Game of Thrones: An Honorable Cut (Released)

Hi everyone

Game of Thrones: An Honorable Cut was made as an alternative way of watching the Game
of Thrones series with all the gratuitous sex, nudity, torture, weak and boring storylines, and overall cheapness taken out. Please message me to download!

I have taken all 8 seasons of Game of Thrones and edited it down into 30 “chapters”, each the length of a feature length movie, ranging from 1:30 to 2:14 hours. Each “chapter” focuses on the stories of a select few characters, with an overarching theme given in the title of the chapter. I have made sure to tell the story in a linear fashion and keep everything that is best about the series in. This does not mean I’ve taken out all sex, nudity and violence, because sometimes it is justifiable to keep the story going, and sometimes it has a strong dramatic effect. I have mainly taken it out when it cheapens the effect, or makes for weak storytelling.

Overall I have cut the series down from 4214 minutes to 3151 minutes, roughly trimmed it by about 25%.

I’d recommend watching this if you’ve either:
Seen the Game of Thrones series and you want to rewatch it, but don’t want to relive all the cheap, ridiculousness and silly plot points of seasons 6-8 and all the gratuitous sex, torture and nudity of seasons 1-5, or you basically want to get through it quicker, without having to watch through all the boring bits.
Haven’t seen the Game of Thrones series, and you’re into fantasy series’ like Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, but you’re put off by some of the criticism that the show has had about sexual violence/rape scenes and poor writing towards the end. This new edit can’t undo some of the bad writing of seasons 7 - 8. The reason why these seasons weren’t as good was mainly down to too much happening to quickly, and it is impossible to fix that through cutting, I have instead kept all the strongest material from these seasons that keeps the story going, and taken out all the extra bits.

Hello and welcome!

Your edit of GOT sounds interesting, especially as I am looking to begin watching GOT again with my step son who hasn’t seen it before.

I would appreciate a link to check out your work.

Thanks in advance

Hi MoviesGamesMusic

I have sent you a PM, this version of GOT should be a good one to watch with the stepson - it’s a little bit more family-friendly! Though I’ll warn you - I haven’t cut out all the sex/nudity, just the gratuitous bits! So for example, you can expect the tower scene at the end of S1E1 and the very last scene of Season 1 to still be in there.

Sent you a pm. Thanks for all the hard work. Excited to check it out.

Once you have watched the series, please give me feedback on it here.
So far I’ve had feedback about the hardcoded subtitles in chapters 26-30 and the low video/sound quality. In terms of the subtitles, I will be taking those out by the end of May, and I have decided I will be purchasing the blu-ray versions of all the seasons so I can do a HD version of the edits, which I predict will be ready by the end of July. In the meantime whilst people are happy to watch the SD version please let me know if there was anything you believe didn’t work well so I can make these amendments in the updated HD version.

Also let me know if there’s any other series you think this feature-length “chapter” format might work well with, I’m happy to make more! I was thinking of doing a Twin Peaks one, which includes material from the ‘Fire Walk with Me’ movie, the original series and the new ‘Return’ series, compiling it down to about 20 movies.

Thank you

Hi

It is so good to hear that you are doing a HD version. In this day and age, SD just hurts my eyes! Lol

Look forward to your update in July 😃

Excellent on the upgraded cut. So far my wife and I are loving these, but would also love a better quality version.

Just an update:

I know I said I’d have versions without subtitles for the last few chapters by the end of May - and now that time has passed, unfortunately I don’t have these ready right now, but it is because I’ve been working through all the seasons to create a HD version of all the chapters. In this new HD version I will be amending any errors I made in the original movies, including the subtitles in the last few chapters. This will still be done by the end of July, and I will be uploading each chapter as I go along. I’ll keep you all updated about it via PM. Thank you everyone for enjoying the original movies despite the quality! I just thought it was pointless to amend the subtitles but keep it low quality, and then go back to it again when I make it HD. At the moment I’m just cutting all the footage, and in a couple of weeks I’ll be compiling it into the chapters, and once that happens you will see me uploading a new movie every 1-2 days!

The HD versions are finally here! I have uploaded Chapters 1 - 10 onto a google drive, please PM me for a link to this. I will be uploading all of them throughout the month, so by the 31st July you should have them all! They are now HD 720p, couldn’t manage to get them in 1080p because of the software I use, but it’s a whole lot better than the SD 480p the others were in. The sound quality has vastly improved too. Hope everyone enjoys the new HD versions, please let me know what you think of them!

Nope not even started on them yet. Currently getting all the Game of Thrones ones exported and ready in the folder, will start on it once I’ve finished. With the time it took for the Game of Thrones ones I wouldn’t expect it until at least next year. The Game of Thrones edit took me about 3 years to do!

All the Chapters are now uploaded in HD. I said I’d do it by 31st July, and here we are! Please give me a PM if you’d like access to them.

Thanks

Hi can you send me a link for this I’d love to check it out, thanks.

Wow, I was looking for something like this earlier this year, and I actually considered doing it myself but simply didn’t have the time.

I would love to have a link.

Thanks,

Hello, I’m interested in this. Could you send a PM, please? Thanks!

Sent PMs to all of you, my edits are all completed, finished them back at the end of July. Hope you all enjoy. Please let me know if you have any questions about them.

Twin Peaks edit is also coming along now too, I should have finished that by the end of November.

Thank you ArtisDead! Since August I’ve been working on the same sort of edit but with a chronological version of the Twin Peaks series. I’ve just finished it today and it’s all ready if any of you would like a link to it. If anyone has enjoyed my Game of Thrones edit, and would like to start watching Twin Peaks or happens to already be a fan of Twin Peaks this one is for you. Here is a link to the new topic I started for it:

Hi dgraham414, I have taken out all the sex scenes and nudity that I found gratuitous in the series, however there are a few scenes I have kept in for story reasons. Overall in this edit there are probably about 4-5 sex scenes kept in (generally the more wholesome ones, apart from the Cersei/Jaime one in the first episode). Nudity is generally kept to a minimum but there isn’t none whatsoever. I would probably say the edits bring it down from a NC-17 to an R.

Does Oberin still get his head decimated onscreen? Might not be for everyone, but I really appreciate the bombast and spectacle of that particular death scene.

Yep, that’s still on there - kept a lot of the gory stuff which serves a purpose within the story, like I wouldn’t take the Red Wedding out for example. It’s all the gratuitous stuff that’s gone (a lot of Theon’s torture scenes in S3, the rat torture scene in S2 etc.)
