Game-Changing F-Bomb in Nick Fury's Secret Invasion Surprises Marvel Fans
Nick Fury drops a long-awaited F-bomb in an alternate version of Secret Invasion episode 3, adding a thrilling twist Find out how this 15-year-old deleted scene finally comes to life, delivering an unforgettable moment after the intense events of Infinity War
Warning: This article contains spoilers for Secret Invasion episode 3 (and a profanity)Following Avengers: Infinity War's decision to remove Nick Fury's curse word as he disappeared, Secret Invasion finally allows Samuel L Jackson's iconic MCU character to drop his first true f-bomb. However, it is important to note that this curse word was likely not included in the version of the episode that the majority of Disney+ viewers watched. This establishes Fury as the second MCU character to use the f-word, following Chris Pratt's Star-Lord who improvised with the word "f*ck" in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3.
In Secret Invasion episode 3, a captivating conversation takes place between Talos and Fury, uncovering the fact that Fury's achievements as the leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the founder of the Avengers were actually the result of the 20 Skrulls he utilized as undercover agents. During their discussion about the peculiar habit of humans picking up after their pets, Fury humorously states that he has been cleaning up after Talos for 30 years, suggesting that he has been resolving the messes caused by the spies. When Talos remarks "that's rich", Fury cleverly responds with "ah, the truth's a mother dog, isn't it?" skillfully avoiding the use of the word "bitch". Interestingly, the German version of this episode did not follow suit and included Fury's original retort as the conversation progressed in the following manner:
How To See Nick Fury Say "Motherf*cker" In Secret Invasion
Talos: "Seriously, take a look at that. Can you think of any other inter-species relationship where it's deemed acceptable to handle the other person's waste?"
Fury: "I've been taking care of your waste for over three decades."
Talos: "Oh, that's quite amusing!"
Fury: "Well, the truth can be quite harsh, huh?"
In the German dubbed version of Secret Invasion episode 3, there is a noteworthy alteration in Nick Fury's dialogue with Talos. This modification affects his origin story in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). If you wish to experience the word "motherf*cker" spoken by Fury, simply navigate to Settings and select Deutsch from the Audio menu. The particular scene occurs precisely at the 24-minute mark. It is interesting to observe that the German closed captions still read "mother dog".
Nick Fury's Secret Invasion F-Bomb Pays Off A 15 Year Old Deleted Scene
In addition to nearly uttering a profanity at the end of Avengers: Infinity War as he disintegrates after Thanos' snap, a clever reference (let's call it that) can be found in the German "Easter egg". Nick Fury, in his first appearance in the MCU 15 years ago during Iron Man's post-credits scene, almost used the same curse word. There was an alternate version of the scene where Fury exclaimed "Nick Fury motherf*cker!" in response to Tony Stark's demand for his identity. Those who are sensitive may want to skip the clip below...
This particular expletive has become somewhat of a trademark for Samuel L Jackson, and it's precisely why it was nearly included in Avengers: Infinity War. Although it may seem like he has a penchant for foul language, there's a deeper reason behind his use of these explicit words. The truth was revealed after Jackson's repeated use of "motherf*cker" in Shaft, as he explained that it served as a means to overcome a childhood stutter that had rendered him silent for almost a year (according to Variety).
I struggled with my speech for a while, and surprisingly, it actually helped me stop. Focusing on a specific word relieved the pressure and allowed me to complete the rest of the sentence. I'm not exactly sure why, but I find it easier to pronounce. The discovery was completely spontaneous—the word came to me and somehow aided in overcoming the stuttering with the "d-d-d's" and "b-b-b's"... Even today, that word continues to assist me. Although I still stutter occasionally, I manage to get through it on those challenging days.
In essence, the utilization of the F-bomb in Secret Invasion is not merely a reference to Samuel L. Jackson's habit of using it in other movies or a missed opportunity from Avengers: Infinity War. It serves as a significant tool for the German voiceover actor, paying tribute to the MCU's longest-standing actor. Now that's what I call a profoundly impactful choice.
