Ive been a lurker ever since I stumbled across adywan’s ANH:R, and have been intrigued by this whole community ever since.

So here I go, throwing an Idea out there thats been talked about by a few other editors for a while:

A fanedit of all of the pre-‘avengers’ films, broken up into ‘issues’ each around 30-45 minutes long, with numerous tweaks between the 5 of them.

And I’ve already mostly finished the first 3 ‘issues’ as of now .

Here’s the First Fanedit release of Captain America.
11/5: Uploaded Issue #4 can be found here.

This is what I do, besides fanediting.

All in all, I think each of the the five films need some sort of fixing.

Goals for 'Captain America' :

1) Joe Johnson is a very 'workman'-like director, and likes to use more, rather then less. This drags some of the pacing on the many action scenes in the film, and I hope to change that, and up the tempo. Ive also cut out a few lines of dialogue or hid them in reaction shots.

2) Insert part of the 'Thor' intro in place of the 'Aliens'-esque intro. Thor is the oddball out of these almost-purely scifi-themed films, and by putting the magic bean of "There are gods, from other planes, somewhere in space, and they came here with some power, and left it." makes the Bad guys only badder. We as an audience member knows that hydras plans have some validity, while our protagonist and other characters just think hes crazy occultist. This also doubles as an intro to the COSMIC CUBE, the mcguffin of the upcoming Avengers film.

3)TOO MUCH HYDRA (aka i popped out the dvd to make sure it wasnt G.I. JOE.) the first act is now bookended by hydra scenes, and leaves us with Steve Rogers for a longer consecutive time, while making the selection of him as a candidate feel longer. I then removed a few hydra scenes that were too cheesy in my taste, while still making hydras 'plan' clear enough.

Goals for 'Iron Man':

1) Dont Touch the First Act. except maybe adding a black sabbath instrumental to evoke the "FUCK YEAH" feeling I had seeing the trailer for the first time.

2) Let the 10 rings terrorist group live. Adds some 'background benevolence' to Iron Man 2. (they might be helping vanko/hammer or made Rhodes blacker... who knows?)

3) making Obidiah Stane's reveal the same as when our main characters find out. Even keeping the reveal of his prototype to ONE line as he takes Tony's arc reactor, and finally when hes in the suit. Throughout the film, he just seems jealous of Tony's capabilities.

4) Increase pacing in some action scenes.

more coming soon.

1, you shouldn't link directly to your edit. 2, they got taken down anyway. 3, I like the way you describe this, very good ideas.
