Hi Thanos could I get a link as well. I was about to rewatch these, but watching them in a movie format you’ve described sounds interesting.

MINI UPDATE

I am currently abandoning the revisiting of ST2: The Terry Ives Cut, as I always felt that it did not provide sufficient answers regarding Eleven’s absence during the main events of the season and the change in her appearance in the final act.

Perhaps I will return to it after the final season and the resolution of this subplot.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Hello everyone!

As I announced earlier this year, with my new versions of Stranger Things 2, The Lost Sister and Stranger Things 3 having already been released, my next step was to revisit my cuts of Stranger Things 4. Although I’m very close to finishing, I don’t intend to rush things, so I don’t have a release window at this moment.

However, I would like to share some of my progress and some new ideas for rebranding my entire collection.

ABOUT STRANGER THINGS 4

Stranger Things 4: Part One

• Improved transitions between scenes and plotlines.
• Shorter runtime:
  After trimming several scenes and removing a huge chunk of Episode 4, I managed to reduce the runtime of this cut from 3hrs 32mins to 3hrs 13mins with credits. This may still seem like a long runtime for a film, but given the amount of content and my intention to maintain a coherent story, I feel it is a fair runtime for this cut.
• Removed Victor Creel’s flashback:
  This was perhaps the most difficult decision I had to make, but also the most lucrative. While trying to find ways to shorten the length of this cut, I realised that the overall plot and ending could work just as well without Nancy and Robin visiting Victor Creel at Pennhurst. All the information the gang need about Vecna’s connection to the Creel house comes from Eddie’s uncle, the old newspaper research and Max’s encounter with him.
• Potential future alternative cut:
  Due to the popularity and impact of that scene, as well as Victor’s possible return in the final season, I may end up releasing an alternative/extended cut of Part One.

Stranger Things 4: The Monster and the Superhero

• Improved transitions between scenes.
• Hardcoded stylized English subtitles for Russian dialogue.
• New runtime 1hr 46mins:
  Added Lieutenant Sullivan visiting Dr Owens in Nevada.
  Added two scenes of Lieutenant Sullivan interrogating Agent Wallace.
  Added one small connention to Part Two before the end credits.

Stranger Things 4: Part Two

TBA

ABOUT THE REBRANDING

I have noticed that my choice of titles for my films has caused some confusion among many of you, and to be honest, I have never been very confident about them either. So, to avoid further confusion and for the sake of clarity, I have decided to rename each film and present it with the appropriate subtitle.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

I would be very grateful if you could help me decide on these new titles, either by choosing between the ones I suggest below, or even by suggesting some of your own. For now, these are the titles I have come up with:

• Stranger Things: The Vanishing of Will Byers or Stranger Things: The Weirdo on Maple Street

• Stranger Things 2: The Mind Flayer

• Stranger Things 2: The Lost Sister (current title)

• Stranger Things 3: The Mall Rats or Stranger Things 3: The Battle of Starcourt

• Stranger Things 4: The Massacre at Hawkins Lab or Stranger Things 4: Vecna’s Curse

• *Stranger Things 4: The Monster and the Superhero (current title) or Stranger Things 4: Escape from Kamchatka

• Stranger Things 4: The Mind Lair or Stranger Things 4: Vecna’s Mind Lair or Stranger Things 4: Vecna’s Curse (if not for Part 1)

As always, thank you for your continued support and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

“Stranger Things: The Vanishing of Will Byers” is a great title because you understand the subtitle within the first 10 minutes, and it’s the central focus of season 1.

Yeah, I feel the same way!
Same with ‘The Mall Rats’ (though not as obvious, but you get the mall vibes and the rats right from the start) and ‘The Massacre at Hawkings Lab’ (the first and last sequence of the film).
To be honest, I am struggling to come up with an appropriate and catchy title for the last film, as none of these suggestions really stick in my mind.

TTR said:

I’d suggest using DND references for your titles.

That’s a clever suggestion.
Unfortunately, I am not very familiar with DnD, so I will have to do some research first.

But as I said, I do not intend to rush this rebranding, my ultimate goal is to have these new versions “launched” before the release of Season 5.

COMING SOON…

Nice. Are you only going to add titles to each edit, or are you re-making your edits from the scratch?

I had recently revisited and released both cuts of ST2 and the cut of ST3, so I did very little work on them apart from adding the title in the opening credits, but the rest of them are essentially completely new cuts, following pretty much the same narrative of course.

I am currently rendering the last part of ST4 and putting together the new subtitles. As soon as I’m done with that, I’ll update the collection and the full changelist from the first post.

THE UPDATED 7-FILM COLLECTION IS NOW COMPLETE

I am happy to announce that I’ve finally finished uploading the updated versions of my Stranger Things Film Collection!
I’ve put a lot of time and care into this update/rebranding and I’m really relieved to finally be able to share my work with you all. I really hope you enjoy the results.

Along with these edits, you can find my new custom-made posters and English subtitles for each film.
Once again I would like to thank everyone for their input and patience!

Upcoming Extended/Alternative Cuts:

Stranger Things 3: The Mall Rats (The Nevereding Cut), which I’m currently exporting
Stranger Things 4: The Curse of Vecna (The Creel Cut), which I’m about to start working on
Stranger Things 4: The Mind Lair (The Trooper Cut)… which is something cool I’ve been working on for our metalhead friends. Honestly, I am so excited to share this one.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Both Alternative Cuts, Stranger Things 3: The Mall Rats (The Nevereding Story Cut) and Stranger Things 4: The Mind Lair (The Trooper’s Cut), have been added to the collection, the latter being a brand new never-before-released version.

Some metalheads may have guessed what this new cut might be about from the title alone, but I will explain.
Whlie the ‘Master of Puppets’ scene is great as it is and has become an iconic moment in the show, I’ve always wished they’d gone a different way with it. Since Eddie is an Iron Maiden fan (as am I) and owns ‘Piece of Mind’ on cassette (although it’s not obvious in my cut) AND shares the name of Iron Maiden’s iconic mascot, I wanted to use one of their songs to honour both the band and the character. And that’s where ‘The Trooper’ came in - one of Iron Maiden’s most iconic tracks, with an amazing guitar solo and lyrics (at least the first two verses I used) that fit perfectly with the mood of the scene. The challenge here was to isolate both dialogue and sounds from the original clip, none of which were entirely clear, and match them to the song, in order for the scene to make sense. However, I will say that I am quite happy with the result and I think it gives a whole new and refreshing life to this fanedit.

This change may only please a small group of fans, but for me at least, ‘The Trooper’s Cut’ is my go-to cut of the final part of ST4 (as is ‘The Neverending Story Cut’ for ST3).

These uploads also complete the rebranding of my collection and will be my last approach to this project. Until Season 5 comes out, of course, and I may have to go back and revisit some things.

I recently announced that I would not be messing with my Stranger Things cuts until the final season, but here I am again. Over the past few weeks I have taken the time to experiment a bit more with what I have already done and so:

• I added custom-made clear logos for each film.
• I re-uploaded Stranger Things: The Vanishing of Will Byers with some additional music, a few scenes from the original series added back into my cut and some rearranged scenes and sequences.
• I re-uploaded Stranger Things 4: The Mind Lair (The Trooper’s Cut) with a more polished Upside Down concert. https://youtu.be/AHtsSjVvBRk
• I re-cut Dustin and Suzie’s scene from the Season 3 finale, removing all the singing parts. https://youtu.be/tJH1P6lWypE
  However, I have not yet decided if I will include this scene in my Stranger Things 3 film cut.

PS: I am also planning on redoing certain parts of Stranger Things 4: The Curse of Vecna where the added music is sounding a bit low. While editing and watching my cut with headphones, everything was sounding alright, but while watching on TV I noticed that some parts need a bit more work.
