The Ice Cream Pizza Cut came about for a few reasons:
- I wanted a movie version of Ms. Marvel to ease Marvel Marathons
- I was curious to see just how well the show could work in a movie format.
I hope this edit captures the feeling of the original show, without dragging or feeling disjointed. It clocks in at 2 hours, 28 minutes, while retaining all of the major plot beats.
This edit is in no way meant to be an improvement of the original, rather a translation to a shorter medium. Most of the cuts here were difficult decisions. I would, without hesitation, recommend watching this edit only if you don’t have the time to commit to 6 episodes, or are trying to pack the D+ shows into a Marvel marathon - it’s a great show, if a bit too tightly-packed.
Changelog
I’ll be honest, most of the cuts were made on-the-fly. I came in with a general concept of what I wanted, and very little idea how to get there, even after multiple watch-throughs. This changelog will be rather sparse, considering the length. Some of the new transitions utilize Whip transitions, which were heavily used in the movie.
