The problem with that is that every faneditor will remove different jokes.

Less is more in this case. Cut only the jokes you are absolutely certain that are ruining the flow of the story at that point.

The your mom joke comes to mind here, this scene is supposed to be TENSE, but it… isn’t, mostly because of that terrible joke. It even manages to lessen the stakes of Rose’s sister’s sacrifice right after.

But you know, fanediting a movie is about making it what you believe it should be like, so yeah… ultimately, the choice is everyone’s 😃

Right. I don’t want to cut jokes because I hate fun, I want to cut the specific jokes that for me personally took something away from the movie. Jokes that are distracting or don’t fit for some other reason. I saw the movie with a friend who laughed at almost all the jokes and personally I found most of the humor funny as well so I want to keep most of it.
