Fanedit: Game of Thrones - Film VI - The Repentance of Sins
Original: Game of Thrones: Seasons 5-6
Author: Anjohan
Released: 2022

Spoilers ahead.

This film-to-tv edit of Game of Thrones covers a small part of Season 4 and large parts of Seasons 5 & 6. As before, good A/V Editing. A/V quality is good but there are noticeable bitrate drops during dark scenes. Audio editing and rescores are very well executed.

Many major plot points from the 5th and 6th seasons are trimmed, largely following the same events as the show.
If only Stannis’ storyline could have been saved. Perhaps an impossible task.
One major streamlining that is very well done is the speed with which we go through Daenerys’ S5 storyline + part of her S6 storyline. The Harpies seemed to drag on endlessly in the show.
Interestingly, some changes are made to Bran’s arrival to Bloodraven’s cave, which perhaps will feed into the overarching storyline that Anjohan is going for.
Arya’s entry into the House & Black of White is instant, no timewasting. Similarly, her other scenes (all from S5) are well chosen without all the boring filler the show includes.
The Sparrows’ plotline isn’t concluded - perhaps Anjohan is going for a 3 act structure for the Sparrow arc, with Tommen aligning with them falling at the end of this edit.
Leaving Jon’s resurrection for the end of this edit was a great idea, it leaves over 2 hours and plenty of events between his death and resurrection, whilst in the show he was brought back almost as soon as he was gone.

Again, Anjohan’s done a good job here and shows his editing skill. Although the later GoT seasons fall in quality, this is much much better way of watching and rewatching them compared to the originals. My preference would’ve been for more aggressive cutting of some plodding scenes and extended battle sequences.
