrote that. Any way I did it, it sounded wrong.
