Just spent all day writing down all the changes. In total, the final running time is at 98 minutes. A total of 6 minutes’ worth of deleted scenes have been added. In total, I have removed 48 minutes from the original version. A lot shorter than I expected, but I can’t complain, since my first two fanedits are also around the 90-minute mark as well. 98 minutes is appropriate enough for my fanedits. So, without further ado, here’s the list of changes under the spoiler tag. As is the case with my previous two entries, - means deleted, + means added, and / means it’s been edited differently.
