This is a international variant of the video. The intention is to have the text rendered as a forced subtitle so that it can be localized without having to serve a different video for every language.
They don’t have the English version doing that, likely because it was assumed it would serve the original video instead.

I watch a lot of movies with subtitles, the usual approach is to have “forced” subtitles track (to be used in combination with a foreign language VO/dub).
That being said, it’s possible that you are right. But considering the overall approach used by American oligarchs, it’s reasonable to be sceptical and not give them the benefit of the doubt.

There’s a million movies and shows you can stream with anti-authority or anti-capitalist messages, with lots of them being popular today. Why would they choose this particular movie to censor? The 2010 Robin Hood isn’t exactly at the top of the streaming charts.

That’s a fair point.

I’m sure this is having a massive impact on pacifying all the people watching the 2010 Robin Hood movie.

Hollywood is filled with drama lovers (citation needed).
Being told to censor stuff like this would get leaked, like it was every other time. Every can’t even stop their primary products from being leaked.
