->''"There was some MPAA rating confusion about ''The Avengers''. The early previews for the film clearly identified it as being a "PG" movie, but the actual release carries a 'PG-13.' There's really nothing in the film to warrant that, with one minor exception – a [[PrecisionFStrike single use]] of the 'f-word.' What's curious is that this particular expletive seems to have been dubbed in after the fact. It's not unreasonable to speculate that Creator/WarnerBros, not wanting the film to be tagged with a 'wimpy' PG, added one really bad word to bump the rating up."''
