Social media and streaming sleuths have done it again.

A quote showcased in the first scene of 2010’s Robin Hood typically reads as follows: “In times of tyranny and injustice when law oppresses the people, the outlaw takes his place in history.” However, the version currently streaming on Prime Video features a blank canvas, as noted by TikTok user @theshannonduke0 in a post shared on Monday (May 5).

“Anyone else notice this?”reads the caption on the TikTok, which has garnered over 487,000 likes.

A source informed DECIDER that while the HD and SD versions of the film are correct, the UHD version that excludes the quote was delivered to Prime Video incorrectly by the provider in 2020. Prime Video is working on resolving this and has requested the correct version from them.

Directed by Ridley Scott, the 2010 iteration of the outlaw story stars Russell Crowe in the title role of Robin Longstride, alongside Cate Blanchett, Oscar Isaac, Matthew Macfadyen, and Mark Strong.

In addition to Prime Video, the film is available to rent or buy on digital platforms.

Though the reason for the absence of the quote has since been debunked, viewers were quick to call this “censorship.”

“They’re quietly rewriting history on streaming platforms,” one wrote.

“Censorship is real, this is why you buy hard copies of things, books, movies… from the Robin Hood with Russel Crowe [sic], censored on Prime,” another posted.

Whether or not the move was technically censorship, someone else claimed that “this is such an obscure movie to go out of your way to censor, too.”

Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer were announced as the stars of The Death of Robin Hood in May 2024, per Variety. According to the outlet, A24 purchased the rights to the film a couple weeks later.
